F5 F#5 Gm F5
Now let me welcome everybody to the Wild Wild West
F#5 Gm
A state that's untouchable like Eliot Ness
F5 F#5 Gm
The track hits your eardrum like a slug to your chest
F5 F#5 Gm
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
F5 F#5 Gm F5
We in that sun___shine state where the bomb ass hemp be
F#5 Gm F5
The state where you never find a dance floor empty
F#5 Gm F5
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
F#5 Gm F5
Lean mean money making machines servin' fiends
F#5 Gm F5
I been in the game for ten years makin' rap tunes
F#5 Gm F5
Ever since honeys was wearin' Sassoon
F#5 Gm
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
F5 F#5 Gm F5
Diamonds shinin', lookin' like I robbed Liberace
F#5 Gm F5
It's all good, from Diego to the Bay
F#5 Gm
Your city is the bomb if your city makin' pay
F5 F#5 Gm F5
Throw up a finger if you feel the same way
F#5 Gm
Dre puttin' it down for California

---------------------
F#5 Gm
bail, fresh out of jail, California dreamin'
F5 F#5 Gm
Soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
F5 F#5 Gm F5 F#5
Fiendin' for money and alcohol, the life of a Westside player
Gm
Where cowards die and the strong ball
F5 F#5 Gm
Only in Cali where we riot, not rally, to live and die
F5 F#5 Gm F5
In L.A. we wearin' Chucks, not Ballys (Yeah, that's right)
F#5 Gm F5
Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits, and ride is what we do
F#5 Gm F5
Flossin' but have caution: we collide with other crews
F#5 Gm
Famous be_cause we throw grams
F5 F#5 Gm
Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans
F5 F#5 Gm
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam
F5 F#5 Gm
It's Westside, so you know the Row won't bow down to no man
F5 F#5 Gm
Say what you say, but give me that bomb beat from Dre
F5 F#5 Gm F5
Let me sere_nade the streets of L.A From Oakland
F#5 Gm F5
to Sac___town, the Bay Area and back down
F#5 Gm
Ca_li is where they put their mack down; give me love!
