Bobby "Bobcat" Ervin - Inglewood Swangin' lyrics

[Intro] [The announcer's voice from Playstation's NBA Live '97] "Welcome to Inglewood, California" Hey hey hey What you got to say [Verse: 1] Fast b**hes fast cars money and fame This rap sh** is just like the '90's dope game Before sold out shows rocked and hoes jocked It was all about the 'hood and that Foe Hundred block A few scraps as a puppy dog You had to be down To roam that infamous neighborhood Where n***as wore the crown It was on every morning from Manchester to Century BG's walkin' in packs to elementary Afterschool some had 'hood patrol And watched deals on the corner While others had sk**s and hittin' drills in Pop Warner The unforgettable good old days how it used to be 'foe n***as made the transition from a jock to a G Now the streets is nice but the police is thick Cause n***as sick and mo' murders Committed than a horror flick But whatever happen rappin' or not It's the same for me It's still I.N.G. foe L.I.F.E So... [Hook] Hey hey heyy What you got to say Inglewooooood [Inglewood echoes] Inglewood Swangin' [Inglewood echoes] [Verse: 2] The city's full of cheddar like a cheese pizza Known for senoritas and Inglewood Familias The landmarks in the 'hood is legendary The fabulous Forum, the Court and the Library The city hall is scandalous to the average tax payer So the town done f**ed around and voted me the mayor Had G's that put they life on the line and some died But thanks to this rap we on the map worldwide And as far as race go we probably even these days About 50% black and the rest is esays So we spin and we win up and down Market St b**h I'm a million dollar n***a and still shop the Swapmeet What I'm in right now probably ain't worth a hundred bucks A beany T-shirt khakis and a fresh pair of Chucks That's a real n***a foe you that's me so don't knock it I got everything I need plus money in my pocket So... [Hook] [Bridge] I.N.G. foe L.I.F.E. (4X) [Verse: 3] It seem like yesterday I was the average Y.G And at the blink of a eye became a household MC From the land of sunshine gold D's and palm trees To Japanese screamin' for a n***a overseas But I gotta think about O.G's I got game from Remain the same n***a and can't forget where I came from We all know money make the world go 'round So I give back to my town and put a few n***as down I keep my enemies close cause they salt shakers Mad because I travel state to state And get paid like the Lakers Used to like the Magic man when I was a itty bitty But now Mack and Shaq can go half and buy the city So... [Hook] [Bridge] [Hook]
