[Tech N9ne, Ryan Bradley - Burn It Down lyrics]
(Down, Down)
(Down, Down)
Burn it down (Down) , down, down, down
(Down) down, down, down, down
Burn it down (Down) , down, down, down
(Down) down, down, down, down
You build me up, you build me up
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
Is this the place, I used to love?
Can't take no more, I've had enough
So burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
They lift you up and preach you
Then try to pull you down and beat you
They're no longer peaceful
Never knew a buddy would become see-through
Make it up so high, they can't reach you
They just feel the wind beneath you
Camaraderie's a plumb oddity
With some modesty people abolish he
Who lovin' me never idolatry wanted
But they wanna demolish me, question mark
When they know I'm blessed at heart
Try to test Tech when I poke
At they chest and bark
Givin' my blood, sweat
Tears and flesh in art
But they come in my circle and make a mess
Then dart
I feel like they wishin' for me to be dissin'
So they can be quick and then witness me
(falling down)
Gotta know that'll never happen
Forever rappin'
So burning it down is the mission
Dismissin' got a brand new condition, I'm
(balling now)
Kill 'em in a really clever fashion
You build me up, you build me up
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
Is this the place, I used to love?
Can't take no more, I've had enough
So burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Why would a good businessman sign a artist
And he really believes he rhymes the hardest
Spend a lot of money and
Time just to start it
And you think he don't want you
To make it sounds ret
Uh, Trav ain't the target, I ain't the puppet
If you got negativity boy, you better tuck it
Givin' everything and they trippin'
I had enough
It took me a while for this menace and now
Fuck it give 'em a record deal, plus the CDs
Take 'em all on tour to give 'em the ups
Put 'em on my record
I do my verse and then I send it to
Them so I can give 'em the ups
In the long run, they ain't givin' a fuck
Said I ain't takin' care of my day ones
If I wasn't, they wouldn't wait to spray guns
Makin' the people think I'm
Wrong is way dumb, nigga
Now I'm tired, hearing my empire's
(falling down)
But, it's really the opposite
And I've gotta clear
So many more Os, fake family, fake friends
And foes (crawling now)
But Tech N9na's outta here
You build me up, you build me up
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
Is this the place, I used to love?
Can't take no more, I've had enough
So burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
It's the reason
Me and Trav never had to say
"We're sorry" in this business
'Cause we believe if you stay righteous
You'll receive all your blessings
(Down, Down)
Burn it down (Down) , down, down, down
(Down) down, down, down, down
Burn it down (Down) , down, down, down
(Down) down, down, down, down
You build me up, you build me up
To watch me fall, and turn to dust
Is this the place, I used to love?
Can't take no more, I've had enough
So burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Burn it down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
They lift you up and preach you
Then try to pull you down and beat you
They're no longer peaceful
Never knew a buddy would become see-through
