From the bottom, ain't no half steppin'
I'm the dawg, I made it through so they don't ask questions
Long Beach, it ain't no half reppin'
Once a dawg, always a dawg so they don't ask questions
From the bottom, ain't no half steppin'
I'm the dawg, I made it through so they don't ask questions
Long Beach, it ain't no half reppin'
Once a dawg, always a dawg so they don't ask questions
Tell 'em never question, dawg, I'm sittin' GOAT status
Eatin' chicken with my chin, smokin' on some cabbage
Used to pedal on that Schwinn with my 'fro out
Whole lot of bunnies flockin' to me when I roll out
I been rollin' on dubs, coin collectin', keep it Sonic blue
Blue rags and house shoes, they know how the dawg do
Skinny nigga, heavy pockets, the West OG
Can't a nigga 'cross the globe say they don't know me
Been applyin' pressure from eight to twenty-four like Kobe
Mr. Hall of Fame, used to bend the corners with strollies
Had to lay the blueprint, they rolled out the carpet
Anything I wanna own, I got my own market
Blue this, blue that, everything beautiful
Still ain't sold my guns and I still ain't had to use 'em though
Was once a hard head, now I'm countin' blessings
I made my own way, still they don't ask questions
From the bottom, ain't no half steppin'
I'm the dawg, I made it through so they don't ask questions
Long Beach, it ain't no half reppin'
Once a dawg, always a dawg so they don't ask questions
From the bottom, ain't no half steppin'
I'm the dawg, I made it through so they don't ask questions
Long Beach, it ain't no half reppin'
Once a dawg, always a dawg so they don't ask questions
I can't name a thing that I done half stepped
From the streets to movie screens, been gettin' bags and checks
Kept it solid, you won't hear me with no bad rep
Legendary Crippin', made it happen and that's on the set
Still rollin' on gold things, I'm a boss nigga, know I got it all
Chuck T's with the white tips, it's Long Beach when I make the call
It was Tanqueray, never Indigo, I be drinkin' my own shit
Still high as blue skies, no questions asked 'cause I own shit
Never been a sucker or a buster, I'm on my dawg shit
Gangstas universal, only real ones that I talk with
Hated as a puppy, better love now I'm full grown
West Coast general, know that money real long
Legendary, please don't make me pull that rag out
A call away from scenes, yellow taped and blacked out
Black and yellow, still is on my Big Ben shit
Quarterback and I'm the one they come to win with
From the bottom, ain't no half steppin'
I'm the dawg, I made it through so they don't ask questions
Long Beach, it ain't no half reppin'
Once a dawg, always a dawg so they don't ask questions
From the bottom, ain't no half steppin'
I'm the dawg, I made it through so they don't ask questions
Long Beach, it ain't no half reppin'
Once a dawg, always a dawg so they don't ask questions
