"The Industry Is Punks" lyrics
[Tech N9ne:]
The industry's a bunch of fuckin' punks!
Here's what they said:
Well, ya know Tech, your drum-n-bass might not go well with uh urban radio, ya know?
And, your orange hair, it's so not
Black, I mean ya know, you understand what I'm sayin'?
[Krizz Kaliko:]
F-U-C-K Y-O-U
F-U-C-K Y-O-U
F-U-C-K Y-O-U
F-U-C-K Y-O-U
[Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko (Krizz Kaliko):]
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
(Won't play...)
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
(Radio...)
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
(Won't play...)
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
(Radio...)
[Tech N9ne:]
Yo... yo... check... check
Don't nobody wanna deal with a nigga that got it together
For real, and even think his own thoughts
Everybody wanna do what everybody else doing
The "copycat" is what they been taught
I'ma get in the brain of the lame
I contain pain, and I'ma give it to the rap game
The way you're doin' it, the way you're pursuin' it
You're gonna ruin it Villain, it's a goddamn shame
Are you ready for the real? Here we go now
Most on the radio can't flow now
Everyday I gotta cut the radio down
Sound like another Pac or an O-Town
We can't have a contest or a showdown
With two cats got the same kinda flow sound
Tecca Nina; I'm comin' to put the mo' down
Run up in the record label wit' a four pound
Am I too versatile? Cursed to drown in the bowels of the Earth
When I'll be first to growl, and burst out the vowels
Of the original murderous verse out the mouth
Big Tech N9ne's gonna be the one runnin' the race
That's real, I'm speakin' to everyone in the place
I can deal what ya don't like; the drum and the bass
If you can deal with a motherfuckin' gun in your face
I can't get wit' it
Record labels in the industry are sick wit' it
P.D.'s that really don't know a hit for shit
Kick the bitch - if you diss my hit, you might get pistol-whipped
Catch him in the hall - hit 'em in the jaw
Give it to the fans, they can get it all
'Cause the industry is punks! - check I'm ready to get crunk
I'm comin' to straight dump with a pump!
[Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko (Krizz Kaliko):]
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
(Won't play...)
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
(Radio...)
They won't play me on - radio, 'cause they be on
(Won't play...)
Punk shit daily y'all - industry's a shady one
(Radio...)
[Tech N9ne:]
How many 2Pacs and Jay-Zs and Master Ps can they conceive?
Don't they know a few Glocks, 380s, and Master Keys'll make 'em bleed?
How you gonna say
Black people won't listen to this and don't listen to that?
Like sayin' a fool can slang 'caine
A fool can gang-bang but never will get hit with a gat?
You better - get your story straight
'Cause I ain't no devil for real - I'm a rebel for real
That Tech N9ne is on some other level for real
You a pebble to real niggas - songs like "Psycho Bitch" and "Real Killer"
"Einstein", nigga, that's a mill-stealer
The idiots say black folks won't feel us
What you think we dumb?
Do we all gotta run when the heat come?
Showin' original tongue, it'll be fun
Put the motherfuckers with the bums and the weak ones
Suge Knight punked the industry quick
That's because most the industry's bitch!
Nigga I'm a man, I don't be runnin' from nobody
We deal with the niggas who trippin' and givin' us shit
Radio won't play the unk fay
Thought they wanted rap to advance but they ont day
When I die I'ma aunt hay
Every industry faggot who givin money to a unk pay
Tech and Tekneko get people involved from K.C. to Mexico
Strapped with that fat Desert Eagle
Run up on the industry and let the heat go!
[Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko (Krizz Kaliko):]

[Tech N9ne:]
You can look into my E-Y-E's and you can see why these
Motherfuckers don't wanna see my steez
'Cause I'm a killa with lyricals comin' down like miracles and
I come from a kingdom of humble drums and hums become rumbles
I'm the one that begun the gun tongue
Get sprung, now everyone comin' in bundles
Act like a bitch; treated like a bitch
Act like a chump; treated like a chump
When the funk jump - what ya gonna want?
Ain't gon' want nothin' - industry punk
You can run but you can't hide from the riot
You can say that it's dope but I won't buy it
You can think Tech N9ne really won't fly
But I got a killa ear and a killa eye
Def Jam take chances; in my opinions
They give advances; to the niggas that's really on
Universal, Loud, LaFace - that's some of my favorites
But the ones who call the shots; most of 'em on some heinous shit
That other shit; call your mother, sis, or ya brother bitch
Not no lover licks, packin' black and fat, blubber shit
Yeah the radio dead! - 'cause the industry is punks! (punks!)
Put the double-barrel to his forehead!

[Tech N9ne:]
Now that's Absolute Power, bitch, that's real shit
We ain't kissing no motherfuckin' ass to be accepted
Open your mind motherfuckers
Hear some new shit, you know what I'm sizzlin'?
