[Jacka]
|
The Bay Area
|
Yeah boy that's where I'm from
|
I remember '85
|
That's when they cracked with cum
|
A lot of niggas got gritz
|
But most these niggas got stung
|
With years under they belt
|
Tryin' to feel what they felt
|
To be the nigg
|
Watch the ice it don't melt
|
'86 through '88
|
The game got bigger
|
We done hit the block
|
Squatin' baby ninjas
|
On our way to school
|
Park my shit around the corner
|
So fly, so cool
|
Young nigga
|
Brooklyn breed MC's
|
The Bay breed drug dealers
|
You got a youngsta that flows
|
I got a young nigga that push coke
|
Plus he got hoes
|
Stay on the rope
|
Can't understand life
|
But grab the mic
|
And let the track explode
|
|
[Chorus: Dee Dee]
|
And you know I'm from the Bay
|
Muthafuckin' A-R-E-A
|
You know what I mean
|
No other place I'd rather be
|
And you know I don't try to flee
|
To another muthafuckin' state
|
You know what I mean
|
It wasn't thug enough for me
|
|
[Jacka]
|
On my way to the port
|
To drop my nigga Cormega
|
On Too $hort birthday
|
Plus all the Figaz together
|
The boys put us on the way
|
To hustle up out the weather
|
Yuk 85 turned out
|
Hit the corner hit
|
Then hit me on my burn out
|
When you niggas gon' learn 'bout
|
The muthafuckin' Bay
|
It's superthug where I stay
|
Frisco, North Richmond to O-A-K
|
Central South Richmond and E-P-A
|
Pittsburg got the coke
|
For a price you must pay
|
Yeah boy, believe what they say
|
Ain't nothin' scarier than the Bay
|
High speed everyday
|
Adolescents tuck weapons
|
Niggas bleed everyday
|
You got to have heart
|
Just to fit up where I stay
|
And I've been everywhere
|
Ain't nothin' thuggin' of me
|
Yo, we live this shit
|
That you see on T.V. (what)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Jacka]
|
Fuck 'em, one time
|
Like Hittaz On Da Payroll
|
Hits on the street
|
The radio don't ever play so
|
Don't nobody know
|
Who the real niggas is
|
I dedicate this rap
|
To the muthafuckin' Figz
|
3 X Krazy, Askari X, The Click,
|
Mescaline, J.T. The Bigga Figga,
|
The Gamblaz; them my niggas
|
The Young D Boyz, Mac Mall,
|
Never Legal, Sick Insane, Lil' Ric
|
Mr. Braid, The Hoodfellas,
|
Sincydal, San Quinn, Mac Dre,
|
Willie Hen, Too $hort, Father Don,
|
Lil' Boots, Mac Shawn, R.B.L., 11/5,
|
Guce, Sandman, and P.O.D.E.,
|
Can't forget G-O-V
|
And Seagram rest in peace
|
And Rappin' Ron
|
Rest in peace too
|
I got my ears to the streets too
|
This for the yay
|
And they never could defeat you
|
The Ghetto Starz, Big Block, and
|
Richie Rich, 2 Pac, and 51/50
|
What the shit
|
So with Digital Underground
|
And Souls of Mischief
|
Spice 1, Pooh Man, Dangerous Dame, and
|
Young Cellski, C-Bo, Yukmouth, and Nutty B
|
You out a town and study me
|
Want me to show you
|
How you should be
|
You niggas thugs now
|
But we been that
|
And I'm the proof
|
Cuz now it's back
|
Where I begin at [echoes out]
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
