Trae's trademark is a low, deep, guttural voice. His flow is very fast. In these two areas his style is somewhat reminiscent of Z-Ro's, as well as that of Flesh-N-Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Trae sometimes, though not always, mixes multiple vocal layers into his songs.
Trae first gained exposure on the Houston rap scene when he appeared on Z-Ro's album 'Look What You Did to Me'. In 2003, he began his solo career with the album 'Losing Composure'. 'Same Thing Different Day' (2004) and the acclaimed 'Restless' (2006) soon followed. Trae is currently signed to Rap-A-Lot Records.
He was featured in a video called Smash Exclusive: Houston Mic Pass with Lil' Flip, Chamillionaire, Chingo Bling, Bun B, Short Dawg, Big Hawk, and Mike D. He also appeared on the official remix of Yung Joc's song "It's Goin' Down", which earned Joc national attention and became one of the biggest mainstream pop hits of 2006.
"Real Talk" was featured on the soundtrack to the video game Madden NFL 07. Trae won an Ozone Award for Patiently Waiting Artist for Texas.
Had Enough
Trae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been reppin' & runnin' the block since the age of my youth
A gangsta gorilla go-getter certified as a troop
I done had it with niggas, the only thing that I'm bringin' is Plex
Got me feelin' like Kobe Bryant, dumpin' off 8 reppin' the West
Get off of me homey 'cause I've been known to click on the cool
I'm a damn fool & ain't no games fin to be played with the tool
I'm sick & I bet you niggas just don't want it with Trae
Maabin' you bitch niggas, better get out the zone
Or else you fin to see me make my slugs get out the chrome
When that Mack get to spittin' you gon' get out your home
I'm sick of tellin' you bitch niggas to get the fuck on
I mean it, you muthafuckers better play your positions
Respect the code of the streets, before your bitch ass be missin'
Or slid up under some'ing swoll up & blacked out
Better give me 50 feet 'fore I make your lights out.
[Mack Biggers:]
I done Had Enough of you niggas
Eyes wide open, I ain't trustin' you niggas
Me & Lil' Trae 'about to bust on you niggas
Prepare for the worst of the worst, when I'm rushin' you niggas.
[Trae:]
I done Had Enough of you niggas
Eyes wide open, never trustin' you niggas
Me & Mack Biggers 'about to bust on you niggas
Load the clip finna trip when I'm rushin' you niggas, Had Enough of you niggas.
[Mack Biggers:]
I done Had Enough of you fake cats, fakin' the Maab
Now I plan on takin' your job or breakin' you off
Takin' the chips & breakin' your jaw, flamin' your car
With cop killers when invadin' your yard
That's just a taste of the Maab, Mack Biggers was shot but I saved the bomb
And when I squeeze only Jesus can save you boy.
Now what y'all know about bangin' & rob?
Or goin' state to state slangin' it raw?
See me I play no games & say no names
And I'm sick & tired of you niggas that play hoe games
Y'all so close to bein' dames so if I say your name
Best believe it's a bullet aimin' at your brain
From the streets to the Penn, nigga respect my gangsta
Even when I'm draped in flames with the best of the bangers
And only cop killers, rest in the chamber
I done Had Enough of you niggas, see y'all messin' with danger.
[Mack Biggers:]
I done Had Enough of you niggas
Eyes wide open, I ain't trustin' you niggas
Me & Lil' Trae 'about to bust on you niggas
Prepare for the worst of the worst, when I'm rushin' you niggas.

[Trae:]
I'm sick of you niggas, you 'about to get me back in the stage
Of whippin' a nigga ass to the flow & dumpin' slugs out the gauge
Why these niggas don't understand, that it be real in the field
Disrespectin' my gangsta ways will be enough to get you killed
I got killers on every corner, gorillas ready to mob
If you try me thinkin' I'm playin' I bet I'll get to the job
You walkin' the thin line, old cake ass nigga
Plus I had it up to here with all you fake ass niggas.
[Mack Biggers:]
What y'all know about Mack Biggers & Trae the Gorilla Maab
And the Planet of the Apes invadin' the planet of the fakes?
'About to test a nigga stamina, with a K
Bound to catch a slug dog, if you standin' in the way
We could do it for my nigga Charge or we can do it for Dinkie
Regardless of the fact, we gon' leave you nigga sinkin'
And if you survive the ride we gon' leave you niggas thinkin'
Whenever we around dog it's best you stop blinkin'.
[Mack Biggers:]
I done Had Enough of you niggas
Eyes wide open, I ain't trustin' you niggas
Me & Lil' Trae 'about to bust on you niggas
Prepare for the worst of the worst, when I'm rushin' you niggas.

Now I plan on takin' your job or breakin' you off
I plan on taking over their area or harming them severely
Takin' the chips & breakin' your jaw, flamin' your car
I will steal their money, hurt them, and set their car on fire
With cop killers when invadin' your yard
I will use very powerful bullets if I invade their territory
That's just a taste of the Maab, Mack Biggers was shot but I saved the bomb
That is just a small demonstration of the Maab's power. Mack Biggers was shot, but I saved his life
And when I squeeze only Jesus can save you, boy.
When I start shooting, only a higher power can save them

Do they have any experience in violent criminal activities?
Or goin' state to state slangin' it raw?
Do they know how to deal drugs across different states?
See me I play no games & say no names
I am serious and do not reveal anyone's name
And I'm sick & tired of you niggas that play hoe games
I am bored of dealing with people who act in a cowardly manner
Y'all so close to bein' dames so if I say your name
They act so cowardly that they might as well be women
Best believe it's a bullet aimin' at your brain
If I say their name, they should expect to be shot at
From the streets to the Penn, nigga respect my gangsta
Whether on the streets or in prison, people should respect my toughness
Even when I'm draped in flames with the best of the bangers
Even if I am on fire, I am still a tough and powerful member of the Maab
And only cop killers, rest in the chamber
I only have deadly bullets ready in my gun
I'm sick of you niggas, you 'about to get me back in the stage
I am tired of dealing with certain people and am about to get violent again
Of whippin' a nigga ass to the flow & dumpin' slugs out the gauge
I will beat them up and shoot them with my gun
Why these niggas don't understand, that it be real in the field
They do not seem to comprehend the seriousness of the situation
Disrespectin' my gangsta ways will be enough to get you killed
If they disrespect me, they may end up dead
I got killers on every corner, gorillas ready to mob
I have dangerous people ready to attack at any moment
If you try me thinkin' I'm playin' I bet I'll get to the job
If they think I am not serious and test me, they will regret it
You walkin' the thin line, old cake ass nigga
They are on the verge of crossing the line and are weak individuals
Plus I had it up to here with all you fake ass niggas.
I am fed up with all the fake people and their behavior
