[Hook]
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces

[Verse 1]
As a child I was foul
Ma, I couldn't understand them things that came out your mouth
(Daddies ain't shit)
You would fuss, cuss 'til your blood pressure was up
Then give up and slouch on the couch and drink your liquor
("Fuck you boy")
A hard-headed nigga I was, quick temper
Short attention span not attending class
What a dummy, I would run over you honey
You confront me and say "Obie you no longer have a Mommy
Don't use my phone, don't even eat my food
Matter of fact, don't speak" and it was just me and you
In the house, with that mouse and them traps and that gat
Waiting on the day for you to pull the trigger back

[Hook]
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces

[Verse 2]
"You trying to kill me boy, that's what you wanna do kill me?"
Ma you're not feeling me, the beef is not that drastic
"Weed blasted bastard, you're lying (You're lying!)
You tuck plastic freezer bags with dope inside of em"
She knew, but she hated that it was true
"I done raised two boys, I can do away with you"
The locks changed, and the nights got colder
I'm slanging boulders, looking like a boulder toker
But fuck it, I'm the Obster, I'm down for mines Ma
She ride by my corner like, "I'm not gonna cry
I would not reap the pain of watching my youngest man
On the corner slanging 'cane, I'm calling the cops"

[Hook]
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces

[Verse 3]
Ma, even though I left the house wrong
Seventeen years old on my own, using these streets as my home
There's no need to prolong this beef dear, I love you
Ms. Eleanor Trice I place no one above you
You the reason when I hustle, I knew to stack
The reason when I opened up mics I knew to rip
The ethics you enstored in this hectic young brother
Rubbed off after all, now look at your boy
When they ask about me now you won't just put your head down
Straighten up Ma, you can smile now proud
Everything's kosher with the boasterest Obster
Let's get closer, so regrets never approach us

[Hook]
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
Don't come down things will always work out
So when you find yourself in pieces

Obie Trice

Obie Trice began rapping at age of 11, and is most known for his time spent signed to Shady Records. Obie Trice has formed his own record label, Black Market Entertainment.

Obie Trice III was born and raised in Detroit by his mother, along with three brothers. He is mixed race; of African American and German descent.

Obie Trice went by the name of Obie 1 early in his career, but when he first met Proof, who was about to introduce him at the Hip Hop Shop, Proof asked him, “What’s your name? Your real name, no gimmicks.” He was then introduced as Obie Trice, and has kept his real name as his rap name. Trice was introduced to Eminem through D12 member Bizarre. Eminem was impressed when Trice freestyled for him in a car park through a window, whilst Eminem was in a car.
