To all my peoples
Got a little story to tell
Straight from the ghetto
Some of you gon feel it
Some of y'all ain't
Don't matter
Still gon tell it
Cos I heard a long time ago
That changes were gonna come
And I know you been waiting
They never saw me coming
That's the way it is
So we're here to take you
On a joyride
To the new millennium base (or baby)
(Or Bow down to a new way of life)
About ass
It's a new way of life

(just wanna say thank you jesus)

(Talk)
No What I'm Sayin,Yeah

Back in the days when Ice Cube and Easy had everybody yellin out
Boy you can't Fuck with me. Remember Ice Tea at the by way giving
gunshots licking by the Iowa,with two-short bumpin every supersport
and taught us all how to ride for the West Coast

Verse#2
Don't seem that long ago, we was stillin forties

Chorus#2
One time for my homees in uh Carseration
I place a dime with you for havin lots of

Spreadin deaf to all my enemies and those who don't

Repeat Chorus #2 (once)

7 11 6 & 4
They all score

Yeah
Mutha fuckin' Jazzy Fae
Got me in line at 1:12
All high & shit
Ha
Thinkin' about what if the world was mine?
Ha ha
It'd be on in this mutha fucka
Check it out

[Verse 1]
I been thinkin' since the capital
Luck saw a baby kinda feel natural
Triple lights on the crap table
7 11 6 & 4 they all score
And every woman is a stripper so you can tip her
Don't let it get ya
Feel free to take her home wit ya
I'd be in all the motion pictures
And every whip I'm messin' wit, be a ten on the real shit
And real niggas wouldn't have to try to be
So I would never never - actin' violently
And even if you didn't ride wit me
you could still get high wit me
If the world was mine

[Chorus]
You would never have to leave the sunshine
And everbody'd be free to smoke weed wit us
Shouldn't even have to deal wit one time
Too many whips so we ain't got time
If the world was mine
I'd roll a baby blue 64
Wit all my niggas down front wit they dubs up, all night
Call all the thugs & 'round 'em up
And tell 'em all to come to my show
If the world was mine

[Verse 2]
I take a puff so I can meditate
Bump down the street & niggas wouldn't playa hate
These are tickets for the na-nas
My own recliner
What's the matter wit ya eyes? Ain't ya high enough?
Cali weed make 'em both swell
So quit talkin' and blaze one up
You in the middle of a world-wide mission to get paid enough
Is the last nigga brave enough?
His ass got ate up
His whip got laid up
She had to pay up
My mind was made up, and stayed up
I took 17 beats & laced 'em up wit a plot to blow the place up
If the world was mine

(Repeat chorus)

[Verse 3]
If I ruled the world
Block parties wit the Mexicans
Dominos wit the best of dem
Black Lex, purple pearl
In the city wit my next of kin, doin' lotsa shoppin'
It's poppin'
We won't be stoppin'
'til the loot runs out
But it's my shit, so that won't happen
Guaranteed to have y'all screamin' & clappin'
On a high that lasts ya all night
If the world was mine

(Repeat chorus 3x)

(Chorus)
I kinda wanna drive Lexuses
Sit back and live life high with the best of shit
with a wrist full of ice in my president
And a pocket full of Debbies that you can't imagine
Guaranteed to make the best of it
To have a yacht on a lake with water beds in it
And a whole ot of women that are singin' to my shit
With they hands up in the audience screamin' they want it
They want T!

When I was a lot younger
I liked to sit up at the park & drink on St. Ides
Drunk as fuck, I used to wonder why some niggas roll 64's on D's
And some niggas let their khakis hang to their knees
Will I end up just like one of these?
Or smoke trees overseas and rock wimbley?
Bring back a black Bentley full of Henessey
And earl grey tea sippin' it with Naomi - And they on me!
I wonder how it happened so fast
To go from 33b to first class laughin'
And all you hatas are hurt bad
Imagine

(Chorus)

Before I go to sleep at night
I say a prayer to the Lord above and I'm hopin' that he shows me
luv
'Cause my shit be hot enough to have the world dancin'
Smokin' weed on the beach in the sand
and all my ladies look well in Chanel & Donna
If I trip, they got my bail, so farewell your honor
Ain't got no time for drama
Too busy chillin' with the mamas in the Bahamas
and everybody got they own bag of ganja
And you can go & roll a bleezie of you wanna
Ain't got to worry 'bout nobody all up on ya!

(Chorus)

Give me a house in Fayetteville and a blue five hundred
Next door to Evander - In the tub with Michelle & Samantha
And a black pet panther
And you ring the doorbell, I don't answer
And you can't stand it
And you askin' "TQ why you act that way?"
'Cause it's too many hatas with somethin' to say
I'm too busy blowin' up with my homeboy J!

(Chorus - 2x)

Yeah KB noon time
Steady Mobb'n
L.A. to the Bay Atlanta GA
Yeah
That's the way we do it baby
They never saw me coming
Like a thief in the night
Haven't you heard about it?

New nigga in town everybody listen
I got a message for you don't want you to miss it
Gangstas make the world go round as it was written
That's why at every show somebody trippin'
So listen

Now I like to smoke weed & drink straight yak
And fuck wit dime pieces, because I got it like that
Make all the strippers love me, because my tips stay fat
And my 'Lac is all that
Haven't you heard about it?

1 - Got every ghetto in the country wantin' it
Even if they playa hate, they bumpin' it
(Can't live without it)
I heard you're lookin' for that real life gangsta shit
But they never saw me coming
Haven't you heard about it?

To all my niggas down south, I know what you like
And all my peoples on the west, it's on tonight
(Can't live without it)
And everybody in the east, believe me
Anybody talkin' beef, can eat these
They never saw me coming

We make the front page story in every city
Couldn't believe all the niggas that was down wit me
Had all these other bustas lookin' silly
We don't ride no ponies, just roll on goldies
Nigga please

Come off that shit, this is a new era
Straighten up your sideburns, stop wearin' mascara
I hope it's for the sake of sellin' records
Either way, you need to check yourself about bein' a real nigga
So figure

My momma told me I was unexplainable
Said I was gifted, but I chose to act a fool
And in the end, it be the fool that got me through
Even back in school, I used to dream about it

To have the whole world screamin', throwin' up their dubs
Just wanna give 'em what they needin', and show 'em love
Truth is I'm a thug
But I still can blow, so what
So tell me the motha-fuckin' problem
Haven't you heard about it?

Repeat 1

[Jay]
??? face the fact
Never thought, never knew I would come like that.
No time to make a track
Drunk off yak
Still no excuse, for Mr. Magoo
Some niggas wanna trip off Tim-buck 2
Pass me a blunt, I like to get blunted
Never saw me comin' in a black 600
Bump it like a bitch
Got a twitch in da switch
We oughtta know who major rich
Sound like my son
Better ride in this shit
Learn to love these west coast hits
Stop makin' tracks wit all the same kids
Better close the deal
Let's keep it on the real
Never understood how you managed a deal
Smashed up the town
Got money by the pound

[TQ]
Haven't you heard about it?

Repeat 1 to fade

Yeah uh mm give it to me
Mmmmm yeah
Yeah yeah
Mm no no no no

Seems like every night right before I go to sleep
I say a little prayer to the Lord that he keep me
I used to be the kind of nigga that didn't give a fuck about nobody
The slightest little thing would make me mad
Especially if it involved my money

And I can't tell you 'bout the next man
But I love pullin' up in big sedans
Wit all my niggas in a caravan
Holla if ya hear me

Now I'd love to break ya, bring ya down
And take you back again
But that would take too much time
And I gotta hit the streets again

1 - And even if the sun don't shine, I'll still be hustlin'
Gotta get that money, make that money
Keep it comin', if it takes all night, can't be strugglin'
Somebody come help me
Can ya tell me why is slangin' always on my mind?
Must be buggin'
I guess they figured I would quit and they could get me
If they tapped my line
Don't mean nothin'
I'll still be hustlin'

Now I hate to be the one to tell ya, but I don't mind
Niggas can hate if they want to
And I'm still gon' get mine
Yes, I still be ridin' in a SC on dubs
And I won't be seen at none of the clubs
And uh, all your women would know who I was
(And that you wouldn't like) And that you wouldn't like

If everybody kept they mind on gettin' they skrilla
Won't be no time to fuck with mine, so won't be no killin'
I'll just sit back and recline, smoke this Philly
And keep my fingers laced with diamonds like Big Willie

But for now, catch me on Compton Avenue
With a handful of hundreds and a strap or two
Puttin' it down for my niggas like they told me to
You need some candy, so won't you come thru

Repeat 1

[E-40]
Sometimes I'm suited up
Sometimes I'm bummy, lookin' like a crook
Hair all nappy and wild - we call it the full nuk
Mashin', mobbin' and thrashin'
Woopers, horns and tweeters blastin'
Throbbin', hoggin' and doggin'
Godzilla ballin'
When it's money callin'? War-rank
Just ride your runners fool
Be 'bout your bank
Sittin' fat like ?
All about my money, duffle bags full of scratch
Artillery fire arms and gats
Reep my mill, cap my feddy, get my bread
? on my tail, but I'm tryin' for them, but they want me dead
Cuz I made it out the game without a clue or trace
Used to sell that bass
Rock cavvy candy, ??????
Never had to stop, enemies on the block, they knew it (they knew it)
As far as I was concerned, ? man I do it
Check it out
Money schemin'
Prince Albert, Chocolate Philly, Glocks Garcia Vegas
Black and Miles on the pack again (yes)
What you know about that?
TQ and E-40 Fonzarelli a.k.a. Charlie Hustle, easy
Biotch!!!

Last week in Atlanta
I met her at the FreakNik
In a black truck wit a short haircut & a gang of homies
And she was on me cuz she said she liked Cali men
She used to scream "TQ
I'll do anything that you want me to
Just come stay with me"
Girl that's somethin' that I can't do
It ain't nothin' wrong wit you
Don't take it personal
Let me explain to you
1 As for me
I just wanna fuck around tonight
But then I gotta leave
Have to be the only one to work your body right
Didn't you know I was a G? (Don't ya get mad at me)
Because I never spend the night (So give me yo' keys)
Can't you see
I ain't settlin' down, no I ain't settlin' down
Cuz I get around
Why you lookin' so surprised?
Was you thinkin' different?
Ain't got no problem with firin' up the candlelight
But you gon' have to finish 'em
Cuz I ain't got time for Valentine presents
I make sure I'm always outta town that day
And if I don't return your message
Don't go gettin' mad, I'll get around to it one day
I just wanna fuck around tonight
But then I gotta leave
Have to be the only one to work your body right
Didn't you know I was a G? (Don't ya get mad at me)
Because I never spend the night (So give me yo' keys)
Can't you see
I ain't settlin' down, no I ain't settlin' down
Cuz I get around
It ain't no need to tell you no lies
I don't want no new girlfriends
No no no
Everytime I think about
Do a whole lot better without
Somebody sweatin' me
I can't take this sweatin' G
You know you can come to my room
whenever I'm in town (Ooh yeah)
Don't give a fuck about anything you do
when I ain't around
I had to take some time to let you know exactly what I'm about
Cuz I'll be back next Sunday (I'll be back Sunday)
and I'm gon' wanna dig you out
I just wanna fuck around tonight
But then I gotta leave
Have to be the only one to work your body right
Didn't you know I was a G? (Don't ya get mad at me)
Because I never spend the night (So give me yo' keys)
Can't you see
I ain't settlin' down, no I ain't settlin' down
Cuz I get around
I just wanna fuck around tonight
But then I gotta leave
Have to be the only one to work your body right
Didn't you know I was a G? (Don't ya get mad at me)
Because I never spend the night (So give me yo' keys)
Can't you see
I ain't settlin' down, no I ain't settlin' down
Cuz I get around
I just wanna fuck around tonight
But then I gotta leave
Have to be the only one to work your body right
Didn't you know I was a G? (Don't ya get mad at me)
Because I never spend the night (So give me yo' keys)
Can't you see
I ain't settlin' down, no I ain't settlin' down
Cuz I get around

[Tray]
Big Tray Deee up in here
Layin' fools down wit the homie TQ
I gots to do this for my bread & meat
This the only way I know how to eat
Fools don't know I'm steady on the come up
Ya know what I'm sayin'?

Well I was takin' up surveylance tryin' to peep this lick
To get the layout raps so I could peal his ?flip?
This outta town nigga tryin' to pose & clock
So I popped my glock as I observed the spot
Was layin' in the cut 'til it's time to jet
7:30PM, now the sun is set
My G is in the alley, duffle bag in the trunk
Containing gloves, ski mask & my sawed off pump
Now when the shit jump, I'll be fully prepared
No time for bein' nervous, too down to be scared
About to put the plan in effect
First, I check the streets
And then I precede to creep

[TQ]
1 - Promise the Lord that if you let me do one more lick
I'mma stop slangin' & get out this shit
No more indo, no more yay
But let me keep my Benz & my crib in GA

I pray to the Lord that you do the same for all of my friends
I don't ever wanna say this prayer again
Gotta see a million and I'm through with this
And all I'm gonna need is just one more lick

[TQ]
In the morning when I wake up
Head to the bathroom, gotta shave my face up
Go pick my nigga Jay up
)From Corina house, where he always laid up
Listen up, we got a busy day
My nigga Noid say 23 birds comin' our way
And they landin' at the docks at 9 o'clock
Let's go see D-Mack at the neighborhood glock shop

Repeat 1

In the evening, we in the Benzo
Listenin' to 2Pac, blowin' up some indo
And my cellular is getting crossed up
I call Kellie, tell her not to wait up (wait up)
Nine o'clock on the dot, we at the dock
I got my eyes on the nigga wit the dredlocks
He the first one I'm gonna pop when the loot come out
I'm tapping Bennie so he know which on I'm talkin' about
Now shit's about to change - Nigga put ya hand up
Before you get stuck
And it's turnin' out to be a beautiful day
We got the money & the yay
Dippin' on the freeway

Next day, the Narc's raid about 6 in the morning
You know, break of fuckin' dawn
Now Kellie in the courtroom cryin' when I stand up
I guess it's one prayer the Lord didn't answer, no no no no

Damn
I done fucked up
25 wit a iz-L
Oh well

Repeat 1 to fade

[Man:] Damn. Be Careful
[TQ:] I'm gon' be up in this motherfucker forever dawg.
[Man:] For real man.
[TQ:] Hey wish I had some weed.
[Man:] Tsh, I wish I had some ass.
[TQ:] Naw.
[Both:] I wish we had some weed.
[Laughter]

So you're all in my mind. Let me tell ya what I see. What seems so
hard to find Just another part of me. When all of my friends come
around we love to just pass her pass her. Don't have to be feelin'
down on the day after. And we've always been together since I
can remember So we'll stay the same. You've been salted up so
bad but I don't care what nobody says.

(Chorus)
Darlin' Mary You know I can't leave alone. She makes me happy
- And they say loving you is wrong. Can't be mad at me, no - She
puts me in a zone. And I wish I coulda got me just a little bit to take
home. I love my darlin' Mary.

So you think it ain't right. Well let me explain. I love my darlin'
Mary - She makes my heart sang. Whenever I'm feelin' lonely, I
take a ride up the street. Give KO his 20 dollas - He gives Mary
back to me. And she always stays a long time, 'cause she likes
phillies. Can't fuck wit no zags. And when she runs out, no need to
go crazy - Just get another bag.

(Chorus)

Now I've been told not to love nobody, but ain't nobody like
Mary. Don't mean to be selfish, but I, I only like the best shit, so
I... If you wanna get really lit, put 10 on it, and we can & go get
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary..

(Chorus - 3x

Ericka: Wait a minute nigga you better back up
I told you a long time ago

Bought you a new Bible with a blunt in it already rolled up
Between Numbers and Dueteronomy is where you'll fine me
TQ: Don't mind me, I'm feenin' baby
I want some ass real bad
Locked up wit' all these hard legs, scrappin' daily

TQ: Fucked up getting weeded
Ericka: But you make me happy
TQ: So I'm sittin here countin' the days down

You and me in a chromed out E - bumpin'
Bone Thugs
Pedal to the floor, dippin' kinda high and
trippin',
I really wanna hit it, your shit is finger lickin'

Ericka: Wait a minute I really miss you, so
don't get me started
Sweating bumpin' and grinding right through
these bars and
Got a little something to help you make it -

Can't feel your body and I hate it..
I'm going crazy
Ericka: Gotta get my mind off this, 'bout to
go up to the mall and buy an outfit
TQ: If you spend all my loot and I'm gonna be pissed -

Ericka: Now who in the hell do you think you're talking to
You know I'm the only one in the world who will put up with you
TQ: Got 72 more days in here, it seems like 20 years
Can't smoke, can't drink no beer, can't get no ass in here
So when I finally get home It's gonna be on, cause I'm gonna be

(Chorus

[Man:] Aah my nigga mon, Ah shit, dawg, my nigger done just got out.

That's real y' ain't gon' like it
Well shit
Fuck that's the way it is check it out

Verse 1: TQ

I like to think back to when we spent the weekend
In Cabo baby your sister's boyfriend started trippin'
And left her lonely
After you went to sleep I spent the night out on the beach
Laid up on her body - how could I keep from hittin'?
And every time I came to your house
She always kissed me in the mouth
Always stickin' her tongue out when you wasn't lookin'
I wanna fuck you sister

Chorus: TQ

Now we been messin' round a long long time
But now I wanna fuck your sister
And I know it sounds foul but that's alright
Cause why should I have to bullshit ya'
(play wit' ya)
I can't help it if she's the one that's on my mind
Everytime I'm out wit cha
I know we messed around a long long time
But now I wanna fuck your sister

Verse 2: TQ

She comes to greet me when I ring your door bell
Lookin' like cavvy
She stands behind you in the kitchen - staring at me
I like to see her when she's getting out the shower
All the things she used to tell me when you wasn't listening
Now the bridge is gonna get cha

Bridge: TQ

Ain't no need for us to stop messin' around
I just wanna hit it for an hour when she get out the shower
On the sink guaranteed not to make a sound
And u know u shouldn't have to be getting' mad at me
I can't help if I want that ass badly
So in the middle of the day when nobody else is around
I'll be fucking your sister

Verse 3: Too $hort (starts rapping during verse 2)

It's time to wake up, control my own destiny
Can't let my addiction to her get the best of me
I ain't givin' up
And I'll never stop tryin' live it up
Cause there ain't no reason to be lyin'
So you might as well let you know
It's goin' down
You wasting time asking me when, where or how?
It's a mutual thing between me and your sister
How you gon' feel when you seeing me kiss her
Ever since she was young, I knew I would get her
Waiting this long to fuck can only make it better
It's like way back when I was tryin' to get wit' cha
I'm tryin' to keep it real girl, I ain't tryin' to bullshit ya
B-ITCH!!!

Too seezy up in this motherfucker
Representing all the way from East Oakland
California style

Chorus: TQ

I wait until you go to sleep
Then I get a little ass for me

Chorus: TQ

At night I can't seem to get no sleep
Addicted to indo and Hennessy
I'm stressed homes - got my vest on
Friday night and I'm chillin' with my baby
In a black 600 Lorenzo's on it
And I'm...al up on them thighs, smokin' on doja
So I guess I didn't see them niggas behind me
We at the stop light - get out your car nigga
Before I exit - they start pullin' triggas
So now I'm duckin' and divin' try to survivin'
All I can hear is gun shots and crying
Then in an instant - the crying stopped
Look at my Benz all windows bucked out
I see my girlfriend layin' on the asphalt
Bleedin' lookin' dead at me
All I can say is...

HOOK:
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it - these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin' boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby

Now I met her at the Beverly and she was the bombest
She had me goin' nigga - I'm gonna be honest
And she was stacked with big bags behind her
Matter of fact - she kinda looked like Tyra
All the niggas used to stop when they see her
Dressed in black - laid back demeanor
Nigga she gone now - and I'm all upset
I'm like a grown child - I want my baby back
But now it's on pal - all things behind us
I'm gonna take you where no one can find ya
Mind ya, I'm about to go crazy
Gimme my Baby - Gimme my Baby

(Repeat Hook)

Now I try not to think about all the things that we did together
We make the bedroom walls shake from in the living room
I was so infatuated with everything you do
Somebody took you away from me with a shell or two
And I'm gonna ride, 'cause that's what the hell I do
Gonna be some madness tellin' you
This shell's 4 u
What they wanna do

(Repeat Hook)

Yo?"
"What's up?"
"Ay what's up nigga?"
"Guess what nigga?"
"What?"
"I done found them niggas."
"You done found 'em?"
"Fa sho."
"No shit?"
"And guess where they at?"
"Where they at?"
"In yo hood."
"Oh it's on."
"Nigga you need to get down here now."
"I'm on my way."

What? They done shot yo baby momma what?!
Aw shhh
Ah man, oh no it's gonna be (?) these niggas up man
Real ballsy shit
Yo, real ballsy partner
I ain't got nothin' else to live for man
What else is there to be for?
These niggas want war or somethin'?
You strapped? Come on, let's get these fools!

(Rap by Daz Dillinger)
I'm rollin?through the streets, me and my homeboys watered out
See me with it on everything, that's what we talkin?'bout
Plottin? jackin? murder, robberies we specialize in that
We'll make our pockets fat, weed, pistols and crack
As a gangster livin?it up, growin?up in a scandalous town
Automatic weapons wanna spray the town, lay the gang down
Hangin?out bangin?all around, smackin?fools in they mouth no doubt
Showin?these fools what we all about
Big clout and money, that's what we all about
You see we die for this color, money, respect and honor
Serious about this game, kill for pennies and dollars
I'm crucial and brutal to those that test
Wanna be a G, represent the set
See this ain't nothin?new homeboy, see we ain't got stupid yet
See we the finest of the finest and the bossest and bossest
Doin?what we do, major clout and so we flossin?br />Get the fuck out the way, cuz here we come homeboy
And my niggas don't play
TQ

I?m up at moms house taped up
3 months re-habilitating finally got my weight back up
She told me "I?m gonna pray to God that you?ll be alright"
That?s my only mama nigga, she knows what?s on my mind
You shot my girlfriend when she was 3 months
There went my children found out it was more than one
You?ve got me lamping and I can?t move as fast
But I swear on baby grave that I?m gonna get that ass
What about my little sister, she use to get good grades
But now she?s paranoid goin?to school with a 38
Now how much of this do you think I?m gonna take

As much as I been feelin?and dreamin?this mutha fuckers mine

And all I?m hearing is ??K-Plaw, K-Plaw, Paw Paw??
After the smoke clears I hear a baby screamin?br />I?m tryin?to figure out but all I see is demons
Father forgive me if I hurt this child let die tonight
Walk up to the Beemer see the kids alright
I hand him to his cryin?mama tell her turn away
Somebody punch up Daddy?s number and it?s Judgement Day
For anybody askin?questions you didn?t even see my face
Or else I?m comin?back

(Hook)

(Rap by Kurupt)

Forty cal colt in the back a stash
Never go to sleep, better not tweak
Punk what the fuck, TQ Kurupt, mash and dash

Bound to bounce, I'm a round em up then I'm a round em out

Cigarettes then joints dip
Fears pierce and shit when the AK spit
Gangstas
(Hook ?2x

In the morning when I wake up I think about all of the crazy things
that we been through. And my momma she told me there were
gonna be days like this. And I guarantee she was tellin' the truth.
When I close my eyes I see Eazy No more thuggin' just love
every day in the heavens above with his DJ listenin' to music that I
just made. Hey...

(CHORUS)
Just wanna sing a little somethin' for the people that done passed
away. Now tell me, can you feel it? When you're livin' in better
days. And I pray to God, I hope you're listenin', if we try then we
could one day be... For one time, in your mind, everything is alright.
Until it happens, I'll be on my knees beggin' for a better way.

Now my background say... Now every once in a while I remember
that I... I miss my Grand daddy. All the little things we sat & talked
about. I wish you could see me now. From the side of my bed with
my head down - To outside wit' my homies tippin' Gin now. Seems
like I got a whole lot of friends now. So let me tell you what I'm
talkin' about. And now that I got my mind made up, I ain't got no
time to wait up. So I'm gonna keep givin' it way up. If you ever
should think I ain't true to that, in "My peoples if you wit me where
you at." We brought y'all back!

(Chorus)

[Break it on down......] (Ad-libs)

Just wanna sing a little somethin'.. Somethin'...

(Chorus - 2x)

Damn, I think I've got a hangover, too much mo the nite before, lady at my front door with a big booty and a cheque for me.

Why in the hell is it so damn hot? And its only 110'clock

Lord help me cause i need relief! Please send down some honeyz and some brew for me!

And I might just have to return to the spot to free my mind. Friday nite on the westside always reminds me of summertime.

Chorus

Its summer time. And everybody on the westside is getting real high,

off the lala in the streets and we're looking for the tata cause they pop out when it gets hot.

Everybody kiss your rainy days goodbye, just blue skies and sunshine.

Come chill with me, everything will be all right on the best side in the summertime.

Here we come and we deep its the honeyz in the benzos and we know how we doing by the size on the rims on 'em

Makes me wanna fly away to the palm trees, bomb these brighter days.

Sunshine beem in on diamonds shined up. You want dimes we got the finest lined up.

Come on so we can mess your mind up, put your Tai up spend summer time with us.

And i might just have to return to the spot to free my mind. Friday nite on the westside always remind me of summertime.

Repeat Chorus

Put your hands up! everybody just stand up. I got some honey's in front of me screaming I'm the first man up.

So I'm about to raise up, so i can blaze up and waste the day up one day I'm paid up

I'll buy a big crib so i can lay up if you didnt know I'm on my way up and I'll bet you will arrive in the summer time

Repeat chorus

Ericka: Wassup boo? How you doin'?
TQ: How I'm doin'? Ya know how I'm doin'.
I'm doin' fucked up in her.
Ready to get up outta this motha-fucka.
Ericka: Nigga, you ain't got to say it with no attitude.
TQ: I'm just sayin', man, it's bad up in here.
How you doin'? What's poppin with it?
Ericka: I'm alright, everything alright, I guess.
TQ: You handlin' shit? Like you supposed to be handlin' it?

Ericka: Nigga, you got me all fucked up.
How you gon' say some shit like that?
TQ: I'm just sayin', man.Shit, just keepin' it real
TQ: Been in here about a year
Never thought the game would take me under
About to get my first tear, when I'm sittin in
my cell I wonder
What are you doing outside
Are you giving all my ass up
Ericka: Wait a minute nigga you better back up
I told you a long time ago
I'd always have your back
I'm still coming off with half of them checks,
so why are you trippin?
Ain't got to worry 'bout nobody getting up in your stuff
Soon as the jury said guilty I closed it up
Bought you a new Bible with a blunt in it already rolled up
Between Numbers and Dueteronomy is where you'll fine me
TQ: Don't mind me, I'm feenin' baby
I want some ass real bad
Locked up wit' all these hard legs, scrappin' daily
I miss my baby, I'm going crazy, I gotta get out
of this place
(Chorus)
TQ: How can you love me?
Ericka: Somebody gotta do it
TQ: It's gott be hard
Ericka: Ain't really nothing to it
TQ: But you make me happy
Ericka: You know you really shouldn't have no
doubt - can't wait till you get out
TQ: I guess I didnt' believe it
Ericka: You spend all your time
TQ: Fucked up getting weeded
Ericka: But you make me happy
TQ: So I'm sittin here countin' the days down
- Can't wait till I get out......
(Bridge)
Things can get back to the way they used to be
You and me in a chromed out E - bumpin'
Bone Thugs
Pedal to the floor, dippin' kinda high and
trippin',
I really wanna hit it, your shit is finger lickin'

Ericka: Wait a minute I really miss you, so
don't get me started
Sweating bumpin' and grinding right through
these bars and
Got a little something to help you make it -
just picture me naked
Can't feel your body and I hate it..
I'm going crazy
Ericka: Gotta get my mind off this, 'bout to
go up to the mall and buy an outfit
TQ: If you spend all my loot and I'm gonna be pissed -
that's no bullshit
Ericka: Now who in the hell do you think you're talking to
You know I'm the only one in the world who will put up with you
TQ: Got 72 more days in here, it seems like 20 years
Can't smoke, can't drink no beer, can't get no ass in here
So when I finally get home It's gonna be on, cause I'm gonna be
lickin' and kissing and sticking all week long

(Chorus

To all my peoples
Got a little story to tell
Straight from the ghetto
Some of you gon feel it
Some of y'all ain't
Don't matter
Still gon tell it
Cos I heard a long time ago
That changes were gonna come
And I know you been waiting
They never saw me coming
That's the way it is
So we're here to take you
On a joyride
To the new millennium base (or baby)
(Or Bow down to a new way of life)
About ass
It's a new way of life

(just wanna say thank you jesus)

This is goin' out
To the whole wide Westside
Know what I'm sayin'
Yeah
Break it down for me
Steady Mobbin (Rock) rock on

I was just a young boy livin' in the Hub City
Eastside Compton, G
Sack in the days when Ice cube and Eazy
Had every nigga talkin' 'bout,
Boy, you can't f@#$ with me
Remember Ice-T had the power (Ooh, wee)
Hearin' gunshot lickin' by the hour
When Too Short bumpin' every supersport
And taught us all how to ride for the West
Coast

To my peoples, if you wit' me, where you at
Throw your gloves in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day, any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world
locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop
Can't stop the ride or die
That's why I put it down for the Westside

Didn't seem that long ago (Oh, no)
We were stalin' forties out the liquor store
(Oh, no)
Mama started trippin', so it's time to go
Out to the park with the locsters
Everybody broke smokin' roaches
DJ Quik was the s@#t
Had every nigga claimin' he was from the CPT
Ya' remember
One time tried to clown
We had to burn this b#@ch on down

One time for my niggas in incarceration
I blaze a dime with you for havin' lots of
patience
Two times for my sisters at the country
building
I got some Westside love for all you ghetto
children
Three times for my niggas that done passed
away
I tip some gin for you and pray for better
days
One day everything's gonna be fine
But until that day my only reply
Is Westside till I die

To my peoples, if you wit' me, where you at
Throw your gloves in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day, any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world
locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop
Can't stop the ride or die
That's why I put it down for the Westside

From Crenshaw to Foothill Boulevard
All I see is lowlows in mob cars, datin' and
Five stars
All the true h@#s is hittin' switches wth all
the finest riches
Of course the bombest bitches, don't get it
twisted
Ask me what's a real C
Show me a nigga scrappin' back
Against the wall until his knuckles bleed
(Knuckles bleed)
Screamin' death to all our enemies and those
who don't believe
West Coast livin' be the s#$t to me

One time for my niggas in incarceration (Ooh
yeah)
I blaze a dime with you for havin' lots of
patience
Two times for my sisters at the country
building
I got some love for all you little ghetto
children
Three times for my niggas that done passed
away
I tip some gin for you and pray for better
days
One day everything's gonna be fine
But until that day my only reply
Is Westside till I die

To my peoples, if you wit' me, where you at
Throw your gloves in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day (All day), every day (Every day),
Any damn day (Any damn day)
Take a look around, we got the whole world
locked down
Goin' on and on, (Goin' on and on)
It don't stop (and on and on), won't stop
(And on and on), can't stop
You could ride or die
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

To my peoples, if you wit' me, where you at
Throw your gloves in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day (All day), every day (Every day),
Any damn day (Any damn day)
Take a look around, we got the whole world
locked down
Goin' on and on,
It don't stop, won't stop
Can't stop
You could ride or die
TQ gon' give it up for the Westside

To my peoples, if you wit' me, where you at
Throw your gloves in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day,
Any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world
locked down
Goin' on and on,
It don't stop, won't stop
Can't stop
You could ride or die
Got to give it up for the Westside

7 11 6 & 4
They all score

Yeah
Mutha fuckin' Jazzy Fae
Got me in line at 1:12
All high & shit
Ha
Thinkin' about what if the world was mine?
Ha ha
It'd be on in this mutha fucka
Check it out

[Verse 1]
I been thinkin' since the capital
Luck saw a baby kinda feel natural
Triple lights on the crap table
7 11 6 & 4 they all score
And every woman is a stripper so you can tip her
Don't let it get ya
Feel free to take her home wit ya
I'd be in all the motion pictures
And every whip I'm messin' wit, be a ten on the real shit
And real niggas wouldn't have to try to be
So I would never never - actin' violently
And even if you didn't ride wit me
you could still get high wit me
If the world was mine

[Chorus]
You would never have to leave the sunshine
And everbody'd be free to smoke weed wit us
Shouldn't even have to deal wit one time
Too many whips so we ain't got time
If the world was mine
I'd roll a baby blue 64
Wit all my niggas down front wit they dubs up, all night
Call all the thugs & 'round 'em up
And tell 'em all to come to my show
If the world was mine

[Verse 2]
I take a puff so I can meditate
Bump down the street & niggas wouldn't playa hate
These are tickets for the na-nas
My own recliner
What's the matter wit ya eyes? Ain't ya high enough?
Cali weed make 'em both swell
So quit talkin' and blaze one up
You in the middle of a world-wide mission to get paid enough
Is the last nigga brave enough?
His ass got ate up
His whip got laid up
She had to pay up
My mind was made up, and stayed up
I took 17 beats & laced 'em up wit a plot to blow the place up
If the world was mine

(Repeat chorus)

[Verse 3]
If I ruled the world
Block parties wit the Mexicans
Dominos wit the best of dem
Black Lex, purple pearl
In the city wit my next of kin, doin' lotsa shoppin'
It's poppin'
We won't be stoppin'
'til the loot runs out
But it's my shit, so that won't happen
Guaranteed to have y'all screamin' & clappin'
On a high that lasts ya all night
If the world was mine

(Repeat chorus 3x)

(Chorus)
I kinda wanna drive Lexuses
Sit back and live life high with the best of shit
with a wrist full of ice in my president
And a pocket full of Debbies that you can't imagine
Guaranteed to make the best of it
To have a yacht on a lake with water beds in it
And a whole ot of women that are singin' to my shit
With they hands up in the audience screamin' they want it
They want T!

When I was a lot younger
I liked to sit up at the park & drink on St. Ides
Drunk as fuck, I used to wonder why some niggas roll 64's on D's
And some niggas let their khakis hang to their knees
Will I end up just like one of these?
Or smoke trees overseas and rock wimbley?
Bring back a black Bentley full of Henessey
And earl grey tea sippin' it with Naomi - And they on me!
I wonder how it happened so fast
To go from 33b to first class laughin'
And all you hatas are hurt bad
Imagine

(Chorus)

Before I go to sleep at night
I say a prayer to the Lord above and I'm hopin' that he shows me
luv
'Cause my shit be hot enough to have the world dancin'
Smokin' weed on the beach in the sand
and all my ladies look well in Chanel & Donna
If I trip, they got my bail, so farewell your honor
Ain't got no time for drama
Too busy chillin' with the mamas in the Bahamas
and everybody got they own bag of ganja
And you can go & roll a bleezie of you wanna
Ain't got to worry 'bout nobody all up on ya!

(Chorus)

Give me a house in Fayetteville and a blue five hundred
Next door to Evander - In the tub with Michelle & Samantha
And a black pet panther
And you ring the doorbell, I don't answer
And you can't stand it
And you askin' "TQ why you act that way?"
'Cause it's too many hatas with somethin' to say
I'm too busy blowin' up with my homeboy J!

(Chorus - 2x)

Yeah KB noon time
Steady Mobb'n
L.A. to the Bay Atlanta GA
Yeah
That's the way we do it baby
They never saw me coming
Like a thief in the night
Haven't you heard about it?

New nigga in town everybody listen
I got a message for you don't want you to miss it
Gangstas make the world go round as it was written
That's why at every show somebody trippin'
So listen

Now I like to smoke weed & drink straight yak
And fuck wit dime pieces, because I got it like that
Make all the strippers love me, because my tips stay fat
And my 'Lac is all that
Haven't you heard about it?

1 - Got every ghetto in the country wantin' it
Even if they playa hate, they bumpin' it
(Can't live without it)
I heard you're lookin' for that real life gangsta shit
But they never saw me coming
Haven't you heard about it?

To all my niggas down south, I know what you like
And all my peoples on the west, it's on tonight
(Can't live without it)
And everybody in the east, believe me
Anybody talkin' beef, can eat these
They never saw me coming

We make the front page story in every city
Couldn't believe all the niggas that was down wit me
Had all these other bustas lookin' silly
We don't ride no ponies, just roll on goldies
Nigga please

Come off that shit, this is a new era
Straighten up your sideburns, stop wearin' mascara
I hope it's for the sake of sellin' records
Either way, you need to check yourself about bein' a real nigga
So figure

My momma told me I was unexplainable
Said I was gifted, but I chose to act a fool
And in the end, it be the fool that got me through
Even back in school, I used to dream about it

To have the whole world screamin', throwin' up their dubs
Just wanna give 'em what they needin', and show 'em love
Truth is I'm a thug
But I still can blow, so what
So tell me the motha-fuckin' problem
Haven't you heard about it?

Repeat 1

[Jay]
??? face the fact
Never thought, never knew I would come like that.
No time to make a track
Drunk off yak
Still no excuse, for Mr. Magoo
Some niggas wanna trip off Tim-buck 2
Pass me a blunt, I like to get blunted
Never saw me comin' in a black 600
Bump it like a bitch
Got a twitch in da switch
We oughtta know who major rich
Sound like my son
Better ride in this shit
Learn to love these west coast hits
Stop makin' tracks wit all the same kids
Better close the deal
Let's keep it on the real
Never understood how you managed a deal
Smashed up the town
Got money by the pound

[TQ]
Haven't you heard about it?

Repeat 1 to fade

Yeah uh mm give it to me
Mmmmm yeah
Yeah yeah
Mm no no no no

Seems like every night right before I go to sleep
I say a little prayer to the Lord that he keep me
I used to be the kind of nigga that didn't give a fuck about nobody
The slightest little thing would make me mad
Especially if it involved my money

And I can't tell you 'bout the next man
But I love pullin' up in big sedans
Wit all my niggas in a caravan
Holla if ya hear me

Now I'd love to break ya, bring ya down
And take you back again
But that would take too much time
And I gotta hit the streets again

1 - And even if the sun don't shine, I'll still be hustlin'
Gotta get that money, make that money
Keep it comin', if it takes all night, can't be strugglin'
Somebody come help me
Can ya tell me why is slangin' always on my mind?
Must be buggin'
I guess they figured I would quit and they could get me
If they tapped my line
Don't mean nothin'
I'll still be hustlin'

Now I hate to be the one to tell ya, but I don't mind
Niggas can hate if they want to
And I'm still gon' get mine
Yes, I still be ridin' in a SC on dubs
And I won't be seen at none of the clubs
And uh, all your women would know who I was
(And that you wouldn't like) And that you wouldn't like

If everybody kept they mind on gettin' they skrilla
Won't be no time to fuck with mine, so won't be no killin'
I'll just sit back and recline, smoke this Philly
And keep my fingers laced with diamonds like Big Willie

But for now, catch me on Compton Avenue
With a handful of hundreds and a strap or two
Puttin' it down for my niggas like they told me to
You need some candy, so won't you come thru

Repeat 1

[E-40]
Sometimes I'm suited up
Sometimes I'm bummy, lookin' like a crook
Hair all nappy and wild - we call it the full nuk
Mashin', mobbin' and thrashin'
Woopers, horns and tweeters blastin'
Throbbin', hoggin' and doggin'
Godzilla ballin'
When it's money callin'? War-rank
Just ride your runners fool
Be 'bout your bank
Sittin' fat like ?
All about my money, duffle bags full of scratch
Artillery fire arms and gats
Reep my mill, cap my feddy, get my bread
? on my tail, but I'm tryin' for them, but they want me dead
Cuz I made it out the game without a clue or trace
Used to sell that bass
Rock cavvy candy, ??????
Never had to stop, enemies on the block, they knew it (they knew it)
As far as I was concerned, ? man I do it
Check it out
Money schemin'
Prince Albert, Chocolate Philly, Glocks Garcia Vegas
Black and Miles on the pack again (yes)
What you know about that?
TQ and E-40 Fonzarelli a.k.a. Charlie Hustle, easy
Biotch!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah
This is a story, a modern day ghetto tragedy
About the other side of the gang
This shit backfired, you feel me?
This time it's just the way it happened
So listen closely, you might learn something
Check it out

I'm just sittin', smokin' weed and looking at some old pictures
From mom's house of when I was a young boy (When I was a young boy)
And the first one that I see is of me and Melinda
On the roof throwin' gang signs
The kind of homie that you don't find
But she always kept things on her mind
She never was my baby, we had a crush
When we were younger
We used to hump and that was it
No bullshit, she was eleven, I was ten
But she meant more to me than any woman since

[Chorus:]
Remember Melinda
I used to stay across the street from her
She could have been a supermodel
Don't remember doing shit without her
I often think about her
Remember Melinda
Never really found her way home
I loved her like my sister
Dear Lord I really miss her, one wish
Long as I live, I'll always remember Melinda

She always had a lot of drama
Watchin' daddy drunk, beating on mama
She used to stuff grams in her bra for my nigga Rob
Twistin' niggas was her job, married to the mob
I used to take her on runs with me
She'd sit in the passenger seat and count the funds for me
It's my fault, I introduced her to the game
To find out she couldn't hang, and it's a shame
That I remember when she started actin' crazily
Was first day she brought my yay to me
Let's get some yack because you made me now
The first lick is about to get paid now
But wait up, what's the deal why ain't you happy
Something's wrong and that's real an open package
That's when I finally realize
Melinda getting high off of my supply!

[Chorus]

And no I'll never forget the night
Her nose started bleeding, her eyes turned white
And I can't get it out of my mind
I'm telling you I still remember, yes I remember
12:30 on the dot here come the doc
The news he's bringing me, I'm shocked
Another victim, and I done made my self a killing
All for the love of drug dealing


[Chorus x 3]

Remember Melinda
I'm sorry Melinda

[Tray]
Big Tray Deee up in here
Layin' fools down wit the homie TQ
I gots to do this for my bread & meat
This the only way I know how to eat
Fools don't know I'm steady on the come up
Ya know what I'm sayin'?

Well I was takin' up surveylance tryin' to peep this lick
To get the layout raps so I could peal his ?flip?
This outta town nigga tryin' to pose & clock
So I popped my glock as I observed the spot
Was layin' in the cut 'til it's time to jet
7:30PM, now the sun is set
My G is in the alley, duffle bag in the trunk
Containing gloves, ski mask & my sawed off pump
Now when the shit jump, I'll be fully prepared
No time for bein' nervous, too down to be scared
About to put the plan in effect
First, I check the streets
And then I precede to creep

[TQ]
1 - Promise the Lord that if you let me do one more lick
I'mma stop slangin' & get out this shit
No more indo, no more yay
But let me keep my Benz & my crib in GA

I pray to the Lord that you do the same for all of my friends
I don't ever wanna say this prayer again
Gotta see a million and I'm through with this
And all I'm gonna need is just one more lick

[TQ]
In the morning when I wake up
Head to the bathroom, gotta shave my face up
Go pick my nigga Jay up
)From Corina house, where he always laid up
Listen up, we got a busy day
My nigga Noid say 23 birds comin' our way
And they landin' at the docks at 9 o'clock
Let's go see D-Mack at the neighborhood glock shop

Repeat 1

In the evening, we in the Benzo
Listenin' to 2Pac, blowin' up some indo
And my cellular is getting crossed up
I call Kellie, tell her not to wait up (wait up)
Nine o'clock on the dot, we at the dock
I got my eyes on the nigga wit the dredlocks
He the first one I'm gonna pop when the loot come out
I'm tapping Bennie so he know which on I'm talkin' about
Now shit's about to change - Nigga put ya hand up
Before you get stuck
And it's turnin' out to be a beautiful day
We got the money & the yay
Dippin' on the freeway

Next day, the Narc's raid about 6 in the morning
You know, break of fuckin' dawn
Now Kellie in the courtroom cryin' when I stand up
I guess it's one prayer the Lord didn't answer, no no no no

Damn
I done fucked up
25 wit a iz-L
Oh well

Repeat 1 to fade

So you're all in my mind. Let me tell ya what I see. What seems so

Hard to find Just another part of me. When all of my friends come

Around we love to just pass her pass her. Don't have to be feelin'

Down on the day after. And we've always been together since I

Can remember So we'll stay the same. You've been salted up so

Bad but I don't care what nobody says.



(Chorus)

Darlin' Mary You know I can't leave alone. She makes me happy

- And they say loving you is wrong. Can't be mad at me, no - She

Puts me in a zone. And I wish I coulda got me just a little bit to take

Home. I love my darlin' Mary.



So you think it ain't right. Well let me explain. I love my darlin'

Mary - She makes my heart sang. Whenever I'm feelin' lonely, I

Take a ride up the street. Give KO his 20 dollas - He gives Mary

Back to me. And she always stays a long time, 'cause she likes

Phillies. Can't fuck wit no zags. And when she runs out, no need to

Go crazy - Just get another bag.



(Chorus)



Now I've been told not to love nobody, but ain't nobody like

Mary. Don't mean to be selfish, but I, I only like the best shit, so

I... If you want to get really lit, put 10 on it, and we can & go get

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary..



(Chorus - 3x)

Ericka: Wassup boo? How you doin'?
TQ: How I'm doin'? Ya know how I'm doin'.
I'm doin' fucked up in her.
Ready to get up outta this motha-fucka.
Ericka: Nigga, you ain't got to say it with no attitude.
TQ: I'm just sayin', man, it's bad up in here.
How you doin'? What's poppin with it?
Ericka: I'm alright, everything alright, I guess.
TQ: You handlin' shit? Like you supposed to be handlin' it?
Ericka: Now you know.
TQ: Better not be no niggas around my house.
Ericka: Nigga, you got me all fucked up.
How you gon' say some shit like that?
TQ: I'm just sayin', man.Shit, just keepin' it real
TQ: Been in here about a year
Never thought the game would take me under
About to get my first tear, when I'm sittin in
my cell I wonder
What are you doing outside
Are you giving all my ass up
Ericka: Wait a minute nigga you better back up
I told you a long time ago
I'd always have your back
I'm still coming off with half of them checks,
so why are you trippin?
Ain't got to worry 'bout nobody getting up in your stuff
Soon as the jury said guilty I closed it up
Bought you a new Bible with a blunt in it already rolled up
Between Numbers and Dueteronomy is where you'll fine me
TQ: Don't mind me, I'm feenin' baby
I want some ass real bad
Locked up wit' all these hard legs, scrappin' daily
I miss my baby, I'm going crazy, I gotta get out
of this place
(Chorus)
TQ: How can you love me?
Ericka: Somebody gotta do it
TQ: It's gott be hard
Ericka: Ain't really nothing to it
TQ: But you make me happy
Ericka: You know you really shouldn't have no
doubt - can't wait till you get out
TQ: I guess I didnt' believe it
Ericka: You spend all your time
TQ: Fucked up getting weeded
Ericka: But you make me happy
TQ: So I'm sittin here countin' the days down
- Can't wait till I get out......
(Bridge)
Things can get back to the way they used to be
You and me in a chromed out E - bumpin'
Bone Thugs
Pedal to the floor, dippin' kinda high and
trippin',
I really wanna hit it, your shit is finger lickin'

Ericka: Wait a minute I really miss you, so
don't get me started
Sweating bumpin' and grinding right through
these bars and
Got a little something to help you make it -
just picture me naked
Can't feel your body and I hate it..
I'm going crazy
Ericka: Gotta get my mind off this, 'bout to
go up to the mall and buy an outfit
TQ: If you spend all my loot and I'm gonna be pissed -
that's no bullshit
Ericka: Now who in the hell do you think you're talking to
You know I'm the only one in the world who will put up with you
TQ: Got 72 more days in here, it seems like 20 years
Can't smoke, can't drink no beer, can't get no ass in here
So when I finally get home It's gonna be on, cause I'm gonna be
lickin' and kissing and sticking all week long

(Chorus

At night I can't seem to get no sleep
Addicted to indo and Hennessy
I'm stressed homes - got my vest on
Friday night and I'm chillin' with my baby
In a black 600 Lorenzo's on it
And I'm...al up on them thighs,
smokin' on doja
So I guess I didn't
see them niggas behind me
We at the stop light - get out your car nigga
Before I exit - they start pullin' triggas
So now I'm duckin' and divin' try to survivin'
All I can hear is gun shots and crying
Then in an instant - the crying stopped
Look at my Benz all windows bucked out
I see my girlfriend layin' on the asphalt
Bleedin' lookin' dead at me
All I can say is...
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it -
these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin'
boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby
Now I met her at the Beverly
and she was the bombest
She had me goin' nigga -
I'm gonna be honest
And she was stacked with big bags behind her
Matter of fact - she kinda looked like Tyra
All the niggas used to
stop when they see her
Dressed in black - laid back demeanor
Nigga she gone now - and I'm all upset
I'm like a grown child - I want my baby back
But now it's on pal - all things behind us
I'm gonna take you
where no one can find ya
Mind ya, I'm about to go crazy
Gimme my Baby - Gimme my Baby
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it -
these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin'
boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby
Now I try not to think about
all the things that we did together
We make the bedroom walls
shake from in the living room
I was so infatuated with everything you do
Somebody took you away from
me with a shell or two
And I'm gonna ride,
'cause that's what the hell I do
Gonna be some madness tellin' you
This shell's 4 u
What they wanna do
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it -
these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin'
boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it -
these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin'
boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it -
these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin'
boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby
Bye Bye Baby
I can't believe it -
these niggas done shot my baby
The only thing that make me go crazy
Somebody gonna feel my 380
My My Baby won't live to see it
It's gonna be murder - I guarantee it
You already had it comin'
boy for steppin' to me
But y'all shouldn't have fucked with my baby

In the morning when I wake up I think about all of the crazy things
that we been through. And my momma she told me there were
gonna be days like this. And I guarantee she was tellin' the truth.
When I close my eyes I see Eazy No more thuggin' just love
every day in the heavens above with his DJ listenin' to music that I
just made. Hey...

(CHORUS)
Just wanna sing a little somethin' for the people that done passed
away. Now tell me, can you feel it? When you're livin' in better
days. And I pray to God, I hope you're listenin', if we try then we
could one day be... For one time, in your mind, everything is alright.
Until it happens, I'll be on my knees beggin' for a better way.

Now my background say... Now every once in a while I remember
that I... I miss my Grand daddy. All the little things we sat & talked
about. I wish you could see me now. From the side of my bed with
my head down - To outside wit' my homies tippin' Gin now. Seems
like I got a whole lot of friends now. So let me tell you what I'm
talkin' about. And now that I got my mind made up, I ain't got no
time to wait up. So I'm gonna keep givin' it way up. If you ever
should think I ain't true to that, in "My peoples if you wit me where
you at." We brought y'all back!

(Chorus)

[Break it on down......] (Ad-libs)

Just wanna sing a little somethin'.. Somethin'...

(Chorus - 2x)
