TEC - The Noise lyrics

And it's so many people rapping right now
I love it, I love, I love, it's just a lot
Though it's, it is literally like too much
You know? It's a lot to take in every day
Everybody sayin' the same shit
In like different ways, you know?
These are just my opinions
I'm not knockin' nobody's dream
I just don't want the culture to get diluted
Where it gets so mass produced
It doesn't mean anything

All these rappers sound like the same
Nigga so I came different
When I spit, I put my pain in it
Be off the brain with it
But it makes sense every time
Whenever I go in the booth, I
Drop a hit every time, drop a hit every time
God blessed me with this talent, so
This lil' light on mine, i'ma let it shine


Fuck a deal, give a damn if I ever sign
I'm just tellin' my story
It's crazy they ignored me when
I been goin' hard
Anyone could record, I'm not one of them boys
Say I refuse to add more to the noise
I'm not just any artist
And we refuse to add more to the noise
'Cause that's what they recording, yeah

Ayy, they done diluted hip-hop
Rap music really don't mean shit now
Everybody wan' record, make a hit now
They forgot about the Biggies and the 2Pac
Niggas who done got shot for hip-hop
Niggas who done died for the culture
(They was rap soldiers)
Now they got a bunch of cadets
Chains rapped around they neck colored hair
Want niggas to respect what they spittin'
I don't get this shit for a minute
I don't wanna indulge in it
But that's just my opinion
I'ma get to it like the old days
Like the P diddy back with the old Ma$e
And the no-shirt LL Cool J
But that was before the new rappers
(New shit)
What happened to Old Dirty Bastard?
(Old shit, These niggas clowns)

All these rappers sound like the same
Nigga so I came different
When I spit, I put my pain in it
Be off the brain with it
But it makes sense every time
Whenever I go in the booth, I
Drop a hit every time, drop a hit every time
God blessed me with this talent, so
This lil' light on mine, i'ma let it shine
Fuck a deal, give a damn if I ever sign
I'm just tellin' my story
It's crazy they ignored me when
I been goin' hard
Anyone could record, I'm not one of them boys
Say I refuse to add more to the noise
I'm not just any artist
And we refuse to add more to the noise
'Cause that's what they recording, yeah

I won't add to the noise, I refuse it
So that's what y'all really call music?
Bring 'em back to that '99 Juvie
Now they compare us to Webbie and Boosie
But we our own shit, and new shit
I don't condone it
These niggas cannot be opponents
This shit too easy
I remain hungry, I'ma keep eating, yeah
I feel like mixtape Weezy
I don't write shit, i don't read it
If I don't like it, I go back, delete it
If the shit raw, I tell EQ to keep it, yeah
Got it down to a science like it's chemistry
But labels, they don't call us
Blackball us out the industry
'Cause they know we in the streets
Put that on my block
Like 2Pac they gon' remember me
Lil Luwhop or call me TEC
But know regardless that I been one of
The hardest and I'm goin' out flawless
(Swear to God)

All these rappers sound like the same
Nigga so I came different
When I spit, I put my pain in it
Be off the brain with it
But it makes sense every time
Whenever I go in the booth, I
Drop a hit every time, drop a hit every time
God blessed me with this talent, so
This lil' light on mine, i'ma let it shine
Fuck a deal, give a damn if I ever sign
I'm just tellin' my story
It's crazy they ignored me when
I been goin' hard
Anyone could record, I'm not one of them boys
Say I refuse to add more to the noise
I'm not just any artist
And we refuse to add more to the noise
'Cause that's what they recording, yeah

To all of you dreamers
Out there, keep dreaming, man
But, but, you know, sometimes
You gotta wake up from a dream and go get it
You get out of it what you put into it
The game is so simple
Y'all just ain't listening
If you're chasing your dream, you're
Not running fast enough, run faster
You gotta work for greatness, man
You gotta work
You gotta work hard just to be good
Fuck being great
So imagine greatness, we going for greatness
I'm just tryna say, I guess, if you gon'
Be in this game, um, be great, man
Because you could also be part of the noise
