Los Angeles Daze |
Check it… People Under The Stairs… Double K… |
Thes One… |
Putting it down… the way it should be… |
For two… |
The way it should’ve been… |
L.A. style… |
We gonna do it… |
The West style… |
Me and Thes… |
Hip-hop… |
You… Two, one… |
For everybody… |
Ask why and we’re be so while… |
‘Cause I’m rough and I’m tough… |
In a b-boy stance… and I come from L.A. (x2… then scratched together) |
Crescent Heights city, yeah, that’s where I’m from |
A gang of wild-ass niggas that don’t back down to run |
And supposed to perpetrate on bustas that we putting it down |
These so-called L.A. fools that ain’t nowhere to be found |
I see you throwing up the «W,» but yo, I’m here to trouble you |
Of what you listening to-1−3, and that’s 3−1-0, not 3−1-3, so get it right… |
Bust it… yo, we makin' dope like Hoover and Pico, move slow |
Be polite and everything’ll be alright, despite what other niggas say |
Yo, this where it at, them other West Coast faggots, yo, where they at? |
Word to MC Ren, I showed them people that you wack |
Peace to the real crews defacing walls on backstreets |
In the city of set, porch, halls, and swap meets |
From the school of hard knocks, the generation passed down |
Kaiser Permanente, yo, that’s where I was found |
In the middle of the funk era, 'fros and dashikis |
Pops was putting it down, chilling at the speakeasy |
Now I’m posting at Unity with the b-boy stance (word!) |
Take a glance and keep walking, yo, you know who it is |
I’m from the motherfucking hardest-working group in show biz |
If your shit ain’t humping right, don’t even bring it this way |
You get booed off the stage, leaving town the next day |
Telling your boys, «It is aight, better luck next time |
The only thing that was cool: the weed, women, and sunshine» |
Forgot to look under the stairs, yo, much more to boast about |
Trying to diss and get that ass knocked out |
Thes born in South America, moved to South Bay |
Run with a crew from Mid-City, that’s where I stay |
I’m from L.A., always have been, and always will be capitol |
The sprawled up piece stands out like palm trees |
Next to pine trees, blowing in the Santa Ana breeze |
My DJ’s got fame, underground Rick Dees |
I am MC, so bring in funk in five minutes |
I jam like the 110 in the ‘84 Olympics |
Keep the rhyme moving like the Unity location |
Rap has been my vocation |
Since before the Japanese owned the radio station |
That’s why they Fired Jay Thomas |
I keep it fattened like the llama, yo, I promise |
Never stop, never change, like the price at Dodger Stadium |
I blow up, rock free shows at the Palladium |
Afterwards, the crew I’m taking ‘em to Tommy’s Burgers |
Gotta be for every Los Angelino Murder |
A rhyme for every burglar, Thes a well-worder |
It comes together in a freeway like East LA merger |
That means you’ll get no pay, but I urge you |
Keep ya eye on L.A. like Chuck Henry, word |
You heard of someone better? |
Send ‘em our way |
He get done the L.A. Way, the drive-by way… |
‘Cause I’m rough and I’m tough… |
In a b-boy stance… and I come from L.A. (all scratched together) |
Check it… everyone in my town think they got flows |
Thes serve more wack MCs than waitresses at Roscoe’s |
You know me, at the graveyard shift, gettin spliffed |
We can take it downtown like Figueroa and 5th |
And after that, I’m heading up to El Cholo for some dinner |
Bustin' through the inner-city underground like the red line |
Thinner than the line at car wash in El Niño |
That’s you son, see no time in this locale |
Underground, down, talking ‘bout, «Yo, I’m keepin it real!» |
I’m coming with the Walkman and tapes, not steel |
Not a .22, .45, but a 9, Double O, 6 |
Put it on your letter to the better, lick a stamp, send it |
And mail a letter to Thes, L.A. legend like Fernando Valenzuela |
Yes, he never ran in a battle, yes |
He be smoking beedis, watching the sun set from Sunset |
Ay-yo, we got rappers walking around, shook like earthquakes |
Blame it on San Andreas, it was a fault you had to wait |
To grab the steel, how you feel? |
Ain’t even got skills to represent |
The City of Angels, my whole team is heaven sent |
Getting shit accomplished, yo, check the way we rock this |
Like the Raiders in ‘88, fool, you can’t stop us |
Like gang-banging, this shit’ll be banging for centuries |
Imperial groups spreading like bank robberies |
Over the Southland, we put the funk in your trunk |
To bump hard, like 808s, sorry you had to wait |
But we was digging in the crates, no fear, it’s here |
Shady like MacArthur Park, don’t get caught after dark |
Might never come back, see, sometimes it’s like that |
Some niggas carry a gat, some niggas use their head |
But the smartest of the smartest’ll still come out dead |
It’s true it ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at |
But you’ll still get caught up wearing the wrong colored-hat |
And on that note, everybody shut the fuck up and kick it |
Spliffted, whatever you do, make sure you don’t miss it |
‘Cause we coming like the end, yo, it’s just about wax |
So watch out, we bringing bad luck like Wilshire and Fairfax |
And it’s just like that, so check it out… |
‘Cause I’m rough and I’m tough… |
In a b-boy stance… and I come from L.A. (all scratched together) |
«Fred, where you from?» |
«L.A.» |
«Uh oh, uh oh! |
Uh oh! |
Ask him where he started from…» |
California… (repeats) |
