Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Okay

Walk right up in the room like fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
Lookin' like it's all good but fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
And I really wish a nigga would say fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
And you could be just like me say fuck er'body
Er'body but me
Er'body but me

Er'body but me
Finna go up
Er'body but me say fuck er'body
Okay

K-C-M-O
Born and raised if you ain't get the memo
Slippin' in my city is a N-O
We put down a demo, then go stuffing them hoes in a limo
Cause they said they serving more jaw then Jay Leno
What they seein' walk through the doors, winners
Haters muggin' us because they hoes, grinners
Sinners better simmer when thinking they want to chin us
Better remember it ain't nothing but rogue in us
Steppin' out with Tech Nina, yes sir, weather remains, wetter she came
Next thing you know, mayne, that girl want everything, everything
When it's playing she saying this my shit
That's why they be waiting in line to kiss my grip
Offer true paid dues, I'm not selfish
But you may lose, if I could help it
Step into this Piru made grove wearing the opposite of blue suede shoes, Elvis

Walk right up in the room like fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
Lookin' like it's all good but fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
And I really wish a nigga would say fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
And you could be just like me say fuck er'body

Finna go up
Er'body but me
Say fuck er'body
Okay

We drinkin'
Why you wonder why your woman winkin'
Trip with us you're headed for extinction
We just bringing brinks in
To buy the bar get everybody drinkin'
People looking salty must be smokin' Jesse Pinkman
Er'body, but me
Lookin' broke and, dusty
That's how your lady look at me, that's why she wanna, cuff me
I'm gonna shine never, rusty
Every year I come back with another one they never gonna, hush me
She wanna get close to touch a strange jam
She say you don't remember me 'cause I just became slim
Ah ye, ye, ye, ye, ye
That's right I know you from, um so and so what's her name 'n'em?
They know Tech Nina is always coming hotter than, hell's pit
And I'm steady drinking like I'm a, Celtic
Why they trippin' with me? 'Cause now I'm dipping with she
And I'm gonna give her what she need, pelvis

Walk right up in the room like fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
Lookin' like it's all good but fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
And I really wish a nigga would say fuck er'body but me (er'body but me)
And you could be just like me say fuck er'body
Er'body but me

Overall Meaning

Tech N9ne's song Everybody But Me is a commentary on how he feels about other people around him. He walks into the room with the view of disregarding everyone else's presence, making it look like he doesn't care about them. The lyrics "fuck everybody but me" in the chorus show what he thinks about everyone else, and this is reinforced by the line "and I really wish a nigga would say fuck everybody but me." He wants to be the only one who gets respect and doesn't want anyone else to distract him from his goals or his sense of self-worth.

The song is not entirely focused on the idea of domination or arrogance; there is also a reference to Tech N9ne's hometown, Kansas City, Missouri. Being born and raised in Kansas City, he feels a strong attachment to his city, and he disapproves of anyone who is not on his side in this regard. He also refers to a group of people who are envious of him and his team, as he describes them as "haters" who are only smirking because they cannot match his achievements.

In summary, Tech N9ne's Everybody But Me is a declaration of independence and self-love. He looks down on other people and the envy around him while holding tight to his pride and his success. Through this song, Tech N9ne challenges the idea of one not taking themselves seriously and focusing on their goals, while also throwing some shade at those envious people who put their opinions in his way.
