"Are you ready ladies?

All right let's hear your tone on bridge, sing!"

{*women harmonizing*}

[Talib Kweli]

Crossin the bridge..

Brooklyn invented gully, gold fronts, low hoodies

Young girls develop fully, run up on you snatch your goodies

When we say run it that's a stick-up nigga, give it up!

We live it up, fuck with the flyest say we never switch it up

We get it crunk in Brooklyn the biggest borough

Whether you enter the Radcliffs

Boys & Girls, Tek or Murrow{?}, niggas is thorough

Jamaicans and Haitians, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans

Sorta speakin a mix of English imported from all the regions

Yo Hi-Tek, tell them how they do in Cincinnati

Tell the people how they do in Cincinnati

Yo, how do they do it in the 'Natti?

Tell my people how they do it in the 'Natti

[Hook: Talib Kweli]

They say the West coast (brought the funk)

East coast (started it)

Dirty South (got it crunk)

The Midwest, the heart of it

[Hi-Tek] + (Slim Thug)

Hi-Tek, y'all already known what it is

Cincinnati where them pigs quick to chase you off a bridge

Drivin down Lanterns, pit niggas in ghetto holes

It's the home of Marge Schott, Larry Flint, and Deveroes

This ghetto shit I drive past it every day

I'm quick to throw them 26's on the classic Chevrolet

Yeah, definitely the wrong niggas to step to

Cause this is where, Harriet Tubman was tryin to get to

She had a shocker beside her, it was a long one

Don't ever try to come at us wrong son, you wrong one

Yeah let, young Tone come and get his hustle on

And represent the 'Nati I bet you they gon', love this song

We legendary musically from the Isleys to Boosie

Used to come through with my hoopty and scoopin chicks up at U.C

But Slim Thug, tell them how they do it down in H-Town (that's right)

Tell them niggas how they do it in the Dirty South (Dirty South)

Yeah, how do they do it down in H-Town? (ha, Texas mayne)

They wanna know, how they do it in the Dirty South (hol' up)

[Hook]

[Slim Thug] + (Snoop Dogg)

Geah, it's Slim Thugga

From the land of the candy cars, playas sippin purple bars

Where you ain't gotta sign a deal to be a superstar

We +Underground Kingz+ gettin independent change

Down here we swang and bang, lane to lane on them thangs

We call 'em eighty-fo's, got them diamonds on our toes

We sip drank by the paint so we stay throwed

And play our music slow, ride red and ride blue

Them blue riders bang Watts, reds bang Screw

And on the North we do the braids, South do the fades

Them Nawf-side boys thugs, South playa made

Geah - the hustle's paid cause they get the blow for the low

We by the border, Mexico right next do'

And our women fine, yellow with the big behind

H-Town a goldmine for niggas if they got grind (Snoop Dogg!)

How they do it out in Cali? (West West y'all, West West y'all)

Let 'em know how they do it out in Cali (West West West y'all)

Show them boys how they do it down in Cali (West West West West y'all)

They wanna know how you do it down in Cali

[Hook]

[Snoop Dogg]

Gangbang, boogie-oogie, slippin got him for his cookies

Cause you thought he was a rookie, but he was a G

Little did you know he had a heater that's a ratta-tatta

Niggas gon' respect us Bigg D, cause see

Motherfuckers act like they don't know about Cali

We got the best weed slingin out the alleys

We leave ya stretched out, chest out, vest out

D.P.G.C., West out, DoggHouse!

[Hook]

[Outro: Snoop Dogg]

Geah, from the West West

To the big H-Town, all the way to the 'Natti

Hi-Tek, Snoop Dogg, Slim Thug, Talib Kweli

Haha, yeah, that's how we do it y'all

What's the name of that fish spot in the 'Natti I like goin to?

You know what's happenin

Yeah, Alabama's; that the name of it?

Get me some nephew, that three-piece dinner

Yeah, and tell Boosie I'm back

Hahaha, that's how we do it in the 'Natti

Yea yea, that's how we do it in the 'Natti

Yea yea, yea yea, Tek-Zilla I'm out!
