    1. A few corrections:
      “As everybody around HERE knows
      Except a PRAYER…

      Lower 9, CENTRAL CITY, UPTOWN

    2. I’m doing it by ear too, but I’m familiar with the southern speech. To my ear, he says at #4, “we (or we’ll) just carry on diggin’ our graves, in solid marble above the ground.”

      At the next to last:

      ‘This city will never die
      Just as long as her heart beats strong
      Like a second line steppin’ high
      Raisin’ hell as we roll along”

      And it’s “Lower 9th” (as in ward) not Lower 9, I think.

      See if that works. Thanks.
