And if I hit the switch I can make the assssss drop Growing up they said the west had no lyricists Can you imagine growing up hearing this
So I took my hip hop serious
Years later now the pen game is Furious
Styles from a Boy-N-The-Hood
Post G-Funk Era trying to do good What about Quik and Dub C King Tee Eiht Kurupt and Suga Free They Master Ceremonies and they Move Crowds See I'm from the west coast and I'm so proud This where crack started and yeah we act retarded ****** be scrapping in the parking lot at Target
It's ****** up but it's kind of funny And we be set tripping and it ain't over money Red and blue is like Muslim and Jew And I don't ever think they'll stop But I'm praying that they do In 92 we had a truce for a little bit Until they started back tripping over little **** I was young making sense of this crazy world And my childhood hero had a Jheri curl When Eazy-E was playing on the radio
I knew exactly how my day would go
California sunshine coming in Singing gangsta rap with all my friends
The origins of California hip hop Where you can pop lock or you can get shot Black white latin asian living in this melting pot Throw up your W and it don't stop
My cousins up north they hit me to the game It's all California but we ain't all the same To G's up there they had a different swag They was grinding out the trunk getting hella cash B-Legit man E-40 dude Del and Heiro got their start up under Cube
Love to my Bay Area fam 93 Til Infinity is still the jam
And over 20 year later They still rocking for the stoners and the skaters I used to watch videos by Plan B Dream about hitting up the Hubba Ledge or EMB
Shout out to Tommy G and Ray Barbee Cause there ain't no party like a Bay Party When Mac Dre died I was brokenhearted Show some love to Where the independent game started
The 6-1-9 shout out to Jay-O Masters Of The Universe doing it in DayGo
I came up on drive-bys and chronic smoke And it was hella crazy but it was kinda ****
When Eazy-E was playing on the radio
I knew exactly how my day would go
California sunshine coming in
Singing gangsta rap with all my friends
The origins of California hip hop
Where you can pop lock or you can get shot Black white latin asian living in this melting pot Throw up your W and it don't stop It goes 6 In The Morning police at my door Fresh Adidas squeak across the bathroom floor Ice was telling stories about an inner city war He gave the world a taste and they came back for more They said "*****" and **** Tha Police They said they'd never make a million Talking about the streets
They said they'd never play it on the radio Now all you hear is gangsta rap everyday and yo
We ************* pioneers All of that **** started out right here
We didn't make it up but we made it famous Then we spread it worldwide Go ahead and blame us Growing up gang culture taught us loyalty And that everyone is equal no royalty
So there's never been a king of the west coast We got some OG's and we respect those But anyone can get it if there's beef And nobody's undefeated in the streets I grew up on palm trees and gangsta rap So pardon me but I'm thankful for that You know Yeah and I want to take a minute To give a shout out to pioneers who started this **** Rest in peace Mixmaster Spade Toddy Tee Greg Mack K-Day KMEL Too $hort Freddie B Rapping Ron & Diddley Dog
The Luniz Shock G Saafir Casual Del Hobo Junction I know I'm missing a gang of people Kid Frost Lighter Shade of Brown Psycho Realm
Everybody that's a part of this great culture Freestyle Fellowship Cypress Hill B-Real Tha Dogg Pound Did I miss anybody I probably missed a gang of ****** man Rest in peace to Eazy-E Eric Wright We out West side
When Eazy-E was playing on the radio
I knew exactly how my day would go
