"With a hope and a prayer, put a rope in the air, but I'm just too scared, chokin' from the pressure, will I rock this chair, swing back and forth, and tempt death with a blank stare" Holy shit... Deepest verse I have ever heard...

This song is so deep especially Tech's verse they need to play this song more to spread this message

I'm a vet I did a tour in Iraq I did so others wouldn't have to but yes there are vets who deserve more for the sacrifices I'm glad there are people who truly appreciate those sacrifices and understand how ass backwards this country has gotten thank you for speaking up for vets

This song along with many others have helped me so much. I know it seems messed up to say but it’s true. As a vet and a survivor I fought with my demons many times and am still trying to fight them off today. Tech N9ne I had the opportunity to meet you back in 08 during the strictly strange tour in Colorado Springs. You have helped me so much with my struggles and your music has continued to save my life!

Tech's got so much emotion in this song I love it. He's truly amazing.

This song is deep. I love it. In all honesty it brings me to tears because of its relation to my own story.

I lost my niece the day before Christmas Eve last year. She took her own life the in a way the hook of this song goes.... It's very bittersweet to her this now. I can only think tho, "Stay with us! Your time to shine is coming. Trust!" Thank you Strange Music for helping me get through my day. Idk how many times I wouldn't have made it through the day without y'all's music

This song has resonated with me for years even in 2022 it stills helps to cope with too many incidents that haunt, I thank this whole label for existing, and to mayday for the opening verse that lives forever in my mind.

I heard this song for the first time ever just now. Ugly-cried at 8 in the morning as I've been really struggling to cope with this world lately. Thank you for your voices, Tech and Mayday, you beautiful human beings. ❤

So many tributes to soldiers are made by artists, but this one hits so deep. It hits in the inner soul, and even now after years of being out, it bring me back to it all, and helps me face he reality. Even today, the guilt of knowing that there are those that I called brothers are suffering, here I am partying and just existing. I haven't cried in so long, but now I shamelessly do because every damn word is so damn true. All I can say is sorry I failed those I once called brother.

Damn 2020 makes this song hit 10xs deeper.

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 foresaken 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 the words reverse them back upon my evil tongue, I've seen children arm eachother 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, 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 hangin 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 and 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 our 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 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 to early, Reaching for moments more but instead the cancer in her lungs took it from me, We drift, 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, Some of ya'll not even fazed, Y'all think it's the way we been raised? Fuck it I'm sinkin right back in this haze, 'Cause thesecould turn out to be my last today, With a hope and a prayer put a rope in the air, But I'm just too scared, Chokin from the pressure will I rock this chest, 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 Read more: Tech N9ne - The Noose Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Damn, I'm almost crying. My brother is a marine on his second deployment to Afghanistan right now. This song (especially Tech's verse) really makes me think of how real their sacrifice is. They are the people that offer their own life in return for the salvation of others who are no better. I have absolutely no respect for anyone who disrespects the armed forces. Support Our Troops!

This is why I fell in love with rap. Cause rap songs say something. Nice theme. A message, not only rhyming words.

Shout out to all vets who have put there lives on the line for our freedom much appreciated I will forever be grateful much love from military u.s.a san anto tejas 🇲🇽🇵🇷

this is such a underrated song, its fucking awesome

I love this song. Listen to it at least once or twice a day. I takes the thoughts out of my head and turned to a song. I'm glad someone else out there understands what we are going through.

"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" Bernz verse gives me goosebumps every damn time. And it's the best one in the song in my opinion

I have a son that's a Marine. This song is wonderful. To all of our Vietnam Vets. WELCOME HOME. TO ALL OF OUR VETS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE,. MAY GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE GIVE YOU CONTINUED BLESSINGS, AND GIVE YOU PEACE.

Tech, Wrekonize & Bernz did an amazing job with this song, deserves more attention.

Wrek has to be my favourite Strange music Artist excluding Tech. He's just so lyrically capable and has the voice to go with it.

"cause chaos had a melody and death is like a song I sing"

Had a noose that i hung from our chimney 5 years ago where i listened to this song 20 times contemplating life. Things got better temporarily but life has brought me back to this song and the noose is still hidden in my garage ready to go up at anytime. Life just isnt for some people

Damn, this song is deep. And its amazing how Tech N9ne can rap with such a somber tone and make it sound so smoot.

Just rediscovered this song recently ... Damn this hits hard! Especially with all the crazy shit that's going on in the world right now...

I’ve always had suicidal thoughts. Nobody knows about it. I’ve never said it out loud. Somehow this song helps me sort out all my emotions and I just accept it. Soak in my own internal pain and suffering. I just want to leave this world because my soul doesn’t belong here. But I can never carry out what is in my mind because of my mother watching over me and my amazing father still with me. I could never put my suffering into them.

I know I don't matter to any of you but thank you to tech n9ne and wreck for this gorgeous music that makes me feel better even though it's my birthday and I've nobody. I love you all.

This song hits hard at home and not the vets but the fact of suicide itself. It's never easy getting over it by yourself. Wish everybody finds help somehow and never get thru it alone like I did

Wish Wrekonize had a longer or another verse.

being a combat veteran this song hits hard. to me personally i can handle what i did overseas but being home makes it so much harder. i miss it, i can't cope with not having the stress of life or death everyday which is the weirdest feeling one can imagine

Been listening to Tech for almost a decade. First time hearing this song. I love the fact that Tech and Strange Music can always blow my mind. So talented! This song is beautiful

Just the fact that Tech made this song shows his true nature and his talent. He will give a voice to those who deserve one. He really is the one and only rap god!

Amazing! Strange Music is LIFE

This song hits home for me, so deep and wrekonizes voice is the shit!! Mayday is dOpe ppl are sleepin on mayday

As a United States Marine, I have no problem with Tech rapping about Soldiers, Marines, and what they go through. All I see is him thanking the troops and respecting us, so I don't think civilians have a say in him rapping about us.

Dying from a rare skin disease. I can't walk outside into the sun or even do anything physical without my body overheating. The pain has become crippling to the point I can be hospitalized if I try to enjoy simple things everybody takes for granted. I Can't even hold down a job anymore because of this. This song is a perfect song to check out early too.

Just when you think you have heard all the EXTREMELY DEEP hip-hop song's..I stumble across this..

first time listening to it.....this just became my favorite song

" Defend the country and uphold the crew and give my one and only soul for you. Thats a hell of a job desctiption i dont know if my gods with this one" very well said 🐐

My son introduced me to this song a few years ago. Hurts my heart every time I listen to it. Thank you for the words Tech N9ne

I got goosebumps at Tech's line.. So great..

To me as a former soldier both Tech, and Wrekonize nailed it. Thank you. And what Wrekonize verse does state, I have to say that is how it is everyday for some.

Tech n9ne wasnt going to be on this song...but he heard mayday practicing it and he knew it was perfect song to shout out respect to all the soldiers.

tech thank you for always shining light on that which they want hidden and giving a voice to those of us who have none

This song is a masterpiece

this song makes me cry every time

Tech N9ne is so talented and goes hard in his song but this song he really blew my mind with .

havent listened to this song in ten years. wow im getting old

"faster than speeding bullets down ally ways then I wake from this haze to realize the world hasn't changed" wow deep

Smoke some weed an listen to it with an open mind. This some real shit.

1.9 million views in 12 years is such a tragedy. This song deserves way more attention than it gets.

Bernz is speaking to my soul. The world hasn't changed.

Goosebumps for days

ay yo tech if your seeing this i respect all you do technicians for life!!!!!!!!!

Accurate on how the world feels for me. What a world we live in man. A beautiful yet damned planet.

This is the life of America's youth, we fight, bite the bullet and lose a tooth. Wounds aren't always visible, Indivisible is the way we stand, hand in hand, we have lost and died for our land. Love U Tech.

Tech n9ne's verses in my opinion is the best and deepest

this is the only thing that stops me from...

2022 and this song still pulls me through the most

Who the hell would think to dislike this song........this is the best song so far in 2012!

Such a powerful song. 2020 here and all I can think of when I listen to this now is all the sad shit going on in the world right now to start this year off. Australian wildfires, possible World War 3, the plane crashing in Iran. The world we live in is full of evil and this song right now hits deep. I'm at awe seeing the fact that Tech puts in so much support for his troops, it gets me sitting here giving a minute thinking if he's visited his troops again for his support in this world war 3 America vs Iran crap. Much respect Tech, all the footage of you visiting them is just amazing. And I bet they really respect you doing so. It probably means alot to them, I bet some of them it means everything. ♥️^S^♥️

Anyone still bumping this in 2019? 🔥

Technician fo lyfe STRANGE fo ever. Thanks to all the troops both past and present

Haven't got chills like this from a song in a long time

real recognize real! we hanging ourselves as a society.. Great song

Tech wrote this for our soldiers not you so let it go. Unless you have ever felt suicidal I doubt you would appreciate this song. I do and it makes me cry everytime.

"What a World" Thank You to all of our "Service Members" Around the World We Truly are the Lucky Ones

I cannot get enough of this song. As a proud Navy Midshipmen, I thank you for the great music.

my aunt died in 9\11 and so did my sister she was only 6 may they rest in peace and my uncle is in the army my grandpa is in the Marines

I love this song! Best regards from Macedonia

THATS RIGHT TECH N9NE.... YOU ALWAYS GET DOWN ON YOUR JAMS

We all do exactly what they want us to do. But nothing but respect to vets and those who have deticated their lives to our country.

I have alot to relate with this song....

Whoa this was too deep. Made my fkn eyes water

I get chills listening to this . Who could ever dislike such song dedicated to our soldiers

Thanks for your service to this country filled with many people who dont really appreciate what you do.

U can only understand this song if u ever wanted to hang ur noose down

My best friend killed himself yesterday and i came across this song and it made things a little better

this hit me right at the core.... the goosebumps i felt were almost painful..

Damn this song still hit home years later

Who dislikes this type of emotion 😪😪

Shittest part about all this is that vets are just used, this country just throws them aside. No reason professional sport players should be far better off than vets.

Bernz kills this shit and the hook is one of the dopest I've heard in a long time

Love how tech sang about the military, that's awesome! We complain well we sit on our couch eating and watching TV well they are in front of enemy lines putting there life in jeaporady everyday for the freedom of our country.

When people compare Eminem and Tech N9ne there's always a shitload of hardcore fans saying "no fuck you they can't be compared ____ is way better" but actually they are similar. Both of them are so different from the rest of the mainstream bullshit and are so skilled. Whenever they're on a verse with other rappers they kill it. Nobody can touch these guys. Eminem however is much more successful than Tech. Doesn't mean they don't both deserve respect for the skill they have.

life is fucked up

We need music like this now more that ever 😥 #strangemusicbaby

Respect for Techn N9ne going out there supporting our troops, giving them a show dedicated to them. Respect to all the Branches!

"That's why I be saying Dwamn"

2019 anyone?

I started loving this tune ever since it dropped. Tech's verse is is SO solid.

Tech,Slaughterhouse,Lupe..its been a while since I've been this happy with the music industry

check my feed for a POV video of his performance in KUWAIT during this tour. crazy to see that it was featured in the official video .

.... 2018.

Coming Back To This After some Years and Some Things just to Say ., What A World..

i thought i was going to have to start a youtube way. tech and chamillionare are the two most underappreciated artists of the 2000's

Fucking love this song.. Who's the dude that sings? His voice is so nice and relaxing

Mayday looks like ice cubes son

I can’t believe it’s been 11 years.

Man.. Ik this song is about our soldiers but damn it hits home... 4 years ago i slit my wrists so bad i got 17 stitches my mother who was 8 months pregnant found me in a puddle of my own blood barely hanging onto life...... Nothing hits home more than the verse "im hanging up the noose now, waiting for the end."
