Come and take a ride down to the westside Where I was born and raised any my spirit died I cried, cuz I just couldn't take it I couldn't fuckin' take it no more I ran around town with a tre-five-seven Heaven was only one bottle away Kickin' at the pier by the Santa Monica bay Pray for me cuz I need it You come and play your games with me you'll be defeated
You retreated to the west without a bullet-proof vest You wanted to be a guest But got a clip emptied in your chest Critical condition at best Get on Venice Boulivade And take that mutha fucka west Until you see the ocean And a big ass commotion Have your gat within reach We're spending a day at the beach
I'm getting ready for a day in the sun Hoochie mamma's never run from me and fifty-one cuz we raised in Venice, not Orange County Used to get drunk in the speedway alley Whoever said "It's all good" Is definately not from my hood I'd like to get the fuck out If I ever could but I can't So I get up and roll with my homies All the mutha fucka's down in Venice know me Cuz I'm strolling down the boardwalk With the gangsta sag Flippin quarters to the bums And all the sea hags
Then I see my old homie that I remember from Venice high My, I didn't know that time could fly When you're getting high Like every single day My memory has faded and my thoughts have gone away Day by day Yesterday just seems to decay So listen to the lesson that I teach Life is no day at the beach
I'm spending a day at the beach Out on bail with my loc's and a skeech You got to listen to the lesson that I teach My life is no day at the beach
(Venice beach, just one of the many beach cities Where gang members from all parts Or gangsta's as they prefer to be called Come for recreation)
My pager's going off like I got Vegas in my pocket If you want to bring up shit boy In my day we used to talk it We used to roll up deep with like twenty friends That was one car load of fools And we were dragging the rear end Went from party to party that is how it would go It wouldn't be unusual oh if we all had to throw Down with some mutha fuckin' clowns If they by chance won We'd be back and firing rounds
I ain't never forgettin' bout the chicks That used to hang with us And all the times they gave me B.J's In the backseat of the larry bus I thank God that I'm here today to sing this song And I hope that he forgives me For the things that I've done wrong I guess if he didn't I'd be long dead and gone Remember me, that crazy mutha fucka with a skeech Spending a day at the beach
I'm spending a day at the beach Out on bail with my loc's and a skeech You got to listen to the lesson that I teach My life is no day at the beach
