[Tech N9ne]

To whom it may concern...
3
[Chorus]
4
Why you ain't call me?
5
You know I'm the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
6
Why you ain't call me?
7
I'm not broken-hearted, but I couldv'e been old when I started
8
Why you ain't call me?
9
You know I'm the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
10
Why you ain't call me?
11
You sleep on my music and that's a damn shame 'cause I slam my bang
12
[Verse 1]
13
I've been inside every hip-hop circle you could imagine
14
Gangster or Pop, even backpackers know that I'm real good at rappin'
15
I was strugglin' back in the day when my hood was lackin'
16
yo so I'm 'bout to talk about what shoulda, woulda and coulda happened
17
If music was about inovatin' and penetratin' generations by generatin' musical intergration
18
It wouldn't be about limitation and demonstration
19
imitation within a blatant looks just disentigratin'
20
It ain't about the music, it's just about the fame
21
If you ain't popular homie, then you just out the game
22
If video and radio don't frequently announce your name
23
They don't know your music even though you blow most out the frame
24
But a closed mouth don't get fed when it stays shut
25
Lay cuts with Tecca Nina 'cause he can straight bust
26
Say what? You ain't heard of me gettin' paid bucks?
27
Torrent y'all see me rippin' the stage up
28
[Chorus]
29
[Verse 2]
30
I've been on tour with Hov, 'bout 27 shows
31
Why he ain't have me on a record only heaven knows
32
Maybe he missed us, missin' the big picture
33
that this is a fixture, aw yeah, he got Twista!
34
Well Twista's my homie and we both from the Midwest
35
and I guess Hov ain't lookin' for another speedy rapper kid yet
36
Me collaboratin' with them was all in me dreams
37
Matter fact the only one of 'em called me was Beens
38
He told me he played you The Industry Is Punks
39
and you loved it so you know Tech is what the industry would want
40
I started down at the bottom, got with TOG and then it payed
41
but I wouldv'e loved to been on the third verse of Renegade
42
They must think I'm a stick of dynamite with no stem
43
That's probably why I got D12 but no Em!
44
But I burst flame and I bet that y'all know my first name
45
'cause I'm the hardest this side of Earth mane
46
[Chorus]
47
[Verse 3]
48
This ain't no hate-mail, this a love letter
49
I love you niggas' music and I hope is does better
50
I just wish you woulda hit a brother that love cheddar
51
but I'm ballin' now and I'm better than I was EVER
52
Space age flows like Jesse and Primrose
53
Tin-fold, I used to open-up, now I end shows
54
Grim road, when you one of the best with slim dough
55
and you ain't got Dre, Storch, Pharrell and no Timbo
56
I've met almost half of the DTP
57
but the couple times I spoke to Luda, don't think he see me
58
Had never met I-20 but he spoke at BET
59
Shawnna love me, Field Mob and Chingy decently speak me
60
So I'ma re-inaurate the game, it's all fame
61
and you don't get no play if you an emcee with a small name
62
If I wanna get on TV I guess I gotta call Pain
63
and Nelly, my great-grandmother's name is Maud Haynes
64
[Hook]
65
Maybe I'm trippin', full of delusion
66
Maybe it come from all the drugs I was usin'
67
Maybe I am the best thing that you ever saw
68
Maybe I'm wrong and you don't know me at all
69
I guess I'm blinded, I got reminded
70
that none of you just will ever know who the N9ne is
71
and you never heard of the homie from the Show-me
72
PUNK THAT! I know you niggas know me
73
[Chorus x2]
