[Intro: Tech N9ne]
Tech N9ne, baby
Big Stone, baby
Fly Moves, baby
'Bout to do it like this, c'mon!

[Hook: Stevie Stone & Tech N9ne]
Midwest Midwest (Yesss!)
Head get ta bobbin' when you're rocking with the best (with the best)

Midwest explosion ('splosion) [x2]
Midwest explosion
Born in the middle where them haters can't hold 'em

[Verse 1: Stevie Stone]
Said I explode, I'm hungry, I'm on top
Get-them-a-little-quickness
When I'm ripping I'm giving the game [?]
Can-I-get-a-witness?

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
Tecca N9na the cleaner, bus' it like none other-can (cha!)

Salt and pepper beezys they see me and scream "what-a-man! "
Never love her but-I-cut her, she stutter like [?] (cha!)
Hang loose and gritted (cha!)
(Strange Music did it!) (cha!)
Bang through the shitted

Gangs swang to the critics (cha!)
Mayne when you get it
It's gone cause Ninna and Stone dun chained you and spit it
I'm nasty (cha!). Wacky, sex in the back of the tour bus
Saucy, bossy, ice and cognac in a [?] cup (cha!)
Bianc's on my back cause I'm stacking [?]
Juicy, won't open her mouth with me baby sure sucks! (cha! cha!)

Words can't describe how proud I am ( as a Missouri resident ) of rappers like you, Stevie and the rest of the Strange Music gang for keeping real rap alive and putting out great rap. I'm a metal head, but I come to Strange when I'm feeling something a little more fun lol. Keep up all of the hard work. Much love from Southwest Missouri! 🤘🖤

@DemitriNevo

I love all my dudes from the Midwest as a Midwesterner too it's great to see em out here getting it.

@krisjenks491

This song bounces no matter what system it's played on, that's just how Stevie Stone rolls

@melissacard4

How is Stevie stone not at the top of everything? He sounds like an OG!

@SilentJohn77

Saw Stevie at a Tech concert yesterday and Stone impressed, nailed his performance. And I was fortunate to meet him at a diner across the street where he was eating and he is a good guy. Stevie Stone jumped up my ranks!

@Snoopie916

Am I the only one who loves that in the last hook Brotha Lynch appears when Stevie says West and that after all the years and records he still supports the youngins in the game even if it means they get the spotlight then again I guess being a creator of an entire genre of rap music and an O.G not only in Sac-Town but in the whole West Coast and having pretty much a cult following means he wont be falling off anytime soon. Much love to Lynch keepin Siccmade and Garden Blocc all day

@lightwaves808

This tune still bangs as hard as the day you made it. I dig the video style. Also think the balance of chopping and course is well thought out. Much love

@desireebrumer8237

@MCRisextremelygood

Every Tech N9NE track is straight fire. The New Kid Comin kicks ass. STRANGE!

@Luggajo420
