Lyrics EXIT 9 (SCENIC ROUTE) - Offset , Killer Mike , Blxst

I remember them days makin' minimum wage
I was tryna maintain, look how far I done came
Pop champagne for the pain, I'm campagin' for change
All the progress we made, bigger things on the way

Whip my '69 Firebird from the curb
I done had to work it like a square, had to serve
I'm listenin' to B.I.G. and Dre and crumblin' on herb
I'm pushin' down MLK with a quarter pound of herb
Passin' through the TIP, I say a prayer for fallen soldiers
Rest in peace to Bruce and may God be with DeGeola
It hurt like hell to say, but rest in peace to Rico Wade
He soundtracked the day when me and Sleep was servin' J's
We done made it up from shawties drinkin' forties, livin' lawless
The Day Shift and the Flame, diamond flawless in our forties
Thank the Lord I ain't a junkie, ain't an alcoholic
The pride of Atlanta, Michael Winters study ballin'

Let's bring out the champagne, roll up an airplane
Life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)
We rise, we fall, even win back some war
I found a way I can maintain
Yeah, treat MLK like my memory lane
Ain't no feelin' the same, hope you're feelin' my pain
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game
Ain't no feelin' the same, hope you're feelin' my pain (Offset)

All my brothers, look in the air, I see a angel that fly (Angel)
Fifteen years, brother gone, every day, mama cry (Mama)
I was strugglin', start hustlin', start cuttin' up pies (Hustlin')
Streets start huggin' me, not lovin' me
But it wasn't on my mind (No, no, no)
But it wasn't on my mind (No)
Doin' crime, chasin' a dime so I don't be behind (Hey)
I had did this for my gang, I don't see nothin', go blind (Gang)
Grandma died, I wish I could go back and get time (Grandmama)
Ayy, and I can't live with no regrets (Nah)
VVs on my neck and I will kill for my respect (Bah)
I done ran it up and now I'm finally out of debt (Run it up)
Count me out, now count me in 'cause they know I'm the best (Hey)

Let's bring out the champagne, roll up an airplane
Life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)
We rise, we fall, even win back some war
I found a way I can maintain
Yeah, treat MLK like my memory lane
Ain't no feelin' the same, hope you're feelin' my pain
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game
Ain't no feelin' the same, hope you're feelin' my pain

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 could've ended with my murder
Ms. 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 prayers she prayed for me still serve as my preserver
I know some of my actions, they was taxin' and I hurt her
But Lord, if she listenin', please let her know I hurt her

Let's bring out the champagne, roll up an airplane
Life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)
We rise, we fall, even win back some war
I found a way I can maintain
Yeah, treat MLK like my memory lane
Ain't no feelin' the same, hope you're feelin' my pain
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game
Ain't no feelin' the same, hope you're 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 campagin' for change
All the progress we made, bigger things on the way
I remember them days makin' minimum wage
I was tryna maintain, look how far I done came
Pop champagne for the pain, I'm campagin' for change
All the progress we made, bigger things on the way
I remember them days makin' minimum wage
I was tryna maintain, look how far I done came
Pop champagne for the pain, I'm campagin' for change
All the progress we made, bigger things on the way
I remember them days makin' minimum wage
I was tryna maintain, look how far I done came
Pop champagne for the pain, I'm campagin' for change
All the progress we made, bigger things on the way
