Obie Trice - Mama Lyrics:
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life
I`ll be thuggin` till the day I die, this my life
You ni**as don`t know me
You can`t slow me down, you can`t hold me
So I`mma keep rollin`, rollin`, rollin`, rollin` goin` on strong
They say why you so defensive? I take that offensive
Comin` from the s**t that I lived in
You wouldn`t understand him unless you eye witness
Chillin` on the block where vacant lots are given
Women and children, missin` men in the picture
These ni**as hit up sittin` down at some center
Get a kite with a flick of a chick, he once hit up
Ridiculous but that`s us ni**as
On the corner from dusk to dawn
Till that s**t whites brought to America`s gone
Be a good Samaritan, my heritage was did wrong
So all that sufferin` that`s just prolong
Long as you knowin` that strong arm robbery
Was brought on from this society deprivin` me
This brings violence if you`re not survivin`
My environment, don`t expect you to be drivin` in
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life
I`ll be thuggin` till the day I die, this my life
You ni**as don`t know me
You can`t slow me down, you can`t hold me
So I`mma keep rollin`, rollin`, rollin`, rollin` goin` on strong
Mama worked 37 years at the plant
34 days she missed, that`s where I get my grind at
Her little ni**a, see her as father figure
Even though she got hips and tender bitch up
Show me how to maneuver snakes far as ni**as
Eleanor Trice, one real sister
Raised the kids up to be go getters
Now a ni**a living room big as an ampatheater
Got the theater ni**a, I`m from the hood
So at times I see the mirror and tell him he doin` good
Keep up my spirits `cause ni**as want him destroyed
But that`s null and void when it comes to ya boy
I`m from Detroit, Shady employee
I`m on a voyage tryna get more than royalties
Ni**as some royalty, that`s why your bitches spoil me
O T R I C E
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life
I`ll be thuggin` till the day I die, this my life
You ni**as don`t know me
You can`t slow me down, you can`t hold me
So I`mma keep rollin`, rollin`, rollin`, rollin` goin` on strong
I got visions of makin` executive decisions
But the system tells me to be realistic
You can`t do s**t with C`s and D`s
I can do the work, I`m just interested in makin` cheese
So your schools can`t control these G`s
He got his own rules and do whatever he please
At ease to my soldiers that`s feelin` Obie
Long as I know my 1, 2, 3`s I`m flippin` OZ`s
A ni**a can count like an accountant
Only difference is it ain`t checks thatta be bouncin`
It`s powder, peep what he`s pronouncin`
Now he lives next to the teacher that denounced him
Doubted him, now look at the child`s outcome
Deuce album got `em speakin` highly in volume
I assume I`m valuable, they throwin` in the towel
Bow whenever they see him rollin` at diablo
Only my mama done seen me cry, this my life
I`ll be thuggin` till the day I die, this my life
You ni**as don`t know me
You can`t slow me down, you can`t hold me
So I`mma keep rollin`, rollin`, rollin` goin` on strong
I`ll be thuggin` till the day I die, this my life
You ni**as don`t know me
You can`t slow me down, you can`t hold me
So I`mma keep rollin`, rollin`, rollin`, rollin` goin` on strong
They say why you so defensive? I take that offensive
