Tech N9ne - EMJ Lyrics






[Intro]
I can't decide this gets deeper, now my body's growing weaker
To end this is dedicated, for this you'll never be belated bro.

[Verse 1 - Tech N9ne]
I told 'em I ain't know you rap nigga you cold blooded
The way he busted his flow on stage wasn't slow was it
My nigga was flippin, he grabbed that mic n was rippinin
Untill some idiots was trippinin, then I heard bullets whistlin
Coulda slang em, I just wanna celebrate he laughed n said
Hes writin a song called reno 911 straight on they ass.
As far as words go its crazy, remember the last I heard EMJ
On this emotional musical journey.

[Hook]
Come ride with me.. Is it sad to see still ride with me
So join me.. let me share with this world as I live out the dreams
We won't be gone for long! I promise you won't be alone!
If you lose me frightened, words of this song, remember michael jones.
On this emotional musical journey.

"Yo... this is OG Muggs, for a shout out to my man MJ,
God took you away, it was too soon man
Your up there with the angels lookin down
And watchin our world right now brother.
We love you, we miss you, We'll never forget you MJ
Rest in peace brother."

[Verse 2 - Irv Da Phenom]
That was my nigga, in the bunk right across from mine,
Crackin them jokes like all the time, hoppin on stage wit em every night
And why...niggas would ever wanna take somebodies life
Who's livin like a shinning light man all the homie ever did was smile
I still don't understand it.. don't think I ever will
Why I couldn't have been the bitch nigga that god had let get killed
Instead he took MJ away it's safe to say I'll see your face again someday
At pearly gates but I hold you in my heart untill.

[Verse 3 - Kutt Calhoun]
At times I'm like, "YO MJ WHERE YOU BEEN??" (Where you at bro?)
I know you lookin down on me like, "Here I am Kutty" (I'm right here boy)
And I ain't votin for nothin homie, don't wanna do nothing for me
Your love is enough in store in its glory, or so pore me a drink
We can cheer n toast givin thanks to I,
You didn't lose a partner, you gained a gangster for life.
In your heart I exist but the music I'm able to live
I see the way you floss me all on your wrist, and that's whats up mane.

[Hook]
Come ride with me.. Is it sad to see still ride with me
So join me.. let me share with this world as I live out the dreams
We won't be gone for long! I promise you won't be alone!
If you lose me frightened, words of this song, remember michael jones.

"On my highest day my nigga you was there,
Now I'm on my lowest day cuz you not here..
I miss you my nigga,
Love you MJ"

[Verse 4 - Dernz]
I seen a cruel bitch, met her in Reno Nevada
She'll have you livin your dreams, then take em all wit no problem.
In dark ally ways, where devils wait for the shootout
At someone who's special I told my family about em
I saw his first door, he told me tech was his hero
And watched him from the crowd, till then go rock the same theatres
Step out of bounds and rounds can fly, behind casinos
On the night I never gambled and still lost it all in Reno..

[Verse 5 - Wrekonize]
If I only had 8 bars, to come an deliver to you in the grave yard
I'd say god is shitty for even releasin you behind the 8 ball
The pains hard, I know you got kiddies to carry your name on
But I'm prayin for em, so they don't end up just singin the same song
I'm hearin it my "sleep", I'm hearin it the "head",
This whispers on the beat, screamin MJ where you been?
I promise you everyone out here shed tears, untill he remembers
Hi powered mayhem, MJ Mayday's 7th member.

[Verse 6 - Stevie Stone]
Remember like it was yesterday, show up in reno
Off of the bus, and to off a bourbin then we hit the casino
And they we, we did the show an we was ONLY
It was all that cryin, you n rock was all that homie
Never should have left you lonely, you took six to five day
Talk to you a couple days ago still ridin, No one never thought there was
Complications risin, a blood clot inside em. MJ DIED I'm like..

"MJ, it's Cross-Eyed Joe, We fucking miss you bro.
MJ, what can I say man, rest in paradise.
Rest in paradise pimpin, we love you.

"Michael Jones, I miss you my nigga"

[Verse 7 - Jay Rock]
MJ still tryna cope wit this, still can't believe that you gone
And I know I gots to be strong, revise mindset the lord
So we gotta let him take control
But lord knows that I wanna grab the gat cock back
Land a blow and watch heads roll,
You was intelligent man, I watched you gravitate fans
Shouted out where you been, people was all in a trance.
Then we stepped off stage, you say you killen em rock
Then I say you killen em MJ, then you say lets put on for watts
Your strenghth is OX, in a bed just layin with shots
Laughin an jokin, meanwhile I'm goin through emotions
You tell me, Jay rock you gotta keep goin when all daddys broke
Your alblum about to drop, plus you cant be slackin bro
Ya fo sho my nigga, I know that's a minor set back
But you told me keep killin on me, it'll be alright
Imma be back, no time bet that.
Then I got that phone call it was bad news at it's best and it hurt me
That I lost my friend on this emotional musical journey.

[Verse 8 - Magnum PI]
Hold it, roll up the swisher, light up n paint a picture,
Only if painted different I woulda been right there wit ya,
So instead of crying I rejoice n pore out some liquor,
Henni straight, I mix it with lemonade,
Feel like I should be ashamed, I had to look your moma dead in the face
She told me errrthing was goin be ok
You told me if anything you should be on your way home any day
Soon as we all relaxin the phone rang, heard her sayin (I'm goin crazy)
Its crazy I'm thinkin maybe just maybe I miss understandin what your lady was sayin
Na na you can't be serious, stop your talkin delirious.
Got my mom on the phone you already know where his spirit went
So I drink that hen till there no more left, right that wrong cuz it don't go left
Right this song try not stress, gotta be strong yet fight to death.
As far as visions go that's that was last way that I saw
EMJ on this emotional musical journey..

[Hook]
Come ride with me.. Is it sad to see still ride with me
So join me.. let me share with this world as I live out the dreams
We won't be gone for long! I promise you won't be alone!
If you lose me frightened, words of this song, remember michael jones.
On this emotional musical journey...journey..journey..

  61. E.... V....

    You are clearly a child who has and if you continue to think that way, never have a real female in your life.

  62. X.... ....

    I don't even know EMJ but this song is a beautiful tribute to him, it makes me sad and i don't even know much about him

  63. k.... ....

    1 person forgot to take the mute off

  64. 1.... ....

    Wrong again!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Conversation ended. . .

  65. S.... R....

    go listen to new krizz and say that shit again hahaha dumbass

  66. 1.... ....

    FUCK THAT FAT NIGGA!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! You almost cried over a T-PAIN kind of voice hahaha!!! Dumbass!!

  67. 1.... ....

    ThaT NIGGA got knocked out at foxhills mall HAHAHAHA!!!! by his own homies reppin the same shit hahaha!!!

  68. 1.... ....

    KRIZZ IS FATASS!! Only one who DON'T belong on STRANGE! (simply because he's FAT With SHIT ON HIS FACE AND SINGS LIKE T-PAIN) HAHAHAHA !!!!!!!

  69. t.... ....

    That means you never get to see tech again.

  70. D.... H....

    EMJ stands for emotional musical journey. The person they're referring to is Michael Jones when they say "MJ"

  71. A.... M....

    Boo to whoever disliked

  72. W.... L....

    who the fuck would dislik

  73. c.... ....

    I was supposed to go to the concert at The Knitting Factory the night that this happened. Its fucked up. Much love to the Strange FAM. Theres no realer musical family out there that accepts everyone with as much love.

  74. J.... W....

    Howhoo!!

  75. E.... ....

    If anyone is confused about the song, go look up lyrics on azlyrics I posted before the song was released. Youll get it

  76. c.... ....

    Guys, EMJ stands for Emotional Musical Journey as far as the song title goes but they chose that BECAUSE his stage name was Emcee Michael Jones, so it stands for both technically. I don't see why this is a difficult concept to grasp, just enjoy the song.

  77. c.... ....

    @xxgearsxx100 why? He didn't know MJ did he?

  78. i.... ....

    @jordanstrangekc no but u obviously r......listen to jay rocks verse he says e m j i cant believe ur gone

  79. n.... o....

  80. n.... o....

    Emotional Musical Journey.
    Get it rite kids

  81. i.... ....

    @jordanstrangekc no because it looks like u r

  82. i.... ....

    @TheRSEP no emj stands for emc micheal jones was his rap name

  83. D.... E....

    Irv is just too raw and so is Kutt,but they all went hard in this song

  84. K.... V....

    emj= emotional musical journy not a person not michael jones thats MJ

  85. w.... ....

    @RoxtarFreak Lol. Krizz Kaliko dude.

  86. t.... ....

    @RoxtarFreak Thats Krizz Kaliko mate

  87. R.... ....

    Im pretty sure wrekonize sings the chorus. BTW stevie stone is a bawsss

    R.... ....

    its krizz come on man how you can mess his voice up lol

  88. D.... ....

    R.I.P. Micheal Jones

  89. H.... ....

    Wrek throw us a smoking anthem style freestyle!!!

  90. R.... B....

    @Alot2late i dont find it unfortunate, since its about a friend dieing that is what makes this song all the more real

  91. M.... L....

    @TripppyMane and now who knows when he'll even come back......... punks.

  92. G.... ....

    @MoAmyot90 EMJ stans for Emotional Musical Journey, but the MJ part is also a short form of Micheal Jones: the man they lost.

  93. M.... A....

    I sincerely believe this is the best tribute I've ever heard in my whole life. So much love showed in 7 minutes. The strange crew once again show us that they are the best in the game. Amazing verses and an amazing touching hook from Krizz.

    I don't even know this EMJ but I feel sad nevertheless, that's how powerful this track is.

  94. T.... ....

    @MrKraftykey yeah you can google that shit and find the new report from Reno.

  95. T.... ....

    This town blows, and everybody here knows it. Too many punks and shit.

  96. j.... b....

    R.I.P mick jones and now sence reno (hometown) is down the drain we love you mick jones

  97. c.... o....

    i met this dude in kc at the 6's and 7's siging... R.I.P EMJ
