Tech N9ne — Heightened

Tech N9ne — Heightened — lyrics

[Intro: News Report]
KC police are investigating a shooting that happened after two fights broke out as a club was closing
Police found more than 100 shell casings
And one man left with critical injuries
Yo, with the summertime heat fast approaching it usually means more gun violence
We gotta do better KC

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
This ain’t no joke
Better watch what you let come up outta ya throat
Man I’m telling you this ain’t no hoax
If you come for my city, you know play get you soaked
Then animosity if you too close
Talkin’ all that malarkey ’cause you with your folks
Never mind that it’ll still get you ghost
And everybody around you ‘causе you did the most
Get your body in the freezеr
Pray your head is straight arriba
Your man saw grandma
I ain’t talking about a seizure
In the city in this chief state
Everybody know how beef taste
Even vegans fear they meet fate
Change the street face like a deep fake
Keep talking you dig
We gonna get you fitted right in a coffin you bitch
You come and try to get money from a boss then you hid
Up under for the blunder will get you lost in the mid
Like you heard it before, courtesy more
Get it done and we don’t feel the pity
We be higher than godzilla’s tiddy
Act like you knowin’, this is killer city

[Intro]
To share certain stories with the world about things I’d usually hide
At first I was apprehensive, but I feel like I’m not the only one
To have this going on inside, so
Here it is, it’s called «Heightened»

[Verse]
Exterior I’m angel baby, ain’t no crazy
Everyone get along with me
And even the other gang don’t hate me
It may appear to you that I can’t go shady
And the fame sho’ made me a favorite hey there wasn’t internal tangled lately
It’s like this feeling that for so long I’ve been concealing
When wrong is done to me, the thoughts I have are quite chilling
Hunger within to incite killing
Evil comes then my soul is lost
Outside I’m smilin’, inside I’m bitin’ noses off
You’re dealing with imagination of the coldest frost
If I so get crossed in a hole it’s caught, and dismembered
If pricks hindered a quick tempered
Sick member, it enters in my sixth chak’, worse than Hitchcock
Thinking zip locked if this knots distraught
Demons lucky ’cause so far I’ve kept it contained
Not a soul has seen my inner wicked unchained
Decievers when losing their life to me is mundane
Out is bright, the sun came and it’s plum bane
Hard times ain’t no way to get softer tones
When the appointment is getting Tech doctored on
They said my health is headed when death knocks you’re gone
High cholesterol and real low testosterone!
Now I’m frightened
The self inflicted noose around my neck is tightened
The doctors told me not to worry be enlightened
An incision made up on my butt, they were slicin’ ten pellets now I’m heightened!
With this extra boost thinking I can’t let the juice
Bring what’s in me forward and let Lecter loose
So don’t step to uce with all except the truth
Your chickens next to roost and I be pressed to shoot off the handle
Stepping incorrectly to me now is such a gamble
Encephalon is now in shambles
Difficult trying to muffle an evil exposure
With people my only concern is keeping my composure
Good is in my soul, but I’m feeling no control
This energy within me multiplying tenfold
So don’t come disrespectful or you might just be the chose
By this walking ticking-time bomb come too close I might explode

[Outro]
Aaron! Aaron! Are you okay?
It just this blank stare at me the whole time
Oh, I’m sorry, I’m just a lucid daydreamer
Don’t get murdered, don’t get hurt
K.A.N.S.A.S. C.I.T.Y
You may die on my side
You gon’ die if they slide
I’m still crying
I’m still riding inside of this beat
I’m straight giant a monster
I became the beast that they made me
They pay me no one coulda saved me
I loaded that thang told it
Knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock tha- knock that noodle (WHAT)
Knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock tha- knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock tha- knock that noodle (WHAT)
Knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock, knock, knock

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
It’s so many cray spots we got
You may or may not see ops
Stay off these thots
Everything they say’s poppycock
Nay ahi box tryna come up on a lot free guap
What about them muggin’ over there
It don’t matter what it is they rock we rock (Chyeah)
You might wanna check in before you checkin’ the hotel
Your life could be lessened, be sure you stepped into your hell
I’m just tryna teach you how to stay alive in this bitch
I’d advise you to listen so that when you hear won’t be surprisin’ and shit
This is my city I’m always all over the place
You trippin’ wit’ us get a blow to your face
I know you relate
If we ask you: «How much dough do you make?»
Better go to the Jake’s
Bangers in LA still think the Midwest reppin’ Busta’s hoods
But it’s real over here, better know we knock that noodle just as good

[Hook: Marley Young]
Don’t get murdered, don’t get hurt
K.A.N.S.A.S. C.I.T.Y
You may die on my side
You gon’ die if they slide
I’m still crying
I’m still riding inside of this beat
I’m straight giant a monster
I became the beast that they made me
They pay me no one coulda saved me
I loaded that thang told it
Knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock tha- knock that noodle (WHAT)
Knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock tha- knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock tha- knock that noodle (WHAT)
Knock tha- knock that noodle
Knock, knock, knock

[Outro: Marley Young]
Don’t get hurt
Don’t get hurt
K-A-N-S-A
K-A-N-S-A-S-C-I-T-Y
You might die on my side
You gon die if they slide
K-A-N-S-A-S-C-I-T-Y
You might die on my side
You gon die if they slide
Darkness please
