[Hook - Obie Trice] (*echo*)
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Who the f** gon' tell me sh**?
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all n***as can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Motherf**er you can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all cats can't tell me sh**
[Verse 1 - Obie Trice]
Yo, I sold dope, watched fiends crave for rock
Watch 'em watchin me put the stash in my sock
Walkie-talk to n***as from the corner when the Feds 'bout to enter
Pumped up blocks, summer to winter
Kerosene heaters by my feet
Takin tops off, just so a n***a can eat lunch meat
Four days, no Z's
From the first to third, end of the month, I'm too excited to get sleep
I bagged up twos
Aggravated by picky crackheads who don't know which rock to choose
Took outta town trips
Two seconds in the son of a b**h, narcs run in, talkin sh**
I know about dope, I lost my man Lou to the coke
Pumpin over there off of DeSoto
Any n***a who don't know about this
I hit ya with the Iron Mike quote "that's ludicrous!"
sh**tin in the tub, pissin in the tub
Hepatitis B inflicted in a thug
I know about that sh** right there (know about that sh** right there)
[Hook - Obie Trice] (*echo*)
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all cats can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all n***as can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Motherf**er you can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all cats can't tell me sh**
[Verse 2 - Obie Trice]
I done had jobs black
Boss man yellin at the top of his lungs about a f**in Big Mac
He damn near fired
A restaurant manager who can't manage sh** from bein stressed out and tired
I'm talkin about blacks
You work all week with Boo and one day your man Boo just collapse
His breakdown's 'caused by his b**h, who dropped the drawers
For a n***a who could really floss
Five twenty-five, it make your mouth leak
And on top of that sh**, you get a check every other week
You work a week in the hole, there's thirty motherf**ers on payroll
sh**, you work when they want you to
Equal opportunity? Yeah right
Suburban community check stubs always hella tight
And my sh** lookin like this
I got a b**h, a baby and I need a place to piss
Pissed off at check time cause I was skipped
That's when Obie Trice start co*kin back his sh** (co*kin back his sh**)
[Hook - Obie Trice] (*echo*)
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all cats can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all n***as can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Motherf**er you can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all cats can't tell me sh**
[Verse 3 - Obie Trice]
I done been homeless, no place to sleep
Moms don't wanna hear it, no place to eat
I pa** out on my man's couch, just for a week
'Til he get fed up and kick a n***a to the street
Black out from cold, freezin my toes
Snow f**in over my boots, my Tims' froze
Face turnin blue
Cars ridin by with the little children on the inside pointin at you
You done f**ed over folks and they don't wanna see ya
Baby momma gotta new n***a with a Visa
Sleepin in cars, abandoned sh**
And while the rats eat the wires, you be prayin and sh**
Close to pneumonia, wishin for heat, like damn if only I came up in California
Plottin on a lick like, stickin your mans
Cause damn, you know he got at least a grand in his pants
Face lookin old, despite the fact you only 22 years old
Stuck in the cold, snot drippin profusely
Takin the alley routes, so my ex-cutie won't notice me
[Hook - Obie Trice] (*echo*)
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Y'all cats can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Now who the f** gon' tell me sh**?
Aiyyo, dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Motherf**ers can't tell me sh**
Dope, jobs, homeless, I did it all
Motherf**er, I done did it all
