Ballad of Obie Trice Lyrics


I think this Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(I'd like to re-introduce myself, ha, ha)
Obie Trice, it is Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(If you don't know by now)
Obie Trice, Obie
(It's Obie Trice, man)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 growSo 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 youOr 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 blocksFade away, brick walls, steel gates, can't wait for the day
To be free that's why I'mObie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(Seen it, I done ate it, I done shit it)
Obie Trice, it is Obie Trice, Obie Trice

(Slept it, lived it, now I spit it)
Obie Trice, Obie
(Shady)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 that's trying to get some where I come fromFunds, need 'em in abundance, whole bunch
Only way a city boy functionIn 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, urgencyGotta 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 meObie 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'sObie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(That's why I'm, that's what made me)
Obie Trice, it's Obie Trice, Obie Trice
Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(That's why I'm)Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(Young black man in America)
Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(Get up and get yours nigga)
Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(I know you struggling man, I been there, I see you)Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(Get up and get yours nigga)
Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice
(Ain't no looking back now)
Obie Trice, Obie Trice, Obie Trice

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.
