Obie Trice - Battle Cry Lyrics

[5 seconds instrumental]

[Intro: Adrian Rezza]
Yeeaah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeaaaah...
Battle cryyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Bridge 1: Adrian Rezza]
I've been shot by my critics
Talked about by the cynics;
Feel like my life's on display
Like the museum exhibits!
Puts my life on the liiiine
Invested years in these liiiines.
Just straight thirst and they need it,
Now hear my battle cryyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Obie Trice:]
O. - Trice - back - at it;
They don't wanna see him platinum, they just wanna see him BRAAAT'ED!
They wanna see him Tec somethin', Kwame Kilpatrick;
Get next to him so they can be the first to rat it.
Savage, - put him in a casket!
Categorize him, say: ""Cheers" was a classic. - That's it! "
As if - he ain't bring the city to the masses;
Minus Mathers, by my name is a asterisk.
Like the 'Craft ain't show 'em where the cash at,
Like my path's all half-step!
Like I ain't work the bag on the Ave,
I swear they ass backwards! - Let 'em put a nigga in the traaash!
O has fought - as you should,
Never mind a player hater long as you good.
Never change gutter! - So you can downplay my name?
O still the same. - C'mon!

[Chorus: Adrian Rezza]
Keep goin', - keep goin' oon
Keep goin', - keep goin' oooooooooooooooon!
This is my battle cryyyyyyyyyyyyy!, baaaattle cryyyyyyyyyyyy!
Keep goin', - keep goin' oon
Keep goin', - keep goin' oooooooooooooooon!
This is my battle cryyyyyyyyyyyyy!, baaaattle cryyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Bridge 2: Adrian Rezza]
I've been waitin' with patience
In the dark like a vagraaant.
It's servin' this circus
Where fans want entertainment!
My wings have been clipped,
But now I'm ready to flyyyy
In the heavens with angels
While devils wished I'd diiiiiiiieeeeeeeeed!

[Obie Trice:]
O. - Trice - back - at it;
I ain't never came wack; all I ever gave was CRACK!
All I ever gave's back,
Ain't a human being on this Earth say opposite that.
You can misconstrue what he do cause he cruise
In an automobile or two, I know how to trap.
I know how to double up, - then double back!
No matter the circumstance, he emerge from that.
Used to - serve 'em bundles, not a verse intact!
Used to - worship onions now I service rap!
But certain cats uncertain with that,
Rather see him have service, dirt nap!
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!

[Chorus x2]

[Outro: Obie Trice]
Yeah, yeah!
BME...
Obie Trice!
2011...
"Bottoms Up"...
Y'know?
Some days you the dog, some days you the hydrant.
Gotta keep it movin'!
Yeah! [22 seconds instrumental then beat stops]
