Chorus   I'm from the ninth ward[been there since the day I was born]   From the ninth ward[got us coming up like a storm]   From the ninth ward[niggas better sound the alarm]   Here come the ninth ward,ninth ward hard      [magic]   Bitch,i was born and raised in the ninth ward   So you niggas don't bother me   You can say what you may about the ninth ward   But I bet you won't follow me   'cross that canal where my niggas dwell   You know me well   Cause I sold rocks, upon my block   Till I was hotter than hell   Every nigga down here remember me   Nothin' really changed but my gold teeth   I'm still that same nigga from my flood street   Only difference now is that I'm on my feet   And I don't sell dope no mo'   Don't rob no mo'   Mane a nigga don't plot no mo'   Cause I'm performing in shows   Shakin' off hoes   Smokin' on optimos   It'll be a world war 3 fuck with me   Now my niggas won't let that ride   I'm the only nigga out chere screaming 9th ward   So people tryin' to keep me alive   Everywhere I go they see the nine on my arm   And they swear that I'm in a gang   But nigga this is a warning, I'm 'bout my hands   Like I'm 'bout them motherfucking thangs   I'm trouble starter just like my father   He was raised in the nine   So if you cut my arm it still tated in my mind   No matter millions or which ever the situation might come   I'll never forget you niggas   Never forget where the fuck I'm from      Chorus-2x      [magic]   You know you could take the nigga out the nine   But you can't take the nine out of nigga   Pulling capers is my nature   I'm addicted to making paper   Got my own way of living   Bitch I'm from the c-t-c   Where niggas roam around looking for beef   Killing for free   I take this ward shit to heart   It's tated on my arm   So me and my niggas never part   I keep you niggas in my mind   For every clucker that I serve   For every nigga that I shot   For every tourist that I robbed   To every God damn rock   For every cop that done chased me   To the bitches that hate me   What have you done for me lately   For every neighbor that was peeking at four o'clock in da morn   It never helped to lock me up   You could've left me alone   We learned to improvise on my block   Never had a ball   We played football wit' a concrete rock   Now picture that   I could never forget my mission   I'm a turn the nine into something bigger that yo' vision   Before I'm done the world'll scream      Chorus-2x
