Wake Up Lyrics - Second Round's On Me - Obie Trice

They say he was a monster from birth, so 

Fuck it, I'll just a lean warn-os them hoes 

I suppose O took on the street life 

Even though my mother told me I could be otherwise 

Wasn't the school type, I was too cool 

My agenda wasn't general education, nigga 

Generalizing Obie's expectations 

It was like, a cucoo in twenty-twos 

Bad news my nigga, pass the brew 

Cause in a week we be pouring a glass for you 

So rapidly homies become causualties 

We was just playing Madden 

Now a nigga sad for his family, that's how it happens 

Dudes get blasted, another casket 

Another child becomes a fatherless bastard 

Make a nigga wanna grab this rachet 

It's so tragic, and Obie can't get past it 

And you wonder why a nigga'll flash it 

Just to, show these demons that I ain't having it 

Put 'em beneathe the grass in a flash 

Homie I'm from the craft 

And to make it where I'm at, that's called Soldierism 

Real niggaz notice em, they wanna flow with 'em 

Wanna do major shows with 'em 

Get the fuck out the ghetto wit 'em 

Heavy metal, leave a nigga twisted, don't fret 

This is the set we live in 

But I ain't crying or whining about my enviornment 

Even though black folk is dying constant 

Niggaz'll shoot you unconscious 

Wit no conscience, until you lose conscience 

Conscious, and pompous white folk think I'm just rhyming 

Just designing lines, just for the sake of shining 

Like I just speak violent applying to the business I'm in 

Rewind and find him in a dirty ass hood with no sight of climbing 

Moving on up was just The Jeffersons 

Rest of us watching the tube got less then them 

So why you vexing him? Why you stretching him out? 

He got the weapon all because his whereabouts 

Born and raised, mental slaves 

And I don't see change before I'm seeing the grave 

All I see is my homies corpse decay 

Crying at his wake, can't recognize his face 

Face it, you not identifying with me 

My identity distorts ya visibility 

So you can't see me, peep what he's achieving 

You recieve information from TV 

I'm in the hood, I live it you read about it 

Rest in peace Peezy 

Please believe Obie eyes've seen The Wire 

Prior to what you seeing on the screen 

I done been in and out of the bing 

Lost niggaz to unfortunate things 

That's why, praise the Lord I'm still on the scene 

Praise the Creator who made human beings 

Just for creating a nigga like me 

A nigga that put the umph in G, yeah
