A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness |

Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex |

The state where ya never find a dance floor empty |
[01:06] |

[02:25] |
Soon as I stepped on the scene, I'm hearin hoochies screamin |
[02:28] |
Fiendin for money and alcohol |
[02:30] |
The life of a west side playa where cowards die and it's all ball |
[02:33] |
Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die |
[02:36] |
In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (that's right) |
[02:39] |
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do |
[02:41] |
Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews |
[02:44] |
Famous cause we program worldwide |
[02:46] |
Let'em recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans |
[02:49] |
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side |
[02:51] |
So you know the row won't bow down to no man |
[02:54] |
Say what you say |
[02:55] |
But give me that bomb beat from Dre |
[02:57] |
Let me serenade the streets of L.A. |
[02:57] |
From Oakland to Sacktown |
[02:59] |
The Bay Area and back down |
[03:02] |
Cali is where they put they mack down |
[03:04] |
Give me love! |
