[02:29.57]
[02:30.26]When Eazy-E was playing on the radio
[02:32.26]
[02:33.23]I knew exactly how my day would go
[02:35.08]
[02:35.71]California sunshine coming in
[02:37.42]
[02:37.97]Singing gangsta rap with all my friends
[02:40.36]
[02:40.99]The origins of California hip hop

[03:14.77]All of that **** started out right here
[03:17.18]
[03:18.18]We didn't make it up but we made it famous
[03:20.49]Then we spread it worldwide
[03:21.85]Go ahead and blame us
[03:23.45]Growing up  gang culture taught us loyalty
[03:25.43]And that everyone is equal  no royalty
[03:28.16]
[03:28.67]So there's never been a king of the west coast
[03:31.22]We got some OG's and we respect those
[03:34.22]But anyone can get it if there's beef
[03:36.34]And nobody's undefeated in the streets
[03:39.20]I grew up on palm trees and gangsta rap
[03:41.72]So pardon me  but I'm thankful for that
