"Techs" lyrics

"Techs"

Tech tucked pon the waist
Machete on me just in case
Protect the youth dem that I raise
And if me haffi shoot, let it sing

Run in the house and I take all the seats
Sit on the senate, my negus gon eat
Verduras y frutas, my negus got shootas
On shootas that shoot if you fucking with me
Colonialism, pull up to the prison
To free all my negus you coming with me
Tomisin Tubman just follow my lead
Yung Salako, I be keeping the peace
But fuck with my nieces I'll shoot at your knees
Begging to die but it ain't up to me
Pleading and pleading so please do not push me
I'm pussy so ain't nothing stronger than me
Heard they writing a song about me
I just be taking my Vitamin D
I can't help that I have some dominant genes
Don't claim that woke, but you falling asleep

Tech tucked pon the waist
Machete on me just in case
Protect the youth dem that I raise
And if me haffi shoot, let it sing

Tech tucked pon the waist
Machete on me just in case
Protect the youth dem that I raise
And if me haffi shoot, let it sing

In willyburg and I'm rushing ya stones
I'm crackin' ya cards and taking ya loans (gimme that shit)
Taking back Brooklyn then pass to my children
My daddy from Bushwick the 60's some hood shit
My people was looting cuz police was shooting
But I know some shootas from Sirius, Pluto
Wakanda and Houston them negus is ruthless
No dis ain't no new shit
Esu in da back and Ogun in the front
Pray and I tell my goons do what they want
I do not comply and I do not give up
I don't give a fuck when it come to my blood

Feeling like my name is Yung Assata
Bop at the bembe when I'm in Mantanzas
Back to my mama, the cribbo in Ghana
Land off the ship no boo this ain't a choppa

Laiye laiye, ara oko so ile Ogun, laiye laiye
Laiye laiye, ara oko so ile Ogun, laiye laiye

Tech tucked pon the waist
Machete on me just in case
Protect the youth dem that I raise
And if me haffi shoot, let it sing

Tech tucked pon the waist
Machete on me just in case
Protect the youth dem that I raise
And if me haffi shoot, let it sing
