Obie Trice - Bottoms Up (Intro) Lyrics

[Intro:]
Yeah! [4 seconds instrumental]
I'd like to thank you all for purchasing the new Obie Trice album!
It's well appreciated.
I'd like to thank you all for coppin' my classic, "CheerS"...
"The Seconds Round's On Me".
It's well appreciated...
No doubt!
Detroit City stand up!

[Verse 1:]
They say when a nigga for testin'
They say that - he stay kept with a Smith & Wesson.
Story tells his accomplishment's a blessin'!
Now that's what the f*ck I call a' urban legend.
When a verse - kept him from - servin' corrections,
Turf he slept in had notorious conditions.
All of symptoms that'll send me to prison,
Yet, he had a vision. - And since then
I've witnessed those visions
A' eye witness - to put sense into it. - Y'all ain't listenin'!
Get it? - I hate to keep twisting 'em!
My mind ventures, I spit with conviction;
Nothin' fabricated or based of falsism!
Simply kickin' what's living in O. Trice's system! - Come on!

[Interlude:]
I wanna thank Shady Records for...
Backin' me up for... all those years!
Nigga, EMINEM!
Paul Rosenberg... Riggs Morales!
Nigga, Dro!
I wanna thank all my...
Labelmates, D12, 50Cent, G-Unit!
Stat Quo...
Bobby Creek' and Ca$his!
It's been one hell of a run!

[Verse 2:]
Album number truces, found him in the booth astoundin'
With Dre poundin' the beat machine.
O. Trice, ain't nothin' deletin' him!
'Scope? - Couldn't distort my evenin'! - We are the elite - machine!
Niggas is ass backwards, thinkin' they in the class, as if
And have access to these type of masses!
When I seen this massive
From a black teen with dreams of bein' this rapper.
What happened - is that he slipped between the cracks;
Brought to your ears all the years I've captured.
Re-appeared after "CheerS", the classic,
"Second Round's On Me" showed you O mastered it!
Cause Obie not an act' in this shit;
Actually, it's action show you no different.
I'm a be a victim on the set that I lived in;
Till I die - it's Obie Tri'!
Try to understand
This psychological span
From servin' them grams to servin' them fans.
That's right! Obie hurtin' them, man. [beat fades-out]
