| 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
|
| 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
|
| Keep going, keep going on
|
| Keep going, keep going on
|
| This my battle cry, battle cry
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Keep going, keep going on
|
| Keep going, keep going on
|
| This my battle cry, battle cry
|
| BME, Obie Trice, 2011, Bottoms Up

| You know
|
| Some days you the dog, some days you the hydrant
|
| Gotta keep moving |
