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, *****s better sound the alarm
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard

*****, I was born and raised in the ninth ward
So you *****s don't bother me
You can say what you may about the ninth ward
But I bet you won't follow me

'Cross that c**** where my *****s dwell
You know me well
'Cause I sold rocks upon my block
Till I was hotter than hell

Every ***** down here remember me
Nothin' really changed but my gold teeth
I'm still that same ***** 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'
Man, a ***** don't plot no mo'
'Cause I'm performing in shows
Shakin' off hoes, smokin' on optimos

It'll be a World War 3, ***k with me
Now my *****s won't let that ride
I'm the only ***** out here 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 *****, this is a warning, I'm 'bout my hands
Like I'm 'bout them mother***king 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 *****s, never forget where the ***k I'm from

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, *****s better sound the alarm
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard

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, *****s better sound the alarm
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard

You know you could take the ***** out the nine
But you can't take the nine out of *****
Pulling capers is my nature
I'm addicted to making paper

Got my own way of living, *****, I'm from the CTC
Where *****s roam around looking for beef, killing for free
I take this ward **** to heart, it's tated on my arm
So me and my *****s never part

I keep you *****s in my mind for every clucker that I serve
For every ***** that I shot for, every tourist that I robbed
To every goddamn rock, for every cop that done chased me
To the *****es 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

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, *****s better sound the alarm
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard

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, *****s better sound the alarm
Here come the ninth ward, ninth ward hard
