[Warren G]
|
213
|
Childhood homies way back in the day
|
since then it's been 213 the hard way
|
Rapping on the street corners, young as can be
|
All the local groups called us Run-DMC
|
Me? Warren G, I was Jam Master Jay
|
Mixed with my big brother Dr. Dre
|
Now I got shouts to say
|
We still want Eazy like bedstyle people, we want Biggie
|
In memory of Tupac, Left Eye, Aaliyah
|
Heaven sent, say hi to my mama when you see her
|
Rest in peace but let's take it back to the streets
|
With so much drama in the LBC
|
It's kind of hard being a G from 213
|
Times was hard for a superstar
|
But don't nobody notice who you are
|
We worked hard and stayed true to the game
|
Kept faith, kept God and now you know our name
|
|
[Chorus - Nate Dogg]
|
A big shout out to all my family and friends
|
When times got hard, you were still be there
|
You give me inspiration like strength from the sun
|
Feel like destiny's son, yeah
|
|
[Snoop Dogg]
|
To be a rapper was my dream
|
And have a lot of money and live like a king
|
To have a handful of rings
|
And to make the kind of music that the whole world sings
|
Battle rap was the thing
|
And King Park was the spot where all the homeboys hang, bang
|
Just to go do our thang and form my gang
|
And took off white a white boy in a van to get our change
|
And moms knew what time it was
|
And loved the way her baby boy came up, Cuz
|
It's before I was Snoop Dogg on TV
|
I'm talking about when I was like a little bitty BG
|
Nigga me and Warren Gizzy and Nate Dizzy and Fatey Baby
|
are talking about eighty-threezy, flip the clock up to '93
|
And watch me rock the clock nonstop constantly
|
on MTV and BET whatever you want
|
Hit these niggaz with that motherfucking cheese (G-Funk)
|
Funk to shake ya trunk nigga from the bottom bunk
|
Now I'm moving on up, straight living it up
|
Well known in the zone and I'm still homegrown
|
Like Al B Sure, shit I'm on my own
|
But there's one thing I'm missing and that's family
|
Cuz without y'all I don't know where I'd be
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Nate Dogg]
|
There's no way I can forget about you
|
Support for me, your love for me
|
Your prayers for me when I'm in these streets
|
And there's no way I can forget to thank ya
|
For showing me the true meaning of unconditional love ooohhh
|
When I be fucking up you always call my bluff
|
You say you've had enough
|
I just wanna thank ya
|
Yeah yeah yeah
|
I just wanna give
|
|
[Chorus]
