Richard
Eminem & Obie Trice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Trice
Statik Selektah

O back around the corner
Got the crack, put in your orders
We 'bout to run up out the stores
It's notorious, the way I got big spitting stories
Being me's X-Clan, Vanglorious
We're not your favorite, fuck it
You know the system and you buck it
Have you revisiting how you used to love it
A nigga spew through the music, acoustics, cool kid
Used to pursue excuses, truth is, I was truent in school
So its influence is foolish, that was my views
I'm back at it, the rap addict, by any means
We gon get these stacks accurate, no skinny jeans
Say he ain't a star, niggas might be right
I'm so regular, nigga gotta shit tonight
Take it back Selektah, let 'em know it's Trice
Put your seatbelts on, we gon' ride tonight

And I would like to introduce myse-self
Surprise! Hi, it's Ike
'Bout to get my Ike on, I come with a life supply
Of wife beaters and my Nikes on
And a white tee over that Iron Mike
Lookin' fly tonight, feel like I might die from a spider bite
Come back as Spider-Man, Park my Peter inside a dyke
Bitch actin' like she got fuckin' higher standards than Meijer's, right
Had to pry her fingers off the motherfuckin' Breyer's ice cream
With the pliers, like "AAHHH!"
Only a ruthless bastard would do this
Take a toothles bitch with no taste buds to Ruth Chris
Give her toothpicks, stop on the way home
Pick up two Big Bufords
Girl, you got a nice pair, but you're plum stupid!
So when I pull up in that Benz
Don't try to pretend you ain't interested
To impress your stupid ass friends
And refuse to get in woman, and get slammed on the ground
And snap like a pool stick against cement
If you suck of dick, pretend it's a musical instrument
You get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
I can tell at first glance you're a ho
Cause your pants are so tight
When you dance with O. Trice, your implants explode
So cold to dykes, the chance is snow in San Francisco
Boy I'm from Detroit city, you livin' in animosity
That's a fucked up state to be in, such an atrocity
Look where these random thoughts get me
In senseless mind babble, "What me? Apologize? labrbrr"
That's just the way the rhyme unravels
And I wouldn't fucking take it back if I time traveled!

Just call me Richard, cause I'm a dick
It's also Richard cause I feel like you should
Pry your fucking mouth up off of it
I said just call me Richard, cause I'm a dick
You ain't gotta be no detective to figure out I'm a dick
When I hold my privates to your first clue
Sherlock, prick! Just call me Richard

That's my motives, jumpin' out them Rovers
All white, like I was right up in the Dakotas
Or Minnesota, did I mention soda?
When it's mixed with viola, watch my cup runneth over
Cut from a soldier
Them ho niggas disposable toaster
Putting holes in a nigga getting close enough
Being me till the credits roll
Till my condition is beyond what the medics know
They wanna edit O
Like a prosthetic third leg let it go
This is Shady 1.0 Em let 'em know
I still profit through the process
The prize in my jeans my balls'll never digress
I'm a dick that I brag about
I put it in fast and then I drag it out
World, I be your special friend see
Cause these suckas suffer from pseudo penis envy

Just call me Richard, cause I'm a dick
It's also Richard cause I feel like you should
Pry your fucking mouth up off of it
I said just call me Richard, cause I'm a dick
You ain't gotta be no detective to figure out I'm a dick




When I hold my privates to your first clue
Sherlock, prick! Just call me Richard

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eminem and Obie Trice's song "Richard" are overtly explicit, and it's difficult to make a deep analysis of the meaning behind them. The song features the two rappers taking turns to deliver crude yet clever rhymes filled with explicit sexual references and insults aimed at their haters. The underlying theme of the song appears to be the artists' boastfulness about their sexual prowess and their contempt for their critics.


Eminem's verse features his trademark rhyme schemes and wordplay, complete with references to superheroes and shopping at grocery stores. Obie Trice's verse, on the other hand, is more focused on sexual encounters, with explicit references to oral sex, implants, and tight pants. The song's chorus repeats the line "just call me Richard" in a nod to the slang term for male genitalia, further emphasizing the sexual theme.


Overall, "Richard" is a lighthearted and humorous song that showcases the two rappers' lyrical abilities and their willingness to push boundaries with their explicit rhymes. While not the most profound or meaningful song, it serves as a fun and entertaining listen.

The look on their faces when Eminem starts rapping.... priceless Eminem is here to stay :)

@Subs1338

You were right

@fatalcheckmate187

Obie Trice is so UNDERRATED he is really spectacullar!

@fuckitsTdashRex94

I forgot how well Eminem did on this song. It's a good verse, great even...but it's not memorable. Sway's face when Em goes acapella is priceless. I hope Eminem and Obie work together more, it brings back memories of when I was younger, trying to grab all the Shady/Aftermath music there was as I was just getting into rap. One thing I don't like about Obie nowadays is that sometimes he sounds too much like Jay-Z sometimes. He used to have a more grimy sound. But fuck it, he's still awesome.

@DE-hi9mc

Closed his eyes like “Blind fury” lol. His voice is so unique. He’s a legend!

@Jannie171

Damn Eminem is still genious with his lines i mean come on. ''I wouldn't even take it back if i time traveld''

@TroyBakerMusic
