We motherf**king pioneers |
| [03:14.77] |
All of that shit 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 |
| [03:43.61] |
You know |
| [03:44.35] |
Yeah and I want to take a minute |
| [03:47.18] |
