[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

The world is mine, nigga, get back

Don't fuck with my stack, the gauge is racked

About to drop the bomb, I'm the motherfuckin' don

Big fish in a small pond

Now the feds tryna throw they book at the crook

But I shook they worm and they hook

Guppies hold they breath, they wanna miss me when I'm tipsy

Running everything west of the Mississippi

It's the unseen, pulling strings with my pinky ring

We got your woman, pucker up 'fore we fuck her up

Bow down before I make a phone call

Got twenty-five niggas running up on y'all

For the cheese, we want them keys

Everybody freeze, on your knees, butt naked please

Before any of you guppies get heart

Nigga, rewind my part, fool, and


[Chorus: Ice Cube]

(Bow down) When I come to your town

(Bow down) When I'm westward bound

(Bow down) 'Cause I ain't a hater like you

Bow down to a nigga that's greater than you (Ooh)

[Verse 2: Mack 10, Ice Cube]

I take ten steps and I draw (Blaow!)

Now who's dissin' the mad-ass Inglewood addition

I bust like a pimple, my mind is ill mental

The Westside Connect's with me and South Central

And a drag from the Zig Zag, can't fuck with the Phillies

Holdin' down the Wild West like a Kid they call Billy

Once again it's Mack 10, the gold crown holder

Strong as a Coca-Cola with a chrome pistola (Brr)

Now who wanna fuss so I can bust when I cuss

My look bring you fear with gear from the Surplus

Since a teen, I chased the green, the crack-scene king

Lolos, Corniches and baguettes on my pieces (Ugh)

So recognize these real G's, chase the cheese

The Westside Connect' keep it rolling like gold D's

Three-wheeling and dealing, it's like the California style

But in the meanwhile, in my town, you got to bow


[Chorus: Mack 10]

(Bow down) When you come to my town

(Bow down) When I'm westward bound

(Bow down) Because I ain't a hater like you

Bow down to a nigga that's greater than you

[Verse 3: WC, Ice Cube]

Well it's that, Chuck-wearing (Uh), still sporting a beanie (Yeah)

The shadiest nigga in the clique, who wanna see me?

As I slide my Locs on, let my khakis hang

Westside Connect' gang, Connect' gang, bing-bing bang (Westside)

Run away, run away, or get your punk ass slayed

By this H double O to the D to the S-T-A (Ah)

Fuck hiding it, I'm gang-related, simple and plain

Which means I could give a fuck about you niggas in this rap game (Ugh)

Flashy niggas get stuck up (Ugh), beat the fuck up (Ugh)

When you come around, keep your chain tucked from this

Zero-zero-apostrophe S shit

Fuck a studio lyricist, I'm real with this (Yes)

Talk the talk, walk the walk

Diss me on wax, I'm tryna saw your whole fucking head off, nigga

I'm platinum bound, so bitch, shut up

And nigga, all y'all could kiss my Converse like Sho Nuff

[Chorus: WC, All]

(Bow down) When I come to your town

(Bow down) When I'm westward bound

(Bow down) 'Cause I ain't a hater like you

Bow down to a nigga that's greater than you

(Bow down) When you come to our town

(Bow down) When we westward bound

(Bow down) 'Cause we ain't no haters like you

Bow down to some niggas that's greater than you


[Interlude: Ice Cube]

Yeah

Ha

Let me tell you something

Gangstas make the world go round

So you ain't got to clown

But if you live on the west side of your town

Make them other fools bow down

Westside Connection

The world belongs to us


[Refrain: All]

Bow down

Bow down

Bow down

[Chorus: All, Ice Cube]

(Bow down) When you come to our town

(Bow down) When we westward bound

(Bow down) 'Cause we ain't no haters like you

Bow down to some niggas that's greater than you (Fool)
