I’m from the Evergreen, where the rain don’t stop Where the streets stay cold, but the block stay hot I’m holdin’ it down in the P N DUB From Spokane to Seattle, we don’t fake, we don’t budge I was raised on the block, where the struggle’s real Where the sun don’t shine, but the grind’s all steel I don’t need a mansion, I just need my crew 509 on my veins, yeah, we run straight through I’ve seen the snow fall, but the blood still stain I’ve heard the sirens howl, but I walk through the pain I’m a Northwest soul with a heart like stone I don’t back down, I’m never alone I’m the king of the rain, I’m the lord of the mud Evergreen in my lungs, in my tears, in my blood From the Westside blocks where the wolves don’t sleep We don’t talk too loud, but we run too deep I’ve seen mountains rise, but the streets stay low Seen the skyline shine while the backstreets glow I’m a Northwest legend with a story to tell I don’t need no spotlight, I just live this well So when night falls and the fog rolls in Know the Northwest breathes, we were built to win I’m holdin’ it down for the whole damn state Where the love run real and the hearts run straight I’m from the P N DUB, where the rain don’t stop Where the streets stay cold, but the tempo drop I’m holdin’ it down in the cold, wet air Where the real ones ride and the fakes disappear Where we hustle for the bag in the cedar and pine (evergreen) In the middle of nowhere but we still gon’ shine (still gleam) Come around playin’, thinkin’ we not that tough Then you learn real quick that the rain made us rough From the coast to the pass where the clouds hang low We were molded by the gray, by the wind, by the snow Every drop on the glass is a beat, is a drum Evergreen in my bloodstream, that’s where I’m from From the rail yard lights to the cracked concrete From the dive bar nights to the cyphers in the street We don’t dance for the fame, we just move ‘cause we must Built from moss, mud, metal and rust
