The Jacka - From The Bay lyrics

[Jacka] The Bay Area Yeah boy that's where I'm from I remember '85 That's when they cracked with cum A lot of n***as got gritz But most these n***as got stung With years under they belt Tryin' to feel what they felt To be the n** Watch the ice it don't melt '86 through '88 The game got bigger We done hit the block Squatin' baby ninjas On our way to school Park my sh** around the corner So fly, so cool Young n***a Brooklyn breed MC's The Bay breed drug dealers You got a youngsta that flows I got a young n***a that push coke Plus he got hoes Stay on the rope Can't understand life But grab the mic And let the track explode [Chorus: Dee Dee] And you know I'm from the Bay Muthaf**in' A-R-E-A You know what I mean No other place I'd rather be And you know I don't try to flee To another muthaf**in' state You know what I mean It wasn't thug enough for me [Jacka] On my way to the port To drop my n***a Cormega On Too $hort birthday Plus all the Figaz together The boys put us on the way To hustle up out the weather Yuk 85 turned out Hit the corner hit Then hit me on my burn out When you n***as gon' learn 'bout The muthaf**in' Bay It's superthug where I stay Frisco, North Richmond to O-A-K Central South Richmond and E-P-A Pittsburg got the coke For a price you must pay Yeah boy, believe what they say Ain't nothin' scarier than the Bay High speed everyday Adolescents tuck weapons n***as bleed everyday You got to have heart Just to fit up where I stay And I've been everywhere Ain't nothin' thuggin' of me Yo, we live this sh** That you see on T.V.
