"On The Outside" lyrics - TECH N9NE

[Intro:]
It really used to bother me
Why award shows never callin' me?
Was not enough to hold the T down
'Cause I'm constantly choppin' broccoli (Countin' money)
They don't owe me no apology
I'm ballin', gettin' nightly neurology
Even though I got the lottery now
Ain't no thought of me, I do not agree

Staring at Platinum and Gold plaques
"Fragile", "Hood Go Crazy", "Caribou Lou", Gold stacked
'Cause ain't nobody never, ever said that Tecca Nina flow wack
And that's the reason for babies' mamas, no cap
I read somewhere I had the most Top 10's on the Billboard rap charts
When you kill more, stacks start, I'm a mill' grower at heart
And I led my people to the bread, I teach you, I'm a real lord, that part
I got the ill for a fact, art, but wait a minute
If you looked up T9 history, yo, the data's in it
In the gang we Strange and we gain big things because we play to win it
But to some my shit seems invisible's the only way to spin it
Kinda like some opp wanna try to play me out like I'm Sega Genes-
Is this stopping us? Hell nah, got a lot of fans watching us
Saying God to us, but if Strange came through the window pane of the mainstream's oculus
It'll leave a lot of rappers with their mouth wide, like "The Ring" when people went the TV route and died
I'm without cries, 'cause me and my partner built an empire and we did it on the outside

[Chorus:]
I get guap, I get guap, I get guap
On the outside and when I'm home from gettin' it
I just watch, I just watch, I just watch
On the outside, here I come now
I get guap, I get guap, I get guap
On the outside and when I'm home from gettin' it
I just watch, I just watch, I just watch
On the outside, here I come now

I get guap still, even though people are not real
When it come to who got skill, some just want a nigga pop pills
I done did it, all fly, tongue splitter, y'all, I swung, hit a ball, dropped deals
Started my own and stocked mills, but I kinda sensed that blocked feel
Very little radio and TV time, that's what the outside mean when I free these lines
Like somebody determined to never see me shine, completely deep inside, I know they really dying to meet me
To be a household name like Snoop, really would feel like felicity
But I think it takes a bit of a brighter image and enough of the right publicity
So as I sit and peep award shows like I'm a forbidden geek
Ignored so 'cause I love and live in deep where the lord flows through the blood of risen chiefs
I love to see all of my peers getting their credit through all of my years
Of eating the mic, I just swallow my fears, when beating this fight, never call on my tears
Even though so many cry over Yates
The music business treat me like I'm a flyover state
But I work this glow, murk this flow, never been a day my clout died
Tech Nina, Strange Music, built that thing on the outside

[Chorus:]
I get guap, I get guap, I get guap
On the outside and when I'm home from gettin' it
I just watch, I just watch, I just watch
On the outside, here I come now
I get guap, I get guap, I get guap
On the outside and when I'm home from gettin' it
I just watch, I just watch, I just watch
On the outside, here I come now

[Outro:]
I get guap, I get guap, I get guap
Here I come baby, I'm coming to get ya (Get ya)
I just watch, I just watch, I just watch
And it's such a beautiful picture (Picture)
I get guap, I get guap, I get guap
All year round, all day and night
I just watch, I just watch, I just watch
No worries, everything's gonna be alright
On the outside
