featuring The Twinz



[Warren G]

The place is here, the time is right
for the Twinz and Warren G to rip shit tonight, right



[Trip Locc]

Hold on tight to your seat

comin from the city that's low, urban life near the beach peep

So come one, come all, fall into my smooth flow

its the Trip LO double see yo

the game is trump tight, ain't no need for you to boo me

'cause after its over, all you hoes goin want to do me

its part of the plan to get mine from the jump

G-Dub hooked it up, so you know its gotta straight bump

a typical day on the eastside

a lot of gangstas buck mouths

and brothas slangin bean pies

but that's how it goes in the city where I was born

familys mourn, niggaz slippin, never gettin born

so that's why you gotta stay alert,

'cause everyday somebody's out, they tryin to put in a little work

for the hood, or just on the solo

walkin in Long Beach real late is a no no

but don't let me scare you, you do what you gotta do

respect is a must, checkin niggaz that try to check you



(Chorus)

y'alls niggaz betta recognize,

focus your eyes 'cause my homey's high

y'alls niggaz betta recognize,

E..E...E...E...Eastside



[Warren G]

Tick, tock, tickin to the Era

its Warren G with the Twinz funk Era

N to the A to the T to the E

The S to the N to the double O P



[Wayniac]

I'm a take you on a trip,

so keep the game I display mane

I run it to ya in a gangsta kinda way (hey)

its all good when you dealin wit tha Locc

stilll blazed the smoke wit the homies and the kin-folk

and ain't no nigga gonna be takin mine

I'm servin niggaz with a quicka picka up and on as a nine

so if you really want to watch this trigga flow

its kinda itchy but I know I shoulda pulled it a long time ago

'cause I be connectin like dot to dot

so when it gets hot well I gotta shake the spot

and move to that other level see Wayniac comin through in 94 LBC



(Chorus)



[Twinz]

Now you know the game and the games complete

(whys that?) 'cause the Twinz are bringin nuthin but heat

and ya know you didn't want to see the Cavi flow

(what kinda flow) the kinda flow that'll make you slow ya roll (ahh)



[Warren G]

so open your eyes and pay attention

its two of my homies on a muthafuckin mission



[Twinz]

and I, kicks up dust 'cause its a must

and I, acts a fool 'cause its my rule

So need we say more on this topic

Warren G droppped it

put it in track and we locked it

nigga did I rock it?

nigga did I rock it?



[Warren G]

It really doesn't matter 'cause its still only poppin







(Chorus) x2
