The Bay to LA Lyrics

[Hook]

[Overdub on the Hook]
What did you think this was
LA to the Bay, the buzz
The buzz, the buzz
What did you think this was
LA to the Bay, the buzz
The buzz, the buzz
I keep my hustle you know
I make it go
The Bay to La, the Bay to LA

[Verse Two: MURS]
Uh, and all my homies say "Rip!"
When I first got to the Bay, I straight tripped
Blood! blood!
What's that all about?
Tommy's got these broads sayin' blood in his house?
Cuz, but I ain't thugged out
Ignorance off my chest I let it out
(It's all good) now I'm back on my grind
On Telegraph with them fat ass dimes
(I got tapes) see the Bay got that lime

And LA we was still smokin brown at the time
Ugg, so when I got back home
Fools wasn't tryin to hear three-fifty for a 'zone

Hell naw! that's until they got blown
And they came to my door like cuz its on! Blood!
Now I'm goin back and forth
Greyhound hella green in my green Jansport
(Chorus Extended)

[Verse Three: MURS]
Tajai was the first dude I heard say hyphy
Back in '97 when nobody liked me
Or should I say liked us?
Packed in the RV didn't have a tour bus

[The Grouch]
No! But we had that heart though
Intrigued by that old freestyle Leimert Park flow
LA, G-Funk and Bay Area slang
A, W up cause its all the same


[MURS]
1996 was the Hall Of Game
Whole damn summer had the streets on flame (flame)

But I'm kind of ashamed
That I slept on Mac Dre
Godfather of the game


[Grouch]
Wake up, cake up, pilot auto
In Oakland it's tacos
LA I eat Roscoes
Thought you thought
It is what it is
Los Angeles baby, by way of town biz
[Hook]
