One nine weighs a ton How the f** you think that the West was won? Now sh** can be squashed over a forty ounce of backwash No jokes, the land of locs and hundred spokes In the East, we can be brothers But when you come to L.A., watch your motherf**in colors West Up! n***a [Chorus] [Verse Four: WC] Give it up, give it up Like the n***a James Brown, me and my n***as are puttin it down So bustas be wary cause see we represent the city Where n***as caught slippin is left with they brains drippin City of the Angels, more like a concrete jungle Full of macks Cadillacs and crack sacks I pledge allegiance to the sh** till I die [Mack 10] So let the five-twenty slide and put it down from the WestSide [Chorus] WestSide!!! ("Throwin up the W")
