Eazy-E |
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 we act retarded |
Niggas be scrapping in the parking lot at Target |
It’s fucked 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 shit |
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 that 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 Hubble Ledge or EMB |
Shout out to Tommy B and Ray Barby |
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 dope |
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 «bitch"and Fuck 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 motherfucking pioneers |
All of that shit started out right here |
We didn’t make it up but we made if 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 shit. |
Rest in peace Mixmaster Spade, Toddy Tee, Greg Mack, K-Day,, |
Too $hort, Freddie B, Rappin Ron &Diddley Dog. |
The Luniz, Shock G, Saafir, |
Casual, Del, Hobo Junction, I know I’m missing a gang of people, Kidd 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 niggas 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 |
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 |
