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 song "Richard" by Obie Trice is a humorous take on the rapper's persona, which he refers to as "Richard" or "dick" throughout the song. The first verse begins with Trice talking about selling crack on the streets, and how he's become successful by being himself and not conforming to the mainstream rap industry. He talks about his tendency to skip school and how that shaped his views, saying that he used to make excuses but now feels foolish for doing so.


The second verse introduces Trice's alter-ego, "Ike," who he describes as someone who wears wife-beaters and Nikes and has a "life supply" of them. He raps about his sexual exploits and how he takes advantage of women, and makes jokes about the music industry and his place in it. He ends the verse with a reference to Eminem and Shady Records, saying that he's still making money from his music and will always be a part of the industry.

I'm wearing tank tops and Nike sneakers


And a white tee over that Iron Mike
I have a white t-shirt on over my tank top, inspired by boxer Mike Tyson


Lookin' fly tonight, feel like I might die from a spider bite
I'm looking good tonight, but I also feel vulnerable and fragile


Come back as Spider-Man, Park my Peter inside a dyke
I wish I could be like Spider-Man and also have sex with women


Bitch actin' like she got fuckin' higher standards than Meijer's, right
This woman thinks she's too good for me and has high standards, like a fancy department store


Had to pry her fingers off the motherfuckin' Breyer's ice cream
I had to forcefully take a pint of ice cream out of her hand


With the pliers, like "AAHHH!"
I had to use pliers to get the ice cream away from her, and she screamed in protest


Only a ruthless bastard would do this
I know I'm being cruel and only someone without compassion would act like this


Take a toothles bitch with no taste buds to Ruth Chris
I'm taking a woman with no teeth or taste buds to a fancy steakhouse

Pick up two Big Bufords
I'm ordering two large burgers


Girl, you got a nice pair, but you're plum stupid!
You have a nice body, but you're not very smart


So when I pull up in that Benz
When I arrive in my fancy car


Don't try to pretend you ain't interested
Don't try to act like you're not interested in me


To impress your stupid ass friends
You're only pretending to not be interested to impress your friends


And refuse to get in woman, and get slammed on the ground
If you don't get in the car, I'll physically force you in and hurt you


And snap like a pool stick against cement
You'll break like a pool stick against the pavement


If you suck of dick, pretend it's a musical instrument
If you're going to perform oral sex, pretend you're playing a musical instrument


You get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This is your one chance to shine, don't mess it up


I can tell at first glance you're a ho
I can tell by looking at you that you're promiscuous


Cause your pants are so tight
Your pants are so tight they reveal everything


When you dance with O. Trice, your implants explode
When you dance with me, your breast implants burst


So cold to dykes, the chance is snow in San Francisco
I'm not interested in women who like women, it's as likely as it snowing in San Francisco


Boy I'm from Detroit city, you livin' in animosity
I'm from Detroit and you're living in a bad state of mind


That's a fucked up state to be in, such an atrocity
That's a terrible situation to be in, it's horrible


Look where these random thoughts get me
I'm thinking about all sorts of random things


In senseless mind babble, "What me? Apologize? labrbrr"
I'm talking nonsense and unlikely to ever apologize


That's just the way the rhyme unravels
My rhymes just come out the way they do


And I wouldn't fucking take it back if I time traveled!
I wouldn't change anything I said, even if I went back in time


Just call me Richard, cause I'm a dick
Call me Richard because I'm an asshole


It's also Richard cause I feel like you should
I'm insisting you call me Richard because I want to be called that


Pry your fucking mouth up off of it
Stop talking and let me do what I want


You ain't gotta be no detective to figure out I'm a dick
It's obvious that I'm a jerk


When I hold my privates to your first clue
If you see me holding my crotch, it's a sign that I'm a dick


Sherlock, prick! Just call me Richard
I'm being sarcastic and calling myself a name you wouldn't say in polite company


That's my motives, jumpin' out them Rovers
My plan is to jump out of expensive cars and cause trouble


All white, like I was right up in the Dakotas
I'm dressed all in white, like I'm in frigid North Dakota


Or Minnesota, did I mention soda?
I'm referencing other cold places and soda for some reason


When it's mixed with viola, watch my cup runneth over
If you mix soda and alcohol, you'll have a good time with me


Cut from a soldier
I was raised to be tough and aggressive


Them ho niggas disposable toaster
Guys who date prostitutes are disposable and unimportant


Putting holes in a nigga getting close enough
I'll shoot someone who tries to get close to me


Being me till the credits roll
I'll keep being this way until the end of my life


Till my condition is beyond what the medics know
I'll keep going until my physical or mental health is beyond medical help


They wanna edit O
The people who work on my music might want to change it


Like a prosthetic third leg let it go
Like a fake penis, let them take over and change it


This is Shady 1.0 Em let 'em know
This is the early days of Eminem's label Shady Records


I still profit through the process
I'm still making money even when things don't go as planned


The prize in my jeans my balls'll never digress
I'm proud of my manhood and won't let it be less important to me


I'm a dick that I brag about
I'm an asshole and proud of it


I put it in fast and then I drag it out
I have sex quickly and then make it last as long as possible


World, I be your special friend see
I want to be your friend


Cause these suckas suffer from pseudo penis envy
Other guys are jealous and insecure of me
