I met Tech and Krizz in Kuwait after my tour in Iraq and it meant the world to me. My mother died 3 weeks before we deployed and I honestly didn't know if I had the willpower to make it home. I got to meet my favorite and most idolized rapper and shake his hand after seeing some of my favorite songs live. Tech if you actually read these comments I want you to know that you have impacted my live in more ways then I thought possible. I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. Thank you.
No, as a matter of fact, I'm not. I've been without a solid job for over a year. People would rather hire emigrants than veterans of their own country.
Philip Lee its all about the money man. I once heard someone say dont get employed. get deployed. as in make your own means for money. because you will only get paid to do what someone else doesn't want/feel like doing.
I have so much respect for Aaron. It seems like more and more famous people are becoming heartless and uncaring, but I swear, Strange Music is full of love and caring lyrics that actually relate to a lot of people in this world. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate Tech N9ne for helping us all. I would love to shake your hand man.
+Ryan Alex He's definitely unique, but he puts his heart out there. Strange Music is a group of amazing people. Yes Brotha Lynch Hung has some I guess for gruesome lyrics, but the dudes got heart.
Am I the only one that gets chills when Tech says " For the young soldiers who do exactly what they're told to do. Damn... Do exactly what they're told to do"?
Its sad they sign their life and their freedom over... that's why our military should be treated like kings and queens when they come home. People in our prisons get treated with more dignity it seems.
yeah, that's really what being a soldier is all about. unfortunately, most don't realize that until AFTER the paperwork is signed because the recruiters make it sound like nothing more than a few years of care free fun, afterwords being set for life. the recruiters that came to my school literally told us all they do is drink and play with guns all day to try and convince all the burn outs to sign up. I got kicked out of the presentation for calling them out on their lies and telling everyone that they make it seem glamorous to convince you to sign up under the "promise" that you and your family will always be taken care of medically and financially, but the moment you're incapable of active duty, they discharge you and put you on a ten year waiting list for your benefits, hoping you die or commit suicide before you can collect a penny. about the only benefit is as long as your discharge was honorable, employers will usually hire you over someone who is more qualified for the job than you are...
Vet here. Recruiters do exactly what is in their job description: recruit. The things that are told to you leading up to your actual signing up are a mix of malarkey and truth. The best course of action before getting into _anything_ is to research it thoroughly, so you don't regret your decision(s). When you do finally sign, you do, in fact, do what you are told. Your basic responsibilities are to follow lawful orders. That said, if you signed up during a time of war (like I did), you should know what you're getting into. +Chris Wiley, I know the VA sucks dick (like, a lot of dick), but if you are medically _retired_ (i.e., your condition stems from something that occurred during your service), you get the benefits of someone who is retired. If you wash out of BCT and are found generally inept for duty, then they (rightfully) don't pay you a thing, especially if it's something that could have been disclosed at MEPS.
Hey Tech I met you back when you were in my home town on tour for KOD and I'm a Marine I wanted to express to you how much I appreciate you decicating a song to us. Thank you.
323 dislikes on this song. That is 323 people who have no heart. This song is beautiful. These guys put their lives n the line. Strange music puts their hearts on the line.
As a veteran, this brought tears to my eye's and had me choked up. Tech you've been my favorite rapper for a long time, but it seems like every time I turn around I'm reading something new about you that raises my admiration and respect for you as a person. And the same goes out to many other artists on the label. It seems like you not only look for the best talent but character means something. Not necessarily past but the desire to always be rising. So much respect for what you and your crew have done. May you always find success and prosperity.
i showed my uncle this song and he ended up in tears. he is thankful to be back home and he is thankful to be alive. he wishes for everyone to come back home safely, and forget the people who dislike this song, it just means the dont give a rats ass about this country.
I played this song and video every music therapy session in residential treatment. The most powerful emotions i can feel are felt every listen. Sober since August 13th 2021!
I've never seen Wrek so focused on the camera before. It's mesmerizing. It's like he's looking right into your eyes the whole time singing to you... That's exactly what he's doing. Singing for his people.
normally don't comment too much on things I see on here but kinda felt like I should and maybe that one person will hear. After 3 tours, 10 years ago, I still feel lost but ive always had and played music. I don't listen to music as influence, that's not the reason for it. its creative art. And having some others speak your own thoughts is mind blowing. when you relate you find comfort in knowing your not alone.. Thanks
This song represents all of our ignorance in the world, while we are having a normal life here, there are others who are struggling with their lives and wishing they can have a life like how ours is, very touching Tech9 .
Thank you Tech and MAYDAY for opening up people's eyes to what pain can be for us who have or do serve over in war. You guys show that even though we feel alone that someone's always there to know the feeling and we aren't alone. If I ever get to meet you, I want to just give the biggest respect and thanks ever. THANK YOU!
Tech and mayday have really restored the troops after what they have been through Tech and the rest of the strange music crew I've always loved you music I'm only 16 and I wanted to say thank you for supporting these troops they really needed it you guys have really impacted their lives
I love how tech feels for everyone like he knows what you have been through and every troubling thing that you have ever seen because hes been there and also I love you ¡MAYDAY! You are truth
In need of words. The most describing is "Beautiful" simply beautiful.. This song is perfect, in every single words. - "Yates" is the artist doing most for his fans. Personally autographing EVERY deluxe album. PROUD TECHNICHIAN! - Every Technician, LET'S RISE AND SHINE!
"Der Tag wird kommen an dem die Menscheit entdeckt das sie nur noch die Wahl hat zwischen Untergang und totaler Vernichtung!" BaphoMATH, not METHaDonna.
My little brother is a U.S. Marine and left yesterday to fight for this country. This song just hits home for me. I am proud to have the freedom I have because of the brave people like my brother and I hope you are too.
rest in peace to Kenneth Aleshire Jr my cousin who survived his time in Afghanistan to come back to the States and get hit by an SUV in a hit and run. Kenny was a fellow Juggalo, a good cousin, and friend to me and my brother. Rage In Paradise cuz. I love you. Whoop whoop
I've tried writing this letter now, Several times before, When the party's over and, The liquor is no more, I'll tell you now that living has become somewhat a chore, And following their rules is such a God forsaken bore, Now I say God because I'm programmed, But I believe in none, I see no interventions and I see no Holy Sons, And if I'm wrong than strike me down and break these breathing lungs, Just take these words reverse them back upon my evil tongue, I've seen children arm each other like it's second nature, Some just wanna watch the world burn, And bang upon the drums, And that is why the music and the rhythm will live on, Cause chaos has a melody and death is like a song, I sing, sing out to the rafter's I sing, Close this little chapter and I think, This life is a disaster and it stings, I'm trying to find a way to just sing, Sing out to the rafter's I sing, Close this little chapter and I think, This life is a disaster and it stings, You see I'm trying to find a way out, What a world, what a world, I'm hanging up the noose now, Waiting for the end, What a world, what a world, I'm hanging up the noose now, Waiting for the end I went to visit wounded soldiers out on Camp Pendelton, And the cause of the missing limbs it mean there's no love like Wimbledon, When they sat before me young as hell and gave me accolades like gentlemen, I'm thinking that the enemy took away their ability to walk to touch no way of rekindling, What is now gone unless they got money like Forrest and Lt. Dan, The war if you win a damn they have no remorse at any minute bam, That's fucked off while we're chilling on tour on the bus getting sucked off, Know our family is grieving 'cause war is recieving their peeps and they crying their butts off, That's why I get so much, When a flow bust, Why we got it so good 'cause it's so rough, For the young soldiers who, Do exactly what they're told to do, Damn, do what exactly what they're told to do, Defend they're country and uphold the crew, But give my one and only soul for you, That's a hell of a job description, I don't know if my God's with this one, But I guess its the laws of sick men, Send out youngin's and they fall the victim, Of an evil clans plan, That's why I be saying dwamn, 'Cause on 9/11 I realized the fate is another man's hands, What a world, what a world, I'm hanging up the noose now, Waiting for the end, What a world, what a world, I'm hangin up the noose now, Waiting for the end When I see how my loved ones have left, I wonder how long I would fight, I wonder if I would give in and let the reaper lead me into night, See I got too much pride left, My grandmother died too early, Reaching for moments more instead the cancer in her lungs took her from me, We drifted naturally like two ships in the roughest of seas, That's why this moments precious yet I'm too distant to feel it complete, See these days I feel so disconnected, It gets harder to drop to my knees, I guess that's a side effect of living in generation XYZ, Obsessed with pain and grief man I wish we were kids again, Things were simpler than 90s incidents, Got me losing friends to the hands of violent men, fast, Faster than speeding bullets whizzing down alley ways, Abruptly I'm waking up from this haze, But only to realize the world hasn't changed, Suddenly I'm not even fazed, Y'all think it's the way we been raised? Fuck it I'm sinking right back in this haze, 'Cause these could turn out to be my last todays, With a hope and a prayer put a rope in the air, But I'm just too scared, Choking from the pressure when I rock this chair, Swing back and forth and tempt death with a blank stare, What a world, what a world, I'm hanging up the noose now, Waiting for the end, What a world, what a world, I'm hangin up the noose now, Waiting for the end
221 people have no respect for the troops i have family in the army and navy. i actually am enlisting into the marines i have so much respect for those who have served thank you so much for my freedom and rights
U shouldnt be thankful for blood being shed "Those who wage war wont send their own kids" - Ralph smart Now what does that tell u about humanity? my intention is not to be disrespectful but mindful that we cant have peace with war only more war and shouldnt have countries that separate humanity instead become a whole body of this world bcuz we are just cells of a bigger organism. The more we feed into war the less we have true freedom and peace.
This is a beautiful song. It can be hard to find others who actually know what it feels like to see the world as the way it really is. So much suffering and death and violence, and for what? Nothing but greed and gluttony.
This song is so sad and yet hits so hard home. And that's the saddest part. anyone allowing the words to touch their mind and heart their eyes will shine with tears even if they don't let them fall. thanks for posting this.
What kind of a person would dislike something so deep and touching like this? It's really sad what's happened to the rap industry. This shit has an incredibly powerful message and deserves way more views than it currently has.
Will be keeping this on repeat when I eventually Deploy. Just got to my first duty base and look forward to contributing to the fight with my brothers and sisters. Great to know that my favorite artist has again, provided me with a song that helps me keep my strength through all the rough times I've had in life, and that I will have.
this song holds many meaning to myself for all my friends and family the have been in war and military and i must respect that there is a camp after my last name was always like O.O to me when i first listen to this song but as my last lil thought much love and respect from this clown of life to all military and military families
I ask the same thing and for the record im 15 but seriously ever person in my school either likes mummble rap or autotune rap but yet those two are almost the same damn thing.
I'm not in the army or anything but this song hits me deep cuz it's hard to live with bullet wounds and scars, people don't see what our veterans and soldiers went thru they deserve respect and love thank tech and mayday for this song
My uncles going to Afghan, he's twenty. Wish him luck, well i am, I know it isn't too bad there right now. It is just hard to know you're family is gonna go to a whole nother country alone, especially because he has been drinking himself to sleep each night, secretly he is scared, he just doesn't want us to know. I love him and hope he will be okay(: Much love and best of luck to everyone out there, to the navy national guard vets army everything out there, and everyone! Much love and prayers to you all
I like Tech because everything I've heard from him tends to stray away from sheeit this calm, but this is a nice song. Mayday nailed this sheeit. Good job fellas
lol no disrespect homie but by "featuring Mayday" you mean Mayday Featuring Tech N9ne. since it was originally a Mayday track and you got in on a verse Tech. keep it real fam. much love Owoh3
We fight so that those who do not can practice the freedoms we defend (that includes useless trolls and those anti military folk). I expect some will hate the message this song spreads but they are insignificant as Tech N9ne is conveying support and really, we did not type in name of some burger flipping military hating douche bag who has access to a computer. I am certain you do not read these but if you do thank you for making this song Tech
1st heard Tech in 2002 and all his music is genuine, this one makes my heart heavy for the men and women who have lost their life for us to live in this country free for so long. Thank you to the soldiers in any war who have given their lives to protect this country
sad that tech and strange music aint were it should be but yet migos and all that other bull shit is toppin charts when these dudes really lyrical as hell smh
Music like this makes me wish I listened to it earlier... I had family in wars... Vietnam, WW2, some even deployed now.... There's so much emotion in this song.
Fellow rap listeners, we’re two rappers with the goal to bring back real talent to the music industry. Also, we want to know your opinion. Greatly appreciated if you took one minute to check out what we’ve been working on. DL
I don't have anyone close in the military but this song hits me hard as hell every time I listen to it....thank you to any and all troops who fight for mine and everyone else's freedom
This song has made me a stronger person over the years that ive listened to it and come back to it. I used to struggle to listen to it, just made me so sad. But man it's a beautiful song.
I listen to this song every day because it helps me see that im not the only one in this cruel and unnatural and unusual world that feels this same way .
"i say god cause im programmed but i believe in none" i have so much respect for you Mayday especially you Wreckonize your rapping, freestyling and singing
I met Tech and Krizz in Kuwait after my tour in Iraq and it meant the world to me. My mother died 3 weeks before we deployed and I honestly didn't know if I had the willpower to make it home. I got to meet my favorite and most idolized rapper and shake his hand after seeing some of my favorite songs live. Tech if you actually read these comments I want you to know that you have impacted my live in more ways then I thought possible. I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. Thank you.
Thank you for your service. We will pass along the message to Tech. Much love.
I appreciate that a lot.
Philip Lee that's good shit. thank you for your service. hope your doing very well man.
No, as a matter of fact, I'm not. I've been without a solid job for over a year. People would rather hire emigrants than veterans of their own country.
Philip Lee its all about the money man. I once heard someone say dont get employed. get deployed. as in make your own means for money. because you will only get paid to do what someone else doesn't want/feel like doing.
I saw nothing but sincerity in Tech's eyes, he's such a good artist I swear.
The look in MY eyes show pain. This music is art.
He's a good man.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate Tech N9ne for helping us all. I would love to shake your hand man.
amen
Nicely said, man.
except brotha lynch hung's lyrics lmao
+Ryan Alex He's definitely unique, but he puts his heart out there. Strange Music is a group of amazing people. Yes Brotha Lynch Hung has some I guess for gruesome lyrics, but the dudes got heart.
this song is related to one person..his BLAKE SPENCER HIEKEN😡😱
Am I the only one that gets chills when Tech says " For the young soldiers who do exactly what they're told to do. Damn... Do exactly what they're told to do"?
yup thats a choice buddy
Its sad they sign their life and their freedom over... that's why our military should be treated like kings and queens when they come home. People in our prisons get treated with more dignity it seems.
+mm sre bms you can thank humanity and free will for that. What is God but a scientist with us being the experiment....
yeah, that's really what being a soldier is all about. unfortunately, most don't realize that until AFTER the paperwork is signed because the recruiters make it sound like nothing more than a few years of care free fun, afterwords being set for life. the recruiters that came to my school literally told us all they do is drink and play with guns all day to try and convince all the burn outs to sign up. I got kicked out of the presentation for calling them out on their lies and telling everyone that they make it seem glamorous to convince you to sign up under the "promise" that you and your family will always be taken care of medically and financially, but the moment you're incapable of active duty, they discharge you and put you on a ten year waiting list for your benefits, hoping you die or commit suicide before you can collect a penny. about the only benefit is as long as your discharge was honorable, employers will usually hire you over someone who is more qualified for the job than you are...
Vet here.
Recruiters do exactly what is in their job description: recruit. The things that are told to you leading up to your actual signing up are a mix of malarkey and truth. The best course of action before getting into _anything_ is to research it thoroughly, so you don't regret your decision(s).
When you do finally sign, you do, in fact, do what you are told. Your basic responsibilities are to follow lawful orders. That said, if you signed up during a time of war (like I did), you should know what you're getting into.
+Chris Wiley, I know the VA sucks dick (like, a lot of dick), but if you are medically _retired_ (i.e., your condition stems from something that occurred during your service), you get the benefits of someone who is retired. If you wash out of BCT and are found generally inept for duty, then they (rightfully) don't pay you a thing, especially if it's something that could have been disclosed at MEPS.
Hey Tech I met you back when you were in my home town on tour for KOD and I'm a Marine I wanted to express to you how much I appreciate you decicating a song to us. Thank you.
323 dislikes on this song. That is 323 people who have no heart. This song is beautiful. These guys put their lives n the line. Strange music puts their hearts on the line.
thats dow speak the truth
The disliked this song cuz it didnt talk about strippers money and cars idiots
As a veteran, this brought tears to my eye's and had me choked up.

i showed my uncle this song and he ended up in tears. he is thankful to be back home and he is thankful to be alive. he wishes for everyone to come back home safely, and forget the people who dislike this song, it just means the dont give a rats ass about this country.
Thank you for his service
Your uncle is a hero
I played this song and video every music therapy session in residential treatment. The most powerful emotions i can feel are felt every listen. Sober since August 13th 2021!
Man Tech's little speech at the beginning heart warming teary eyed
I've never seen Wrek so focused on the camera before. It's mesmerizing. It's like he's looking right into your eyes the whole time singing to you... That's exactly what he's doing. Singing for his people.
normally don't comment too much on things I see on here but kinda felt like I should and maybe that one person will hear.

This song represents all of our ignorance in the world, while we are having a normal life here, there are others who are struggling with their lives and wishing they can have a life like how ours is, very touching Tech9 .
Man to my grandfather i feel you Tech and Mayday for real hard.
Strange music is so underrated.
It is great that Strange Music has a huge variety of music themes.
It don't matter how many times I listen to this song, it hits me right in the feels every time.
11 years ago man this song still gets me
I haven’t heard this song in like 10 years and it’s still stands “what a world”
Thank you Tech and MAYDAY for opening up people's eyes to what pain can be for us who have or do serve over in war. You guys show that even though we feel alone that someone's always there to know the feeling and we aren't alone. If I ever get to meet you, I want to just give the biggest respect and thanks ever. THANK YOU!
¡MAYDAY! ¡EVERYDAY! Thanks Tech for supporting them and our troops, it really means so much to so many. Many blessings to you and your families
I love this song
Tech and mayday have really restored the troops after what they have been through
Tech and the rest of the strange music crew I've always loved you music I'm only 16 and I wanted to say thank you for supporting these troops they really needed it you guys have really impacted their lives
Brazil needs you tech! I love your songs, and one of my dreams is meet you and say how your songs change my live
These guys are so damn good. Wreck is an amazing artist.
I've been listening to this song in between others for the past week, RIP Robin Williams.
Tech , you touch my heart with every word that comes out of your mouth. Your so real.
One of few rappers (or famous people in general) who doesn’t view himself as above the rest. Mad respect for him for that
I love how tech feels for everyone like he knows what you have been through and every troubling thing that you have ever seen because hes been there and also I love you ¡MAYDAY! You are truth
God Bless the Troops and the musicians who took part in this.
I'd like to hear an acoustic version of this with Wreck singing the song, his singing is effortless, simple, yet meaningful.. Great song!! :)
This song is so good. I leave for USMC boot camp in June..
Good luck
good luck it ain't gonna b easy take it from a Marine but in the end it's more then worth the pain n struggle u will have
Scotty Mecone Good luck matey :)
Scotty Mecone Enjoy Prison
In need of words. The most describing is "Beautiful" simply beautiful.. This song is perfect, in every single words.
- "Yates" is the artist doing most for his fans. Personally autographing EVERY deluxe album.
PROUD TECHNICHIAN!
- Every Technician, LET'S RISE AND SHINE!
Man Tech is the GOAT for way more than just his music. Such an awesome dude. Keep it up, you are an inspiration to all.
"Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind" - JFK

My little brother is a U.S. Marine and left yesterday to fight for this country. This song just hits home for me. I am proud to have the freedom I have because of the brave people like my brother and I hope you are too.
Tech, this is an amazing song.
Thank you for helping my brothers and sisters in arms.
rest in peace to Kenneth Aleshire Jr my cousin who survived his time in Afghanistan to come back to the States and get hit by an SUV in a hit and run. Kenny was a fellow Juggalo, a good cousin, and friend to me and my brother. Rage In Paradise cuz. I love you. Whoop whoop
Sorry for your loss ninja. Whoop Whoop!

To all the soldiers that have taken their own life. 349 active duty in 2012 alone.
22 veterans a day take their own life.
mundt0331 thats terrible
As a Marine Vet this hurts me alot. Thank you tech for being a badass as you are to help vets out. I appreciate you alot.

I've tried writing this letter now,
Several times before,
When the party's over and,
The liquor is no more,
I'll tell you now that living has become somewhat a chore,
And following their rules is such a God forsaken bore,
Now I say God because I'm programmed,
But I believe in none,
I see no interventions and I see no Holy Sons,
And if I'm wrong than strike me down and break these breathing lungs,
Just take these words reverse them back upon my evil tongue,
I've seen children arm each other like it's second nature,
Some just wanna watch the world burn,
And bang upon the drums,
And that is why the music and the rhythm will live on,
Cause chaos has a melody and death is like a song,
I sing, sing out to the rafter's I sing,
Close this little chapter and I think,
This life is a disaster and it stings,
I'm trying to find a way to just sing,
Sing out to the rafter's I sing,
Close this little chapter and I think,
This life is a disaster and it stings,
You see I'm trying to find a way out,
What a world, what a world,
I'm hanging up the noose now,
Waiting for the end,
What a world, what a world,
I'm hanging up the noose now,
Waiting for the end
I went to visit wounded soldiers out on Camp Pendelton,
And the cause of the missing limbs it mean there's no love like Wimbledon,
When they sat before me young as hell and gave me accolades like gentlemen,
I'm thinking that the enemy took away their ability to walk to touch no way of rekindling,
What is now gone unless they got money like Forrest and Lt. Dan,
The war if you win a damn they have no remorse at any minute bam,
That's fucked off while we're chilling on tour on the bus getting sucked off,
Know our family is grieving 'cause war is recieving their peeps and they crying their butts off,
That's why I get so much,
When a flow bust,
Why we got it so good 'cause it's so rough,
For the young soldiers who,
Do exactly what they're told to do,
Damn, do what exactly what they're told to do,
Defend they're country and uphold the crew,
But give my one and only soul for you,
That's a hell of a job description,
I don't know if my God's with this one,
But I guess its the laws of sick men,
Send out youngin's and they fall the victim,
Of an evil clans plan,
That's why I be saying dwamn,
'Cause on 9/11 I realized the fate is another man's hands,
What a world, what a world,
I'm hanging up the noose now,
Waiting for the end,
What a world, what a world,
I'm hangin up the noose now,
Waiting for the end
When I see how my loved ones have left,
I wonder how long I would fight,
I wonder if I would give in and let the reaper lead me into night,
See I got too much pride left,
My grandmother died too early,
Reaching for moments more instead the cancer in her lungs took her from me,
We drifted naturally like two ships in the roughest of seas,
That's why this moments precious yet I'm too distant to feel it complete,
See these days I feel so disconnected,
It gets harder to drop to my knees,
I guess that's a side effect of living in generation XYZ,
Obsessed with pain and grief man I wish we were kids again,
Things were simpler than 90s incidents,
Got me losing friends to the hands of violent men, fast,
Faster than speeding bullets whizzing down alley ways,
Abruptly I'm waking up from this haze,
But only to realize the world hasn't changed,
Suddenly I'm not even fazed,
Y'all think it's the way we been raised?
Fuck it I'm sinking right back in this haze,
'Cause these could turn out to be my last todays,
With a hope and a prayer put a rope in the air,
But I'm just too scared,
Choking from the pressure when I rock this chair,
Swing back and forth and tempt death with a blank stare,
What a world, what a world,
I'm hanging up the noose now,
Waiting for the end,
What a world, what a world,
I'm hangin up the noose now,
Waiting for the end
Amanda Logan stfu
captain blueballz lol
How long took to write this? Lol just curious

Love the heart n soul in all the music by tech nina n friends keep it going break free this world! Made me cry this song. Much alohaz frm Hawaii

U shouldnt be thankful for blood being shed
"Those who wage war wont send their own kids" - Ralph smart
Now what does that tell u about humanity? my intention is not to be disrespectful but mindful that we cant have peace with war only more war and shouldnt have countries that separate humanity instead become a whole body of this world bcuz we are just cells of a bigger organism. The more we feed into war the less we have true freedom and peace.
that intro made me a little teary eyed :')
me to
This is a beautiful song. It can be hard to find others who actually know what it feels like to see the world as the way it really is. So much suffering and death and violence, and for what? Nothing but greed and gluttony.
+Jordan Collins Thats so true. Maybe sometime the world may be at peace.
This song is so sad and yet hits so hard home. And that's the saddest part. anyone allowing the words to touch their mind and heart their eyes will shine with tears even if they don't let them fall. thanks for posting this.
Damn onions.
I know man....them onions got me like T_T
Fucking onions man...
That last verse was real
Damn... These lyrics got me hard. I take my hat off to you.
What kind of a person would dislike something so deep and touching like this? It's really sad what's happened to the rap industry. This shit has an incredibly powerful message and deserves way more views than it currently has.
Will be keeping this on repeat when I eventually Deploy. Just got to my first duty base and look forward to contributing to the fight with my brothers and sisters. Great to know that my favorite artist has again, provided me with a song that helps me keep my strength through all the rough times I've had in life, and that I will have.
Considering this was shot 4 years ago...what a world. what a fucking world.
this song holds many meaning to myself for all my friends and family the have been in war and military and i must respect that there is a camp after my last name was always like O.O to me when i first listen to this song but as my last lil thought much love and respect from this clown of life to all military and military families
Why doesnt real music like this get as many views as the crap music nowadays
I ask myself that all the time. You'll just go crazy if you keep pondering it.
^^^ this
sean burrell cause mumble rappers are apparently better in the new generations retarded eyes
better than autotune bullshitters who have a total of 100 words in their so called "raps". looking at you, Drake.
I ask the same thing and for the record im 15 but seriously ever person in my school either likes mummble rap or autotune rap but yet those two are almost the same damn thing.
I'm not in the army or anything but this song hits me deep cuz it's hard to live with bullet wounds and scars, people don't see what our veterans and soldiers went thru they deserve respect and love thank tech and mayday for this song
Techs so gifted, his voice just grabs you man, you cant help but listen.
wreck can straight up sing
hell yeah
Icepikk Meckropono Wrek**
dallas4yfe We got what he was saying grammar Nazi...
He also raps better than Bernz in strangeulation cypher, why does he have Bernz
This touched my hart
heart*
like kevin hart
My uncles going to Afghan, he's twenty.
Wish him luck, well i am, I know it isn't too bad there right now.
It is just hard to know you're family is gonna go to a whole nother country alone, especially because he has been drinking himself to sleep each night, secretly he is scared, he just doesn't want us to know.
I love him and hope he will be okay(:
Much love and best of luck to everyone out there, to the navy national guard vets army everything out there, and everyone!
Much love and prayers to you all
WOW!! So powerful!! I have chills....Tech and Mayday, you both killed it!!
I like Tech because everything I've heard from him tends to stray away from sheeit this calm, but this is a nice song. Mayday nailed this sheeit. Good job fellas
can I meet u Tech N9nE? im a fan and I went to hell and still there....u guys r my idols
yeah me too tech I missed you at the last show
Wreks verse hits me too deep.
I see your comments everywhere man, we share a serious love for wrekonize lol. I love everything that dude does.
+Darth Kannabis Me too dude, i've suffered from depression for a very long time, and every word of that verse hit me deep.
same here it gets me everytime
This is actually ¡MAYDAY! feat. Tech N9ne to me more than Tech N9ne feat. ¡MAYDAY!
2020 still have to come back and listen, this the type of music I live for....
just had to say that this song still gives me chills to all who hear the message behind this were all in this together keep ur head up
This songs deep as fuck
lol no disrespect homie but by "featuring Mayday" you mean Mayday Featuring Tech N9ne. since it was originally a Mayday track and you got in on a verse Tech. keep it real fam. much love Owoh3
*****
I don't think Krizz had a verse in this
We fight so that those who do not can practice the freedoms we defend (that includes useless trolls and those anti military folk). I expect some will hate the message this song spreads but they are insignificant as Tech N9ne is conveying support and really, we did not type in name of some burger flipping military hating douche bag who has access to a computer. I am certain you do not read these but if you do thank you for making this song Tech
1st heard Tech in 2002 and all his music is genuine, this one makes my heart heavy for the men and women who have lost their life for us to live in this country free for so long. Thank you to the soldiers in any war who have given their lives to protect this country
I don't understand how such great song have only bunch of ks like, this has to be at least liked by million
I say god because im programmed, but i belive in none.
Maan fuuck🔥👀
What a fucked up world......
sad that tech and strange music aint were it should be but yet migos and all that other bull shit is toppin charts when these dudes really lyrical as hell smh
Music like this makes me wish I listened to it earlier... I had family in wars... Vietnam, WW2, some even deployed now.... There's so much emotion in this song.
i fall inlove with tech n9ne over and over and each time I hear his music I get mad butterflies every time and for that thank you for this hope
Fellow rap listeners,

Greatly appreciated if you took one minute to check out what we’ve been working on. DL

Evan Anderson mgk has a song with tech
Evan Anderson- edge of destruction. its good shit
Thanks guys
Tech has been a big influence on me for YEARS - keep doin what your doin ninna and everyone else at strange music. Much love.
I think your tracks are so raw, these types of tributes are very necessary.
I remember hearing this when it first came out, this is a powerful song I'm glad I came across it again.
I don't have anyone close in the military but this song hits me hard as hell every time I listen to it....thank you to any and all troops who fight for mine and everyone else's freedom
I was in Afghanistan in 2012, this song for sure had an impact on me. Maybe saved my life. Thank you Tech
This song has made me a stronger person over the years that ive listened to it and come back to it. I used to struggle to listen to it, just made me so sad. But man it's a beautiful song.
This is my new favorite song! Great job! Another reason for me to support strange music! I've been a fan here in Albuquerque, N.M. since the 90's
The opening verse of this song is one of the best things ever written.
I listen to this song every day because it helps me see that im not the only one in this cruel and unnatural and unusual world that feels this same way .
Hey man, I'm listening to this 50+ Mix in the background at work. I just wasn't ready for The Noose. This song in concert is SOOO EMOTIONAL!!!
"i say god cause im programmed but i believe in none" i have so much respect for you Mayday especially you Wreckonize your rapping, freestyling and singing
I keep listening to this song over and over and over....I love it so much. I love Tech N9ne
This song brings tears to my heart one of the best lyrical songs I've heard in a while teck n9ne feat mayday best song of the year
To the mom I lost months ago, R.I.P. Patti Cobb. I love you more than anything, thank you Tech For this song. I appreciate it more than anything yo.
