LYRICS:
[Hook]
I got the G shit I got that shit that'll make you feel alright
Feel alright, feel alright
[Conejo]
I did what I did, That's why I'm highly respected
I came from a varrio [?] west connected
Ese drug dealing nights And gang banging days
I blaze more haze Then I spit that phrase
The law can't stop me Nor the drought
This a cocaine world It's what the game's about
I went that route This a dirty business
I'm talking about that heroine That I put in your district
I said it once And I'll say it again
You step on my toes Aim shots at your head
This ain't hard for me This how I be
Shit I've seen in my life Affected me
I knocked out teeth With shotgun handles
And I been in dark rooms Only lit by candles
To the skethos I make money regardless
I assess I'm a bless The whole west regardless
[Jokaboy]
It's that west coast where we bang them hammers
We don't smoke bammer pure Cali funk
AK and a body stashed up in the truck
You're shit out of luck come fuck with a rider
City of Compton all golden wires
On that blue Six-Four sitting on rosecrans
Underneath the bridge with the guns cocked back, yeah
I'm a beast just like a grizzly I'm from the golden state
Where them guns stay busy I'm a warrior, call me Baron Davis
Known to send shot through your ben davis
City of God, who the fuck gon' save us?
It hasn't been the same since Davis took the Raiders
All black khakis with that all black glide
I roam with outlaws just like 2Pac
[Conejo]
I cleaned up the mess with the SKS, ain't much I could tell you
But I want success diographical verses
They fascinated with mines I'm a D-boy serving
Fucking gripping my nine and when I take the stage
One thing's made clear from a lyrical sparring
To a death in the rear for real holmes
That's word out here muthafuckas want beef
They get dealt for real and you got damn right
Your shit don't sell so you better watch your mouth
I got street intel naw naw it ain't none of your business we the westside car
See the smoke in the distance
Brick flippin' in this underworld ese buddah cigarettes
All my steps get twirled spark a doobie
For the homies that knew me all bullshit aside
This Conejo: The Movie
