Tech N9ne - The Industry Is Punks lyrics

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'?

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

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 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

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 do
When 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 the feelin'
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 guys 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 fouls
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
PD'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!

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 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

How many 2Pac's and Jay-Z's and
Master P's 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 gangbang 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 Killa"
"Einstein", "Niggas" after mill still-a
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 Technico get peo-ple involved
From KC to Mex-i-co
Strapped with that fat Desert Eagle
Run up on the industry and let the heat go!

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 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

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
So 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 opin-ions
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!

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 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 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 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

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'? Tech N9ne
