Fragile
Tech 9 Lyrics

You said you'd never ever break, down
You promised you were strong and wouldn't crumble, but here you are falling apart

But here I am sweeping, pieces off of the ground
I'm left with the task of picking up your broken pieces

You said you'd never, ever play, to crowds
You claimed you didn't care about fame, but now you seek the attention of a crowd

But I've seen you hoping to play songs to them now
Now you aspire to perform your music to an audience

I've spent all night long scared of tomorrow, broke my alarm
I couldn't sleep, fearing the uncertainty of the future, and ended up oversleeping

Everything's almost lost, pick it up slow, before it's gone
Everything is on the brink of falling apart, so I need to cautiously salvage what I can before it slips away

Some of the people appointed to give an opinion Never do get it I want you to come on and gobble a jimmy and... die N9na be giving the remedy and why? Critics are really the enemy and I Can't stand the way they slam today's gifted Effin' incredible, get fanned away with grands to pay This jam will lay scripted Deaf and impeccable Write a rhyme and I put everything in a flow I'm the N9ne I'm a look very mean When a foe scribe a line but he has never been at a show By the times it'll be better, leave it in the sto' 'Cause they wrote nothin' but lies, quotes stuck in my eyes Amateur writer dissin' He's a beginner and hopes for your demise, folks some may despise Never do try to listen It's real, I'm mad Clueless when you scribble on your pad How you gonna criticize with a chisel on your nads sizzling your ad You don't really get why I'm so pissed? Understand this (Understand this) I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit, yes I'm
Critics don't understand my work and their negative reviews are hurtful. They are inexperienced and clueless about my art. How can they criticize me with such lack of knowledge? I'm upset because I put my heart and soul into my art, and I'm sensitive about it.

Tell me that I'm famous Tell me that my name is Big as Venus Jupiter and then Uranus Tell me that your anus got your head in it I can smell the articles and know you're heinous Tell me that you love me, always thinkin' of me Unconditional, I'm hoping I'm your favourite Grab a fishing pole and throw me with the sharks That's the feelin' I get when you're concentratin'
You shower me with compliments and admiration, but I can tell it's insincere. You want something from me, and it feels like you're throwing me into danger when you focus on me too much.

On this pen, on this pad Tell me you're willin' to diss on my craft Tell me the feelin' of pickin' apart this track Stop Puttin' my heart and my soul in these lines Tellin' me platinum and gold all the time Lookin' to bury, a deep hole for mine Drop
I pour my heart and soul into my art, and it hurts when you criticize it. I refuse to let your negativity consume me or minimize my talent.

This is more than you, and this is more than you And your entire building slanderin' and abusin' What I call the realest comin' from a student Told myself to use a poem as an UZI Empty magazine, I seen a magazine You seen my trigger finger, then I started shootin' That was nicotine, I'm 'bout to smoke 'em all And journalists involved should've known my music
My art is powerful and important, and I won't let anyone diminish it. I see through the fake praise and criticism, and I'll defend myself and my work. My art is my weapon, and I'm ready to confront anyone who tries to silence me.

We're fragile (Wish I'd have known) I never thought I'd be so fragile (You're not alone) If it didn't break before it's about to (We've been here before) I don't ever want to change I'm fragile I don't ever
We're all human and vulnerable, and sometimes we break apart. I never realized how fragile I was until now, but I'm not alone in this feeling. However, I don't want to change who I am, even if being fragile is scary.
