Obie story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Momma's so p[C]roud of you, you did so[Am]
good on that report card today baby
I'mma let you pick out whatever you want
Ma, I can get any shoes I want?
[Am]That's right,
today is your [C]day
Momma don't have much,
[Am]but I'll spend it all on you today
Okay, I want these. [Am]Ah man,

[Verse 2]
I'mma look fresh when I go to school
[C]Such a beautiful thing,
being embraced by a woman th[Am]at's a queen
With big dreams for the younger sib[C]ling
O couldn't do no wrong
According [Am]to report cards
Obie brought home
They [C]say good in spelling
Spelling bee's always [Am]excelling
Which was so overwhelming that
[C]Momma took him shopping
Copped him the new Jay's
[Am]Swear to God homie this was
Obie's cool [C]days
BMX'ing up the block with the
tennant living [Am]next to him
Shooting hopes, who got hops?
[C]Worthy, when he pop a jump shot
No [Am]worries, just a pocket full
of sugar or [C]whatnot
Hit the candy house on the block
[Am]It was pickle in them spot
Then [C]things turn around
when Obie'll lay down
[Am]Hear the sounds of fire rounds
surrounded em
Astounded him,
the volume of [Bb]the blast had me so interested
[Am]Momma falling with cash,
she can't get a [Bb]nigga in this bitch
They wanna hit [Am]the ass,
nigga start ditching class
Dad ain't around, he left a nigga
Sagging in them Superman
drawers that one Saturday
Is it my fault, shit got dark?
Mom and I fall apart,
[A]relationship [Am]taunts, bad talk
"Can't stand you,
[A]looking like ya Daddy with [Am]that same walk"
Muthafucka you
[C]Now a niggas [Am]out in the streets
Two nickle plated thirty- eights on me
Can't stay away from [C]beef
[Am]Scrapping with them niggas
from the other side
Sipping Saint Ives rocking
old school flannels
Old school niggas see
that I'm an animal
Front me at 16, see how my roll handle
Now I'm up the O's but
wait on the affy
'cause here come my [C]muthafuckin baby,
cool
Had to slow my role
Plus [Am]my P.O. got a nigga pissing in a bowl
[C]Hold my temperament 'cause
I see such inno[Am]cence
When I'm looking in Kobe's pupils
[C]Despite all the dope I sold
I had to change my [Am]road
I just might be able to grow old
[C]Older brother said, "Yo O
I'mma quit my [Am]job so we
can chase our goals
I'll be [C]manager- a- go,
you can rap I suppose"
That's [Am]what we did,
I still flipped a little bit
[C]Saved up my chips and
put it into music
[Am]"Well Known Asshole"
a underground hit
[C]Still scrambling, looking like shit
[Am]Baby momma think I'm smoking
more then a [C]spliff
Think a blessing came from the man
who invented [Am]my gift
When Eminem said "let me hear you spit"
[C]Wrote my signature,
now Shady Obie represe[Am]nts
Hit em with the D12 skit
[C]Can exhale now I see
my Mom's ain't pissed
[Am]She hit em with a smile 'cause
Obie became focused
[C]From independent out the trunk
like them dope kids
[Am]To platinum plaques,
world tours, getting noticed
[C]An inappropriate sol
dier became so fero[Am]cious
In this Hip- Hop culture that I long for
[C]The roller coaster O was on so young
[Am]Took a turn right into his song
That's right,
[C]from after school fights
To pushing white,
[Am]to pursuing his career heights
[C]One mic's, all I need in
volved with beats
[Am]I'mma be the streets to Jesus,
cars on me
[C]And that'll be the day you ap
plaud and see
[Am]The underdog gets his eventually

[Verse 3]
[C]Gotta end it though
I'm all [Am]in it, there's no limits
And it's so splendid
[C]Real names, no gimmicks
No im[Am]age,
just a soldier who spoke what he lived
[C]From the ribs with it,
the flows vin[A]tage
[Am]Obie gotta do this for r[C]eal[Am]
Yeah
