Lyrics

Ol' english

Chorus
Ol' english (la-lala-la-la-la-la)
Ridin' by gettin' high
Smokin' on that chronic drinkin' ol' english
Rags tied gangs signs letters on my hat in
Ol' english (la-lala-la-la-la-la)
Drive by homicide
R.i.p. tats in ol' english westside 'til I die
Niggas pourin' out that ol' english (la-lala-la-la-la-la)

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in the projects yo
I watched my uncle greg put d's on his six-fo'
I washed it on monday so he bought me a gold chain
Shopped crack and watched "colors" and I soaked up game
Drove the impala on his lap that was my role model
Used to let me kill the corner of his 40-ounce bottle
On the weekend him and my pops flashed the 'vette
'Til one weekend my uncle got stabbed to death
He got murdered by a fiend my pops ain't like that
He was from nutty block they used to call him maniac
Crazy ass nigga wit' a black panther tat
Kill a nigga cross him out on his compton hat
Told me when I got older I would understand that
It's blood in blood out and ain't no turnin' back
Few summers went by and we moved across the tracks
13 that's when I had my first

Chorus

[Verse 2]
I was the first nigga wit' a starter jacket on the block
Used to build model cars and let the muthafuckas hop
Moms banged hoover crip she was known for sellin' rocks
Let me collect the 40-ounce bottles in the dope spot
Bought my first converse thought I couldn't be stopped
When I creased up my khakis and threw on my ronnie lott
Used to think that I was hard so I stole my brother's glock
And that's the day my life changed 'cause that night he got shot
Killed by another crip over his rolex watch
I got high for three years off that chronic from the doc
I was drinkin' 40-ounces a lot
And every liquor store in compton sold out the day eazy dropped
I start bangin' red laces in my adidas
Drinkin' out a brown paper bag on my first drive-by
I was a menace to society
But I never left fingerprints on my

Chorus

[Verse 3]
I got a lot of dead homies some blood some crip
This is life stop watchin' that "boyz n the hood" shit
You see this red rag hangin' out of my jeans?
I went to twenty funerals by the age of ninteen
Then I went to college basketball was my dream
Quit the team 'cause I rather shoot rock wit' the fiends
Wanted to be freeway rick
He showed me how to trun a stolen 5.0 into a brick
Bought a cadillac thought I was rich bangin' dj quik
On crenshaw got jacked for my shit
Took a long chronic hit and thought about the time
When I was 12 years old and I emptied my first clip
Hit my first switch same night fucked my first bitch
Thought I was dreamin' 'til I pinched her tits
She caught a stray bullet ridin' shotgun in my shit
So I got her name tatted in
