Текст песни The Maestro (The Jokerr) с переводом

Some of you might love me for this

Most of you aren’t gonna know what to think

I just got a story an I’ma tell it

Who am I you ask? ask yourself this…

Who’s the man with the master plan with talent that the world never knew could

have so vast a span

Who raps, writes, records, engineers, makes his own beats

And sings his fucking ass off, ask my fans

They’ll all tell ya who

(The J to the O)

Yeah the record company executives would never give his ass a chance

Ill give you a classic example of the way that it goes

Let me tell you 'bout my interaction with Strange and them folks

I sat with Tech on his tour bus, the two of us

Through «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 off

Without a second thought, even though his fucking boss was the one who invited

me on to it

Tech didn’t say shit

But Strange’s vice president, Dave did

«You need to build more»

Hey bitch, fuck what you think!

This is my show (Fuck what you think! Fuck what you think!)

It’s the maestro (Fuck what you think! Fuck what you think!)

This is my show (Fuck what you think! Fuck what you think!)

It’s the maestro (Fuck what you think! Fuck what you think!)

I worked a twelve hour shift, got off and flew to Phoenix

And drove another nine hours to Santa Barbara to meet up with Tech

At Dave Weiner’s behest

I’m here trying to impress

Some pussy tour manager enters in flexing his penis

How the fuck would you feel if you put your last dollar bill

In the gas tank of your truck and hauled ass for hours

Willing to bet

If you were chilling with Tech

He’d feel the skill and respect

But instead ya kicked out, left, pipe dreaming

You see the difference between me and these other mother fuckers

Is I ain’t afraid of Strange and ill declare it publicly

Their kingpin can’t fuck with me

And my success isn’t contingent on his, Travis’s or Dave’s puppetry

It ain’t nothing against the man

Tech’s legacy stands

I’ll show respect to this dude and un-begrudgingly

But don’t fucking tell me I ain’t a valid contender

Iv’e been raw since crypto-zoologists first discovered me

You see rappers all want Tech’s spot well guess what

Jokerr ain’t a rapper bitch, plug me in the next slot

I’m bigger than the label with one actual artist

Surrounded by tax write-offs and talent-less redundancy

You got your fans tricked but I ain’t buying that shit

Like all the garbage ass B-list albums you keep publishing

You had your chance to pick up this up and comer

I tried to approach you all humbly but now fuck what you think!

I know Tech, man, man I know you’re gonna hear this, bro I just wanna let you

know that I think I figured out what it takes to make it on Strange Music

Be the number one 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’ma just take this last verse and, ya know, share with the listeners about

how Tech N9ne be ripping NOW

Allow me to break shit down

Let’s rhyme

Tech N9ne

Line shredder (CHA)

Predictable patterning

With a flattering end cap as a tie jetter (CHA)

Then a couple in a minute bars

For a double A, B, A stanza

That commands in advanced of the bonanza

Then it all ends up in the same rhyme letter (CHA)

But he won’t stop there

He’ll take it to the A bar

Make a nigga way hard

Then 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 bitch and it

ain’t that hard to teach it

Listen I ain’t got nothing but love for the nigga but he’s not the governor of

the shit

And 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

Look at the jester

Dissin' on Tech like

Can he do that?

Yeah, and I don’t need y’all’s permission

Listen, 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

And don’t let them tell you to

Travis and Davis are

So what we gonna say to them? (uhhh) FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!

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 fuck you think Cognito left? Why the fuck you think Kutt

left? Why the fuck you think Hopsin turned your bitch 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 equal 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 FUCK WHAT YOU THINK!
