Centerview

{Yeah, yeah}

{Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah}

I was just a young boy,

Raised out in Carson,

Ambla Elementary,

Principal Dr. Larson,

Me and my godbrotha,

Tyrin Davis,

walkin down the hallways,

He got all the ladies.

I was just a nappy head

livin on the 9 block,

'ready went to Bedcross,

I was at the chronic spot.

Did a lil' rooster

and my homey shantwain-

and the homey Big B

put me on the game.

The big homey solo

told me not to bang.

He told me don't put

my career to a shame.

But I did, anyway,

and I got in trouble but

I had the hookup on the hundred dolla double ups,

My nigga E-dog... he had the flow,

And when I snuck out my window,

I used to go smoke up his endo.

Oh

{I did a little bit of dirt in}

Cen...ter...{oh, yes I did} view

{aww yes I did}

My dad was always at Church

working in his office,

and my cousin Ryan got a

scholarship to college.

Everything start happening

All so quick- fast

I got on a TV show

and started to make cash,

My sister's on the radio

Banging through the stereo,

I remember when we used to go

skate at Skate Depot,

Damn those were the days,

Things just ain't the same,

And to my little homey D-O,

You gotta be careful in this game.

Guess who I do it back

So all I do is that

So how I'm giving back,

Put my city on the map

That's why I do it back

First time I held this track

So how I'm giving back,

Put my city on the map

In Cen...ter...view

Oh, I used to take the circuit bus

To the Carson mall,

To go buy cans of spray paint to

hit up on the walls,

I was young and dumb,

I was livin' crazy,

But thank God for my family, cuz

man they really saved me, yeah,

{Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh}

To everybody in my city

that remembers good times, oh oh,

{Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh}

I took a ride back to Carson

Just to hug a few friends, oh oh,

{Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh}

You see, I know I can get you chillin

On the block around ten, Oh oh,

Ay, And all the soldiers that didn't go

Who are locked up in the pen
