Eazy-E - Murs

Growing up they said the west had no lyricists

Can you imagine growing up hearing this?

So I took my hip hop serious

Years later now the pen game is Furious

Styles from a Boy-N-The-Hood

Post G-Funk Era trying to do good

What about Quik, and Dub C

King Tee, Eiht, Kurupt and Suga Free?

They Master Ceremonies

And they Move Crowds

See, I’m from the west coast and I’m so proud

This where crack started and we act retarded

Niggas be scrapping in the parking lot at Target

It’s fucked up, but it’s kind of funny

And we be set tripping and it ain’t over money

Red and blue is like Muslim and Jew

And I don’t ever think they’ll stop but I’m praying that they do

In '92 we had a truce for a little bit

Until they started back tripping over little shit

I was young making sense of this crazy world

And my childhood hero had a jheri curl

When Eazy-E was playing on the radio

I knew exactly how my day would go

California sunshine coming in

Singing gangsta rap with all my friends

The origins of California hip hop

Where you can pop lock, or you can get shot

Black, white, latin, asian, living in this melting pot

Throw up your W and it don’t stop

My cousins up north that hit me to the game

It’s all California, but we ain’t all the same

To G’s up there they had a different swag

They was grinding out the trunk getting hella cash

B-Legit man

E-40 dude

Del and Heiro got their start up under Cube

Love to my Bay Area fam

'93 Til Infinity is still the jam

And over 20 year later

They still rocking for the stoners and the skaters

I used to watch videos by Plan B

Dream about hitting up the Hubble Ledge or EMB

Shout out to Tommy B and Ray Barby

Cause there ain’t no party like a Bay Party

When Mac Dre died, I was brokenhearted

Show some love to where the independent game started

The 6−1-9, shout out to Jay-O

Masters Of The Universe, doing it in DayGo

I came up on drive-bys and chronic smoke

And it was hella crazy, but it was kinda dope

When Eazy-E was playing on the radio

I knew exactly how my day would go

California sunshine coming in

Singing gangsta rap with all my friends

The origins of California hip hop

Where you can pop lock, or you can get shot

Black, white, latin, asian, living in this melting pot

Throw up your W and it don’t stop

It goes 6 In The Morning, police at my door

Fresh Adidas squeak across the bathroom floor

Ice was telling stories about an inner city war

He gave the world a taste and they came back for more

They said «bitch"and Fuck Tha Police

They said they’d never make a million talking about the streets

They said they’d never play it on the radio

Now all you hear is gangsta rap everyday and yo

We motherfucking pioneers

All of that shit started out right here

We didn’t make it up but we made if famous

Then we spread it worldwide, go ahead and blame us

Growing up, gang culture taught us loyalty

And that everyone is equal, no royalty

So there’s never been a king of the west coast

We got some OG’s and we respect those

But anyone can get it if there’s beef

And nobody’s undefeated in the streets

I grew up on palm trees and gangsta rap

So pardon me, but I’m thankful for that

You know

Yeah, and I want to take a minute to give a shout out to pioneers who started

this shit.

Rest in peace Mixmaster Spade, Toddy Tee, Greg Mack, K-Day,,

Too $hort, Freddie B, Rappin Ron &Diddley Dog.

The Luniz, Shock G, Saafir,

Casual, Del, Hobo Junction, I know I’m missing a gang of people, Kidd Frost,

Lighter Shade of Brown, Psycho Realm.

Everybody that’s a part of this great

culture.

Freestyle Fellowship, Cypress Hill, B-Real, Tha Dogg Pound.

Did I miss anybody?

I probably missed a gang of niggas man.

Rest in peace to

Eazy-E, Eric Wright.

We out.

West side.
