Salute
Tech N9ne feat. Krizz Kaliko & Big Scoob Lyrics

I don't give a fuck who it is
I do not care who it is

Anybody can get (anybody, absolutely)
Anyone can be a target (literally, anyone)

Ya already know what it is
You already understand the situation

So don't ask
So do not ask unnecessary questions

You wake up to find no cereal inside of your box
When you confront a problem first thing in the morning

You got a problem, them Strange rhymers out on your block
You are threatened by Strange Music artists on your block

So good morning, get it in like it's 30 below
So 'good morning' and give it your all as if the weather was 30 degrees below zero

Another ¡MURSDAY! is here to come and dirty your soul
Another day with Murs on a Thursday has arrived to make you feel filthy/guilty

You see the haters get the genitals
The haters are getting what they deserve

Back up off the minerals
Stop trying to steal or take away from others

Rolling with the general and high off that medical
Hanging out with the leader/high on medical marijuana

Rolling all around the world and still rocking a flip phone
Traveling all over the world with an old/simple flip phone

Hip hop to the death, two-stepping in every zip code
Dancing to hip hop until death; dancing in every area code

Pull up in the lot without my [??]
Arrive in the parking lot without something (unspecified)

Bitch we on the clock and this is all official business
We are working and this is serious business

I been on the radio and shit has got ridiculous
I have been on the radio and things have become absurd

Got me in the mood to cause some motherfucking mischief
I am inspired to engage in some serious mischief

Override the system, drugs with some sick kids
Ignore the system (authority), give drugs to sick kids

You know what we on, we tryna make the fucking hit list
You know what we are up to, we are trying to get to the top

Write a couple songs and live forever in your pictures
Create a few songs and be remembered for an eternity

Pick another fight before the kick us out the exit
Start another argument before we are kicked out

Walk up in the party with our guns drawn
Enter the party with weapons already in hand

Might just leave a body on your front lawn
We may commit a murder on your lawn

I don't give a fuck if they say we wrong
I do not care if they say we are in the wrong

You better keep your hands up when they play this song
You should keep your hands raised when this song is playing

And keep your hands in the air
Keep your hands raised

If you know the government don't care
If you know the government is apathetic

If you got on $5 underwear
If you wear cheap underwear

But you're feeling like a fucking millionaire
Despite that, you feel wealthy

And can I get a hell yea?
Can I get a loud 'yes'?

Do It Big, Keep It Strange, don't care
Live big, Stay different, do not mind others

Keep your eyes on the prize, don't share
Focus on winning, do not let others take credit

Cuz we bout to take the crown this year
Because this year we are going to dominate everything

Second batter up, I never had a fuck
The second speaker (lyricist) is up and he has never cared

To give, if I did, shit, you was out of luck
To give anything; if I did, you would be out of luck

I'm laser focused with mine like Scott Summers is
I am focused like a laser like Scott Summers (Cyclops from X-Men)

The Cyclops, X-Men, for you dumber kids
Cyclops from X-Men for those who are not aware

I read them funny books, they got the pictures in them
I read comic books with pictures in them

Still pull the thickest chick in the sickest denim
Still attract the most attractive women in the most stylish denim

Then I spit this venom, like Eddie Brock does
After that, I speak aggressively, like Eddie Brock from Spiderman

Had the crowd raising eyebrows like The Rock does
Made the audience raise their eyebrows like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Blood, Cuhs, it's all in the same gang
Familial terms like 'Blood' and 'Cuz' are used, meaning everyone is in the same group/association

Just brothers in different colors, we need to change things
We are all brothers despite our skin color differences; things need to change

And this is Strange gang, talking 'bout my chain again
This is the Strange gang referring to my chain again

Mine's fine, I got it shined by my Asian friend
It is shining; my Asian friend helped me make it shiny

At the swap meet in the wrong hood
At the swap meet in an undesirable neighborhood

I'm the bad member but still make the song good
I am the troubled member but I still make the song great

Good enough they had to sign me, better ask Trav
My skill was so good that they had to sign me; Travis O'Guin can confirm this

I'm fucking with these strong genetics like I'm in the lab
I am experimenting with these strong genes as if I am in the lab

Gun is out, everybody running out
A gun is out, and everybody is fleeing the scene

Hearing people scream and shout ("OH MY GOD HE'S GOT A GUN!!")
Listening to people screaming and shouting due to the danger

'Cause they run their mouth,
Because they talk too much

they throwing this tongue about like having some candy clout (It's negros, we better run)
They are acting as if they have more influence than they actually do (racial overtones)

He'on't want (he'ont want it)
He does not want it

He'on't need it (he'on't need it)
He does not need it

If they try to put a case on this, we gon' beat it (we gon' beat it)
If officials attempt to press charges on us, we will defend ourselves

Interrupted a groovy movie, so we said fuck it left it and ate at Ruby Tuesday's
Caused a disturbance during a movie, said forget it and ate elsewhere at a restaurant called Ruby Tuesday's

Snotty white waitress said sorry, I'm so blunt
Impolite white waitress said sorry in a rude manner

One of the homies singing YG's "Fuck Donald Trump"
One of the friends is singing "Fuck Donald Trump" by rapper YG

And she said "Fuck Obama"
The waitress said "Fuck Obama"

And we said "Fuck yo mama"
And we replied by saying "Fuck your mother"

And your granny too, 'cause we would never touch your nana, bitch
And your grandmother too, because we would never harm her

Manager say we gotta leave
The manager says we need to go

Not before I get a shot, I get it then I appease
I will not leave until I get what I want

And he said "No"
And the manager said, "No"

So I got somebody shot off the bar quick, lifted it up and said
So I quickly shot someone off of the bar, lifted the weapon, and said

"Here's to you sucking my dick"
"Cheers" to the idea of the manager performing fellatio on me (weapon assumed to be alcoholic beverage)
