Strange
9. Mad One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strange days have found us
(I been a nobody, but now I get it in)
Strange days have tracked us down
(Nowhere to run, what I did is keep it wicked real and never to pretend)
They're going to destroy
(Everything in my path I'mma gas, I'mma spit it to the end)
Our casual joys
(I'mma take away your everything, I'mma merk it a bit when I begin)
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town
Yeah!

In the beginning it was negative
Wasn't nobody checkin' or steppin' to this heavenly sick brethren, it's
Tech's veteran, better than clever man
You're gonna be off of your rocker when the chakra's on chopper, it's
Kinda funny having no money coming up
The number-one independent rapper, people running up
When the fact I'mma sum it up, way way back I was run amuck,
Now I'm beastin' the nation, cheese generatin'
Now everybody know where the flame spray, fame pays, maintains brain crazed
Leaving them all leaking in pain
Hey gang, wait
Get ready for Strange Days

Strange days have found us
(I been a nobody, but now I get it in)
Strange days have tracked us down
(Nowhere to run, what I did is keep it wicked real and never to pretend)
They're going to destroy
(Everything in my path I'mma gas, I'mma spit it to the end)
Our casual joys
(I'mma take away your everything, I'mma merk it a bit when I begin)
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town
Yeah!

I told them I was gonna ball for y'all
Did it all, they didn't wanna get involved at all, yeah
They said that I was gonna fall, but now I'm walking tall
They all saw wicked raw a stud yeah
Everybody will applaud the odd lyrical god
The fraud better kneel before Zod, yeah
Never ever will I dissolve, I'm a hog in the dark
So when they call, I'mma maul and claw, yeah
Wanna hate me, industry gotta face me
They be shaky, ladies say we may be the crazies
They hella Gacy, John Wayne the case be
The industry face off too sweet like pastry
Look at all these mentions
Look at all this uber attention
Remember everyone saying I wasn't gonna make it, but the Tecca Nina kept on inchin'
This ain't no dang phase
Never will my reign fade
On the come up and a one up
Man, it feels good to finally see Strange praised

Strange days have found us
(This is the trip)
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
(The best part I, really really like)
Bodies confused
(6, 7, Tech N9ne!)
Memories misused
(Fredwreck, Thank you brother!)




As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone
