WESTSIDE (Lyrics) - TQ

[Intro]
This is goin' out
To the whole wide Westside
Know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah
Break it down for me
Steady Mobbin (Rock) rock on

[Verse 1]
I was just a young boy livin' in the Hub City
Eastside Compton, G
Back in the days when Ice Cube and Eazy
Had every nigga talkin' 'bout, "Boy, you can't fuck with me"
Remember Ice-T had the power (Ooh, wee)
Hearin' gunshot lickin' by the hour
When Too $hort bumped in every supersport
And told us all how to ride for the West Coast

[Hook]
To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at, throw your dubs in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day, any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop, can't stop
You could ride or die
That's why I put it down for the Westside

[Verse 2]
It would seem that long ago (Oh, no)
We were stealin' forties out the liquor store (Oh, no)
Mama started trippin', so it's time to go
Mob to the park with the locstas
Everybody broke smokin' roaches
DJ Quik was the shit
Had every nigga claimin' he was from the CPT
Y'all remember
One time tried to clown
We had to burn this bitch on down

[Bridge]
One time for my niggas in incarceration (ooh, yeah)
I blaze a dime with you for havin' lots of patience
Two times for my sisters at the county building
I got some love for all you little ghetto children
Three times for my niggas that done passed away
I tip some gin for you and pray for better days
One day everything's gonna be fine
But until that day my only reply
Is "westside till I die"

[Hook]
To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at, throw your dubs in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day, any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop, can't stop
You could ride or die
Got to give it up for the westside

[Verse 3]
From Crenshaw to Foothill Boulevard
All I see is lolos in mob cars, Daytons and Five Stars
All the true hoes is hittin' switches with all the finest riches
Of course the bombest bitches, don't get it twisted
Ask me what's a real G
Show me a nigga scrappin' back against the wall until his knuckles bleed
Screamin' death to all our enemies and those who don't believe
West Coast livin' be the shit to me

[Bridge]
One time for my niggas in incarceration (ooh, yeah)
I blaze a dime with you for havin' lots of patience
Two times for my sisters at the county building
I got some love for all you little ghetto children
Three times for my niggas that done passed away
I tip some gin for you and pray for better days
One day everything's gonna be fine
But until that day my only reply
Is "westside till I die"

[Hook]
To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at, throw your dubs in the air
Wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day (All day), every day (Every day), any damn day (Any damn day)
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on (Goin' on and on), it don't stop (And on and on), won't
Stop, can't stop
You could ride or die
You got to give it up for the Westside

To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at (Whoa...whoa...whoa...)
Throw your gloves in the air, wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day (Every day), any damn day (Any damn day)
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on (Goin' on and on), it don't stop (And on and on), won't
Stop (And on and on), can't stop
You could ride or die
La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at, throw your gloves in the air
Wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day (All day), every day (Every day), any damn day (Any damn day)
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop, can't stop
You could ride or die
TQ gon' give it up for the Westside

To my peoples, if you hear me, where you at, throw your dubs in the air
Wave 'em like you just don't care
From L.A. to the Bay, what you say
All day, every day, any damn day
Take a look around, we got the whole world locked down
Goin' on and on, it don't stop, won't stop, can't stop
You could ride or die
Got to give it up for the Westside

[Outro]
Dedicated to Eric "Eazy-E" Wright, 2Pac Shakur

[rosiebritten]

Me and My big Brother's song from 2003 🖤💛❤️💯🎯👌🏾😇

[chrisneal]

Miss this shit makes me cry. I played t sports in high school and my and my homies went Bakersfield College . After w years we transferred to Cal State Long Beach. When we moved to Long Beach, we would go to clubs in LA. If people fucked with any of us we would shut that mfkng club down. Whooping ass, tearing shit up. But they never knew who thfk we were. Been kick out of Raiders game, California Angel's games. Driven to the US / Tijuana border and kicked out of Mexico by their cops. So many chances to die and for some fkng reason still on this planet.

[ninajoananarciso]

still listening to this song up to now!,

[ra_redesignautomobiles]

Back in 2004s, my uncle played this on his 2003 Toyota Rav4, never payed attention to lyrics only the melody and rhythm in the beginning and chorus while his stereo is in bass boosted. Which made me liked the song . Now i listen to smooth jazz, only playing this on 2012 Toyota Fortuner as a homage

[GravitationObservation]

The sub for the lyrics is off by the mile but this is still a classic💯 s/o TQ for the elementary memories #nostalgia

[erl]

I had a buddy that introduced me to this song that was on my wrestling team that later died in Iraq.

[kurikurikurikurikong]

I'm not hip hop, but the quote of this song is very nice
