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
Back in the days when Ice Cube and Eazy
Had every n**** 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 $hort bumped every super sport
And taught us all how to ride for the West Coast

To my peoples, if you wit’ me, where you at, throw your dubs 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 rideda
That’s why I put it down for the Westside

Didn’t seem that long ago (Oh, no)
We were stealin’ forties out the liquor store (Oh, no)
Mama started trippin’, so it’s time to go
Mobbed to the park with the locsters
Everybody broke, smokin’ roaches
DJ Quik was the s***
Had every n**** claimin’ he was from the CPT
Y’all remember
One time tried to clown
We had to burn this b**** on down

One time for my n****s in incarceration
I blaze a dime wit’ you for havin’ lots of patience
Two times for my sisters at the county building
I got some Westside love for all you ghetto children
Three times for my n****s 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 dubs 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 rideda
Got to give it up for the Westside

From Crenshaw to Foothill Boulevard
All I see is lowlows in mob cars, Daytons and Five Stars
All the true h@#s is hittin’ switches with all the finest riches
Of course the bombest b****es, don’t get it twisted
Ask me what’s a real G
Show me a n**** 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*** to me

One time for my n****s in incarceration (Ooh, yeah)
I blaze a dime with you for havin’ lots of patience
Two times for my sisters at the county building
I got some love for all you little ghetto children
Three times for my n****s 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 dubs in the air
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, can’t stop, you could rideda
You got to give it up for the Westside

To my peoples, if you wit’ me, where you at (Whoa…whoa…whoa…)
Throw your dubs in the air, wave ‘em like you just don’t care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
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 rideda
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

To my peoples, if you wit’ me, where you at, throw your dubs in the air
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 rideda
TQ gon’ give it up for the Westside

To my peoples, if you wit’ me, where you at, throw your dubs in the air
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 rideda
Got to give it up for the Westside
