It's a mighty fine day so I pulls out the trey

Needs my shit cut so I call Dante

Trims the gotee and gets the hair cleaned

Hits the switch for a bitch then I sheen

Squeeze my nigga Mad and my cousin OGP

And hoodsta Poppa LQ cuz that's a nigga's crew so

Slide like we always do

Breaking laws down the 'Shaw like a hoodsta suppose to

C-sawin', we ballin'

Four pagers and a phone cuz we got some fleas callin'

We're lookin far from rich

So a loc spittin' nothin but game when I come up on a bitch

Now I remember when these hoes used to look at G's funny

Now they all up on low tryna be a g's honey

Now ain't this a bitch

We steady fuckin wit hoes and steady dippin' the strip

(Come and take a ride) with the M.A.C

(Bumpin' hoodstaa shit) with mista M.A.D

(Slidin' down the shaw) with D and Poppa LQ

And when the west side ride nigga what you gon' do?

I'm gon' creep down florence on extra tilt

You fuck around and try to clown and get yo lexus pilt

Mad's beats is the fattest, gold d's on they tightest hittin'

So many niggas up we catchin' arthritis

Bag full a dank and a strap tucked in the stash just in case I gotta snap

But it's kinda unlikely I trip, I'm under less pressur

E since we come up on the grip I'm hittin' switches in the black toy

4 gates in the trunk and a bag full of selenoids

I'm tryna make the tramp flip

We steady fuckin' wit hoes and like I said we dippin' the street

(Come and take a ride) so you can see

How a G shake fiends in a 63

(Slidin' down the shaw) now watch em' C-saw

Down the shaw tryna ditch the law

(Come and take a ride) come and feel the wind blow, the endo

(Slidin' down the shaw) front and back side

To side in my ride and mothafuck the law

Now you can go to any ghetto and find some thugs

But in California state we got these crips and bloods

And that makes me wanna remenise to way back when

Before eleven year olds got a hold of mac 10's

I'm talkin' bout the days we used to blaze

And bump to frankie beverly and maze and marvin gaye

Damn, these streets ain't what it used to be

We used to scwabble before all this but now they shoot ya g

(Come and take a ride) with the M.A.C

(Bumpin' hoodsta shit) with mista M.A.D

(Slidin' down the shaw) with D and Poppa LQ

And when the west side ride nigga what you gon' do?

Well ima keep the roller coaster down the strip

On three wheel motion as we let the booty drag

In the classic rag while the hundred spokes spin, we dizzy off gin

The beat is past ten and our grills have grins

Plus we got the females on the cellular tel

And they tellin' me that it's on if we bring

Some drink and k-y jelly, housin' the scene, the usual routine

We got our self-esteem and we back up on things

They used to shake me like shake and bake before my tape dropped

And told me nigga please you work for rap-a-lot

But now I'm big grippin' and flippin' the script

So won't you buckle up your seatbelt and enjoy the trip

(Come and take a ride) so you can see how a G shake fiends in a 63

(Slidin' down the shaw) now watch

Em' C-saw down the shaw tryna ditch the law

(Come and take a ride) come and feel the wind blow, the endo

(Slidin' down the shaw) front and back side

To side in my ride and mothafuck the law
