[00:07.03] Intro: King Tech
[00:07.63] One two, one two
[00:10.26] We dedicate this one to the Hip-Hop culture, y'all
[00:16.52] Brought to you by the world-famous Wake Up Show
[00:23.06] Verse 1: RZA
[00:23.28] Bobby Steels, Staple' tales, MC's get your lips stapled
[00:26.54] Project Killa Hill is stamped on the map like the compass
[00:30.11] Sacred sword-play, tongue-twist piercin' holes in you
[00:33.21] You can't escape 70,000 kilowatts blast through your box
[00:36.35] Walk with alarm clocks, cars drivin' slow down the block
[00:39.59] One stopped, parks, pops the trunk
[00:41.73] Snare pops loud as Glock shots
[00:43.82] Bass like an M-80 in your face cops stop, give us citation
[00:47.50] We pause for radio station identification
[00:49.40] Interlude
[00:49.61] Wake up, wake up, wake up!
[00:51.30] Tech is on
[00:51.57] Verse 2: Tech N9ne
[00:51.76] When I woke up,
[00:52.82] I grabbed the mic and never choked up
[00:54.56] Busted a verse and all the G's in Cali loc'ed up
[00:56.54] When I was summoned
[00:57.70] Styles were mixed like the Drummonds
[00:59.29] Killer clown is comin',
[01:00.39] look around, your town is crumblin'
[01:01.93] This Big Tech from the Midwest
[01:03.22] Leavin' MC's listless on the Wake Up Show
[01:05.21] Make up no stories about my shake-up flow
[01:07.65] Put me off in a cypher
[01:09.04] Partner, you can't fuck with the sniper
[01:10.94] Your flow's premature, clean your dirty diaper
[01:13.00] Mic heister, psycho alpha-schizo
[01:15.32] Hypno, cryo gat flow, guru and ain't nobody tighter
[01:18.28] Sway and Tech heard me flow and it's sealed
[01:20.37] Now I got Swedish women yelling "Tech N9ne's vild!"
[01:22.86] Verse 3: Eminem
[01:23.15] This place is my house
[01:24.55] I might as well erase my face with Wite-Out
[01:26.55] ‘Cause y'all can't see me like Ma$e's eyebrows
[01:28.99] Climbed out of a nice house
[01:30.50] Through the front window, and heard this guy shout
[01:32.63] "Hey that's my couch!"
[01:34.18] Pull a 9 out during a rhyme bout
[01:36.00] While I'm rippin' this shit,
[01:36.96] put a clip in and spit five rounds
[01:38.76] And murder you hoes worse
[01:40.00] than a convertible flippin' vertical
[01:41.59] Nose-first with the top off landing upside down
[01:44.18] Get tied down and duct-taped—fuck rape!
[01:46.77] I'd rather just hump a slut's leg with my nuts shaved
[01:49.46] It's Sway and Tech, two disk jockeys
[01:51.56] Breakin' so many freakin' needles
[01:53.09] I wonder if they inject
[01:54.07] Verse 4: Xzibit
[01:54.20] Lo and behold, better than platinum and gold
[01:56.58] Yes, God bless success, never forsake the soul
[01:59.28] Xzibit take control—locked,
[02:00.82] loaded, and ready to roll
[02:02.12] Play the upper hand,
[02:03.26] a man that's never gon' fold
[02:04.51] ‘Cause your tape sucks,
[02:05.58] find a new hobby that you can take up
[02:07.40] Or listen to my niggas
[02:08.57] Tech and Sway so you can wake up
[02:09.99] The X-Man, catch me doin' drills in the Danger Room
[02:12.68] Big game huntin' from high noon to the full moon
[02:15.00] Verse 5: Pharoahe Monch
[02:15.01] With synonyms, I get an adrenaline rush
[02:17.37] From minimum thrusts
[02:18.37] Bust multiple assaults in small interims
[02:20.45] As horrid as Boris Karloff was
[02:22.35] When I cut your neck,
[02:23.80] leave a little piece of skin
[02:24.83] So the head won't fall off
[02:26.14] Hauled-off, sawed off shotgun blast
[02:27.88] He asked: "Why did he have to die like cast metal?"
[02:30.72] Oh, see, now like Omar Credle
[02:33.62] We pone pedal at a high resolution
[02:35.77] On the Wake Up Show with Sway,
[02:37.04] Tech and DJ Revolution
[02:43.38] Verse 6: Kool G Rap
[02:43.62] I sway the TEC with the Tech and Sway
[02:45.46] Step away, weapon spray, rep today
[02:47.05] Who over debt to pay get swept away
[02:48.91] Across the whole board, like checker play
[02:50.85] When I blaze, your whole sect' arrays
[02:52.54] Wake Up Show for those who slept away
[02:54.49] Niggas that met the tre, hit the deck and pray
[02:56.72] DJ Revolution, spinnin' like
[02:58.20] lead from out the Heck and K
[02:59.66] Tearin' your neck away,
[03:01.13] flood up the street with blood redecorate
[03:02.93] until the head of Jakes investigate
[03:04.70] Interlude: Jayo Felony
[03:04.80] Sway can give it to,
[03:05.70] but what you gon' do with it?
[03:07.27] Tech can give it to you, but what you gon' do?
[03:09.81] Rev can give it to you, but what you gon' do with it?
[03:12.41] I can give it to you, wha-wha-wha-what-what!
[03:14.84] Verse 7: Chino XL
[03:15.05] Chino make the world go 'round
[03:16.84] Fuckin' up entire record companies
[03:18.78] like Harrell did to Motown
[03:20.32] Vominous talk, poison pen, ominous walk
[03:22.80] Which flow will I destroy you with this time
[03:24.48] The most commonest thought
[03:25.68] The drama that's brought caught us
[03:26.52] In the midst of a sibling rivalry
[03:28.03] For instance, there is nothing born in
[03:29.21] existence that can survive with me
[03:30.71] Clone me like sheep,
[03:31.76] I clean house like Tony Randall
[03:33.15] My style filed sexual harassment, like Tisha Campbell
[03:35.99] You wack like Will Smith,
[03:37.08] your rhyme style is pansy
[03:38.49] I fuckin' murder your young style,
[03:39.68] like Jon Benet Ramsey
[03:41.03] Now who the master to beg?
[03:42.23] Your demo get passed on the reg'
[03:43.71] You shouldn't have been signed
[03:44.83] if you had a white cast on your leg
[03:46.27] I'm Wake Up Show reppin' with Sway and Tech
[03:47.77] My TEC's like Tekken, the industry weapon
[03:49.66] I'm Chino X—bring KRS in!
[03:51.55] Verse 8: KRS-One
[03:51.80] De-de-de-da-de-de-de-da-di-day
[03:54.18] KRS-One comin' with the Tech and Sway
[03:56.33] Yo, I rock up on the littlest
[03:57.97] set and up on the biggest set
[03:59.07] As ill as it gets I still manage
[04:00.56] to wiggle your neck with sweat
[04:01.92] Never forget: the bigger the budget, the bigger the debt
[04:04.25] You gotta be, willin' to rock in the middle of dry
[04:06.20] And in the middle of wet
[04:07.10] But I'm willin' to bet,
[04:08.15] on a Sway and a Tech, they stay in effect
[04:09.84] Never been a pain in the neck, they gainin' respect
[04:11.78] Nevertheless I wreck you
[04:13.12] Now you know what Sway and Tech do
[04:14.92] I'll be back, but for now just seckle
[04:17.65] Ha ha ha! Fresh for 1999, you suckers!

[03:26.52] In the midst of a sibling rivalry
[03:28.03] For instance, there is nothing born in
[03:29.21] existence that can survive with me
[03:30.71] Clone me like sheep,
[03:31.76] I clean house like Tony Randall
[03:33.15] My style filed sexual harassment, like Tisha Campbell
[03:35.99] You wack like Will Smith,
[03:37.08] your rhyme style is pansy
[03:38.49] I fuckin' murder your young style,
[03:39.68] like Jon Benet Ramsey
[03:41.03] Now who the master to beg?
[03:42.23] Your demo get passed on the reg'
[03:43.71] You shouldn' t have been signed
[03:44.83] if you had a white cast on your leg
[03:46.27] I' m Wake Up Show reppin' with Sway and Tech
[03:47.77] My TEC' s like Tekken, the industry weapon
[03:49.66] I' m Chino X bring KRS in!
[03:51.55] Verse 8: KRSOne
[03:51.80] Dedededadedededadiday
[03:54.18] KRSOne comin' with the Tech and Sway
[03:56.33] Yo, I rock up on the littlest
[03:57.97] set and up on the biggest set
[03:59.07] As ill as it gets I still manage
[04:00.56] to wiggle your neck with sweat
[04:01.92] Never forget: the bigger the budget, the bigger the debt
[04:04.25] You gotta be, willin' to rock in the middle of dry
[04:06.20] And in the middle of wet
[04:07.10] But I' m willin' to bet,
[04:08.15] on a Sway and a Tech, they stay in effect
[04:09.84] Never been a pain in the neck, they gainin' respect
[04:11.78] Nevertheless I wreck you
[04:13.12] Now you know what Sway and Tech do
[04:14.92] I' ll be back, but for now just seckle
[04:17.65] Ha ha ha! Fresh for 1999, you suckers!
