Ballad Of Obie Trice

[Chorus]

O, O, O, O, O

I think this

Obie Trice [7X]

O, O, O, O

[Obie Trice: talking over chorus]

I'd like to reintroduce myself, haha

If you don't know by now. It's Obie Trice man

[1st verse]

I came from nothing solo, straight outta the dumpster hobo

Made up my monster, I was cultivatingly slanging that cocoa

Hated the po po, locally known as abominable snow-o

Later the pig fo' rated the home where I made the dough grow

So on and so fo', the story of us urban negros

Created as equals we wouldn't have to be so eager to mistreat you

We as a people heated in evenings doing these evils

Gotta eat you, be cool, got a kid to feed that'll reach you

Or did it see thru? Or do I just speak thru the EQ just to say I got a hot sequel

When niggaz on the block gotta eat, gotta cop, gotta cot when they caught by the cops

Young Tupac's, laid in the box or they age in a cell blocks, fade away

Brick walls, steel gates, can't wait for the day to be free, that's why I'm

[Chorus]

[Obie talking over chorus]

Seen it, I done ate it, I done shit it

Slept it, lived it, now I spit it

Shady

[2nd verse]

Working that house off an no-doze, got an ounce to roll on

Trying to get rid of the pounds, I gotta whip the bounce, I gotta put that chrome on

Same old song, young nigga thats trying to get some where I come from

Funds, need 'em in abundance, whole bunch, only way a city boy function

In conjunction with selling this substance

Chips stay up, fuck it, glucks keep coming, take another pie out the oven

I'ma be hugging these corners till these corners corner me

But currently, I'm calculating this currency, urgency

Gotta earn a G, uphearnestly, up early when the birds'll sing

It's an emergency, never did occur to me, that the first and the third'll be

Such a thirst for me, life almost took a turn for the worst for me took to see

I finally had a purpose on Earth's surface the seed that was birthing me

[Obie] Gotta do a little soul searching and [Obie] myself personally

And to think all Em had to hear is one verse from me

To confirm and unblur my dreams

Best believe since burst on the scene, I'ma be here certainly

With no uncertainties, yes indeed, I'ma get this cheese and that's why he's

[Chorus fades out]

[Obie talking over chorus]

That's why I'm

That's what made me

Haha

That's why I'm

Young black man in America

Get up and get yours nigga

I know you struggling man, I been there

I see you

Get up and get yours nigga

Ain't no looking back now
