I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

Long Beach and Compton are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where the shit goes down

[ VERSE 2 ]

Now niggas^✦ like they credit^✦ and they like to get they loans on

So I hooked^✦ up with my boy who turns them phones^✦ on

He told me bout this nigga^✦ who won't pay

He also^✦ said he knew excactly where the muthafucka stay

So I went and got some homies^✦ I hang with

Some crazy^✦ muthafuckas who I used^✦ to bang with

We took a trip to his crib

I snatched his ho and his kids, and this is what we did

I tied they punk ass up

I cracked the safe with an axe, and then the phones^✦ we cut

I didn't hurt his wife

But I promised next time that I would take her life

I shot a nigga^✦ in his neck for disrespect, caught a body^✦

Got a murder^✦ in Miami^✦ for a shoot-out at a party^✦

Got blood in my trunk from a punk who squealed

Had a partner tried to play me and his cap I peeled^✦

Now I rest with my finger^✦ on my heater^✦

Hand on my beeper,^✦ a light sleeper

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

New York and Philly^✦ are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where my shit goes down

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

Frisco^✦ and Oakland are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where my shit goes down

[ VERSE 3 ]

I use to sling enough^✦ water^✦ you could float a boat

You could ski on the mountains of fuckin^✦ coke

But now most niggas^✦ serve chronic

So I let em check the bank, and then I'm all up on it

I serve em with a cute ho

In a week they tell my bitches 'bout all they dough

Then I jack and I kill

The jack's for the money,^✦ the kill's for thrills

I got 9'000 blacks that still serve crack

Got a bitch who works the Plaza^✦ too on the track

Got a GTA connection and I fence for jewels

Got some little kids that move my fuckin^✦ dope in schools

Got warrants for arrest^✦ in about^✦ 20 states^✦

Got a bigger^✦ body^✦ count than fuckin^✦ Norman^✦ Bates^✦

I'm a killer,^✦ jacker,^✦ dealer,^✦ pimp supreme

I'm livin^✦ out the hustler dream

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

Houston and Atlanta are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where that shit goes down

[ VERSE 4 ]

Tonight I gotta^✦ meet this nigga^✦ from around the way

Some think he's cool, I think he's DEA

He said he want it bad, he heard that I got it good

I bagged^✦ up ten ki's of flour and met him in the hood

I met him at my spot, cause I know it's cool

Pat him down on sight to remove^✦ his tool

I made him name 10 niggas^✦ he should know

But that still ain't shit in the game of blow

He asked^✦ to see the dope, I asked^✦ to see the cash

He reached for that briefcase too fast

A fuckin^✦ pig, yo, he thought he had the jump

I had my nigga^✦ in the closet^✦ with a bull pump

And now there's^✦ fuckin^✦ shot-up body^✦ all on the floor

But that's what the shovel's for...

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

Newark and Miami^✦ are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where my shit goes down

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

Detroit and Chicago are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where that shit goes down

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

D.C. and Cleveland are some down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where the shit goes down

I lowride^✦ and I sag and cuss

I cover^✦ my face with the rag and bust

I know all my niggas^✦ live in down-ass^✦ towns

But South Central^✦ L.A. is where my shit goes down
