Cuz itβs the Bounce now let me get a piece of it Iβm known to be loadin a clip cuz u know that I get down with it
Back in 91 Iβm comin on up and Iβm makin flows itβs 99 baby and Istill uh rock them shows
Talkin to barely let my rhymes fully get on in Iβm given lectures makin it happen broke the law again
So bust the nine start the fire just joints up and get my groove on cuz Iβm always down at the clubs
Iβm from SD baby bounce I thought u knew Iβm stickin it end up bringing back to some of that old school
Me and my girls we always gettin our groove on we drinkin bud light we drink that shit til itβs all gone
And itβs all good itβs good and like the Cocoa Puffs we know we should because my pen and rhymes wonβt stop
My boy Shadow behind them doors hittin doors u gettin sick about to blow out the terror zone
Bounce rock when you see us in the house uh uh it donβt stop
From Americaβs finest city Southern Cali and all around we some soldiers about to clown we put it down
Bounce rock when you see us in the house uh uh it donβt stop
From Americaβs finest city Southern Cali and all around we some soldiers about to clown we put it down
Itβs the return of the hector enemy tormentor peep how everybody takes the pressure as I enter
Iβm feelin numb from the smoke in my lungs hallucinatin elevatin puffin on blunts
From the slums of my city to the heart of ur town u heard of the criminal that be puttin it down
Mr Shadow Tha Mistah One Man Battalion battlin handlin causin a scandle in every town Iβm performin in
Iβm representin beyond entertainment worldwide puttin foos in the pavement
Ainβt nothin bigger or badder it doesnβt matter they scatter if not they feel the dagger penetrate the bladder
Ur sadder than them lames from the other side but whoβs to blame u went and snitched on the homie u oughtta be ashamed
So check ur self and blaze one up to the funk cuz it might be ur last one for actin like a punk chump
Bounce rock when you see us in the house uh uh it donβt stop
From Americaβs finest city Southern Cali and all around we some soldiers about to clown we put it down
Bounce rock when you see us in the house uh uh it donβt stop
From Americaβs finest city Southern Cali and all around we some soldiers about to clown we put it down
Creepin crawlin dippin ballin callin all shots from SD to lil rock and when u see me in the house uh uh it donβt stop
One way in the dash as we smash burnin hash to the very last compound Iβm bangin WopTown
Now u all know itβs the return of the mac and if u wanna be testin ur buster ass will get smacked and perhaps
You might of seen me on the streets in a caravan Majestics plaque on the back straight representin man
Weβre navigatin in the land of the sick if ur a phony individual find some rocks u can kick
