The West Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
And it's real

[Verse 1]
Ayo, crusin' down Western with them colorful hats
Gold and that black such a lovable match
The rap Huxtable, comfy like bubbles and baths
Wasn't fucking with the putting brown bubbles in bags
I'm from the West, my flag got that brown bear on it
Sagged and rocked rags when my folks ain't condone it
When the folks and the stones was opponents
I was postin' in my room
, staring at the wall
Wishing I was a baller, a little bit taller
Now I'm 6'4", I want a '6-4 Impala

System serving the city, city staining walls up, uh
Thinking bout my father when I look at that revolver
Wild West

[Verse 2]
Nigga, ayo
Peeling on Crenshaw, Crippin' with Co$$, uh
KRIT up in the bulls, B&B be the boss
Trying not to floss the hog sauce or the Häagen-Dazs
Hopping off, holla at me, huh, mad personality
Swag on, Vernon Ave, Trojan on the Trojan cap
Orange juice Simpson my nigga, could have murked that
Circled back, I seen her, she bendy, she kinda bad
If she don't know your boy, tell her to hop in the back
I keep the chrome strap under both seats like my OG
Cold streets put the heat back where it's supposed to be
Rollin' through the drive-in smoking weed, locing
When niggas wasn't supposed to be back then
The West, the West, the West
[Hook]
The West Coast know what's up
Cause, cause I been around
Do you know why?
The West Coast know what's up
Cause, cause I been around


[Verse 3]
Uh, sitting on Slauson for the fish and the bread
Uh, Cs on my head like the Cincinnati Reds

Niggas know my business like them bitches is Feds
I'm might Chauncey Billups niggas if I get to they head
I called M.E.D just to get to some meds, Co$$ fled
Cough red, gangrene to the head, same thing to D-Nez
Now stranded on Western like a western with the, uh
Bold sweater, yo, them niggas know my gestures
Chicks was all pepper cause she knew I'd sweat her
If I was a regular, but I'm a G, I threw that letter up

Cali's a G too, I met her once
She told me when all them West Africans stayed here, they cheddar up
Gave her gold, as a child born, flesh and blood
Called them Blu just to prove the West won
The West

[Hook]
Cause, cause I been around
Do you know why?
Cause, cause I been around
Do you know why?
Cause, cause I been around
Do you know why?
Cause, cause I been around
