[Verse: Tech N9ne]
Yo
What up, sit up, get up wit us killas
Enough niggas to crush ya luck and bust ya guts and liver
Hit with the Ruger and now ya livin' off in the river
Watchin' this arsonist while a spark a bit
Of my heart and bark I'ma start the shit (Sir, please)
Welcome to the bottomless pit, animalistic
I know it's hella dark in it
My world (Sir), is not like a regular life
We tote big guns instead of a knife (Hey, you can’t say that in here)
Hella grim night, the devil is in flight
He said a Beretta will get us whatever is in sight
You got a job, I ain't got one
You've got wad, I gotta shotgun
You gotta guard, I got squad
You here to work and I'm here to rob!

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.
