The Bay

Let it go

Let the good take hold

I’m ah brothah from the West

Who was blessed witah soul

Let me tell you boutah place

You probably don’t even know

We still live in Cali

Gottah style cultural

We was

Known from the 60’s

From panthers to hippies

Now were known for

Murders pimps and three-sixty’s

Side shows high speed chases too

And a crack epidemic that will turn yah blue

And an Aids epidemic that can end yah too

It’s the Yay baby brothah and I thought you knew

Oakland to Vallejo

Vallejo to the Zay

The Zay to the Sko’

AKA as the Bay

Unique so to speak

In a whole lottah ways

We hardly get the love ‘cause we close to LA

We got our own slang

But everybody took it

Now we goin’ dumb down the Av drivin’ crooked

Chorus:

This the way

In the Bay (in the Bay heyeyeyey)

In the Bay (heyeyeyey)

In the Bay (heyeyeyey)

In yah little kuddy cold from the Northern Pacific

Beach always cold

So don’t get the game twisted

Thugs reprocessed to the death packin’ biscuits

Weed almost legal the trees it’s terrific

We got

Cannibus clubs

Filipinos and Blacks

Latinos from all over the map

Chinese and Vietnamese

So don’t get jacked

Samoans Indians Tongans Thai’s

It’s the Bay homie

And we multiplies

We never act shy when it’s time to ride

And we claim 2 Pac as a source of pride

Said we claim 2 Pac as a source of pride

Let it go

Let me bless a flow my people

Here we go here we go here we here we yo

From the streets to beach

Flat lands to peace

To the freaks in the deeps drivin’ by (beep beep)

To the heat meet the seat

To the cops from the beat

To the rich to sweet

To the poor to the weak

To the youth and the beast

HP 3rd Street

(3 x’s) telegraph to the Av

North to the deep East

To the youth and the beast

HP 3rd Street

Telegraph to the Av

North to the deep East

Chorus:

This the way

In the Bay (in the Bay heyeyeyey)

In the Bay (heyeyeyey)

In the Bay (heyeyeyey)
