Price Is Going Up - Tech N9ne, ¡MAYDAY!

All day workin' for an overnight success

Short days' long nights living on the edge

This is some’n here that you wouldn’t want to miss

Better fuck with me now 'cause after this

The price is going up

Yeah, the price is going up

The price is going up

Better fuck with me now 'cause after this

Yeah, the price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

Underestimated, overlooked, and underappreciated

I was in the cut blazing, getting high off music I was making

Never cared much for trophy placement

Only if the soul been out the basement

Wastin' space, time, and all my patience

'Til I got a call to make my own creations

Had a larger conversation

Are you real or are you fakin'?

Do you really hear what we been making?

Or are you weirded out by greatness?

Countin' sheep’s my occupation

Can you see my dissertation?

'Til I be your overnight sensation

Now wake your ass up and lets ride, ride, ride

Get inside, ho, I drive

Don’t know where it’s alright

Trust in us, you’ll be fine

I can feel it’s my time

Engine tuned and it’s prime

Chasin' hits my whole life

I’m obsessin' and that’s fine

When you sleep I’m alive

And this time will be the last time I give out free samples of the pie

All day workin' for an overnight success

Short days' long nights living on the edge

This is some’n here that you wouldn’t want to miss

Better fuck with me now 'cause after this

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

And it goes up, up, up, up, up

Everybody wanna leave us in the cut, cut, cut, cut, cut

But we elite and we hit them in the gut, gut, gut, gut, gut

Fuckin' life until I finally get my nut, nut, nut, nut, nut

(Nut)in' breaks a man down like a little bit of broken pride

I got a house full of friends and smoke inside

We don’t worry about the day or the week ya dig

When you vibe so high time supposed to fly

If you need me come try climbing the ceiling

I could shit on folks who miss the boat with the pretense

No joke, no cloaks, no defense

Makes me feel like I’ve been cuffed in the precinct

But I been steadily making climbs up high to the pedigree

Now these fools really wanna try getting me

Like I ain’t been here kicking melodies

All up in the middle like a centerpiece

All my friends are loud getting heavily

You got screws like Ebenezer Japenese

And didn’t even know until your whole damn show was in jeopardy

All day workin' for an overnight success

Short days' long nights living on the edge

This is some’n here that you wouldn’t want to miss

Better fuck with me now 'cause after this

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

Forever did a verse for 10k

But now that it’s old as Bengay

15k is what you men pay

If you want the hip-hop from a chopper sensei

That stellar music realize you gotta rack your brain

Now what they want is twenty racks broke game

When I rap so strange, I’ma stack more change

And it really ain’t even enough of that cocaine

Ever since «Questions» '98

My people want a verse, they want aggression

Chop it, sessions, and I made a lot of good impressions

Still, they want the N9ne in one seven

But I’m getting tired of the challenge that chase me

Escape me with the flow and they be tryna erase me

They crazy because I leave 'em achy breaky

When Nina be off safety, want it, you gotta pay me

'Cause it take all my time

This mathematics, create all my rhymes

Ask anybody that’s technical with the flow spectacle

We kill the rest and they lines;

vegetables

That’s why they have seven songs in one day

Tech is a jet, I get to gassin' up on the runway

Some be saying the price scorching 'em like a sunray

But everyone pay 20k for the gunplay

All day workin' for an overnight success

Short days' long nights living on the edge

This is some’n here that you wouldn’t want to miss

Better fuck with me now 'cause after this

The price is going up

Yeah, the price is going up

The price is going up

Better fuck with me now 'cause after this

Yeah, the price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up

The price is going up, up, up, up, up
