Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: Snoop Dogg]
Ma! I think it's safe to say
You ain't seen a player lay this way
Or player game this way
With an attitude, like, and ya don't stop
Aficionado, so fashionable
Wit a confident swagger, international
Game so tight the girls had to go

And you don't stop!

[Beanie Sigel]
Sicker than your average
Money too long, can't stash it
In the closet or the mattress
Paper, stretch like elastic
Checks from advances, the bank can't cash it
So the price for that, never ask it
Just sign my name or pop plastic
Hating ass cops want to harass 'em
Searching for a glock in the pocket of his fashion
Bitches wit SP stitches on they asses
And they left breast (Yes!)
Let's get dressed and toast to the occasion
Cops couldn't page 'em, flow so amazing, hot like Cajun
You fucking wit the champ
Pop corks on champ' like I just took the chip
Nigga took the stand when he could of took the 5th
Yeah eat a dick wit AID's on the tip, keep my name off ya lips
Not guilty!

[Chorus]

[Beanie Sigel]
I said I'm sicker than your average
Keep three shooters like the Mavericks
Short to the point like Nash is, fucking wit a savage
Niggas press they luck, get bucked like ashes
Three piece suits, linen fabrics
Three quarter croc, sharper than a pastor be
Sig bring the light to the masses
Of these rap bastards, who gives street passes
One shooting can lead to three caskets
Jump suits, state boots, at least three stabbings
You softer than a Reebok Classic
Folding under pressure when confronted by them badges
I was taught stay low and keep blasting
Po only know questions that was answered
Keep a number on the high price lawyer
It's five ways now days, everybody saw ya

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg (Beanie Sigel)]
Now let's toast to the man, that when he get out
That he gon do them thangs that he rap about
A true playa Pha-real (Pharrell)
(Haters stay out my face)
(And know that thing still by my waist)

[Beanie Sigel]
Once again I'm sicker then 'em all
Niggas see see's, start shitting in they drawers
When I kick in the door, stop the blood clot crying
Wipe the piss off the floor
The ape is back, my gate is cracked
My jumpsuit and my cuffs is off
Yeah I'm back on them bricks
Raise your cups and raise your glass
And let's toast to the boy be
Mack, yeah I'm back in the mix!

[Chorus]

You grab what you need and move on quickly

When the boys roll past, you're lettin' 'em know
When the police drive by, you let them know what you're up to

Heat in the waistband, gang of tattoos
I have a gun tucked in my waistband and lots of gang tattoos

Compton, Eiht don't stop for you fools

Won't stop, learnt it on 'em, I gotta eat chief
I've learned not to stop and I have to keep hustling to survive

If you try to stop me, I'll grab you by your underwear and make you regret it

Now rock twice and do your hand like this
Let's celebrate by rocking side to side and waving our hands

If you not, then stop representin' this gangsta shit
If you're not really living this lifestyle, then stop pretending to be a gangster

So we bangs the clip, the main West G spot
We load up our guns and prepare for the most important fights

Compton, Long Beach, S.E. Watts
These are the neighborhoods we represent and fight for

Where niggaz is more sick, more dumb, more gone
This is where people are struggling the most, and they're doing whatever it takes to survive

Trick, you know where I'm from, the War Zone
You already know that I'm from the War Zone

Don't stop, don't stop
Keep moving forward, don't give up

Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop
Again, keep moving forward, don't give up, don't slow down
