Christopher Portugal - LA9X lyrics

[Double K:] Yo, ayayay, Thes One, man You know, the other day I was thinking about, man The great sh** we had coming up, dude, you know? All that West Coast music? You know, the NWA all the way all the way down to The Pharcyde… remember that, man? Mark Love used to spin that sh**, dude, it was… yeah, yeah, you know what I'm talking about, man, you know? Slapping some skin at Unity, know what I mean? Checking out them girls at them parties, you know? It was all lovely, man I was just thinking about it the other day, man… lotta people, you know, they always wanna know… yeah… they wanna know… [Double K:] Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? A product of L.A., NWA They told me it was KDAY, man, you know I celebrated Picture DJ Pooh and King Tee getting faded Before I grabbed the mic, before I got drunk I was Low Profiling with the funky stuff I'm from the W.C., paid my dues and all that I knew that rhyme pays, Raider hats were ball caps In 1988, Mixmaster Spade One time, gaffled him up before I got laid More bounce to the ounce, and I say what counts I took the funk at a young age in large amounts Screaming, "Compton's in the house!" Bobby Jimmy with a critter, not a quitter The number one West Coast hitter From Fellowship to DJ Quik, Second To None b**h betta have my money!, young n***as having fun The booty up, the booty up, you can do the booty up! Jeanine, she's a dick fiend, stepping to the dope-fiend beat Never came Too Short, see, I was born to Mack And I was sworn to rap, a year after '84 Bumping my sh** loud, my mama banging on the door With the "6 in the morning, police at my door Fresh Adidas squeak across the bathroom floor" Now here we go, you gotta play this "Gangsta gangsta!", that's what they yelling You better get ready, I'm fitting to act a fool Cause the Boys in the Hood are always hard Red or blue, cuz or blood, it just don't matter Once upon a time in the projects, yo! This is for the homies, you can get the ducksick… This is for the homies, you can get the ducksick… [Thes One:] We had Quality Electronics, belt drives Numarks, LinearTechs, and Geminis Melrose, Cracker Breaks, gotta share fries Mark Luv, Bigga B, Unity Lines Goof Troop, Majestics, CBS, Hex USC house party trying to have s** Gang truce, blue and red, letting off lead Cut Chemists' striped shirt, four-foot dreads Big Gulps, beedi smoke, wiling at school PeAkMiJu on the avenue, ooh! Hieroglyphics, Plan B, kickflipping ollies While Mona Lisa sing along to 5 O'Clock Follies Rob One's trunk and doubles of Chief Rocka Pasadena swap, low offer, Mustapha 4-track Tascam, ping-ponging tracks Ben's red Corolla with the system in the back Oh, what a Bizarre Ride, backpack, pants sagging Hanging out on Pico, why does Martin keep bagging? Rap Sheet, Backseat, nickel-sack beats Down-low hookups, freestyling at 3 Like Magic Mountain swap meet, Fresh Jive jeans I was dreaming when I wrote this, remembering the scene And L.A., how I love you all, and how much you all mean I was dreaming when I wrote this, just thinking of the scene With the world, world ultimate, hot potato, hot, hot potato Yo' mama's so fat (how fat is she?), sunbeams, bright side dreams Listen up, check it, E-Rule's about to wreck it Pen predator, et cetera, yeah right Cla** clown, what time is it? Make room, for the beats, and beats that bump Make room, for the something, something and bump Make room for the mixtapes… But now I'm an MC… I got the Latin lingo ([Double K:] funky bilingual… let's go!) [Both:] L.A.! (repeated) [Double K:] Yeah, man, that's what I'm talking about… You know, school them s**as, man, let 'em know where we come from, you know? It ain't about all that ol' wack sh** they hearing, it's about what we bring to 'em, you know what I mean? C'mon, uh c'mon, uh c'mon, uh, L.A.! C'mon, uh c'mon, uh c'mon, and in the Bay! C'mon, uh c'mon, uh c'mon, uh… uh c'mon Do the Sen Dog dance, y'all… yo… Uh, do the Sen Dog dance, y'all… c'mon… Do the Sen Dog! ([Double K, Sen Dog style:] Do the Sen Dog!) Do the Sen Dog! (Do the Sen Dog!) Do the Sen Dog! (Do the Sen Dog!)
