Average Man Lyrics


Ay yo I'm focused, it's the locust
O Trice is holdin' the soldiers, the prognosis
Probably why I rose from zero to hope
'Cause I was wide eyed and open nosed on my approach (Nigga)
Hold the toast you provoke
Forty-four snub hugs my scrotum when I roll, yes I hold my own
Swifty think he Deebo's clone
I'm aimin', watch I'm switchin' to Damon
And "Next Friday" I can bet you's a changed man
When them things in hand, it's not a game man
I ghost ya, I bring ya much closer to Jehovah
Definition of a soldier, I told ya
I hold the toast when I approach
It's close at all times by my side in the holster
O-ster roast ya, make me blow my composure
Pop it's all over, when the fo' fo' blows and goes aWhen I'm up in the club
And these niggas they want to act tough
'Til they get plugged

Watch them bullets go
Now you touched from a slug
Huggin' the streets like you in love
Your heart race like
The ambulance arrive
They rush you to 'spital, flyin' by my ride
Engine like, homie you just died
Your family through cryin', I pulled off a crime
Just as quick asYou could lose your face, in a fool's race
I pulled my tool first nigga, you was in second place
And second place just means you didn't react with haste
And this differentiates life where murder being the case
And since murder was the case, it just means niggas erase
Another black mother can't eat the food on her plate
'Cause she ain't got the taste, as of raising you was a waste
"Such a short span young man" said at your wake
First I'm a man, second I'm five eight, with size and weight
Won't give a nigga the upper hand
'Cause when I pop, I give this up like Barry Sand
Sit in the can, he never ran like Barry Sand
Obie ain't playin', Obie got a plan
And the plan is not to be layin' in earth's land
I will pop before decaying in earth's land
You get shot for playin' me less than a man, motherfuckerWhen I'm up in the club
And these niggas they want to act tough
'Til they get plugged
Watch them bullets go
Now you touched from a slug
Huggin' the streets like you in love
Your heart race like
The ambulance arrive
They rush you to 'spital, flyin' by my ride
Engine like, homie you just died
Your family through cryin', I pulled off a crime
Just as quick asNiggas get it twisted, liquor make 'em envision
That gangsterism is disrespecting a nigga's wishes
Which is all that tough talk in front of bitches
Yeah you fifteen deep, the Desert E'll give you stitches
And I can be all the bitches and hoes you want to
But I warn ya the glock could make it hot as California
You be popped on the corner, flesh meetin' the coroner
O's and quarantine, 'cause no holes in me,
An since no holes in me, niggaz take advantage
'Til I manage to pull that hammer out they start scattering,
I'm no gangster, I'm a average man
But be damned if I let 'em do me savage man
Before that I'm strapped and will challenge him
Cocked back and that gat will damage them
It's not a act, this is fact, this is how I'm programmed
This is me, what I'm about, this who I am motherfuckerWhen I'm up in the club
And these niggas they want to act tough
'Til they get plugged
Watch them bullets go
Now you touched from a slug
Huggin' the streets like you in love
Your heart race like
The ambulance arrive
They rush you to 'spital, flyin' by my ride
Engine like, homie you just died
Your family through cryin', I pulled off a crime
Just as quick as

Obie Trice is a rapper born in Detroit, Michigan, United States on November 14, 1977 to a single mother; Eleanor Trice. On October 5, 1998 he became the father of his only daughter, Kobie. He began rapping at the age of 11 and had a number of underground hits such as "Respect", "My Club", "Dope Jobs Homeless", and "The Well Known Asshole" before he signed to Shady Records in 2000.

Before first major release, early years on Shady Records
As an acquaintance of D12 member Bizarre, Obie was signed after a personal introduction to Eminem allowed him to impress the Detroit rap legend in-person. The general public were first introduced to Obie on D12's Devil's Night album on a skit. His one-line opener ("Obie Trice: Real name, no gimmicks" - taken from his song "Rap Name" and referring to the lack of a rap pseudonym) on Eminem's lead single; "Without Me", off the critically-acclaimed and commercially successful The Eminem Show increased public awareness of his name and slogan. Obie also appeared in the video for the song, body-slamming a dummy representing Moby. Appearances on DJ Green Lantern's official Shady Records Invasion mixtape series, allowed him to further his public recognition.

In 2002, Trice appeared in 8 Mile as one of the rappers in the Chin Tiki parking lot scene. Trice also has a featured appearance as Big Pimpin' in the Detroit made independent feature film Life Goes On, which will premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival in May 2006.

A short while before the first Invasion mixtape was released, he became involved in the Eminem-Benzino beef after being called out by Benzino with the line "Obie Trice/You's a buster" in a diss-track directed at Eminem and Shady Records. In response to Benzino, Obie released the track "Welcome to Detroit City" (a track over the beat from Cam'Ron's song "Welcome to New York City") on the first Invasion mixtape. He also joined his label-mates in the highly publicised Ja Rule-50 Cent beef but never received a direct response from Ja Rule.

Cheers
His debut album Cheers was released on September 23, 2003 with its first single "Got Some Teeth" being well received on radio in a number of countries. He also released the songs "Don't Come Down" and "The Set Up". The album consists of 17 tracks with production from Eminem, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Mike Elizondo, Emile, Fredwreck and Denaun Porter. Artists featuring on Cheers include Busta Rhymes, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg and D12 among others. The album was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA.

Second Rounds On Me
As of 2005 he has begun work on his second album, entitled 2nd Rounds On Me, which was expected later that year. Never making the 2005 calendar mark, Obie set sights on releasing it in 2006. Although the album will be released by Shady Records, it will feature a lineup primarily comprised of local Detroit rappers with decreased presence from Eminem and other Shady/Aftermath artists.

Shooting
On December 31, 2005, Trice was shot twice while driving on the Lodge Expressway by Wyoming Avenue in Detroit. One of the bullets entered his skull. Trice was able to drive off the expressway, where his girlfriend waved down police. He was taken to Providence Hospital and released later that day. Doctors are still contemplating whether or not to remove the bullet which entered his head, as it may be too dangerous to operate.

Leaving Shady Records, current situation

Obie Trice left Shady Records on June 26, 2008, because of a dispute because Interscope claimed they would not fund another Obie Trice CD. This news was first put into circulation by Hip-Hop blog Urban Lookout; a few days after they broke the news, a track (Giants) leaked confirming the rumor. Even though Obie has left Shady Records, Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg says that Eminem and Obie are still close friends, and that Eminem will still work with Obie Trice on future projects.
