Yea

Dah-dah-daaah

Nate Dogg:

In the name of the streets

W.C.:

Click click bu ya! Dub kicked the frame in (uh huh)

Nigga let the games begin, as I standin'

Tossed the tall can on a campus off the limital

scanners takin' penitentiary chances

Sick wit it, off the ric wit it

Blue beenie knitted; freshly acquitted

Grind-grimey, the big body and the big body

Wit lyrics and 'draulics hotter than the Majave

Sellin', brubble bellin', career felon

Escalade 3-braid beer wearin'

Fuck it, I thug for free and thug to eat

Niggas call me "Home of Cake" cause I love the cheese

Gangstas, hustlas, pimps, if ya follow me

Let me see ya put them hands up like a robbery

I solemnly swear to stay down and slang the seed

I spit in the name of the streets

Nate Dogg and W.C.:

I'm gonna roll (I'm gonna roll)

I'm gon' stay fly (I'm gonna stay fly)

I'm gonna bust (I'm gonna bust)

Hold my hood up high (throw my hood up high)

In the name of the streets

I'm gonna roll (I'm gonna roll)

I'm gon' rich ride (I'm goin' rich ride)

I'm gonna ball (I'm gonna ball)

Hold my hood up high

In the name of the streets

Snoop Dogg.:

This the otty-bitty nigga from the city they call LB

What you know about the D-O-G?

I keep my peeps wit a bag a’treats

On the streets my nphews beat your beat and keep that heat

In the cut and indiscrete

Me and Dub-c crippin’ couzins in this industry

A lotta’y’all pretend to be

Wanna see friens wit me and then sleep wit the enemy?

Want some, get some, bad enough take one

Braids on, make done, don’t want none

And just cause we talkin’, what you doin’ C-Walking?

It’s not just a dance it’s a way a’ living

Now if ya C-Walking, ya best to ‘see’ Crippin’

And that goes for kids too, and R&B singers

Nigga quit Crip-Walking if ya ain’t a gang banger

Nate Dogg and W.C.:

I'm gonna roll (I'm gonna roll)

I'm gon' stay fly (I'm gonna stay fly)

I'm gonna bust (I'm gonna bust)

Hold my hood up high (throw my hood up high)

In the name of the streets

I'm gonna roll (I'm gonna roll)

I'm gon' rich ride (I'm goin' rich ride)

I'm gonna ball (I'm gonna ball)

Hold my hood up high

In the name of the streets

Nate Dogg:

I told a woman I don't love her but she wants to go

I told another that I want her but she wants to hoe

I ain't a hater I'm a player so I fucked 'em both

In the name of the streets

W.C.:

This is for them geniuz

Da best is my East niazz

Both sides street niazz

This is for them DJ's coast to coast movin' this

Spin-ni-nin them turntables that bomp the Ruvian

Smashous, best trap us for cash and dump a blunt at ya's

Outta the mix-classes, this is for them riders, ridin' for the mims

Ghetto ass niazz on them big shiny rims (uh huh)

Thrashin', you're back at ya, bring a debassa'

Got dropping on your drastic, another hood classic

Dump the "Ghetto Heisman" singing "more cabbage"

A street niazz livin' on seek and kill status

Unlock the racked Def Jam cock it back

Recess is over, I want my spot back

Who's the next? I preceded to blow coming at 'em

I'm in a mink coat and Spacey gat 'em

You're lookin' at 'em

Nate Dogg and W.C.:

I'm gonna roll (I'm gonna roll)

I'm gon' stay fly (I'm gonna stay fly)

I'm gonna bust (I'm gonna bust)

Hold my hood up high (throw my hood up high)

In the name of the streets

I'm gonna roll (I'm gonna roll)

I'm gon' rich ride (I'm goin' rich ride)

I'm gonna ball (I'm gonna ball)

Hold my hood up high

In the name of the streets

Dah-dah-daaah

Yea

Lah-dah-daaah

Dub-C

Dah-dah-daaah

The "Ghetto Heisman"

Nate Dogg:

In the name of the streets

Swangin' through a hood near you

Dah-dah-daaah

Lah-dah-daaah

Dah-dah-daaah

In the name of the streets
