I Get It Now
08. Tech N9ne Lyrics

Industry does not, feel you
The industry doesn't understand you

I'm sick of this shit
I'm tired of dealing with this

Blind bitches wish
People who can't see the value in N9ne's work want it to disappear

N9ne's wickedness away
They want to erase the edgy and unique nature of Tech N9ne's music

Motherfuckin' killer B
A tough and threatening individual

There's about to become a distillery
N9ne is about to again create a lot of content at a fast pace

The majority don't really feel a G
Many people don't truly appreciate the artistry of Tech N9ne

With the paint and a dark soliloquy
Using his image and unique style to create new music

Music, they said killed the fee
People criticize N9ne's music for being too dark or edgy

Me, Krizz, and Makzilla free
N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, and Makzilla create music free from the constraints of the mainstream industry

So I'm gonna have to keep it real with me
N9ne will remain true to his artistic vision

Fuck them straight with agility
He doesn't care what others think and is confident in his abilities

They callin' me crazy
People misunderstand or criticize N9ne for his unique style

Don't wanna play me
People avoid listening to him because of his unorthodox approach

So I make the music that will target their babies
N9ne creates music that is meant to open the minds of younger generations to more unconventional music

And open 'em up to wicked shit
Exploring darker, edgier music and themes

They wanna know how hip is this
People are curious about his unique approach to music

This never been no hipster shit
N9ne's music is not a product of popular trends or fads

So the fakers see me and dis the 'fit
People who put on a façade of being hip or edgy don't appreciate Tech N9ne's unique style

I ain't cool like the late great Biggie Smalls, the illest
N9ne knows he won't be admired like the late legendary rapper

So I went the route of a killer clown comin' to pillage a village
N9ne embraced his unique style and image to better stand out in the rap community

Steady tryin' to get 'em all to feel it
N9ne wants people to appreciate his music and unique style

But I learned you can't please everybody
N9ne realized that pleasing everyone was impossible

When my mother was livin' they used to say "your son is scary Maudie"
Even N9ne's own mother was uneasy with his image and music

I don't give a flyin', dyin'
N9ne doesn't care what others think or say about him

Spy inside of al-Qaeda, they lyin'
Tech N9ne knows he's not someone who needs to be monitored by organizations like al-Qaeda

When tryin' to diss Tech N9ne
N9ne knows that people who try to discredit him only make him more popular

And when they all shall buy us
When the consumers of music will not agree with the mainstream's view of what is popular,

I don't fit the part for main stream cause I'm rougher
N9ne doesn't fit the image for mainstream rap because of his unique style

Only time they wanna look like me is Halloween motherfucker
People only try to emulate his style for Halloween costumes

So what I've come to realize is I will never fit in
N9ne knows he's an outsider in mainstream culture

So it's my duty to make sure that I stand the fuck out
N9ne should keep expressing his unique style to differentiate himself from others

Stick the masses, whack it off in the casket
N9ne refuses to cater to appealing to the masses by creating generic music

Sound like they wrist broken like put the fuckin' lotion in the basket
His music creation process is intense and draining

How is he livin' lavish when he rap really fast and he mask it?
People question N9ne's success despite his unconventional style

They don't get it when I gas it
People don't understand his unique style

They laugh at it, mad it ain't ratchet
People criticize N9ne's music not being following the mainstream trends

They wanna wear clothes just like A$AP Rocky, like Yeezy and Drake
People admire popular rappers like A$AP Rocky, Kanye West, and Drake's fashion sense

That's what they identify with, not with a nigga with the clown paint on his face
People prefer well-known mainstream fashion choices rather than N9ne's unique image

I get it that I'm wicked
Tech N9ne is aware of his dark image and style

When I spit it they be comin' to get 'em a ticket
N9ne's fans eagerly anticipate new music releases

Talk a lot of shit at the gate and they got to zip it
People who talk negatively about N9ne must accept his success and popularity

When I'm bustin', they open up to somethin' different and dig it
People discover a new appreciation for unique music as a result of N9ne's work

Yes I've become a big boss
Tech N9ne has gained a significant amount of success and control of his work

But I'll never be cool as Rick Ross
N9ne knows he will never reach the level of mainstream popularity as Rick Ross

That's okay, N9ne's been rhyming
Tech N9ne remains true to his artistic passion for music

And now he's shining
N9ne is currently experiencing success in his music career

You ain't with it
If you don't identify with his music or style

Sit it down
Don't bother with him or his work

I'm a vicious
N9ne's music can be aggressive and intense

Wicked clown
His image is a scary and unique clown

And I'm livid when the critics give us frowns
N9ne takes negative criticism and criticism from music critics to heart

Trippin' with this nigga's sound
People who don't understand N9ne's work or style are confused by his music

Yup, I get it now
N9ne knows people don't always understand or appreciate his work but continues regardless

Me and you, we are not the same
N9ne knows that his unique approach to music sets him apart from others

We unequal and the people is to blame, get it?
N9ne's creative value is not appreciated by a large group of people

I guess I got the wrong pants on
N9ne knows that his unique style sometimes distinguishes him from others

And I don't really make no dance songs, get it?
His music is not created for the purpose of making people dance

So what I've come to realize is I will never fit in
N9ne knows that his others might not be able to appreciate or relate to his unique style

It's okay, because I will make a difference
N9ne is confident in his abilities to create unique and powerful music
