Lakers Lyrics

[Produced by Madlib]

[Intro: Freddie Gibbs]
Hello, this is headquarters
For sure, Gangsta Gibbs, baby
Uhh, E-S to the G-N, yeah
L.A., shout out, hahahah, yeah

[Verse 1: Freddie Gibbs]
Nigga, fuck it, '77 Cutlass
I move my ass to Cali with my Indiana bucket
I need to slap a wet one on the frame, a little rusty
They call my shit a scraper, in the Bay the bitches love it

And I'm choking on some Cali good
Been wanted to cruise on Crenshaw
Since a little nigga watching "Boyz n the Hood"
Since Ricky got killed, copping that corn meal

Before the palm trees, pussy and the recording years
I was overdue for a visit
A valley bitch with family in the Chi gave me the digits
The 8-1-8, the sex was great, perfect the art of fornication
Put a bitch out the car for a bar, your Cali conversation
All my hoes from way back want me to be chilling where they at
G.I. until I die but bitch L.A. is where I lay at

My children gon' be raised at where they gon' place my grave at
Since Magic bought the team, he brought new meaning to that L.A. hat
And shout out to the blocks; Inglewood, Compton, South Central to Watts

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This track is an ode to Los Angeles, a city that Gibbs, despite being from Gary, Indiana, is very familiar with.

Ab-Soul, on a guest verse, and Polyester the Saint, on the hook, are both LA residents, as well as producer Madlib and Gibbs himself, even though the latter has been there for a shorter time.

Despite Gibbs living in L.A. for years, he’s still not a Lakers fan.
