The Bay to LA - The Grouch, Murs

I grew up in the bay

So I’m down to earth

I live in L.A.

That means I’m down to work

I Got a laid back style

But I like to floss it

Vans and Chucks inside my closet

LA face with an Oakland booty

That’s what my wife got

She don’t act snooty

Ay that’s a Bay thang

So come with that A game

But be on the A list

To see an LA Chick

Los Angeles we all can’t handle it

Some call it plastic

That’s just the half of it

Like the cows on the 5 when you mash you quit

That’s a drive but it flies when you passionate

Yeah… I got family up north

Homies down south man it’s all home court

We take it back and forth

Some Oakland Raiders

The Bay to LA, like Amoeba player

What did you think this was

LA to the Bay, the buzz

The buzz, the buzz

What did you think this was

LA to the Bay, the buzz

The buzz, the buzz

I keep my hustle you know

I make it go

The Bay to La, the Bay to LA

Uh, and all my homies say «Rip!

«When I first got to the Bay, I straight tripped

Blood!

blood!

What’s that all about?

Tommy’s got these broads sayin’blood in his house?

Cause, but I ain’t thugged out

Ignorance off my chest I let it out

(It's all good) now I’m back on my grind

On telegraph with them fat ass dimes

(I got tapes) see the Bay got that lime

And LA we was still smokin brown at the time

Ugg, so when I got back home

Fools wasn’t tryin to hear 3−54 zone

Hell naw!

that’s until they got blown

And they came to my door like cause it’s on!

Blood!

Now I’m goin back and forth

Greyhound hella green in my green Jansport

Tajai was the first dude I heard say hyphy

Back in '97 when nobody liked me

Or should I say liked us?

Packed in the RV didn’t have a tour bus

No!

But we had that heart though

Intrigued by that old freestyle LaMerk Part flow

LA, G-Funk and Bay Area slang

A, W up cause it’s all the same

1996 was the Hall Of Game

Whole damn summer had the streets on flame

But I’m kind of ashamed

That I stepped on Mac Dre

Godfather of the game

Wake up, cake up, pilot auto

In Oakland it’s taco’s

LA I eat Rascos

Thought you thought

It is what it is

Los Angeles baby, by way of town biz
