[00:00.00]The Needle （）-Tech N9ne /Krizz Kaliko
[00:02.967]I once said in a cypher of famous friends back in 2011
[00:06.917]Who do I catch
[00:08.922]Outside of technicians'tunneled Tech vision
[00:11.25]At a point in time when d**e is the new whack
[00:14.783]So it's safe to say we're in Bonnie says Cheadle
[00:18.109]On the outskirts of our army we scare people
[00:21.293]But it's not for evil up with hawks and eagles
[00:24.669]But I'm lost and feeble wondering if this restarts the needle
[00:28.960]Look around do you spot Tech
[00:31.584]In front of seventy thousand at RockFest
[00:34.748]By the way he won the crowd does he got next
[00:38.141]To infect the mainstream or sell a lot less
[00:41.427]God bless my core fans still around
[00:43.871]We're here 'cause you held us down
[00:46.987]Love the way that you love my sounds
[00:50.546]But I'm still try'na break new ground ground
[00:55.60]Feels like I could blow out a fire with one breath
[00:58.443]One breath
[00:59.277]Look at the sky in the sun set sun set
[01:03.231]Sing a new song to change the mood
[01:09.340]And move mountains with my hands
[01:13.990]But just don't understand
[01:17.192]Why this needle just won't move
[01:23.312]Yes doing this for yes doing this for yes doing this
[01:25.562]For profit
[01:26.104]And my pocket's one dimension
[01:28.188]I wanna reach so many hearts and souls is my intention
[01:31.558]Since 2001is when I started my ascension
[01:35.25]But in 2015I went up just to get honorable mention
[01:38.282]Makes me wanna end it I get so offended
[01:41.644]When they speak of genre breaking but no Nine is ended
[01:44.798]Or friended I'm winded my music's intrinsic
[01:48.222]But it's kinda looking like the needle ain't moving even when
[01:50.35]I did a killer with Kendrick
[01:51.702]Jimmy Kimmel was splendid formally an attendant
[01:54.970]But when we were done it's like not one of them were
[01:57.483]Mended
[01:58.417]Maybe it's my image and large amount of grimness
[02:01.428]My pen spits on them scripts
[02:03.473]Thinking I'm on a sin trip and then skit
[02:05.935]Rock on the range we had 'em flocking for Strange
[02:08.584]But it was a shocker when no rockers remained
[02:11.546]When it came to the game where they claimed
[02:13.461]Fame could get you big as the Beatles
[02:16.391]We got it this far but I really wanna push
[02:18.124]That needle
[02:18.712]I could blow out a fire with one breath one breath
[02:22.692]Look at the sky in the sun set sun set
[02:26.479]Sing you a song to change the mood
[02:32.492]And move mountains with my hands
[02:37.343]But just don't understand
[02:40.359]Why this needle just won't move
[03:12.792]Pardon me Lucas
[03:14.681]I was blessed to do a song with Marshall Mathers
[03:18.63]I was thinking when the emcees hear this they hearts'll shatter
[03:21.525]'Cause the art's so radder than babblers with partial chatter
[03:24.911]But the garble swagger actors win it all but this
[03:27.160]Not a chart no latter dark so daggered
[03:29.735]Why do ni**a artists do this with me
[03:32.176]Man it make me feel so good when they all really
[03:34.137]Do skip the fee
[03:35.587]Slipknot System Of A Down Deftones Doors got a few
[03:37.744]Hits with T
[03:38.978]But the one thing that makes me wanna say screw this
[03:41.495]And flee
[03:43.34]Man I did it all this when music is free
[03:45.192]I could blow out a fire with one breath one breath
[03:49.444]Look at the sky in the sun set sun set
[03:53.189]Sing you a song to change the mood
[03:59.381]And move mountains with my hands
[04:04.60]But just don't understand
[04:07.214]Why this needle just won't move
[04:14.768]Now they gonna say poor Nine please you're fine
[04:18.145]'Cause you made it to the Forbes List 'bout at least four
[04:20.517]Times
[04:21.478]But since I wrote my first rhyme it's been war time
[04:24.794]To get the masses to see this talent deserves more shine
[04:28.241]So this year I sat at my very first Grammys
[04:31.629]Me and my partner Travis watching my peers go hammy
[04:34.974]I thought about all the awards these folks should hand me
[04:38.160]Man I swear I'd disappear if it wasn't for fans and family
[04:41.853]And family and family and family and family
