Crybaby Tech N9ne

[Intro]
Yo Tech, what's your feelings on the state of hip hop?
And is hop hop still alive or dead?
I mean, I love the state of hip hop right now, you know what I'm sayin'
I love it and I think hip hop is very alive, you know what I'm sizzlin'
Whenever you got brothers and sisters, you know I'm sayin
Comin' up out of poverty, you know what I'm sizzlin'
Doing something positive like music, you know what I'm sizzlin'
And making money I mean you know what I'm sayin'
I mean where is the motherfuckin' death in that?

[Verse 1]
I was born in 71' in Kansas City, MO
My mama was a heavenly one, so the fam was pretty slow
When it came to rap and R&B and plenty more
Check it, if it wasn't no gospel, apostle
Or written in the Bible, then it go
So when they tell the baby don't do something
Then it end up doing it anyway
Like, don't listen to rap, it's the evil music of today
But, I really fell in love with the sound
That was coming out from the East Coast
So we got it and twisted it up a bit
Now the industry's having a heatstroke
Some say that rap is dead
But when I get the white, black and red
And jump on the tour bus, do 58 shows
Then I'm back with a big black sack of bread
Can't believe that that was said, 'cause I'm here with a stack of fed
And I got it from rap/hip-hop or whatever and I did not have to beg
So, here I stand, the mic in hand with my rap attire
And I like my fans spending grands 'cause we got the fire
I merchandise like 5 G's every half an hour
And you cry like a baby so your mic must be your pacifier
