The Method

Like, I don't know, I don't know how y'all do it

But I see them gettin' real mad about how we do it

Only in (Let's go)

Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland

Daygo, L.B., City, we coastin'

What you know about it? Tell me what you know

Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know

L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside

Sacramento, Vallejo, the Hillside

What you know about it? Tell me what you know

Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know

If I'm the one then I gotta be the one, I'ma rep where I'm from

I'ma step where I'm from, goin' dumb, who is that?

Talkin' 'bout my gang, I'ma show you

'Bout to double down, bro, I told you

Westside, I ain't leavin', castin' out these demons out the region

God placed you here for a reason, I pledged my allegiance(ye, ye)

Do my lil' step and I'm smeezin'

Squabble on the devil, have him leaking

They be countin' on the way I must be trippin' (Trip)

Step for the Lord, that don't mean that I'm crippin'

What's up with these Christians? (What's up?)

It's the same message, the method is different

Let's go show them how we livin'

Only in Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland

Daygo, L.B., City, we coastin'

What you know about it? Tell me what you know (Oh)

Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know

L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Yay)

Sacramento, Vallejo, the Hillside (Yay, yay, yay, yay)

What you know about it? Tell me what you know

Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know

Out here in the rubble, was easy to get in trouble

We just tryna survive and keep from being unalive

Take a deep dive in the octagon where its Manny and Foley

Where you might not be a carpenter, but you gotta keep you a toolie

Be alert and stay cautious and don't be corny and goofy

Choose your words wisely and don't be sayin' things that's loosely

Lord, please forgive these haters, for they know not what they do

Only person that I fear and I'm afraid of is You

I got hustle in my bones, in my arteries, in my spine

Everyday is communion because I drink my own wine

Earl Stevens is my handle and I been poppin' for years

It's not too many rappers had this type of career

I keep my ear to the turf like Adam Schefter did sports

When I was eight years old, my momma and daddy got a divorce

I asked the Lord to protect me, me and my family and squad

And only one I'd ever idolize is God

Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland (Ayy)

Daygo, L.B., City, we coastin' (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

(Father, in the name of Jesus)

(We just pray that You, that You'd wake up the West, Lord)

L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Yay)

Sacramento, Vallejo, the Hillside (Yay, yay, yay, yay)

(They are not like us, but we wanna be like You)

(In Jesus name) West, West

West, West, West, West, West, hm

Had to wake up, get this weight up off my chest (Yes)

Cali streets is when I jumped up out the nest

If you, if you breathin' you can't say that you ain't blessed

Daygo up to Oceanside, Bakersfield up to the Bay

Stockton up to Sacramento, right back down into L.A

Granny took me to the ocean, put me underneath the tide

When I came up out that water, I was dead, now I'm alive

You should be alive, you should wake up

Earthquakes and fires only made us get our faith up

Stayin' up late, I'm prayin for the whole coast and my own folks

I got California love, but I want they soul, woah (Woah)

(L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside)

Come through the Westside

(Sacramento, Vallejo, the Hillside)

Come through the Westside

Come through

Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland (Ayy)

Daygo, L.B., City, we coastin' (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

What you know about it? Tell me what you know (Oh)

Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know (Ayy)

L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Yay)

Sacramento, Vallejo, the Hillside (Yay, yay, yay, yay)

What you know about it? Tell me what you know

Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know

Come through the Westside

Come through the Westside, yeah

And E-40
