Mystic Lyrics

Yo
Attention grabber to start the song

West Coast.....
Introducing the topic of discussion - the West Coast

We talkin bout the West Coast
Confirming that the song is going to focus on the West Coast

They don't really understand what's crackin right now
Acknowledging the lack of comprehension outside of the West Coast

It's a new brig, goin into this new millenium
Stating that there is a new breed emerging in the new millennium

You know what i'm sayin?how we do it
Asking if the listener understands the West Coast way of living

Let's talk about Californ-i-a
Referring to California as the key attraction on the West Coast

If you ever came to visit wonder why you didn't stay
Implying that the West Coast is so alluring that people don't want to leave

We got them, 'Wide Open Spaces" like them Dixie Chicks
Describing the expansive nature of the West Coast, making a reference to Dixie Chicks' song

Enough soldier's in the hood to really start some (shit)
Highlighting the high number of soldiers in West Coast neighborhoods who have the potential for creating chaos

It's where the sun always sets and the beauty never seases
Praising the scenic views of the West Coast for its sunsets and beauty

Their's a war goin on, but it's more wit the police
Acknowledging police brutality as a current issue on the West Coast

It's were the pace is slow, it's somethin like in the south
Stating the slow pace similar to areas located in the south of the United States

When out of towner's try to rush they just runnin they're mouths
Noting that visitors who are trying to rush will not be taken seriously

I love the hot days and the old school cars
Expressing fondness for hot weather and classic cars found on the West Coast

White tee's and baggy jeans and barbeque's in the park
Describing the normal clothing and activities for West Coast residents

If you ain't rest here, then you would never understand
Suggesting that only those who have lived on the West Coast can truly understand it

(You's a dedicated Queen)best believe that I am
Revealing a nickname, which demonstrates the persona of the artist

I put up billboards butt-naked from the waist up
Metaphorically describing the freedom of the West Coast

Which yo hands over each breast throwin the west up
Using hand movements that symbolize the West Coast while showing support

And underneath, the capture would say, "don't you wish you were here?"
Encouraging more people to come and experience the West Coast

Cause everywhere I go
Beginning the chorus of the song, starting with the belief that nothing compares to the West Coast

And everything I see
Highlighting the beauty of the West Coast visible to the singer

Makes me believe
Confirming the belief that nothing compares to the West Coast

West Coast
Repeating the name of the coast as a refrain

And everything I do, the way I move
Stating that everything the singer does is influenced by the West Coast

Is just because
Admitting that the singer is completely consumed by the West Coast lifestyle

Out west we rock stains and cuts
Changing the tone to a more aggressive approach, demonstrating the tougher side of the West Coast

Coup's, and Regal's, 64's and Cadillac trucks
Mentioning the preferred cars of West Coast residents

And we still sportin Guess?that's how we do it out West
Describing the common fashion trend on the West Coast

Red or blue rags mutual brother's be still goin federal
Noting the historical gang rivalries on the West Coast that have led some people to jail

You better know we pop collar's and chop game
Referring to the laid-back and suave demeanor of West Coast residents

Were mary jane's is the color of the incredible hulk
Making a reference to the color of weed found in the West Coast

Summertime we top drop fresh out the chops shops
Depicting the love of convertibles during the summer months, getting them straight from the shop

Out of control staright ballin baggy shorts no socks
Describing the style of dressing and attitude that many West Coast residents embody

Owin the block cell phones roamin the lot
Depicting the scope of West Coast street culture

We can ball in the in yacht, i'm talkin bout home of the rocks
Boasting about the wealth and luxury present in the West Coast

Rockin a sporty spliff, we bumpin 40&The Click
Claiming that smoking weed and listening to music are two major staples of West Coast life

Too $hort, Dr.Dre or some George Clinton
Naming some of the legendary artists from the West Coast region

Don't get it twisted cause you can even ask Mystic
Using another artist as an affirmation of details mentioned about the West Coast lifestyle

(the bay got the best weed)and L.A. got the bitches
Making a stereotype-based joke regarding the best weed and women in West Coast regions

Tricks, mac's, hustla's, snitches, hoodrat killaz, drug dealer's&thug nigga's
Mentioning the various individuals who live on the West Coast and their unique subcultures

It ain't nuttin like the CA
Stating that nothing compares to California

Sunshine, women, water, and sand trees and the West Coast relay's
Listing the things that make California special

Straight from the North were paper chasin is art
Boasting about the unique money-making skills of Northern West Coast residents

Where they blast for cash and walk live
Noting the violence present when it comes to acquiring money

As a true and livin gangsta's
Asserting that those who survive gang violence are true gangsters

Gangsta's O.G.'s the game is so fluid
Describing the fluid nature of gang culture on the West Coast

Got us swaggin the steps like, "only we can do it"
Highlighting the confidence of the West Coast in their unique swagger and rhythm

True it, ain't no other golden state
Asserting that the West Coast is unique and doesn't compare to any other region

We can't relate we heavyweights who demonstrate
Stating that their weight or influence is higher, which allows them to be trendsetters

Let's be a soldier in the land of homocides and murder
Referring to the dangerous life on the West Coast as similar to being in a battleground

Liqour store robberies and fast learners
Naming the fast-paced lifestyle and crime that frequently occur on the West Coast

And corrupt cops on the mission to bust off shots
Highlighting police brutality once again as a real issue on the West Coast

Blue or flame dub you might just catch a hot one at the bus stop
Making a reference to the potential danger of being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Yo Asia baby, we set the record staright
Talking to Planet Asia and stating that they are correcting the history and reputation of the West Coast

From thugs to fallen angel's, we elevate
Implying that former residents involved in dangerous activities have changed for the better and have evolved into better human beings

And I know one day my soul will go to rest
Musing about the eventual mortality of the singer

Just put my ashes in the dirt in the west
Wishing to be buried in the place that meant the most to the singer- the West Coast

West Coast, Oakland, Fresno, Los Angeles
Mentioning various cities on the West Coast as a tribute

San Diego, you know what i'm sayin?
Another shoutout to a famous city demonstrating the love for the West Coast

Seattle, Vancouver, West Coast
Acknowledging other West Coast cities that are not in California

Light green, old schools, pop ya collar
Revisiting the culture, fashion, and style of the West Coast

We don't sport curls no mo'
Acknowledging that time and fashion have changed, traditional short curls are no longer a fashion staple

Yo spontaneous, spear more music, West Coast, West Coast
Further noting the positive qualities of the West Coast, encouraging more art and music

BIOTCH!
Concluding the song with a humorous exclamation
