Tappin' In

(album: Planet - 2018)

[Tech N9ne:]
I got a story to tell, 'bout when I ginormously fell
Won't say no names though, 'cause it ain't no game, bro
And it ain't no angle making no woof tickets for me to sell
It's about two buddies in the middle of bout due
A lady on the daily putting out to
One of the buddies, she told him never let his mouth spew
Don't let your boy know what's happening
'Cause we were together, plus shacking in
That's what you call get [?] back at friends
Shoulda told him I was tapping in

[Tech N9ne & Joey Cool:]
I was 21
She was 40-something, say she wanna give me some
So I started putting Tecca Nina in the lungs
Of the photographer that my homie, then he brung
But it was a catch, he didn't want a nigga to rack
'Cause her and my homie were together, he'd give her the scratch
After every photo-shoot but he'd have a bitter attack
If he knew his colleague would shoot me then deliver the snatch
So I kept her secret like a dummy keeping it professional
I didn't tell my homie but I was full of regret you know?
Riding out with my homie, out my mouth ain't no decibels
But when she finished flicking me, we bang out on the sectional
I used to throw him hints saying "I really wanna smash her"
Then he would look at me like I was doing it with laughter saying
"She would never do it, I don't know what you after
Out of your league, man you young, broke and plus you a rapper"

[Darrein Safron & Tech N9ne:]
Bros become foes yeah (bros become foes)
Lord knows the loving was fly though
It ain't worth living these lies though
On my dog
On my dog
I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em
That I was tapping in
I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em
'Cause he was a best friend
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
That ain't never what you do to best friends

[Tech N9ne & Joey Cool:]
She would pick me up for photo sessions
But I didn't tell my homie we were low-low sexing
Man this lady had a body like she was SoloFlex'n
So right after work, she let me give her a pogo lesson
No confession never told him, I was grinding
On his working roommate, I was sliming
But I messed up and told my other homie [?]
But when me and him fell out he told my best friend that I was lying all this time
And then my homie said
Why did you playing me, I'm hearing too many rumors
Yo you got something to say to me, man?
You know about my affection for that woman that stay with me
You supposed to be my homie, why you fucking and fakin'?
And then I gotta hear from someone else
You selfish man like you think about is your fucking self
You and her be together, I don't need no one's help
I'm feel like I'm finna lose it, I don't know what I'ma do
But I swear to...
Hold on my nigga, you can't be calling me trippin
I'm with my family and I don't know what the hell you talking 'bout that's fucking insanity man
Why you lying to me bro, you know these people be talking
And their stories sound the same and you making it awkward
And I ain't finna be the type to act like this don't really hurts
What am I supposed to do 'bout it when I'm at work?
You and her, we supposed to be brothers that make it worse
And he told me everything y'all be doing don't do me dirt
Don't deny it homie, really you overstepping your turf
Told me I was snapping photos and you were moving her skirt
Even said you shoulda known this fucking chick was a flirt
Well how you gonna believe every damn thing he say?
Dog you for real? you shoulda told me wihtout delay
We was like fam, now you got me dealing with hearsay
And everything that he say, she say
Oh, I gotta go

[Darrein Safron & Tech N9ne:]
Bros become foes yeah (bros become foes)
Lord knows the loving was fly though
It ain't worth living these lies though
On my dog
On my dog
I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em
That I was tapping in
I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em, I should have told 'em
'Cause he was a best friend
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
That ain't never what you do to best friends

So that is how me and my best friend fell out
'Cause I told another homie something he had to yell out
All of our business ventures and dreams was the hell out
And I'm left with underhanded things that I can tell 'bout
Lost my best friend, 'cause I was young and dumb
He lost his life to another brother with a gun
I never got to tell him that I was sorry, I was sprung
A other homie just died of cancer, I'm numb
So the moral of the story is
Don't lie to get something that you really want
Always keep it real, though a lot of people don't
That's why they always in funk

[Tech N9ne:]
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
Shoulda told him I was tapping in
That ain't never what you do to best friends
