[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
|
