(verse 1)
Back when i was growing up
eazy-e, dr. dre, mc ren
and then NWA were blowing up
f*** the police, had it sewn up
middle finger to the law
everybody throwin up,
back when ice cube left with it
young started ice-t made the feds
take em off the charts
and to short had em screaming out "b****"
and had the whole west coast bangin out hits
i started banging around the same time dre drop the chronic by the time doggystyle drop out was a smokeaholic puffin on california bombest
i had 20 in the lue's had 5 on me
i raised in the days of vaca's
and homies posted up in the alley with spray paints
and gangsta rap will just describe
how us gangstas act
smokin up on a sack bangin roger & zapp
(hook)
this is music to me
the soundtrack to my life helping me make my wrong's turn to rights
this is music to me
ah way to reminisce smokin out making music like this
this is music to me
its something im addicted to cant you tell in this music that im giving you
this is music to me
it help me come from nothing to something, giving everybody something thats b**ping
(verse 2)
now alot rappers got down
representing kept it true
but up until that point not yet

then lighter shade came
then everybody b**p it

and hit em with "la raza"
