They wanna✦ know who's my role model,✦ it's in a brown bottle
Yo what's our motherfuckin'✦ motto,✦ nigga?✦ Hennessy✦
They wanna✦ know who's my role model,✦ it's in a brown bottle
You know our motherfuckin'✦ motto,✦ Hennessy✦
Hahaha,✦ y'all niggas✦ can't fuck with this old thug shit, Hennessy✦
That's what I'm sippin'✦ on, now let me tell 'em who I be
Big ballin'✦ ass nigga✦ named✦ Trice
[Verse 2: Obie Trice & 2Pac]
Now I was born in Detroit✦ on the side that's West
Troubled child comin✦ up I had to ride, I guess
Tried to apply✦ myself, them niggas✦ was ballin'✦
My mama✦ couldn't tell me shit, the streets was callin'✦
I was often involved with niggas✦ breakin' the law
I look back, 'Pac nigga,✦ we was bankin'✦ off raw
P-Funk got it pumpin',✦ he had the connects
Threw the sack to his lil' niggas✦ workin'✦ the set
And if you got it, you gettin'✦ wet, nigga,✦ bet on that
Don't come around here on that floss shit, Detroit✦ niggas✦ off shit
Robbin'✦ niggas✦ in the doorways, that's right
With my four-four, that's the sure way
And this your road days, All Eyez on Me
We was looney✦ I suppose, you could die, homie
O Trice always✦ rep his block, Pass the Henn' and that ice
I'm on a track with 'Pac, nigga✦
[Chorus: 2Pac & Obie Trice]
They wanna✦ know who's my role model,✦ it's in a brown bottle
Yo what's our motherfuckin'✦ motto,✦ nigga?✦ Hennessy✦
They wanna✦ know who's my role model,✦ it's in a brown bottle
You know our motherfuckin'✦ motto,✦ Hennessy✦
Hahaha,✦ y'all niggas✦ can't fuck with this old thug shit, Hennessy✦
[Outro: Obie Trice]
Yeah, ayy, 'Pac, 'Pac

Yeah, Obie Trice, pour out a lil' liquor, nigga✦
