Red Nose
17. Tech N9ne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

That's real
People act a different way with me
I feel don't nobody wanna play with me
And that's ill cause they treat me like a stain on their clothes
The industry are my foes
They treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
They put me down
And treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
Don't make me clown
And have to go put on my red nose

[Verse 1]
I got my face painted
Crazed, ain't it?
That a black dude lookin like he got a white tattoo
People thinkin that he way tainted... by evil
Treat you like fecal
Wanna beef you when they meet you
People perceive you to be lethal
When you ain't see through like tissue
I feel like the industry givin me vivid stupidy
When they distribute these fictitious sissies
When I rip it so serious and wickedly
No forgivin thee
When I claim were Strange
Everyone tellin I'm insane, were bane
I'm a independent, talented individual
Well workin but the industry is the reindeer games
And they call me Rudolph the Red
They know I don't rip a mic
But I chew off the head
Spit it at the PD's and DJ's and VJ's who be gay
You fake it, You get threw off a ledge
It be tough, We snuffing, Homie trust me
Nothing is worse than knowing your beautiful
But your treated like an ugly duckling
So I'm Rocky Dennis
But I'm so polished, Nothing can stop in this
Bad and the brain ain't no good, It's not replenished
The fakers who imitate me and mock me finished
We checked a mill, Yes it's real
Through Strange, I don't need your major label record deal

[Chorus]
That's real
People act a different way with me
I feel don't nobody wanna play with me
And that's ill cause they treat me like a stain on their clothes
The industry are my foes
They treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
They put me down
And treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
Don't make me clown and have to go put on my red nose

[Verse 2]
They tend to stray away from me because I'm different
And it's been this way with me ever since I was an infant
Other kids were jealous
They say that the look off in my eyes seemed hellish
Never knowin later on in life, I would relish
The thought of me ballin, Livin my life and sell it
I blame it on program directors
Go and request us, No damn selector
But if you got a lot of doe, man
They bless ya, Sure can depress ya
When you knowin that there ain't nobody better, mane
Stuck off in the cold when the bad weather came
Now they gotta see me livin it up and cheddar gain
Comin up from forever pain to it never rain
So I throw up the finger to everybody who got a tore up demeanor
Thinkin that Tecca N9na was sure nuff a dreamer
But the flow is so heavy, It could show-up Katrina
Now it's time to take it and you all must face it
Tech N9na is sacred
All of you hatin faggots couldn't see me with LASIK
Red nose, The leader so follow
"You gotta be ready to get up and go" is the motto
Made it through everything negative, bravo
The money that's comin to feel like I won the Lotto
Now I'm about to put the slay on auto
Swoop down on the DJ's, Tell 'em all to quit the replays
Make 'em put Tecca N9na in the Sorado

[Chorus]
That's real
People act a different way with me
I feel don't nobody wanna play with me
And that's ill cause they treat me like a stain on their clothes
The industry are my foes
They treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
They put me down
And treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
Don't make me clown and have to go put on my red nose

[Verse 3]
I'm comin in, Drivin my short bus
With it's nose, I don't need a torch up
Bustin through like the industry's Porsche
Comin after who ever didn't support us
Rip down it's bleachers
I blew up cause my sound is ether
Underground up done found it's creature
Not scared of a nigga with clownish features
I makin a name outside your mainstream
Real, It wasn't an insane dream
From the beginning, I really came clean
You about to see Strange gleam
Take it over and gain green
Strange Music and RBC along with Fontana
We gon' change things

Now it's so funny
Cause with money I can fly away
Or read them haters off in the deepest darkest hide away
Why do they do me wrong? My music truly strong
Because I'm different
All you cowards wanna shoo me gone
Yes, This is Strange year
World wide fame's near but the game's queer
Sometimes I feel like I'm Rudolph the Reindeer
And the music they said "blows" is on top and the cred grows
You gonna have to open up the door for the bro with the red nose

[Chorus]
That's real
People act a different way with me
I feel don't nobody wanna play with me
And that's ill cause they treat me like a stain on their clothes
The industry are my foes
They treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
They put me down




And treat me like I got a red nose, red nose, red nose
Don't make me clown and have to go put on my red nose

Overall Meaning

The song "Red Nose" by Tech N9ne is a powerful commentary on the way the music industry treats artists who don't conform to their expectations. Throughout the song, Tech N9ne talks about feeling like an outsider and being treated like a "stain" by the industry. He compares himself to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, who was also ostracized for being different. Rather than giving in, Tech N9ne vows to keep pushing and make a name for himself regardless of the industry's treatment.


One of the most striking elements of the lyrics is Tech N9ne's use of metaphor. He likens himself to a clown with a red nose, both for the way he's treated and for the way he sometimes feels like he has to present himself in order to be heard. He also talks about feeling like a creature, a monster, and an outcast. These comparisons help to convey the intensity of his emotions and the depth of his struggle.


Overall, "Red Nose" is a powerful song that speaks to the experience of anyone who's ever felt left out or ostracized. It's a reminder that even when we feel like we don't belong, we have the power to create our own path and make a name for ourselves.
