[Intro]
After your fear exodus, everything you do in this world ran by fearmongerers and their followers will seem extremely stupid

[Disclaimer: Tech N9ne (spoken backwards)]
Od ton kniht rof a dnoces taht siht si tcepsersid! Ta lla! Siht eceip thgir ereh si tahw uoy dluow llac a erem xelf!

[Intro: Tech N9ne]
Haven't you heard the whole lotta murda?
From all that I serve ya, giving ya words to wake and disturb ya
Yes I got the nerve to get 'em all perturbed, if they don't concur
But I know I deserve to spеak and reserve thе moniker refer to me as "The Herder"

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
The GOATed by the people when they hear Tech in his coldest
Switchin' wit' the gears get in this motive
To give him a severe flex and it's loaded
Wit' so many rhyme tricks (Chyeah)
Because of a N9ne spit (Chyeah)
I design the one of a kind shit (Chyeah)
Rhyme for rhyme I gun up, and I am quick
They find the shine when confronted wit' mine, bitch (Chyeah)
Even wit' a slow flow, I make folks go, like they breakin' stools
Blokes chose to play great and rule
'Cause those bros show I take 'em to
Another level and they would never settle for any old Joe to write blazin' jewels
So dope, it ain't a joke to herder, 'cause the GOATs know that I make 'em move

[Hook: Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko]
(Because) He knows that he got everything to serve ya
(He bust) Flow hella rough enough to push you further
(We must) Try and go for greatness get the words to
(Speak up) Make 'em say (Jesus) the herder
(Because) He knows that he got everything to serve ya
(He bust) Flow hella rough enough to push you further
(We must) Try and go for greatness get the words to
(Speak up) Make 'em say (Jesus) the herder

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
This is not a cap, they knowin' N9na packin' a shotta strap
When so many rappers kickin' a lotta crap
But when I'm up on it, they know they gotta rap (Chyeah)
'Cause they notice I flow sick
And knowin' the Tecca never unloaded the bogus
So they gotta come wit' some of the dopest aerobics (Chyeah)
'Cause I'm giving 'em what is cold as the COVID (Chyeah)
Imagine when I sent the "Fragile" to the K.Dot, his spray box is meant to rattle
When I stay droppin' a lot, he's in to dabble
MGK got my cray bop, then went to battle
Wit' the introduction that needs none, but he represent the D, son
From the Midwest, you know we come
Look at what he did when I sent him "Speedom" (Chyeah)

[Bridge: Tech N9ne]
So I'm not the one to rival
Look how I made T.I. go "On The Bible"
Pushed Joyner on "Sriracha" on the title
Try the herder and his GOATs is fuckin' homicidal

[Hook: Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko]
(Because) He knows that he got everything to serve ya
(He bust) Flow hella rough enough to push you further
(We must) Try and go for greatness get the words to
(Speak up) Make 'em say (Jesus) the herder
(Because) He knows that he got everything to serve ya
(He bust) Flow hella rough enough to push you further
(We must) Try and go for greatness get the words to
(Speak up) Make 'em say (Jesus) the herder

[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]
So many GOATs I've worked with that came with
Strange, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, 2 Chainz
But the number 8 Maggot truly was insane
Still there's a couple I did not rap with (Chyeah)
Maybe they don't really wanna pop that shit (Chyeah)
With a boss that spit, not that wick (Chyeah)
Wack MC's they get a guap stack with
All I'm tryna do is make some everlasting quality
Music for the people with the artists to acknowledge me
I don't mean to make you feel I'm askin' for idolatry
I can't help I looked within myself to find that god is me
Try and came and abolish me, but I make no apology (Chyeah)
I am the man for the title "The Herder", I'm the inspiration (Chyeah)
'Cause I am the one that send my shit to the GOATed for their motivation (Chyeah)
Not too many send me the ups, they gimme no billy but I give 'em the gruff
If you don't plan on contending, ya suck
With the fear of the herder for the winning, the fuck?

[Hook: Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko]
(Because) He knows that he got everything to serve ya
(He bust) Flow hella rough enough to push you further
(We must) Try and go for greatness get the words to
(Speak up) Make 'em say (Jesus) the herder

[Outro: Tech N9ne]
If you say you don't agree that I should hold this title
And when you received a Tech N9ne verse, it didn't wanna make you go harder
You're lying to yourself
