Warren G - Keep Tha Peace lyrics

[Verse 1: KAM & (Warren G)] Fool, what that Compton like? (It's like Watts) What was you expectin'? We both checkin' knots Buckin' shots, the Eastside's no joke So take a breather if you neither a G or a loc And you can catch me in traffic Dippin' on gold ones under short skirts like a Catholic But some of y'all need to grow up Set-trippin' when I pa** by sayin' (What them n***as throw up?) When they know where I'm from, I confuse 'em Don't play dumb, remember, um (He a m**m) Every day so I say 'don't get it twisted' I'm talkin' bout your cap, ol' chap, if you missed it But we only want peace The real question is: who down to make war with this beast? Now which side should I ride on? Don't blast, give your brother a pa**, say 'A'ight, go on' But be careful who ya hit up Tryna get a rep but get that young a** lit up So get up and stand up for this Black thang And y'all brothers who g**n, try to keep tha peace [Chorus 2X] [Snoop "Doggy Dogg World"] So put yo' gun away, run away, 'cause I'm back (why) Hit'em up, get'em up, spit'em up (now) [KAM] Stop the k**ing in the West and the East [KAM "Peace Treaty"] For the sake of all the homies that's resting in peace! [Snoop "Doggy Dogg World"] So put yo' gun away, run away, 'cause I'm back (why) Hit'em up, get'em up, spit'em up (now) [KAM] Stop the k**ing from the West to the East [KAM "Peace Treaty"] For the sake of all the homies that's resting in peace! [Verse 2] Yeah, I know you wanna be a hog And love doin' dirt just you and your road dog On a hooride you glide, throwin' up ya sign This is Eastside BGs dumpin' with the nine On ya own kind for a strike, but let 'em be white Then you pa** by the a** wipe Last night one time came thru the hood bustin' Five-O is the ones I ain't trustin' Us in the ghetto got it bad already But always wanna go to war over somethin' petty Steady puttin' work in on another Asiatic A semi-automatic, causin' crazy static Among brothers of the same flesh and bone Just say the wrong word and it's on A family feud, but this ain't no game show We just both got tricked by the same hoe Oh, but now you ain't down for no mission On a crooked cop or a prejudice politician Who you know can't stand yo' guts So stay home 'til you grow some nuts And just keep tha peace CHORUS [Verse 3] Now they say it's on with the esés, right But I know Chicano pride So let's raise better days in jail so I'm quiet Tryin' not to get stuck in a race riot I can't buy it when I hear "That's the enemy!" 'Cause I'm knowin' down deep they're some kin to me Still I gots to defend mine Between love and hate it's a thin line So I take it wit' a grain of salt 'Cause I'm really not knowin' who to blame or fault For this tension I mention the skunk Got crews cave-y, the blue-eyed punk Playin' both sides against each other Now that's the real mutha... You gotta join on to your own, the question is can we Keep it all in the family Stop lettin' outside people in your circle And take away everything that you worked for Show love to yourself if you're willing To stop the k**er, we could stop the k**ing And you can keep the peace CHORUS 2X "I know you got little guns... That little foolish thing you got in your pocket you need to be ashamed But I'm saying to you that with all your weapons, you're only hurting yourself And our young people are dying in the streets of America By the hundreds and by the thousands And it ain't white people k**ing us It's us k**ing one another"
