Specter
[Intro: Tech N9ne]
I want you all to listen to a story of a ghost
That only the truly strange can see
It's about the ghost of Tech N9ne
[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
You heard of Strange and heard the name
That came in to disturb the game
Occurred the lane, preferred the word insane so the murder came
A lot of people they heard of the Tecca N9na
And always said that there wasn't a better singer
But it's so many that act like they never seen the
Independent pro and never stepped into that arena
But I'm a guap stacker, and sought after
But to many, my catalog are lost chapters
'N9cian tell a newbie that I'm a boss (laughter)
'Cause they don't know the story behind the chop master
Who they give the credit to got a lot faster
They say they poppin' Rosé and think I pop Shasta
Looking through me like I'm a ghost, I shot past ya
Like when you ever seen my name in the top rappers?
[Chorus: Crystal Watson & Tech N9ne]
I've seen you with my own eyes
That I feel so alive
I believe he lives forever
Specter, specter, specter, specter
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
I feel like I'm a ghost, 'cause I be doin' the most
My people try to boast, about the 20 year independent
But they praise another label up on Revolt (F.V.)
They never play O.G., Tecca N9na like I pay no fee
I ain't trippin' or takin' peyote
But I dropped it in '09 and nine years later another artist dropped a record called KOD
Looked over the flow spit, I'm not on a GOAT list if that ain't ghost shit, what is it? (Bullshit)
A 'N9cian know that I'm so fit to go with the dopest and know they fa sho get the bidness (Full clip)
I am kingly but I'm treated like I'm some kind of genie
Rubbing the lamp and I'm hella dreamy
People that stream me 'cause of "Caribou Lou" and the little teenies, they banging the record but never seen me
You heard the handle, claimin' you never heard the jam though
Flowin' I got the words to ramble
I murder fammo, I'm money like a bird in a bando
Mythical, so they burn a candle
When they talk about this person, I'm a sick earthlin'
Heard I was a devil and now they're disbursin'
'92 rappin' backwards I get workin'
A decade later I hear some gnarly ish yerfin
It’s like I don’t exist sometimes
Thinkin’, "How is it possible to miss some rhymes?"
That are put together to make a hit, dumb minds
Couldn’t keep with the cadence of the sticks, drum line
I’m down with the stable and got the sick combined
My imagery made ‘em all wanna split from mine
Redheaded when it wasn’t the shit, shun N9ne
Now it’s poppin’, yo can a nigga get some shine?
[Chorus: Crystal Watson & Tech N9ne]
I've seen you with my own eyes
That I feel so alive
I believe he lives forever
Specter, specter, specter, specter
[Post-Chorus: Tech N9ne]
Beware the ghost of E.B.A.H
If you deny the name
In time the ghost will greet ya
Then it will supply the reign
[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]
How else you explain it?
One of the best to obtain it
But so many claim they not acquainted
But they know the name is famous
And Strange is painted the best but never aim to bang it
'Cause of backstory that I'm that gory
Like I got an evil entity to rap for me
On a fat core B but the math surely
They ain't fuckin' with me like I gotta scratch orgy off the list
What does it cost to get the main line to gain shine off the rip?
The hang time to bang mine lost the grip then
Insane rhymes that came flyin' caused the split
Pressure for the large investor
'Cause it is hard to measure carbon texture
Tech's your resurrector, the soul injector
But for the whole semester they closed the lecture for the specter
[Chorus: Crystal Watson & Tech N9ne]
I've seen you with my own eyes
That I feel so alive
I believe he lives forever
Specter, specter, specter, specter
[Post-Chorus: Tech N9ne]
Beware the ghost of E.B.A.H
If you deny the name
In time the ghost will greet ya
Then it will supply the reign
