The Jokerr - The Maestro Lyrics
[Intro-spoken]Strange music fans, some of you might hate me for this. Some of you might love me for this. Most of you Aren't gonna know what to think. I just got a story an ima tell it. Who am I you ask? ask yourself this...[Verse 1]Who's the man with the master planWith talent that the world never knew could have so vast a spanWho raps, writes, records, engineers, makes his own beatsAnd sings his *****ing ass off, ask my fansThey'll all tell ya who(The J to the O)Yeah the record company executives would never give his ass a chanceI'll give you a classic example of the way that it goesLet me tell you bout my interaction with strange and them folksI sat with Tech on his tour bus, the two of usThrough "Welcome To The Show" on and half way through the chorus of "Jokerr's pain"Cory the annoying tour manager with his superiority complex intruded just to kick me offWithout a second thought, even though his *****ing boss was the one who invited me on to itTech didn't say shitBut Strange's vice president, Dave did"You need to build more"Hey *****, ***** what you think![Hook]This is my show, it's the maestro [x2][Verse 2]I worked a twelve hour shift, got off and flew to PhoenixAnd drove another nine hours to Santa Barbera to meet up with techAnd day one is behestI'm here trying to impressSome ***** tour manager enters in flexing his penisHow the ***** would you feel if you put your last dollar billIn the gas tank of your truck and hauled ass for hoursWilling to betIf you were chilling with TechHe'd feel the skill and respectBut instead ya kicked out, left, pipe dreamingYou see the difference between me and these other mother *****ersIs I ain't afraid of strange and I'll declare it publiclyTheir kingpin can't ***** with meAnd my success isn't contingent on his, Travis's or Dave's puppetryIt ain't nothing against the manTech's legacy standsI'll show respect to this dude and un-begrudginglyBut don't *****ing tell me I ain't a valid contenderIv'e been raw since crypto-zoologists first discovered meYou see rappers all want tech's spot well guess whatJokerr ain't a rapper *****, plug me in the next slotI'm bigger than the label with one actual artistSurrounded by tax write-offs and talent-less redundancyYou got your fans tricked but I ain't buying that shitLike all the garbage ass B-list albums you keep publishingYou had the opportunity to pick up this up and comerI tried to approach you all humbly but now ***** what you think![Hook][Verse 3]I know Tech, man. Man I know your gonna hear this, bro. I just wanna let u know I think I figured out what it takes to make it on strange music. Be the #1 independent rapper on the planet, ya know? Like, I've been studying you, man. Because, ya know, I wanna be the best and like everybody says you're the best. So I'mma just take this last verse and, ya know, share with the listeners about how Tech N9ne be ripping. NOWAllow me to break shit downLet's rhymeTech n9neBlind shredder (CHA)Predictable patterningWith a flattering end cap as a tie jetter (CHA)Then a couple in a minute barsFor a double A, B, A stanzaThat commands in advanced of the bonanzaThen it all ends up in the same rhyme letter (CHA)But he won't stop thereHe'll take it to the A barMake a nigga way hardThen he goes (CHA) in between (CHA) everything (CHA) that he says (CHA) what a great time setter (CHA)He might even switch it from 32nd's and divide it to triplets and introduce harmony for the philogyny cause the ladies love his singing like fine leather (CHA)Then we speed it up faster but it doesn't really gotta make sense (CHA)Cause the fans can't even understand what he says anyways knew better if they did they'd laugh when a nigga say shit like"Dark and wicked, (CHA) Autistic kid, (CHA) picking up frogs and crickets" Then he goes back to the line header. (CHA)It's called completion, it's all cohesive, it's basic music theory ***** and it ain't that hard to teach itListen I ain't got nothing but love for the nigga but he's not the governor of the shitAnd I'd love to admit it but I really can't in good conscience cause the fact of the matter is I'm better (CHA)And if you got a problem with it you can kiss each cheek to the beat while you're nodding with it here we (GO, GO)Look at the jester (GO, GO)Dissin' on Tech like (OH NO)Can he do that?Yeah, and I don't need y'all's permissionListen, to all you up and coming rappers, I know it's tough, but if you know you're dope then you go after what you (KNOW KNOW)And don't let them tell you to (GO HOME)Travis and Davis are (BOZOS)So what we gonna say to them? (uhhh) ***** WHAT YOU THINK![Hook][Outro-Spoken]I don't got a problem with being rejected, that's part of the game. I DO have a problem with going out to meet y'all and getting treated like shit. Well I guess that's par for the course isn't it? can't even pay for hotel rooms, got you whole crew taking sponge baths on the bus and shit saying they're making hundreds of thousands of dollars and breaking their top artists off for chump change. why the ***** you think Cognito left? Why the ***** you think Kutt left? Why the ***** you think Hopsin turned your ***** ass down. Yeah didn't think I knew about that shit, did ya? He was smart enough to step out your tech N9ne pyramid scheme. enticing these artists with a contract and a tour. spending just enough money on them to get your books looking right and spitting them out the other side. To all you young rappers looking to strange music like that's the place to be. Like there the boss and shit. Well guess what, strange music = Tech N9ne music. Sign with them if you want a permanent cap on your career. You want Tech N9ne's spot? Go out and get your own fans, get your own respect and build your own empire. And if anyone says you can't do it just look them straight in the eye and tell them ***** WHAT YOU THINK!
