Area 9

My first time recording was in
Dede's room
12 years old found my forte in the booth
At the time didn't know
I was designed to make you
Go insane with every recording I do

I did it for fun but in my spirit I knew
It was more than that so I never remit my view
Of who I wanted to be coz niggas wanna
Redesign you
Before they get to see me I made clear I stay true

To what I was molded for asked God which route
Bro played dot and j Cole
To me that's destiny regular shit with you

Had to give you the details
So you can tell how much this means to me
2017 I can see vividly
Freestyled the whole year on the air wave
My block stacked with me
One of the reason I made this piece

To show a little gratitude to these amazing streets
Bring hope to blazing
Dreams
Nat just raising fiends
My bad yang and ying

Now hold on hold on

This is not a hit record
But a record that really hit
Make yo eardrums breed
Let my tear drops sing
Stories from the ghetto
You can ask King D
Expino sno and metro
Know what's popping in these streets
Real Niggas in my circle
Am from place you can't cut corners
To make it to the top of the list

We ENT never had nobody
Play our songs on TV
Now watch us win a Grammy
Hater just wait and see

That's that type energy I got from my city
Brings fear to my enemies coz they ENT wanna
Believe it
Am a different typa breed
And all them Niggas with me
Nature's a tricky bitch
In the Grand scheme of things
You'll see that she pretty

Still don't get what I mean
Our life been poetic
I believe now you got the image

Learned a lot of shit in these streets
Believing nothing I hear and half of what I see
Coz shit ENT what it seems
Alotta memories too
Pull liquor to the ground
Or light one for the homies
RIP Timothy keep looking down on grin
Yeah you know what time it is
