[Intro: Adrian Rezza]
|
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
|
Battle cry
|
|
I've been shot by my critics
|
Took the bout by the cynics
|
Feel like my life's on display
|
Like the museum exhibits
|
|
Puts my life on the line
|
Invested years in these rhymes
|
[?] street's thirst and they need it
|
Now hear my battle cry
|
|
[Verse 1: Obie Trice]
|
O-Trice, back, at it
|
They don't wanna see him platinum
|
They just wanna see him pratted
|
They just wanna see him tec something
|
[?]
|
Get next to him
|
So they can be the first to rat it
|
Savage, put him in a cascet
|
Categorize him, say Cheers was a classic
|
That's it, as if
|
He ain't bring the city to the masses
|
Minus Mathers, but my name is astrous
|
Like the [?] ain't shown them where the cash at
|
[?]
|
O has fucked[?], as you should
|
Never mind a player hater, as long as you could
|
Never change, gutter
|
So you can downplay my name, O still the same
|
Come on
|
|
[Hook: Adrian Rezza]
|
Keep going, keep going on
|
Keep going, keep going on
|
This my battle cry, battle cry
|
[x2]
|
|
Waiting with patience
|
In the dark like a vagrant
|
Determining this circus
|
[?] want entertainment
|
My wings have been clipped, but now I'm ready to fly
|
In the heavens with angels
|
While devils wished I died
|
|
[Verse 2: Obie Trice]
|
O-Trice, back, at it
|
I ain't never came whack
|
All I ever gave's crack
|
All I ever gave's back
|
Ain't a human being on this earth saying opposite that
|
You can misconstrue what he do
|
Cuz he cruise in an automobile
|
[?]
|
I know how to double-up
|
Then double platinum
|
No matter the circus stands, see I emerge from that
|
Used to serve the bundles, now the verse intact
|
Used to worship onions, now I service rap
|
The certain cat's uncertain with that
|
They'd rather see him service, dirtnap
|
Like I deserve them curses
|
Like I don't speak in cursive
|
Like I ain't got a purpose
|
Beast of the streets
|
Dope stay on O-Trice's person
|
|
[Hook: Adrian Rezza]
|
Keep going, keep going on
|
Keep going, keep going on
|
This my battle cry, battle cry
|
[x3]
|
|
[Outro: Obie Trice]
|
BME, Obie Trice, 2011, Bottoms Up
|
You know
|
Some days you the dog, some days you the hydrant
|
Gotta keep moving
|
