[Bridge: Tech N9ne]
Are you ready for it?
We ready for it!

[Verse: Tech N9ne]
Most of my teachers didn't teach me shit!
Chiefin' in the locker room, fuck English Lit
Oh why, oh why, oh why I had to take wood shop?
Instead of speaking French, when I went there I could not!
A lot of truancy 'cause they couldn't influence me
To fluently spew it, the two couldn't do it congruently
So I learned culture, rock music, rockin'
While I rock up that Coka, Pac on my poster!
So now I'm part of it when I used to fear it
I learned a lot of shit but most would not clear it
Some were scared of me and would not come near this
People failed me but music lifts my spirit!

[Hook: Krizz Kaliko]
They writing on the walls, fighting in the halls
This education kicked me in my fucking balls
They fighting in the class, fighting in P.E
This education's un-educating me!
(You're in my head, you're mine till I'm dead)
I am my mother's child and I wish I knew what I know now
I am my teacher's favorite, I made it and I don't know how

[Outro: Tech N9ne]
First day is a bitch (first day is a bitch)
First day is a bitch (first day is a bitch)
Think I'm wanting to ditch (think I'm wanting to ditch)
'Cause you ain't teaching me shit ('cause you ain't teaching me shit)
I was bored with the classes they gave me
So I stole the books that I wanted
I taught myself to think different
Now I'm the number one independent rapper in the world
Tech N9ne (the chill factor)

Tech N9ne

Aaron Dontez Yates (born November 8, 1971), better known by his stage name Tech N9ne, is a chopper-style rapper from Kansas City, Missouri. He has been rapping since 1985 and during the ’90s, he was in the hip-hop group Nnutthowze.

In 2000, Tech N9ne, along with Travis O'Guin, founded Strange Music, Inc, the independent record label currently owned by Tech and co-owned by O'Guin. Strange Music currently has 12 artists on its roster.

In 2006, he independently released his album Everready (The Religion), and though his album just prior–Absolute Power– is his highest selling album to date ( 358,000 copies sold), Everready is considered by many to still be his best work.
