LBC D-E-F-G
I'm H-I off J's bellin in a T-shirt and blue jeans
well few dreams ever come true
well some do, so nigga say (I'm from the beach too)
Long Beach City G's Funkin
and its a pity who many we's punk and drunk
in a hotel lobby at a town near you
housekeeper's high, and drinkin beer too
cleared through the night
my niggaz movin with the skirts
in the boxes, houseshoes, and slingshot t-shirts
its gettin late, I'm runnin out of gas
so Warren G tryin to see what's up on some ass
really doe, y'all enjoyed the show, good
but what you know about these Long Beach boys in the hood
should anything go wrong and niggaz act shitty

(Chorus)
Can you feel it

Well it was boring until Warren G came on the scene

I dropped this one just to show you I'm true
People say Warren where'd you get that speech
in the sandy city right down by the beach

if you want to get yo groove on, LOC on

then you might be gettin paid like this nigga Warren G
so fee, fie, foe, I'm from, the LB to the see nigga don't act dumb
outta site, outta mind, so where y'all gonna put us
Warren G and the Twinz and my girls Five Footaz





(Chorus) x2
