After the D there be the E and it suits me well D Sisive on Eglinton be the street where I dwell The Westside is parallel where my legend propels Also my brethrens as well but it ain't hard to tell Cause lyrically I'll be representing spots of all kinds I drop dimes on any competitor trying to take mine And when it's all said and done and I posess the full claim I hit the soul train back to E.W. (my domain) The home of insane crews paying dues and making news bulletins Ganja entrepreneurs, my street is full of them And hooligans of all types avoiding sentences Oriental men selling New York imported denim It's heaven when I start walking my block, taking all the sights in I know I got the white skin, but I fit right in And if you fighting, make sure you bring the right men Cause from Marlee ave to York Quare, we got nothing but titans Ready to battle, with words mad provacotive It all ain't positive, but living here is my perogative So keep it on the hush for all the hesitating people And check the unity at the Caribana pre-show
(Chorus) The E.W.- The streets where the po-po roam It may not be much to others, but to brothers it's home The E.W. Let's make use of this coverage And don't throw up the W without an E in front of it
I take a breath of fresh air and still be destined to get there Whether I'm at Glencairn or West of St. Clair I still be close by wondering if my street's still operating So I travel 32 bus lines straight throught the station And staying connected like Imediat paging Blazing up my quad, waiting for return calls from pay phones Y'all know the deal, if you don't ask my man Rhyno He'll tell you E.W. rocks the spot (T-Dot)
(Rhyno) Athletic sweaters have imbedded my chest Claiming Eglinton West where the buddah gets blessed Nevertheless, it's the place where my head takes rest Multiplied drug sales til the cops get stressed Understood it's my hood and I don't complain Easy shopping when I'm rocking on the Keele domain Simple and plain, we trying to get our blocks sewn together Throwing E.W. signs and sporting ECKO sweaters
(Chorus) The E.W.- The streets where the bashments play And roots men work night and day to earn the fastest pay The E.W. Let's make use of this coverage And don't throw up the W without an E in front of it
For 18 plus years I be walking the streets clear Of any beef, mad peace and hoping that it will increase But when the beast gets there way, the peace is gone away And the pieces spray, leaving the peace a memory It's a hard thing to say but they be always harassing The DJ's clashing at local bashments in an orderly fashion Depriving our imagery while they physically Sending our citizens through misery, it's killing me So while we chilling, B, we gotta unify and skillfully Try to get Snoop screaming out "EWC" White pregnant bitches and clothes from Stitches Running from 13th division Through avenues and boulevards, pulling cards from those not on the blueprints So get nyammed like Albert's with more cuts than Loose Ends My crew extends therefore I'm crazy true to say That I'll forever be representing the E double vee
(Chorus) The E.W. The streets where the blocks are shaded It ain't crew affiliated, but its our hood and we named it The E.W. The street where the po-po roam It may not be much to others, but to brothers it's home The E.W. The street where the bashments play And roots men work night and day to earn the fastest pay The E.W. Let's make use of this coverage And don't throw up the W without an E in front of it
