Lyrics Badge Of Honor - Tech N9ne

Disclaimer
I realized I couldn't change how people look at me
But it gets lamer, becomin' a rich stranger
But some people minimize it until you get angered
My life myself never (had the drama)
Since I arrived from the (vag of mama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)
I never needed a (badge of honor)
But the people receivin' a (badge of honor)
Homicidal, gеnocidal
If you really wanna believе in ya (grab the llama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)
I grew up in the projects (9th Street)
Payless tennis shoes on my feet
He came up in the middle class where it's (quite neat)
Rockin' the nice clothes and fly sneaks
I started rappin', nobody can bar this passion
Pushin' and goin' so hard it happened
He started trappin', target ass, so
He started talkin' to women in a harlet fashion
I'm on the block like wow
Rhyme god Yates and I aim to spit styles
I was broke and I'm happy entertaining big crowds
He was in the game sellin' 'caine where shit's foul
I was thinkin' Strange and I gained a rich pal
Solidified a name, made a chain and sit proud
On my neck it hang and swang and it gets loud
He was in a lane full of pain, tryna gang and (tripped out)
I'm knowin' I was gonna be so great
Biggest fuckin' artist in the MO state
Many peeps know Yates, gonna eat your face
When I open the choppin' I'm gonna need Colgate
He's really goin' at a Deebo rate
With the weapon he's steppin' and got the Negro hate
Why are we so late?
He shot a brother, I shot a video and he got the B.O.H

My life myself never (had the drama)
Since I arrived from the (vag of mama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)
I never needed a (badge of honor)
But the people receivin' a (badge of honor)
Homicidal, genocidal
If you really wanna believe in ya (grab the llama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)

I had a contact to Universal
Through rehearsal and it led to a contract
He wanted combat, never knowin' where the calm at
Puttin' a lot of kill in the palm blacks
I got really good on the flow, no doubt
Tourin' around the globe and the shows sold out
He fo' sho' goes South and the low-lows mouth
Runnin' train on a woman in a remote dope house
I won awards, he ran the whores
Crime is really something he can afford
But I'm deep in the Forbes, eatin' for sure
While he up in the city tryin' to even the score
I was runnin' guap up sellin' records
And I know that nobody can stop us
He was runnin', gunnin' somebody, then got touched
I was sellin' freedom, his energy got bruh (locked up)
I made the millies and I gave an opportunity
To homies in the city, got 'em paid off of unity
But he was in prison, the killas, they brought the lunacy
He's the victorious one and they got the eulogy
I am the number one independent since
Forever, he got an extended pen sentence
But I (had to comma)
And wonder why the great is so hated
But he got out and he got the (badge of honor)

My life myself never (had the drama)
Since I arrived from the (vag of mama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)
I never needed a (badge of honor)
But the people receivin' a (badge of honor)
Homicidal, genocidal
If you really wanna believe in ya (grab the llama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)

P.S
This some B.S
No matter how hard a brother gotta work, he jerked
By his people that treat him evil like he cursed the turf
'Cause the verse went in reverse, so he hurt the church
They call you Illuminati when you spurt from dirt
Slave-ass mentality, when you lavish, the pack
Will hit you on the media with a savage attack
Thinkin' I'm a slave and say my lab is a trap
They wouldn't speak a fuckin' word
If Travis was black (Travis was black)

My life myself never (had the drama)
Since I arrived from the (vag of mama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)
I never needed a (badge of honor)
But the people receivin' a (badge of honor)
Homicidal, genocidal
If you really wanna believe in ya (grab the llama)
You can move mountains, share your things
And still won't receive a (badge of honor)
