You Owe Like Pookie
17. Tech N9ne Lyrics

I don't know if it is gon' jump, you front
I'm unsure if trouble is going to arise. You might provoke me.

Owe me money you might get stomped like a punk
If you owe me money, I might retaliate aggressively.

(hey) like a chump (hey) we can thump
If you act foolish, I'm not afraid to fight you.

(hey) what'chu want (hey) c'mon
What do you desire? I'm prepared to face you.

You owe like, Pookie
You owe me a significant amount of money, like the character Pookie from 'New Jack City.'

Everythang thang, coochie
You're wasting money on frivolous things while still owing me.

You're soft like, sushi
You're weak and vulnerable, like the raw fish dish sushi.

If you owe like, Pookie
If you owe me a large sum of money like Pookie did in 'New Jack City.'

Yes you do, you owe like Pookie
It's true, you owe me a lot of money like the character Pookie did in 'New Jack City.'

Yes it's true, kiss all that booty
You're in debt to so many people, you should start asking for forgiveness.

I'm still drivin', with no license
I'm still pursuing success, even though I lack the proper credentials.

Cold night when a woman gets wined and dined and it's no pipin
It's disappointing when a romantic evening doesn't result in intimacy.

Remember the crackhead on 'New Jack City,' the low life one
Reference to the character Pookie from the film 'New Jack City.'

(Yup!) Well his name Pookie (gyah) and you owe like him
You owe me as much money as Pookie did in the film 'New Jack City.'

At the trailers, thought we began trust
I thought we established a bond at the trailer park.

You stand up my hand is on your damn butt you say I'm nuts!
I put my hand on your butt, and you accused me of being crazy.

The way I ham up, you said you understand us
You appreciated my charismatic behavior and said you understood me.

And lessons that I can't cut but in the end you jammed up!
I have principles that I won't compromise, but in the end, you put yourself in a bad situation.

I don't take nothin' (gyah) but I expected somethin'! (Gyah)
I don't usually ask for anything in return, but in this case, I expected compensation.

'Cause you stated after dinner and movie next was humpin' (gyah)
You teased me with the prospect of intimacy after a date, but you never followed through.

And I was always taught by mom and them respect a woma (gyah)
My mother taught me to treat women with respect.

But you owe like Pookie I suggest you pay when the checks are comin'
You owe me a significant amount of money, which I recommend you pay when you can.

First tee I go to jail then Wayne too
If I go to jail, Wayne will likely encounter legal troubles as well.

Notice a traumatic drop in sales when the lame dudes
When low-quality musicians try to copy my style, it hurts my sales.

Come to try the same, dude remains in the game fools
Copying my style won't guarantee you success in the industry.

Wantin' to be starts everybody ain't spangled
Not everyone can be a star, no matter how much they want it.

So how can I be confident and say these rappers ain't be prominent
It's hard to assert my dominance when there are so many aspiring rappers.

Today they grabbin' put a comical stain on (music, music)
Modern rappers are releasing music that is often seen as humorous and silly.

It happens to be looted, you sad, you signin' for a little bit of stacks
They're making money, but it's not enough to secure a prosperous future.

But when you miss intuitive facts (you ruins it, screws it)
If you ignore important information, it will lead to failure or mistakes.

Uck-fay everybody else, I'ma fuck everybody else
To hell with everyone else, I'll do whatever I want.

I walk up in the sto' what they purchase (Nothin'!) All by myself
I'm successful enough to make a scene by myself with nothing to purchase.

With all the money lost to booty suckers (you owe a lot of people)
I've lost a lot of money to people who don't deserve it, and you're one of them.

Me, you owe yourself, you even owe my mother
You owe me, but you also owe yourself and my mother for taking advantage of my generosity.

It's been a minute, I want my stack with interest
It's been a while since you owed me, and I want my money back plus interest.

And if you come with that you talkin' you gon' need a dentist
If you try to argue with me, you might end up with a broken jaw.

(Yes!) Money never grow on trees so you disrespectin'
Money is hard to come by, so by not paying me back, you're being disrespectful.

Fuck a Smith & Wesson I'ma order you that chopper special
I don't need a handgun; I'll take it up a notch and get a machine gun to deal with you.

They say you shuckin' and jivin' from me you duckin' and hidin'
I've heard you're avoiding me, possibly by hiding or being evasive.

Let's see you duck and hide from these bullets when I fly 'em
You won't be able to avoid me when I start shooting at you.

It's been a weak nigga takin my kindness for weakness
You're taking advantage of my generosity and mistaking it for weakness.

'Til I cock back and squeeze this and I leave yo' ass bleedin'
I won't let you get away with it; I'll use force and violence to get what I want.

Period! Now niggaz wanna act so delirious
There's no debate about it; I'm going to take forceful action to get my money back.

When I ask for my paper 'til I do somethin' so serious
I'm going to keep asking for my money until you take me seriously and pay up.

like bust a head, break a neck, you lettin' in some dookie
I'm putting pressure on you to pay back your debt, or there will be violent repercussions.

My advice just pay up, nigga you owe like Pookie
My suggestion is to pay me back, or else face the same fate as the character Pookie from 'New Jack City.'

You owe like, Pookie
You owe me a significant amount of money, like the character Pookie from 'New Jack City.'

Yes you do, you owe like Pookie
It's true, you owe me a lot of money like the character Pookie did in 'New Jack City.'

Yes it's true, kiss all that booty
You're in debt to so many people, you should start asking for forgiveness.
