Bow-wow (Uh-huh)
Goddamn
It’s a motherf***in’ Dogg House/Battlecat collaboration right here
You know this motherf***in’ thing got to be
Straight West Coast thing
Peep the script

I bang with the gang that don’t need no intro
Who run from East Long Beach to West South Central
Credentials to kick flows and rip shows
Dip 4s and pimp h**s while the indo blow
You know that West Coast loc mentality focused on reality
But livin’ in a whole ‘nother galaxy
We keep it straight, hard Bogart the spot
Bang and snatch chains in the parkin’ lot
Don’t matter, it still be fine h**s together
Think about the thickest b**** and I gots to have her
It’s routine to poop clean, let’s hit the show
You know we all f***in’ once they glimpse the pole
Rip the satin in my hand, pack the gat on my lap
‘Cause it’s hatin’ when you skatin’ and your pockets is phat
Don’t act for a minute like your a** surprised
Just recognize the real way that gangstas ride

If it ain’t chronic, don’t blaze it up
And if it ain’t a Chevy, don’t race it up
You know we keep it bangin’, don’t fake the funk
So all the real n****s stayed gangstad up

We makin’ papers suckers only claim to touch
By stickin’ to the script and never changin’ up
You know we keep it bangin’, don’t fake the funk
Keep it real, motherf***er, stayed gangstad up

It’s goin’ down motherf***ers like that
Sound like Battlecat and upstairs was jack
And at night you don’t stop
I hope nobody don’t call the cops
It don’t stop, the beat’ll make you pop lock
Not better yet ‘cause the city keep you glock cocked
You think I’m trippin’, fool, I ain’t bulls****in’
You better read the phony s***, but keep the latest non-fiction
Watch out for the friction
This West Coast on mind, and f*** anybody dissin’, n****, listen
Dogg House style ‘cause I’m a gangsta Crypt
See walkin’ holdin’ on a extra clip
Now you wanna be a friend
But you gon’ make me unload, slap the other clip in below
You wanna go toe to toe, sit my pistol down on the ground on the Pound
N****, hell no

I’m stayin’ gangstad up
‘Cause it just lives in me
And when I’ve seen enough
I guess that’s when I’ll free somebody

One time when will they see
N****, don’t speak on me
I won’t stop, so let me be
We all from the streets, somebody

I’m a Long Beach Eastside mad a** lunatic
Gang-bang, slap a b****, n**** out to get a grip
On the grind, gettin’ mine, ask the homies on the 920, you know
We steal on n****s who talk big s***
Real n****s feel this, let’s get rich
Under the sun with the young 2-1s
TLC and all the DPGs
Down for whatever, whoever wanna see me now
You lookin’ like me, I guess you wanna be me now
It take a whole life to be Snoop, people duh
You gotta put it down and always stayed g’d up
All-star shoes with the G apparel
If I fall a nightclub I must bust a pair of Stacey Adams
You’ll never catch me lookin’ R&B
I might be in a 3-piece suit lookin’ way OG
Blazin’ a ounce with the homey Cat
A rough dogg ‘cause I love puttin’ blisters on the map
I keep it gangta fo’ sure, though, loc
And always got the motherf***in’ dodo smoke
For all my locs and kin folks, this is for y’all
(What up) Let me hit some, dogg
Beware of my clip, we hoppin’ to drop it
Nuttin’ but the gangsta s***

If it ain’t chronic, don’t blaze it up
And if it ain’t a Chevy, don’t race it up
You know we keep it bangin’, don’t fake the funk
So all the real n****s stayed gangstad up

We makin’ papers suckers only claim to touch
By stickin’ to the script and never changin’ up
You know we keep it bangin’, don’t fake the funk
Keep it real, motherf***er, stayed gangstad up

Gangstas
Dogghouse
Somethin’ for the 9-5 plus 4 digits
Tre D, Golden Loc, yeah
(Long Beach, Long Beach)
My n**** Battlecat on this beat
Busters for life, yeah, yeah, yeah
West Side, yeah
You can’t spell the West without the E-S
Oh, yeah, we connectin’, y’all
This how we do it
And we out
See ya
