West Coast Hip-Hop song about my thug days in the 70's.

Stoneman wrote, produced and performed everything on this recording

I was listening to a Hip-Hop podcast and they were playing West Coast music. However, the music did nopt sound like West Coast rap at all. It didn;t even sound like rap music. It was some watered down pop music that a White dude with no rap skills produced. I was peturbed by the way someone would portray themselves as a genre when they don't even sound like thwe genre they claim to be performing. So, with that in mind I sat down wrote what I consider to be a genuine West Coast Hip-Hop song with all the piano trills of the dog pound, the melodious nature of Dre and the hard hitting lyrics like NWA. Real West Coast Hip-Hop without the Pop shit in it.

This is life this is life this is life on the West side, shoot’m up and bang bang
This is life this is life this is life on the West side colors repping gang bangs

I was raised in the hood in LA where people get jacked almost every day.
Straight gangsta max is how we use to be, on point for da set indefinitely
Hood up, strapped up and ready to die westside connect yeah I was that guy
We rolled, hood stroll, and hustling shit, watch for the Popo man they gave us fits

They said you better get away from here, you need to stay from here
before you lose your mind
You know you better get away from here you need to stay from here
before you lose your life.

This is life this is life this is life on the West side, shoot’m up and bang bang
This is life this is life this is life on the West side colors repping gang bangs

Look out for Santa Clause gonna jack that motha and take it all
Gonna fly reigndeers to the hood and give my homies kids something really good.
Just for spite I’m gonna fly to DC so they can see a bonafied O G
And when they say something to me, I’m gonna laugh and show all of my gold teeth

They say you better get away from here, you need to stay from here
before you lose your mind
You know you better get away from here you need to stay from here
before you lose your life.

This is life this is life this is life on the West side, shoot’m up and bang bang
This is life this is life this is life on the West side colors finger signs and gang slangs.

You know what I’m talking about everybody’s got a thug in their family house
Don’t mean that you have need to be scared. but yes you should always be prepared
Cause a thug mothafucka always deep in shit. And he don’t give a damn not even a little bit
And the murder is on his case, but you’ll never see fear upon his face.

They said you better get away from here, you need to stay from here
before you lose your mind
You know you better get away from here you need to stay from here
before you lose your life.

This is life this is life this is life on the West side, shoot’m up and bang bang
This is life this is life this is life on the West side colors finger signs and gang slangs.

All eyes to the sky, looking for the he-lo flying by police shine lights on the situation
hood scraps boil over on many occasions. But we roll controlled on those ghetto streets we roll and choke while we listen to those trap beats. Don’t mess with my crew cause there ain’t a damn thang that they won’t do. They will whoop yo ass and annihilate you. Bust you up and saw you half in two. Yo man and you know thats true. I knew you couldn’t hang when I looked at you. Punk ass mothafucka trying to be hard but with my foot up your ass you’re screaming oh my God. I’m game to indoctrinate Jump in my face and it will seal your fate. Cause I was there when all this gang shit started. I knew all of the Kings and the dearly departed. Uh, O G done played the game and earned the fame with his street name. Stoneman yeah and you don’t stop. Stoneman
