[Intro: Ice Cube, WC]

Worldwide, baby

Uh, uh

Westside Connect gang, Connect gang, bing-bing-bang


[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

The world is mine, ni'a, get back

Don't mess with my stack, the game is rap

About to drop the bomb, I'm the West Coast 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

Runnin' everything west of the Mississippi

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

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

Bow down before I make a phone call

Got twenty-five ni'as runnin' up on y'all

For thе cheese, everybody freezе, on your knees

'Fore we squeeze, butt naked please

Before any of you guppies get heart

Ni'a, 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 ni'a that's greater than you, ooh


[Verse 2: Mack 10]

I take ten steps and I draw (Blaow!)

Now who's dissin' the mad bad Inglewood addition?

I bust like a pimple, my mind is illmental

The Westside Connects with me in South Central

Lend a drag from the zig zag, can't puff 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, call me the heat holder

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 work scene king

Lolos, corniches and baguettes on my pieces

So recognize these real G's chase the cheese

The Westdside Connect'll keep it rollin' like gold D's

Three-wheelin' and dealin' is like the California style

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

[Chorus: Mack 10, Ice Cube]

(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 ni'a that's greater than you


[Verse 3: WC]

Well, it's that Chuck wearin', still sportin' a beanie

The Shadiest One 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

Run away, run away or mess around or get faded

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

Ain't no hidin' it, I'm connected, simple and plain

Which means I could care less about you cowards in this rap game

Flashy fools get rolled up (Uh), caught up (Uh)

When you come around, keep your chain tucked

From this zero-zero apostrophe S affiliate

Shake a studio lyricist, I'm real with this

Talk the talk, walk the walk

Diss me on wax and I'm taping off the whole sidewalk, ni'a

I'm platinum bound, so trick shut up

Punk, all y'all could kiss my Converse like Sho'nuff

[Chorus: WC, Ice Cube]

(Bow down) When you come to my town

(Bow down) When I'm westward bound

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

Bow down to a ni'a that's greater than you


[Verse 4: Shaquille O'Neal]

Yo, Shaquille is everlasting, got more cream than Hostess

Controlling your mind like hypnosis

You notice my format needs more than a Mortal Kombat

Hit you hard, lay you flat like a doormat, I'm Shaq

Born in New Jers', my worldwide is residential

Claimin' no set, my Rolex is presidential

With more ice than a freezer, the good life of cheeba

Pack more wood than a beaver, I'm hot like fever

Three hundred pound, wide like receiver

Seven-feet-two-inches even, the overseer

So see this, what your, ears can't catch

And your hands can't hear—did I make myself clear?

[Chorus: Shaquille O'Neal, Ice Cube]

(Bow down) Shaq is in your town

(Bow down) Now I'm westward bound

Because I'm not a hater like you

Bow down to a baller that's greater than you

(Bow down) Shaq is in your town

(Bow down) Now I'm westward bound

Because I'm not a hater like you

Bow down to a killer that's greater than you


[Outro: Ice Cube]

Bow down

Bow down

Bow down

I pledge allegiance

To the rag of the United Westside Connection

And the W for which it stands

One neighborhood under God

Invincible, with luxuries and riches for all

Bow down (Westside)

Bow down (Westside Connect gang, Connect gang, bing-bing-bang)

Bow down (Westside Connect gang, Connect gang, bing-bing-bang)

Bow down

Bow down

Bow down

Bow down
