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 with the fo' 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 winnin' 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!
