EXIT 9

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Wit' my sixty-nine, fire bird from the curbs

I done had to work it like a square and had to serve

I'm listenin' to Big and Dre and crumblin' on herb

I'm pushin' down MLK wit' a quarter pound of herb

Passin' through the temp', I say a prayer for fallen soldiers

Rest in peace to Bruce and may God be with DG Yola

God bless the dead, that's for Boonk, that's for V

And God protect the livin', that's for me and that's for Sweet

We done made it up from shawties, drinkin' forties, livin' lawless (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Today shit finna flame, diamond flawless and I fault this

Thank the Lord I ain't a junkie, ain't a alcoholic (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

The pride of Atlanta, Michael Render studied ballin', all in

Let's bring out the champagne, roll up a airplane, life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)

We rise, we fall, even when back to wall, I find a way I can maintain, yeah

Treat MLK like my memory lane, ain't no feelin' the same, hope you feelin' my pain

I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game, ain't no feelin' the same, hope you feelin' my pain

I remember them days, makin' minimum wage

I was tryna maintain, look how far I done came

Pop champagne for the pain, I'm campaginin' for change

All the progress we made, bigger things on the way

Hoppin' over hurdles into my Chevy converter (Yeah)

Swerve around them haters that don't wish to see me further (Oh)

My campaign for champagne coulda ended wit' my murder

Miss Betty say, "If you ain't saved in Jesus name, it's worser"

I had to be my own boss, not somebody else's worker

I know the prayer she prayed for me still served as my preserver

I know some of my actions, they was taxin' and I hurt her (Oh-oh-oh)

But Lord, if she listenin', please let her know I heard her

Let's bring out the champagne, roll up a airplane, life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)

We rise, we fall, even when back to wall, I find a way I can maintain, yeah

Treat MLK like my memory lane, ain't no feelin' the same, hope you feelin' my pain

I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game, ain't no feelin' the same, hope you feelin' my pain
