I rep my city
I take my city everywhere that I go.
So when you see me you then already know.
It's on my hat, you can tell by the clothes
It's in my talk, so It's in my flow.
I take my city everywhere that I go!
I'm from the L-O-N-G-B-E-A-C-H
C-I-T-Y See I, got a paper chase.
City by the sea, it's the 562.
That's why every coupe I hop into, is aqua blue.
And I thought you knew, rock with me and I'll rock with you.
This for my (city, city)
I rep my (city, city)
We 50 deep in the club, 'cause I brought my (city) wit' me.
Throwing them things in a octagon.
Louis Vuitton and Vacheron, In Babylon
I'm flippin' that dough like Pappa John's, 'cause I'm the don.
So throw some cheese up.
Snoopy told you "G's up."
Dominic feels, like he's vomiting pills, throwing E's up.
All my east sider riders throw them E's up.
This LBC What? (huh)
I take my city everywhere that I go.
So when you see me you then already know.
It's on my hat, you can tell by the clothes
It's in my talk, so It's in my flow.
I take my city everywhere that I go!
I'm from the E-A-S-T-S-I-D-E, ride with me.
East sider long beach.
R-T-C and I-C-G.
O-M-G and Y-M-C.
Owin' me I'm COB.
Ima take my clique to the T-O-P on G-O-D with B.o.B.
Tell by the hat, you could tell by the tat, you could tell how I act, you could tell how I rap that I represent the L-B-C.
M-A-P we back on the map.
M-A-P mean Money And Power.
Uh-huh we back on the map.
Can't be poor son, no Nordstrom, but its racks on racks.
SAT put me to the test, no tutor, and glutted cause the future gone show you who the best.
This is how I view success.
Givin' you my music, yes.
Stepped on stage in Budapest,
Made em all salute the west!
I take my city everywhere that I go.
So when you see me you then already know.
It's on my hat, you can tell by the clothes
It's in my talk, so It's in my flow.
I take my city everywhere that I go!
In the Chi-town, I'm keeping it G from the get go.
Windy city killers, man they shootin' when the wind blow.
From Oklahoma to New York, I rep my kinfolk.
Thought I was in the six-four, nope. I'm in that Enzo!
When I'm in Houston, that purple stuff is in my purple cup.
When I'm in Miami, I'm in South Beach with my circle, uhh.
When I'm in Atlanta, my fans be grabbing them cameras
Then I'm in out in Detroit with my G, Royce. And them D boys.
In every single hood, I'm so hood that I think I'm good.
South Central, Hawthorne, Gardena, Compton, Watson, Englewood.
Places that I've been to.
Look at my clothes when I'm mobbin' through.
Laker purple, dodger blue.
I take my city everywhere that I go.
So when you see me you then already know.
It's on my hat, you can tell by the clothes
It's in my talk, so It's in my flow.
I take my city everywhere that I go!
