LAX
Ice Cube Feat. Snoop Lyrics

Oh, Cali?
Are we in California?

No doubt
Definitely

West West y'all, pile it on your plate
Welcome to the West Coast where you can have it all

A little somethin' somethin' from the Golden State
Enjoy some of the unique culture and flavor from California

Nah, we ain't like Kobe and Shaq
We're not just another duo, we're different and unique

It's Magic and Kareem nigga, Showtime is back
We're legends like Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and we're here to entertain

True legends, two steppin' on you peasants
We are icons and we're dancing on you

What y'all thought, y'all gon' need bout two vests'
You might need some extra protection because something big is about to go down

Cause we he plug, I plug
We have the connections and resources to get things done

Mixed shot with the slug, listen here cuh
We have both drinks and firearms, so don't mess with us

When I dig dug, play slick and get stuck
If you try to play games with us, you'll still end up getting stuck

But don't play tough boy, go and get it up
Don't act like you're tough, just admit your weaknesses

Hey yo Cube, tell me this
Ice Cube, let me ask you a question

Why half of the homies gettin' worked by a bitch?
Why are so many guys getting tricked and controlled by women?

Then they fall in love and get hurt by a bitch
Then they get attached and heartbroken by the same woman

Nine months later cause got mirked by a bitch
They end up dead or in jail because of her

See I'm just a nigga that ya don't wanna
I'm someone you don't want to mess with

Reverse the game on her, put the bitch on a corner
I'll turn the tables on her and use her for my own gain

Welcome to California
Welcome to the iconic state that we represent

Come hit the town, drop down nigga
Come to the city and have fun, let's roll

L-A-X, top down nigga
Let's drive around Los Angeles with the top down

I'm scoopin' you up, ya rollin' or what?
I'm picking you up, are you ready to party?

I know what ya came for, I'm rollin' it up
I know what you want and I have it right here

Snoop Dogg nigga, y'all hold up
Wait a minute, Snoop Dogg is here

Never thought Ice Cube would show up
Surprisingly, Ice Cube is also here

But I'm in the studio gettin' fucked up
I'm in the recording studio getting wasted

With a beat from Battlecat, a nigga lucked up
Luckily, I had the opportunity to work with producer Battlecat

I got my hustle down, look and learn
I have my work ethic figured out, see if you can keep up

See how a hot nigga, cook and burn
Watch how I excel and succeed

A nigga earn like David Stern
I can make as much money as NBA Commissioner David Stern

Mixed with Big Worm when he off that sherm
I'm kind of like the character Big Worm from the movie Friday when he's high

Now - bust a u-turn, come by your hood
Turn around and let's go to your neighborhood

For motherfuckers that think I went Hollywood
For those who thought I had abandoned my roots and sold out

Pick a Coast, it got to be the West
If you're choosing which coast to rep, it has to be the West Coast

I live out there, from the W.S. nigga
I'm from the West Side and proud of it

Fell asleep on the plane, and so did he
We both took a nap on the plane

Woke up chillin' in the LBC
We woke up, relaxed and in Long Beach

I grew up in the HNC
I'm originally from South Central LA, also known as the HNC (Hoopstown Culver City)

But that ain't what I turned out to be
That environment didn't define me

Understand me that I'm still a G
I'm still a gangsta at heart

Who ain't never spent a day in the penitentiary
I've never been to prison

Now I'm rappin' with Snoop D-O double-G
Now I'm making music with the legendary Snoop Dogg

And got the whole fuckin' world nigga lovin' me
And now I have a huge fanbase all over the world

Yep yep, they love him to death
Yes, people love Snoop Dogg that much

Cause he walk under water, without gettin' wet
Snoop Dogg is so smooth and slick that he can do anything without getting caught

Roll through the neighborhood without gettin' checked
He can go anywhere without anyone questioning him

So gone and so blown, are we there yet?
Is he so high that he doesn't even know where he is?

You wonder why I got the S on my chest
You might be curious why Snoop has an S on his chest

Cause I'm a motherfuckin' vet from the Wild Wild West
Because he's a veteran from the unruly West Coast

I used to sing "Bennie and the Jets"
I used to listen to and enjoy Elton John's music

Nigga so boss now I sip Henny on my jets
Now he's so successful that he sips Hennessy on his private jets

From the East back to the West
From one coast to the other
