Mack 10 - Inglewood Swangin´ lyrics

Album: Based On A True Story (1997)

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 bitches fast cars money & fame
this rap shit´s just like the ´90´s dope game
Before sold out shows rocked & hoes jocked
it was all about the ´hood & that Foe Hundred block
A few scraps as a puppy dog
you had to be down
to roam that infamous neighborhood
where niggas 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 skills & hittin´ drills in Pop Warner
The unforgettable good old days how it used to be
´foe niggas made the transition from a jock to a G
now the streets is nice but the police is thick
´cause niggas sick & mo´ murders
committed than a horror flick
but whatever happen rappin´ or not
it is the same for me
it is still I.N.G. foe L.I.F.E.
so...

Chorus
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 & Inglewood Familias
The landmarks in the ´hood is legendary
the fabulous Forum, the Court & the Library
The city hall is scandalous to the average tax payer
so the town done f*cked around & voted me the mayor
had G´s that put they life on the line & 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 & the rest is esays
so we spin & we win up & down Market St.
Bitch I am a million dollar nigga & still shop the Swapmeet
what I am in right now probably aint worth a hundred bucks
a beany T-shirt khakis & a fresh pair of Chucks
That is a real nigga foe you that is me so don´t knock it
I got everything I need plus money in my pocket
So...

Chorus

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 & palm trees
to Japanese screamin´ for a nigga overseas
But I´ve got to think about O.G´s I got game from
remain the same nigga & can´t forget where I came from
We all know money make the world go ´round
so I give back to my town & put a few niggas 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 & Shaq can go half & buy the city
So...

Chorus
