[Anacron, Z-Mane, Mr. Dope, America - So West Coast lyrics]
This the California that you don't yet know
Once you get a grasp on it, you won't let go
There's more than you have seen
On television screens
And these the things that make
Us so West Coast
I'm so LA in ways y'all ain't even know LA
DIS4, Venice Shore all day
But KDubb kept me cool with the OFA's
Lower Ladera was my home base
Where the light-skinned
Middle class Black folk stay
Only 10 minutes away from Leimert Park
Where Crenshaw cultivated culture and art
Proud brown Bohemes were my role-models
So I took the word of
Watts Prophets out to Chicago
But, I'm LA all day, with 'nuff bravado
Avocado tilapia tacos in a Murcielago
Yeah, Cali got surfer bitches
Blonde babes in bikinis
Up and down the beaches
But whatchu know about Armenians
Fine ass Glendale Gallerinians
Look it up, get your Wikipedi in
See me in Zankou, Garlic sauce on my chickian
But what about the Mexicans that
Listen to The Smiths
Oldies is cool but Rockabilly
Is how they dress
Here in California Art Laboe is still the lik
I dedicate this song with all
My corazon and shit
When I'm up in Humboldt I
Ain't trying to smoke
Blueberry donuts to the neck from Don's loc
Like the Bay Area, diverse and innovative
I'm a free-thinker, real San Francisco native
You from the East Coast, Midwest
Or Dirty South moving out West to get away
'cause you been dreaming about
Changing your life? Right here in
The city with me
Come and see me in The Tenderloin
Where it's cultural, gritty
Grimy - Find me eating
Vietnamese, puffing trees in the streets
Right in front of police
If you a native we knowin
Knowin Fijians, Indians, Samoans
Orange and Black
Far up the Pacific Ocean in fact
The population's growin' and growin'
And growin' and growin'
Like a Redwood or Sequoia
You know what I'm talkin'bout mane?
You need to come out here, mane
Know what I'm talkin'bout
Once you get a grasp on it, you won't let go
There's more than you have seen
On television screens
And these the things that make
Us so West Coast
I'm so LA in ways y'all ain't even know LA
DIS4, Venice Shore all day
But KDubb kept me cool with the OFA's
Lower Ladera was my home base
