Hiccup
Tech N9ne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a stick up 'cause you had a hiccup
Men busted in and beat you
'Cause you beat your bitch up
Ripping your lip up
Didn't get to go load the clip up
They took out your grip
And dipped and took all of your liquor
You got a problem, yeah, don't we all
Built that up, sometimes they fall
Some wanna run before they learn to crawl
All fucked up, can't stand at all

You love your lady, you're loyal from the start
Ain't nothing never gonna tear you loving apart
But you ain't knowing another stealing her heart
Walked in your home and the niggas making her spark
You're kidnapping the women having your way
Threaten to kill 'em all if they don't wanna stay
Got off of work and you thinking you about to play
And Charles Ramsey came and ruined your day
The way you act is a damn give away
Sad sucker, crazy motherfucker
Just when you get to thinking nobody can touch you
Here come a hiccup in your plan coming to buss' you
The man who ran right into my hand to crush you

You got a problem, yeah, don't we all
Built that up, sometimes they fall
Some wanna run before they learn to crawl
All fucked up, can't stand at all
You got a problem, yeah, don't we all
Built that up, sometimes they fall
Some wanna run before they learn to crawl
All fucked up, can't stand at all

You twitter beefing you rapping thinking you hard
And everybody on the planet know you a star
You get a show and the company fly you far
And the promoters the beef you gotta char
You was a priest that gave the little ones tears
Pedophile, become cardinal in a year
Finally jail, forever you live in fear
The pussy riot play heavily in your ear
The pussy riot play heavily in your ear
The pussy riot play heavily in your ear
The pussy riot play heavily in your ear
The pussy riot play heavily in your ear
You never be in the clear get a letter D in your rear
Serves you right to nerve to fight
Make them little church boy prayers be heard tonight
So hiccup, hiccup, eat a dick up, quick up
In a sticky situation get you trip up
Nothing but a demon, you can be that flashy 'cause you balling now
Long as you realizing it can all come falling down

You got a problem, yeah, don't we all
Built that up, sometimes they fall
Some wanna run before they learn to crawl
All fucked up, can't stand at all
You got a problem, yeah, don't we all
Built that up, sometimes they fall




Some wanna run before they learn to crawl
All fucked up, can't stand at all

Overall Meaning

The song "Hiccup" by Tech N9ne is a cautionary tale about the consequences of bad behavior. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's downfall, starting with a stick-up by men who beat him because he beat up his girlfriend. The violence escalates as he kidnaps and threatens women, eventually leading to a prison sentence and the realization that his actions have come back to haunt him.


The chorus emphasizes that everyone has problems, but it's important to face them and not try to run away from them. The song speaks to the consequences of not addressing personal issues, whether it's domestic violence, criminal activity, or substance abuse. The "hiccup" in the title refers to the unexpected obstacles that can derail even the most well-laid plans.


The use of the term "pussy riot" in the middle of the song is a reference to the Russian feminist punk rock band of the same name. The band gained international attention for their protests against the Russian government, and several members were arrested and jailed. This reference is likely meant to reinforce the idea that bad behavior has consequences and can lead to incarceration.


Overall, "Hiccup" delivers a powerful message about the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and facing personal problems head-on.
