This song gives me goosebumps. It's describes the world we live in, the way society treats us, how we can get through it using the pain as leverage to grind harder.

This song is perfection. The meaning is deep. It's about toxic people. I listened to this when I was dealing with a best friend who was toxic and it gave me some serious courage. Thank you tech n9ne. ❤

Every damn track this man puts out is unique, creative and tends to have an actual message. Tech ought be sitting on that fucking Enron type money with this much talent.

Tech is probably one of the most badass rappers to this day, better stuff than all the mumbo jumbo you hear on the radio

If this song didn't have relevance when it came out it does now more than ever. Your light grows more powerful everyday. Your harmony will spread faster than coof ever could.

I really feel this song down deep almost on a molecular level every time with every lyric…my boy tech really came through with this song

This is such a beautiful song with Ryan's vocals.

This is incredible and a really underrated collab!

He is one of the best artist out there. This song help a lot thur the the people being fake fiends, fake family , fake love for a fake world. Stay righteous and i will get all my blessing.

Tech is such a talented artist

Yea Tech can take any situation an make some positive and badass sounding music from it. True artist..

Listening in 2021 , Don't ever let everyone tear you down this related to today's issues break off what you don't need anymore like My addiction And not letting Anyone break me Stay strong 💖

This song has helped me get through a LOT. Addiction, dealing with my triggers, and my moods. Love his music

Tech is a freaking genius. I love this guy.

I really think it's impossible for this dude to make a bad song. A very SEASONED VET

the more I see and listen to this song the deeper meaning it has.

this track stopped my tears when i found out i only had minimal years left to live,i would go on but thats simple enough ,

Tech will never reach the respect he needs!! He is THE best EVER!!

Going through a rough time right now and I have this song on repeat its getting me through this 🤜🏼🤛🏼 much love and respect

This has been my song for the last couple weeks. Just got out of a really rough fucked up relationship and this song boosts me up

Tech N9ne is so real. I love all his stuff. I am thankful for his music

Lyrics Burn it down (Down), down, down, down (Down) down, down, down, down Burn it down (Down), down, down, down (Down) down, down, down, down You build me up, you build me up To watch me fall, and turn to dust Is this the place, I used to love? Can't take no more, I've had enough So burn it down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Burn it down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down They lift you up and preach you Then try to pull you down and beat you They're no longer peaceful Never knew a buddy would become see-through Make it up so high, they can't reach you They just feel the wind beneath you Camaraderie's a plum oddity, with some modesty People abolish he who lovin' me never a dollar tree wanted But they wanna demolish me, question mark When they know I'm blessed at heart Try to test Tech when I poke at they chest and bark Givin' my blood, sweat, tears and flesh in art But they come in my circle and make a mess, then dart I feel like they wishin' for me to be dissin' so they can be quick and then witness me (falling down) Gotta know that'll never happen, forever rappin' So burning it down is the mission Dismissin' got a brand new condition, I'm (balling now) Kill 'em in a really clever fashion You build me up, you build me up To watch me fall, and turn to dust Is this the place, I used to love? Can't take no more, I've had enough So burn it down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Burn it down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Why would a good businessman sign a artist And he really believes he rhymes the hardest And spend a lot of money and time just to start it And you think he don't want you to make it sounds ret Uh, Trav ain't the target, I ain't the puppet If you got negativity boy, you better tuck it Givin' everything and they trippin', I had enough It took me a while for this menace and now, fuck it Give 'em a record deal, plus the CDs Take 'em all on tour to give 'em the ups Put 'em on my record, I do my verse and then I send it to them so I can give 'em the ups In the long run, they ain't givin' a fuck Said I ain't takin' care of my day ones If I wasn't, they wouldn't wait to spray guns Makin' the people think I'm wrong is way dumb, nigga Now I'm tired, hearing my empire's (falling down) But it's really the opposite, and I've got a clear So many more Os, fake family, fake friends, and foes (crawling now) But Tech N9na's outta here You build me up, you build me up To watch me fall, and turn to dust Is this the place, I used to love? Can't take no more, I've had enough So burn it down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down Burn it down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down It's the reason, me and Trav never had to say "We're sorry" in this business 'Cause we believe if you stay righteous, you'll receive all your blessings

I’ve listened to this track many times, but I really feeling it lately! Great choice with Ryan!

As for my previous decisions in life this song made me realize how much i messed up and missed out on so for anyone out there listen to this song and think about a realizations moment and start living your life to a point where it fulfills its(your) purpose.

Its been amazing to watch this man bloom like none other, I can only pray that I become as much of an influence to my peers as this man is to me

Just got done seeing Tech at the revolution concert house in Garden City Idaho, so awesome, epic rapper!

Everytime I feel mad, angry, hopeless or even worthless TECH9 was always blasting through my earphones, speakers at its highest volume and gaze into nothing. His musik makes me feel hyped and ready to get up again and keep on keeping on🤙

Aaron is super talented and he makes incredible music because he speaks from the heart!

#1 rapper in the world. In my book.

Love the 2nd verse, great song

He has many, but he outputs more than most. Thats the beauty of it though, tech doesn't care, he makes the music he wants

Fake friends, fake family, fake love, for a fake world.

got this on repeat forever

Jun 3rd 2020 more meaningful to me than ever..

Tech ur a mechanical lyricistical mechanic of mechanical of words ur a beast no hands down I've seen twice with no disappointments

"When a good business man signs an artist, and he really believes he rhymes the hardest, spent a lot of money and time, just to start it, and you think he don't want you to make it sound reta--- uh, Trav ain't the target" Fucking lmfao

How do these guys keep doing it? Constantly making new songs that sound completely unique.

damn man, everything tech9 puts out is badass. 1.9M views isnt enough

2/14/2023 this song is just as fire as when tech introduced it!!! Strange music family. I would LOVE to see tech and Tom mcdonald produce some sick sounds, and messages

Probably the most catchiest chorus 😍😍 and tech as always murdered this joint🔥🔥🔥❤❤

The only dude who can make flapping your arms like wings look cool.

you saved my life

Never gets old.. absolutely legendary

The chills thru my whole body. .I needed to hear this

perfection

de lo mejor que se puede escuchar hoy en dia... Tech simplemente hace magia!!

This song is when you find out the truth about someone else who gaslights you to care about in real life, and to everyone else looks like a Hero at first, because you know the truth, and they know it.

Tech N9ne always get played in my gaming sessions... This song is 🔥

thank God for tech

I just want to say I've been a fan for well over a decade 😂😂. The sound has changed a bit but you have got to be one of the most lyrically inclined artists I've ever heard and that's not just a hip hop I listen to all genres of music radiohead's one of them Jim Morrison there's a lot of lyrically inclined artists out there but you have stayed true for over 20 years its incredible god be with you brother it's been amazing watching and listening to how far you've come!

Tech! Love ya dude! Ryan Bradley, too! So much love! Happy 2018!

RIP Tech 9. An artist before his time.

Sooo cool. Reminds me of the movie 300

Who is listening in 2019? I'm am listening in 2019

Thank you Tech and Ryan. I listen to this song daily multiple times. When you give it your all and and get nothing but negativity, all I can think is Burn it Down. Iv had enough, So burn it down.

What a great song

this should have 1m views. maybe one day, it earned it.

Phenomenal...2018-2019 Justice for Me.

i think this different from Tech's usual idea of STRANGE,but i find this a very great track,i remember when i first herard it I had it on repeat for about 2 hrs straight,then when i logged off it put me in great mood ;)

I love this song from tech n9ne!

"But they wanna demolish me, question mark When they know I'm blessed at heart Try to test Tech when I poke at they chest and bark Givin' my blood, sweat, tears and flesh in art But they come in my circle and make a mess, then dart" jesus, thats a good rhyme

A true prophet in the voice of artists! He is living what every artist dreams of just raw I do this because I love this s***!! I hate to admit it but for years I didn't listen to tech because I was jaded by the media and when the ex of mine got me hit first interested it was Hook line sinker from that moment forward

This is why Tech is Tech and your fans appreciate your many masterpiece collaborations !!!!

Damn this shit is 🔥this is my 10th time listening to this song I heard all of techs songs all of em are awesome

" they just feel the wind beneath you "

Awesome song!!!!!

Gave me goose bumps they constantly be knocking you down.. Until you can't take that shit no more art is supposed to create emotion

tech looks like the black version of Kratos Edit: I appreciate all the likes lol 😂

Man, i cant stop from rapping and getting deep into every single song! I love it and i would give anything just for the chance to talk to tech nine because even if i never got to rap with him... Man! what i could learn from him... or just how much amazement id be in that he wanted to talk to me for any particular reason. Like i dont wanna fuck the guy but like on a mental level, i think we would get along famously.

Man meeting u at a meet and great best moment of my life don’t stop being you

Tech is dope no matter what track he's on, even on feature tracks he takes over, would love to meet him one day, seems like a down to earth and super clever dude, no to mention crazy talented

When people talk about the rap GOAT it seems like biggie and pac are the sexy answers to give, with jay and nas somewhere in the mix too, but honestly I think Em and Tech have surpassed all of them, and if you look at it objectively it's not even that close. I dont think people realize that both of them were contemporaries of pac's, the sheer longevity of their careers is mind boggling when you stop and think that they're both now collaborating with their 3rd generation of artists and still killing it.

perfection!❤

I’ve listened to Tech for years. But was recently diagnosed with cancer, as much as I accept the possibility of a bad outcome… I’m still going to show how strong I can really be.

Love you tech you got me through some hard that's for damn sure I've got almost like every single CD released

whoop whoop juggalos still alive tech dont forget this!!! we still here!!

Left work feeling thiz shyt!

Got a call I got cancer today... songs like this keep the trigger from been pulled....

This track is timeless 😊

Tech makes timeless music and is forever a legend!!! 2019 and STILL bangin his shxt like it's new

So we just going to ignore with the the fact that the second verse is specifically about kutt Calhoun?

One of my fav tech songs!

I love this song so much!

An Elton John nod. Didn't see that comin!

my empire falling down but its the opposite is that like going in, to come out.

I remember putting in the CD of special effects and he quoted Bob Marley at the end of this song, me and my friend still love Tech N9ne to this day! Much appreciated for all the love

tech is the fucking man, always slept on, forever underrated.......

We, as humans, have a tendency to take perverse pleasure in watching individuals that have risen to the top and gained notoriety be pushed down and grouped with the depraved. In some cases, the individual deserves to be grouped with the depraved. Take for example Trump, Hitler and O. J. Simpson. What we fail to realize, we were the reason they rose to the heights they did. Other times, those who have gained great heights are constant targets for criticisms and false accusations by individuals who helped build them up. Tech does a great job addressing this issue here and that's why I am a fan and delight in building him up. :)
