Lyrics

[Intro] Yo, yo, check it, yo, yo [Bridge] Excuse these daggers, swagger so mean UV Raiders ain't showin' no green [Verse 1: Blu] Uh-huh, since I was a yella comin out of Centinela Vernon Infamada had them goldies in the fish tank Bad on cassette tape, bad on cassette tape Guttenberg, French fries, drinks to Mike Lauries Walked to the store and seen a rise on the corner On some holy mission missionary waitin for the war Fuck Jerry's Atari, got great grades off robbers Martin Luther King Parade, it's first grade 18 when she first taught me how to French And I was 12, got a brown sugar from the Slauson Swap Pop cigarettes that ain't smell like my grandma's Baby Lucas poured into that California popcorn Pourin' on a Tuesday, pourin' on a Wednesday 'Fore I'm at Thursday, Woody on my birthday Hoodie on church day, squab it to the curb surf Word, finding out my girlfriend sold crack New pair of panties and patent leather grants Doors on that '75 Burgundy Chrysler Marty's first rap, fish house by Woody's member Ma's pain whoopings after Pa's pain cooking jug All the woofin' I done done in every club Every chubby chick I dodge tryna get knocked up Every fuckin cop dodged 'fore I got locked up Every shout out that I got for every pellet gunshot I bust What? Fuck you doin in some BKs? Getting busy in a Burger King bathroom I'm full, leaving niggas at the Denny's with the building Peeled to the crib, Telemundo killin' kids Pink sobers cop the most pink tacos Titty squos, Pig Latin to the vatos In the boonies where nobody really knew me But the hood was still in me even when I didn't knew it was [Bridge] Excuse these daggers, swagger so mean UV Raiders ain't showin' no green [Hook] I'm so fluorescent, I could light up your dreams Just so caressin', no touchin', no, don't you know? Wanted that bass, that clappin', that boom And that backseat swinging that FN, no room [Verse 2: Co$$] Since I was a shorty coming up with Trays and 40s Used to pretend with the homies, playin cops and OGs Are you dancing with the handsome ugly darkness? Posted up on Stocker like, "Pardon me Could you buy a blunt for me?" We rolled it up with Marcus Front of Bone's apartment, Stone laughin' Flickin' roaches, we was coaches Lost and something found, they was playin Snoop and Cube Even as a youth, I was bumpin Underground, yo I knew I was late runnin' out home I knew I was slippin' when some Crips runnin from Stone Photo: we wore sneakers, B-ball, we all innocent Took a hit, started losing grip of our own standing coliseum As my dome bled, beat me like I stole something from 'em Went to school in Santa Monica My mama must be on something, the drums and the harmonica Remind me of the Christian choir, off of Lincoln PP burnin', dipped in fire, Bonnie burned me off of Grayburn Take a right, back when daddy was alive Days turn to nights Philipp's barbeque, house at Darnes, Murphy High Aim up was my first, touched it by the bungalows Never could afford it for the forward was reversed Been broke since out of bonds Statuary situations, grown men and little girls And there was girls at the shows, chorus and the verse 'Fore I was a spitter, was a nigga from the dirt Staring at the ass on the back of Ms. Scott Hopscotch, butterscotch, now it's butter when I rock Came a long way from 4th Ave at the bud spots Came a long way from 4th Ave at the bud spot And whatnots, yes [Bridge] Yo, excuse these daggers, swagger so mean UV Raiders ain't showin' no green [Hook] I'm so fluorescent, I could light up your dreams Just so caressin', no touchin', no, don't you know? Wanted that bass, that clappin', that boom That backseat swinging that FN, no room [Outro] So sassy, meet me at Telly or Gotelly Straight shoppin' what I land, pay the luggage for your teddy I'm so fluorescent, I could light up your dreams Just so caressin', no touchin', no, don't you know? Wanted that bass, that clappin', that boom That backseat swinging that FN, no
