To whom it may concern

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
I`m not broken hearted but I could`ve been old when I started

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
You sleep on my music and that`s a damn shame `cause I slam my bang
(Why you ain`t)

I`ve been inside every hip hop circle you could imagine
Gangster or pop, even backpackers know that I`m real good at rappin`
I was strugglin` back in the day when my hood was lackin`
Yo so I`m `bout to talk about what shoulda, woulda and coulda happened

If music was about inovatin` and penetratin` generations
By generatin` musical intergration
It wouldn`t be about limitation and demonstration
Imitation within a blatant looks just disentigratin`

It ain`t about the music, it`s just about the fame
If you ain`t popular homie, then you just out the game
If video and radio don`t frequently announce your name
They don`t know your music even though you blow most out the frame

But a closed mouth don`t get fed when it stays shut
Lay cuts with Tecca Nina `cause he can straight bust
Say what, you ain`t heard of me gettin` paid bucks?
Torrent y`all see me rippin` the stage up

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
I`m not broken hearted but I could`ve been old when I started

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
You sleep on my music and that`s a damn shame `cause I slam my bang
(Why you ain`t)

I`ve been on tour with Hov `bout 27 shows
Why he ain`t have me on a record only heaven knows
Maybe he missed us, missin` the big picture
That this is a fixture, aw yeah, he got Twista

Well, Twista`s my homie and we both from the Midwest
And I guess Hov ain`t lookin` for another speedy rapper kid yet
Me collaboratin` with them was all in me dreams
Matter fact the only one of `em called me was Beens

He told me he played you `The Industry Is Punks`
And you loved it so you know Tech is what the industry would want
I started down at the bottom, got with TOG and then it payed
But I would`ve loved to been on the third verse of `Renegade`

They must think I`m a stick of dynamite with no stem
That`s probably why I got D12 but no Em
But I burst flame and I bet that y`all know my first name
`Cause I`m the hardest this side of Earth man

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
I`m not broken hearted but I could`ve been old when I started

(Why you ain`t call me?)

This ain`t no hate mail, this a love letter
I love you ni**as music and I hope is does better
I just wish you woulda hit a brother that love cheddar
But I`m ballin` now and I`m better than I was ever

Space age flows like Jesse and Primrose
Tin-fold, I used to open-up, now I end shows
Grim road, when you one of the best with slim dough
And you ain`t got Dre, Storch, Pharrell and no Timbo

I`ve met almost half of the DTP
But the couple times I spoke to Luda, don`t think he see me
Had never met I-20 but he spoke at BET
Shawnna love me, Field Mob and Chingy decently speak me

So I`ma re-inaurate the game, it`s all fame
And you don`t get no play if you an emcee with a small name
If I wanna get on TV I guess I gotta call Pain
And Nelly, my great grandmother`s name is Maud Haynes

Maybe I`m trippin`, full of delusion
Maybe it come from all the drugs I was usin`
Maybe I am the best thing that you ever saw
Maybe I`m wrong and you don`t know me at all

I guess I`m blinded, I got reminded
That none of you just will ever know who the N9ne is
And you never heard of the homie from the Show me
Punk that, I know you ni**as know me

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
I`m not broken hearted but I could`ve been old when I started

(Why you ain`t call me?)
You know I`m the hardest, you know that my art is applauded
(Why you ain`t call me?)
You sleep on my music and that`s a damn shame `cause I slam my bang
