Yea, right
|
Compton, South Central Watts, Longbeach, Engelwood
|
(I'm reminiscing bout my ghetto dayz)
|
West Coast for life, live and die for this shit
|
(I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)
|
|
When I was young living life on the run,
|
Eleven years old real life no goals,
|
Sneaking little sips in the cut,
|
I¡¯m taking low hits in the cut
|
Before they even called me Kurupt,
|
Ridin down the block so I¡¯ma tell you how I grew up,
|
I was always in the mix, too young for sticks
|
Ty tell ¡®em about that Watts experience
|
|
In Watts, a nigga couldn't wait for the summer time
|
Back yard barbeques yea that'll free your mind,
|
We stayed fallin of them ice cream trucks,
|
All my niggas nickel baging it and hustling bucks,
|
You could catch me in the middle of the streets
|
Slap boxing with my nigga Porky,
|
And as I take you down my memory lane
|
I'm reminiscin¡¯ ¡®bout my ghetto dayz
|
Let ¡®em know
|
|
Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin ¡®bout my ghetto dayz)
|
Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin ¡®bout my ghetto dayz)

|
I ain¡¯t changed nigga, I¡¯m just busy
|
Fuck bein¡¯ broke nigga, I'm filthy
|
Got a problem wit me holla at me I'll be back in 6 months
|
I'm on the road getting¡¯ my money up
|
And I remember all the young soldiers in the hood
|
Tryin to gang bang slingin nickel bags
|
Screamin¡¯ money ain¡¯t a thing, for real
|
I know exactly how yall feel
|
I'm reppin black and brown pride
|
West Side til I die
|
|
I got a lot of rider in me
|
I was thinkin, couple years older, 14 smokin and drinkin
|
Thinkin bout uncle jame's army
|
The old folks love it
|
I'm just gettin up in the game
|
And gang bang bubbly
|
Crinshaws crackin, durin the day got schwinns
|
On sundays watchin all the big homies spin
|
I won't dance
|
Cuz thats all I see
|
That¡¯s like the army
|
That¡¯s all you can be
|
|
I used to love feedin polices and cheap coast
|
Watch me jump up in the push to play hide and go get it I'm wit it
|
And all them hoodrats used to hold us down on the block
|
Reminiscin bout my first piece of cock
|
|
Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)
|

|
Truth is I ran way when I was 5 years old
|
Ran til my A 1's had holes in the soles
|
I had 3 silk shirts, 2 pairs of jebose
|
Spent the night at boo's house, we was sharin his clothes
|
Moms left me out in the cold
|
Worst that that my man took 5 shots and he aint lose his soul
|
I was livin with a blind man's vision
|
And no matter how hard I tried, I could never see prison
|
And to all my dead homies, we don't pour out liquor
|
We just poke our chests out, and say we miss ya niggas
|
We was scared of gang bangers, walked to school in groups
|
Argued who was the best MC, Ice Cube or Snoop
|
Damn, I miss my ghetto dayz
|
Whether it was Coca Cola or straight coke we found a way
|
Hey and the memories of EZ and Pac
|
California we all we got
|
|
Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)
|
Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)

Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)

Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)
|
|
I remember when I used to say I wanna rap and sing
|
All my niggas used to laugh at me
|
But now, I'm on top of my game
|
But now, it ain¡¯t a damn thing changed
|
Ghetto superstar to Coca Cola
|
All my people locked down, got nothin but love for ya
|
Stay strong, cuz I know it ain¡¯t easy
|
Come home, cuz we miss ya on the streets
|
Sweet ladies how you gonna act like that
|
It¡¯s your baby boy holla back
|
So let me take you down my memory lane
|
Reminiscin¡¯ bout my ghetto dayz
|

Let me take you back ooooooo (I'm reminiscin bout my ghetto dayz)
