Tech N9ne Lyrics

A young lady was talking to me the other day
I had a conversation with a young woman recently

Ask me if I heard a new song called B.o.b. ( Battery Operated Boyfriend),
She asked if I was familiar with a song called B.o.b.

And when I think about it from as far back as I can think,
Reflecting on my thoughts and memories

Almost every woman I can remember had one,
Almost every woman I recall owning one

But I ain't the kinda nigga that just take that lightly like oh that's nothing,
But I don't dismiss it easily or consider it insignificant

That's normal for a woman to have a dildo,
It is considered ordinary for women to possess a sex toy

My mind goes to why do they need it, cause we absent,
I wonder why they feel the need for it, possibly due to our absence

Then I ask myself why are we absent,
I question why we are not present

Then I think about us Being takin into slavery where learning to read was forbidden,
I contemplate our history of being enslaved and how education was prohibited

Can't read won't have a proper education, no proper education,
Without the ability to read, it becomes impossible to receive a proper education

Can't get a proper job, don't have a proper job,
Without suitable qualifications, it becomes challenging to acquire and maintain a decent job

Don't have money to live and eat,
Without financial resources, it becomes difficult to sustain oneself

Gotta eat to live so you do the only other thing you know
To survive, you resort to the only alternative you are familiar with

That'll definitely put food on the table,
Engaging in activities that will undoubtedly provide sustenance

Hustle dope on the streets, Hustle dope,
Engage in illicit drug trade on the streets

Might have to kill another nigga,
There is a possibility of resorting to murder

Kill somebody go to the Feds, go to the Feds for ever ever ever, get to sleeping with them boys, do that might contract aids, get out give that to your woman, she give it to the next nigga, you and that nigga start funkin, one of the niggas kill the other, then it's the same cycle all over again, we absent, dead or in jail, no I ain't that kinda nigga
If you kill someone, you end up in prison, potentially contracting HIV, passing it to your partner, spreading it to more people, leading to conflicts and more killings, creating a never-ending cycle of absent fathers, death, or incarceration. However, I refuse to participate in such actions.

I am not the cryin' bitch
I am not someone who complains easily

I get up out to try and grit
I strive to push through and persevere

Put my vocal tape I sell it then ima get to buyin' shit
I make money by selling my music and use that money to purchase things

Made it up out the lions pit
I managed to escape a dangerous situation

No fuckin' denying this is
There is no denying the truth of this

Some high n mighty spit
My lyrics and flow are impressive and powerful

I'm rhymin' in the year the Mayans writ
I am creating music in the present time, as foretold by the Mayans

Destruction, introductions to new Front men
There is chaos and the emergence of new influential figures

Working for the government
These figures are associated with government or authority

Snups and lust they trust in
They rely on manipulation and desire for power

I was in the golf when U.S
I was present during the time the U.S. was at war

Had a bust reduction
There was a decrease in military expenditure

But for the soldiers stuffed
However, the soldiers were left stranded

In dust we gotta turn up the cups then
In difficult times, we have to rely on our unity and support

And party with they families
We celebrate and spend time with our loved ones

We kickin' it to anarchy
We are living in a chaotic and disorderly society

We granted these insanities
We have allowed these irrational behaviors

The kid would get humanity
The younger generation should receive compassion and understanding

Vanishing is who standing in vanity
Those caught up in their own arrogance are disappearing

Damn it B L double-O D you scammed that T
Damn, B L double-O D (blood), you deceived that time

You die under canopy
You meet your end under the influence of drugs

I don't trip off with another nigga do
I am not bothered by what other people do

And I don't lip off to another niggas crew
I do not engage in disrespectful talk towards another person's group

If I ain't got a trigger to
If I don't have a gun to

I'm tryin' to live a few
I'm trying to have a good life

They say do yo thing you different kinda nigga you
People recognize and appreciate my unique and unconventional nature

Close to my ragin'
Close to my anger

Far from a jiggaboo
I am far from conforming to negative stereotypes

Over came the shit that they be giving you
I overcame the challenges and negativity they threw at me

Do your thing you different kinda nigga you
Continue doing your own thing, you're a unique individual

I'm a different
I am distinct and different

B R double-E D
Blooded, spelled using the letters B, R, double-E, D

And I live it
I fully embody it

See the people lovin' on me
Witnessing people showing me love and support

And I give it
I reciprocate that love

My heart away including the arteries
I give my heart and everything, even the essentials of life

I don't be hollow boy like me if you ain't want a soluble
I advise against being empty and shallow like me if you don't desire solubility

I dues it
I pay my dues

How you gonna change the game
How can you revolutionize the industry

If you ain't got game changin' music
If you don't possess groundbreaking music

And I lose it
I become furious

Whenever niggas ain't the same
Whenever others aren't genuine

And they plain Jane and April fools it
When they are ordinary and deceive like April fools

I beastly slipped and like my sides is greasy
I made an error and slipped up, feeling slick-like

Till the industry on the eyes I ain't so easy
Until the music industry realizes I'm not easily fooled

Lookin' at me like a leopard
Staring at me with a cautious and suspicious gaze

Now they lovin' the keffer
Now they are loving my uniqueness and originality

Lookin' like I'll never make it
Appearing as though I will never succeed

Lookin' like salt and pepper
Appearing contrasting and diverse

While my musics so Sebastian Bach
My music is as impressive as the work of Sebastian Bach

When the world ain't thinking like I'm thinking
When the world doesn't share my mindset

Better dummy it up but the cash is stopped
It would be wiser to play dumb, but money flow has ceased

I gotta smash it a Asher Roth that'll shake the spot
I need to deliver an impact similar to what Asher Roth achieved

And so he has so much time in his song and that gots to say a lot
He dedicates a considerable amount of time in his songs, which speaks volumes

Tryin' to get paper fore the paper stop, I'll make a plot
Attempting to accumulate wealth before the opportunities disappear, I will strategize

To make my bank account look like Vegas minus the beggin' twat
To make my bank account resemble Las Vegas without needing to beg for money

It's effortless for me to pepper it, with cleverness
Adding cleverness to my lyrics comes naturally to me

But they just gimme a glimpse of the pimps whos they be steppin' in
However, they only give me a brief insight into the influential figures they associate with

Got em guessing what I'm finna (do)
I keep them guessing about my future actions

Never change my lyrics (to)
I refuse to alter my lyrics

Be jeffin with you jigga (boo)
To be fooling around with you, my friend

Different kinda nigga (you)
I am an unconventional individual, just like you
