Welcome to E9

[Intro]
(Roddy, run it up)
Jimmy

[Chorus]
Welcome to E9
Let me tell you 'bout E9
Been knees deep from knee height
Where-where you get played if you be nice and you could get shaved or deep fried
Welcome to east side
Ain't nothin' nice in these sides
Come like everybody sees time
Jungle livin', so I gotta keep mine
I'm from a place where man see life before they see life

[Verse]
I took pain into game and struggle into hustle, turned one into double
Plus these kids stay wildin'
Get your body ripped, no need for muscle
I hugged the block, there weren't for kiss and cuddles
If I knew what I knew now from way, way back then, shit, probably would've been a millionaire
But I can still feel a million near
En route to the bread, but they don't wanna see me there
I need cash for my service, I don't volunteer
Been a team player, ain't the type to stunt on peers
Took risk anywhere, no access to the spot
Drastic measures had me taggin' on the block stairs
The chance is very slim tryna make it out of here
Thank God, I'm here, took blood, sweat and tears
I touch another checkpoint, but I can't stop there
The L's come here and there, but I gotta stay prepared

[Chorus]
Welcome to E9
Let me tell you 'bout E9
Been knees deep from knee height
Where you get, where you get played if you be nice and you could get shaved or deep fried
Welcome to east side
Ain't nothin' nice in these sides
Come like everybody sees time
Jungle livin', so I gotta keep mine
I'm from a place where man see life before they see life
