Mr. Criminal - From the West Point of View lyrics
[Mr. Criminal - From the West Point of View lyrics]
(Point of View)
Music in my blood, California keep it true
(Keep it true)
I'm from the blocks where we grew up on 2pac
(Haha)
My Generations G to Generations fake walk
Sleep away from the windows so
You don’t hear the gunshots
I grew up nightly, listening to the boombox
Sitting crouched with a blank cassette
In the tape deck
Taped over those, so I could play it
Record it play it over and over
The mind of a music fiend
Before I was a soldier
Used to get lost in my head
Bose with my Walkman
Listening to new artists, flip Roger Troutman
Like More Bounce
Doo Wa Ditty and Computer Love
The new generation these days
Is computer thugs
They don't know about Power
106, 923 The Beat, no battles in the street
Just all the homies tatted back
Ragging with the heat
I remember gang back get lost
Listening to Dre Day
NWA posted up with some AKs
And that was way before it
Was a motion picture
93 West Coast year was coming together
You see New York had the
Quote unquote MCs and Lyricists
While West Coast was nothing but Gees
You know they fearing this
I'm doing this straight from the streets
This is West coast!
A little hiphop from the west point of View
(Point of View)
Music in my blood, California keep it true
(Keep it true)
I’m from the blocks where we grew up on 2pac
(Haha)
My Generations G to Generations fake walk
The music these days, just ain't the same
Autotune drowned out the game, what a shame
Nowadays foos looking feminine with
Their tight jeans
Goofy ass glasses on looking like Spike Lee
I'm like hey what's up hello, no
They say you wanna watch the nay nay, no
It's like these weenies got a corn dog flow
So now they on nothing but
Muster sounds and beats raw
It don't surprise me
I'm from the 90s where you had to had some
Skills to get on the M I C
Nowadays you gotta be a Young Thug
To make it on the Radio and
Take it up the butt
Not a Criminal, I just ain't the one
Don’t forget where I came from
No gimmicks since day one
Representing truly for the music
I was raised on i can guarantee Eazy
Nate and Pop would be proud
This young Latino Brown influenced
Off of their styles
Would make it out of the crowd
(West coast in the house)
More bounce to the ounce
(West coast in the house)
Representing for the Brown
Put it down for the south
A little hiphop from the west point of View
(Point of View)
Music in my blood, California keep it true
(Keep it true)
I’m from the blocks where we grew up on 2pac
(Haha)
My Generations G to Generations fake walk
Know this, I'm speaking the truth
House West Coast radio played
Bumped center of our rooms
We should be ashamed of the music these days
Homies I mentioned would be
Turning in their graves
Influenced by G shit, not a fan of Hip-hop
West coast, South Side
Known to make this shit pop
Represent till the shit drop
Not worried about what the
Industry considers hot
A little hiphop from the west point of View
(Point of View)
Music in my blood, California keep it true
(Keep it true)
I’m from the blocks where we grew up on 2pac
(Haha)
