Being embraced by a woman that's a queen |
| [00:23.92] |
With big dreams for the younger sibling |
| [00:26.21] |
|

According to report cards Obie brought home |
| [00:31.14] |
They say good in spelling |
| [00:32.76] |
Spelling bee's always excelling |
| [00:34.37] |
Which was so overwhelming that Momma took him shopping |
| [00:37.86] |
Copped him the new Jay's |
| [00:39.24] |
Swear to God homie this was Obie's cool days |
| [00:41.98] |
BMX'ing up the block with the tennant living next to him |
| [00:45.04] |
Shooting hopes who got hops |
| [00:46.54] |
Worthy when he pop a jump shot |
| [00:49.28] |
No worries just a pocket full of sugar or whatnot |
| [00:52.28] |
Hit the candy house on the block |
| [00:54.52] |
It was pickle in them spot |
| [00:55.96] |
Then things turn around when Obie'll lay down |
| [00:59.58] |
Hear the sounds of fire rounds surrounded em |
| [01:02.76] |
Astounded him the volume of the blast had me so interested |
| [01:07.44] |
Momma falling with cash she can't get a nigga in this bitch |

| [01:38.45] |
Scrapping with them niggas from the other side |
| [01:40.63] |
Sipping Saint Ives rocking old school flannels |
| [01:43.37] |
Old school niggas see that I'm an animal |
| [01:46.31] |
Front me at 16 see how my roll handle |

Plus my P O got a nigga pissing in a bowl |
| [01:59.10] |
Hold my temperment cuz I see such innocence |
| [02:01.47] |
When I'm looking in Kobe's pupils |
| [02:03.22] |
Despite all the dope I sold I had to change my road |
| [02:07.15] |
I just might be able to grow old |
| [02:08.47] |
|
| [02:09.41] |
Older brother said "Yo O |
| [02:11.09] |

| [02:13.78] |

Saved up my chips and put it into music |
| [02:22.39] |
"Well Known Asshole" a underground hit |
| [02:24.32] |
Still scrambling looking like shit |
| [02:27.32] |
Baby momma think I'm smoking more then a spliff |
| [02:30.06] |
Think a blessing came from the man who invented my gift |
| [02:33.43] |
When Eminem said "let me hear you spit" |
| [02:35.49] |
Wrote my signature now Shady Obie represents |
| [02:38.24] |
Hit em with the D12 skit |
| [02:40.48] |
Can exhale now I see my Mom's ain't pissed |
| [02:42.92] |
She hit em with a smile cuz Obie became focused |
| [02:45.91] |
From independent out the trunk like them dope kids |
| [02:48.47] |
To platinum plaques world tours getting noticed |
| [02:50.98] |
An inappropriate soldier became so ferocious |
| [02:53.40] |
In this Hip-Hop culture that I long for |
| [02:56.08] |
The roller coaster O was on so young |
| [02:58.46] |
Took a turn right into his song |
| [03:00.52] |
That's right from after school fights |
| [03:02.76] |
To pushing white to pursuing his career heights |
| [03:05.57] |
One mic's all I need involved with beats |
| [03:08.75] |
I'mma be the streets to Jesus cars on me |
| [03:11.43] |
And that'll be the day you applaud and see |
| [03:13.74] |
The underdog gets his eventually |
| [03:15.68] |
|
| [03:16.30] |
Gotta end it though |
| [03:18.18] |
I'm all in it there's no limits |
| [03:20.48] |
And it's so splendid |
| [03:21.98] |
Real names no gimmics |
| [03:23.29] |
No image just a soldier who spoke what he lived |
| [03:27.28] |
From the ribs with it the flows vintage |
| [03:29.53] |
Obie gotta do this for real |
| [03:32.28] |
Yeah |
| [03:33.52] |
Obie Trice |
