Lyrics for Album: Second Round's on Me [2006]
"Mama"
[Chorus][Trey Songz]
Only my mama done see me cry, this my life
I'll be thuggin til' the day that i die, this my life
you niggas dont know me, you can't slow me down
you can't hold me, hustle, ima keep rollin, rollin, rollin'
goin on strong
[Verse: 1][Obie Trice]
They say why are you so defensive?
I take that offensive, comin from the shit I lived it
You wouldn't understand'em unless you were an eye witness
chillin' on the block where vacant lots are given
Women and children missin men in the picture
cuz niggas sitt up, sittin down in some centre
get a kite with a flick of a chick he once her
rediculous but thats us niggas
on the corner from dusk til dawn
til' that shit whites brought to americas gone
be a good semeratin my heritage was did wrong
so all the sufferin thats jus prolonged
jus as long as u know that strong arm robbery
was brought on by society deprivin me
This brings violence if ya not surviving
my environment, dont expect to be drivin in it.
[Chorus][Trey Songz]
Only my mama done see me cry, this my life
I'll be thuggin til' the day that i die, this my life
you niggas dont know me, you can't slow me down
you can't hold me, hustle, ima keep rollin, rollin, rollin'
goin on strong
[Verse: 2][Obie Trice]
Mama worked 37 years in a plant, 34 days she missed
thats where i get my grind at
her little nigga ?? father figure
even though she has hips and tends to bitch up
show me how to manuvor snakes false niggas
Elinor Trice, one real sista, raised her kids up to be go getters
now a niggas livin room is big as an ampatheatre
got the theatre nigga, im from the hood
so at times i see the mirror and tell him hes doin good
keep up my spirits cuz niggas want them destroyed
but thats null and void when it comes to ya boy
im from detroit, shady employee
im no a voyage tryin to get more royalties
niggas im royalty, thats why yo bitches spoil me
O, T, R, I, C, E
[Chorus][Trey Songz]
Only my mama done see me cry, this my life
I'll be thuggin til' the day that i die, this my life
you niggas dont know me, you can't slow me down
you can't hold me, hustle, ima keep rollin, rollin, rollin'
goin on strong
[Verse: 3][Obie Trice]
I got visions of makin executive decisions
but the system tells me to be realistic
you cant do shit without c's and d's
i could do the work, im jus interesting in makin cheese
so your school can't control these g's
he got his own rules and do whatever he please
at ease to my soldiers whos feelin Obie
long as i know my 1, 2 ,3's im flippin o z's
a nigga can count like an accountant,
only difference is it won't be check that'll be bouncin
its powder, peep what hes pronouncin
now he lives next to the teacher who denounced him, doubted him
now look at the childs outcome, dudes album got him speakin highly
in valume, i assume im valuable, they throwin in the towel
bow whenever they see im rollin el diablo
[Chorus][Trey Songz]
Only my mama done see me cry, this my life
I'll be thuggin til' the day that i die, this my life
you niggas dont know me, you can't slow me down
you can't hold me, hustle, ima keep rollin, rollin, rollin'
goin on strong
