213      Childhood homies way back in the day   Since then it's been 213 the hard way   Rappin' on the street corners, young as can be   All the local groups called us Run-DMC   Me? Warren G, I was Jam Master Jay   Mixed with my big brother Dr. Dre   Now I got shouts to say      We still want Eazy like bed style people, we want Biggie   In memory of Tupac, Left Eye, Aliyah   Heaven sent, say hi to my mama when you see her   Rest in peace but let's take it back to the streets   With so much drama in the LBC   It's kind of hard being a G from 213   Times was hard for a superstar   But don't nobody notice who you are      We worked hard and stayed true to the game   Kept faith, kept God and now you know our name      A big shout out to all my family and friends   When times got hard, you were still be there   You give me inspiration like strength from the sun   Feel like destiny's son, yeah      To be a rapper was my dream   And to have a lot of money and live like a king   To have a handful of rings   And to make the kind of music that the whole world sings   Battle rap was the thing   And King Park was the spot where all the homeboys hang, bang   Just to go do our thang and form my gang   And took off white a white boy in a van to get our change      And moms knew what time it was   And loved the way her baby boy came up   'Cause it's before I was Snoop Dogg on TV   I'm talking about when I was like a little bitty BG   Nigga me and Warren Gizzy and Nate Dizzy and Fatey Baby   Are talking about eighty-threezy, flip the clock up to '93   And watch me rock the clock nonstop constantly   On MTV and BET whatever you want      Hit these niggaz with that motherfucking cheese   Funk to shake ya trunk nigga from the bottom bunk   Now I'm moving on up, straight living it up   Well known in the zone and I'm still homegrown   Like Al B Sure, shit I'm on my own   But there's one thing I'm missing and that's family   'Cause without y'all I don't know where I'd be      A big shout out to all my family and friends   When times got hard, you were still be there   You give me inspiration like strength from the sun   Feel like destiny's son, yeah      There's no way I can forget about you   Support for me, your love for me   Your prayers for me when I'm in these streets   And there's no way I can forget to thank ya   For showing me the true meaning of unconditional love, ooh   When I be fucking up you always come with love   You say, you've had enough, I just wanna thank ya   Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just wanna give      A big shout out to all my family and friends   When times got hard, you were still be there   You give me inspiration like strength from the sun   Feel like destiny's son, yeah
