Lost in this sickness 'cause you bossed it and whipped it
You tossed and then split quick
Can get a lady really caustic and wicked
Real spill, leave 'em in the rear view
Never anywhere near you
They wanna really adhere to the negative
Really competitive and never near true
Up to date shit, face it, your replacements
Everything but basic laid tricks, flake and fake bitch
You can be so righteous
And totally cleansed from all your previous hoe vices
Until she gets friended and all your ex's throw ice picks
Oh Christ, it's no niceness
They gonna send her fake baby pictures in yo likeness

Yeah so many different flavors
So many different haters
They just after my paper
Bye bye see you later

So they cannot chase us

I Love this Song 😍💜

Isaiah Curry

Its 2018 and people are still complaining about autotune. Autotune does not make the music any less Tech N9ne. Its basically another instrument for the beat to add layers to the music. Tech knows what he is trying to accomplish when he is making his music, that's why we all love it so much. The man is simply diverse which adds even more to his appeal! Just enjoy the music guys, he will bring us the hard shit too.

Im_Blitz

Eion Hindsman-Curry I don’t tend to complain about the auto tuning. Personally, I will admit I don’t particularly LIKE the majority of his new songs. I liked his older style. I found myself enjoying every song on his albums from the late ‘90s all the way up until he dropped “Special Effects”, but that album started the process for me not really enjoying his music in mass. I only like a few songs in that album, a couple in “The Storm” and really only one or two singles in the past few years. He’s still my favorite rapper. He’s the only one I enjoy over 200 songs by(I shuffle 210 of his songs), but I don’t know...I guess I like his style more when he wasn’t trying to appeal to more people. He said before: “Tech will never go mainstream, mainstream will go Tech.” I guess at the end of the day, nobody makes music for free(at least not famous artists). I understand the changes & I respect him regardless, but there’s still a part of me that wishes he’d ease up on all the things he wasn’t about for the majority of his career. I guess what I’m saying is I miss the days when I could buy his whole album because I liked every single song on it, not like how it is today where I find myself surfing YouTube or Spotify for specific songs because I don’t like the majority of them.
