When We Party
フェイス・エヴァンス & ノトーリアス・B.I.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking I'm gon stop, giving LA props
Ain't no party like a West Coast party
'Cause a West Coast party don't stop
When we party on the West Coast (on the West Coast)
Drinkin' and smokin' all night, all night long
We keep it funky on the West Coast
I got love for my people on the West Coast, yeah
When the la-la hits ya, lyrics just splits ya
Head so hard, that your hat can't fit you
Either I'm with ya or against ya
Format venture, back through that maze I sent ya
The maze is a daze, I blaze, I will amaze
Smokin' while you're loccin' with some California A's
Me and B.I.G., what it is, get it in
Sippin' gin with the Hen in the alleyway
Bangin' the Cali way
Talking to the rap inventor
Nigga with the game tight, fifth of that flame right
Spell my name right, B-I, double-G, I-E
Iced out, lights out, me and Cease-a-Leo
S-N-double O-P, big D-O
Old school nigga, '84 El Camino
LBC know, we love Biggie though
I.E.Y. in even Bernadino
When we party on the West Coast (on the West Coast)
Drinkin' and smokin' all night, all night long
We keep it funky on the West Coast
(They gon' keep it funky on the West Side)
I got love for my people on the West Coast, yeah
Going back to Cali, strictly for the weather
Women and the weed - sticky green
No seeds bitch please, Poppa ain't soft
Dead up in the hood, ain't no love lost
Y'all know I'm from the West, I'm the king to be exact
You better holla at me when you need that chronic sack
I got it all, one call, no stall, on the ball
Winter, spring, summer, fall
Listen to me, holla at ya dogg
Words of the clever, forever multiply
Birds of a feather, preparin' 'em to fly
Perfection, selection
This is a B.I.G. D.P.G.C. connection
I'ma spell my name one more time, check it
It's the, N-O, T-O, R-I, O
U-S, you just, lay down, slow
Sipping on booze in the House of Blues, what it do!
When we party on the West Coast (on the West Coast)
Drinkin' and smokin' all night, all night long
(We be drinkin' and smokin' all night)
We keep it funky on the West Coast
(We gon' keep it funky on the West Side)
I got love for my people on the West Coast, yeah
Party jumpin' like hydraulics when we start it
Ain't no stoppin', they be puffin' on that chronic
On the West Coast
We keep it funky on the West Coast
(We gon' keep it funky on the West Side)
I got love for my people on the West Coast, yeah
Don't you wanna ride with me?
Don't you wanna ride?
People come and ride with me
To the West Side
Ain't no party like a West Coast party
'Cause a West Coast party don't stop
Don't you wanna ride with me?
Don't you wanna ride?
People come and ride with me
To the West Side
Ain't no party like a West Coast party
'Cause a West Coast party don't stop
On the West Coast, yeah
Havin' a party on the West Side
Know you wanna ride with me
Know you wanna ride

Zita Csarnai
It's from 2017 and still sounds like the old school ones... I wish we had more songs like this because today's hip hop is really not my style🤔
Legacy Nation
True! If they just make more real hip hop the world will be a better place. 💪👑☺
Mark Allen
Hip hop is hip hop this hip hop is for dancing the old school hip hop was about the lyrics so I disagree and theres no such thing as real hip hop
