Ballad of Obie Trice

Lyrics

*in the background, Obie Trice playing on repeat throughout the whole song* [Intro] I'd like to reintroduce myself Haha If you don't know by now It's Obie Trice, man [Verse 1] I came from nothin', solo Straight outta the dumpster, hobo Made him a monster, I was cultivatingly slanging that coco Hated the po-po, locally known as abominable snow-o Later the big 4 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 the evenings, doing these evils Gotta eat to be cool, got a kid to feed, did it reach you? Or did it seep through? Or do I just speak through the EQ just to say I got a hot sequel? When niggas on the block gotta eat, gotta cop Gotta cop when they caught by the cops Young 2Pac'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 [Spoken] Seen it, I done ate it, I done shit it Slept it, lived it Now I spit it Shady [Verse 2] Workin' that house off an no-doze Got an ounce to roll on Tryin' to get rid of the pounds I gotta whip the bounce, I gotta put that chrome on Same old song, young nigga that's 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'mma be hugging these corners 'till these corners corner me 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'mma be here certainly With no uncertainties, yes indeed, I'mma get this cheese And that's why he's [Outro] 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've been there I see you Get up and get yours, nigga Ain't no looking back now
