[Intro: Warren G]
This song is dedicated to all my people
That was caught up in Hurricane Katrina
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama
We ridin' with y'all
You know what I'm sayin'?
I feel your pain
We gon' make it through this y'all
Yeah
Come on
[Verse 1: Warren G]
We here today then gone tomorrow
It's got me singing a Marvin Gaye song
It make me wanna holler
So I hop in my Impala
Just to cruise, shake my blues
It's hard to follow
Hard to swallow what they sayin' on the news
Good Lord, it's a crazy world
Watchin' cops puttin' cuffs on a five-year-old girl
Racism, racism got our babies in the system
Mom and daddies in the prison
That's intentional division
They don't want us all united
They keep the families divided
Keep it gangsta, keep it real
That's all I hear but I don't buy it
When it's revolution time, all these fools'll will keep quiet
Like shh, you can, you can hear a pin drop
Can't go to 110 'cause I might get popped
People shootin' on the freeway, when will it stop?
But stay strong 'cause the rain don't last
And Bush, the war been over, fix the price on gas
[Chorus: Side Effect]
Don't let no one, no one
Get you down
'Cause if they do, if they do
I'll be around
[Verse 2: Ice Cube]
Why the black and the brown got to fight in the pen?
The black and the brown, they squabbin' again
The motherfuckin' sheriffs is laughin' again
That shit stink, keep your ass out the wind
See, the black and the brown, we can share the same land
When I was a slave, where the fuck did I ran?
California, man, it was full of Mexicans
This is they shit, nigga, can't say shit
Just, kick back and enjoy the sunshine
Live your life, stay away from one-time
Get your money, mayne, find the lunch line
This ain't a joke, nigga, where's the punchline?
The ghetto is a trap homie, take the cheese
Soon as you do it, here come the police
Invented and designed for us to fail
Homie, don't you end up dead or in jail
[Chorus: Side Effect]
Don't let no one, no one
Get you down
'Cause if they do, if they do
I'll be around
[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg]
I try to do right, I don't wanna do wrong
I'm doin' better things, man, I wanna live long
Ain't too many fools out there harder than me
I love football so much, man, I started a league
Oh, what a pity, it's made for the inner city
It used to be dark but now the park's real pretty
Lil' boys outside throwin' footballs
In the hood, y'all
Hey, Snoop Dogg, how could y'all
Let 'em pass instead of blast
The football field is a class
And I'm a teacher, teach 'em my lesson
Shotgun formation, no Smith and no Wesson
The haters keep stressin'
And everybody wanna ask me the question
Ayy, Boss Dogg, how you feel now?
You helpin' out the kids and they still hatin' on ya, wow!
[Interlude: Warren G]
You know what I'm sayin'
There's a lot goin' on in this world
But we gotta keep on pushin' and movin' and groovin'
You know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, even though we got these hard times
We still gotta keep it steady, you know?
Keep pushin'
So I want y'all to ride with me and cha-cha to this
Come on
[Chorus: Side Effect]
Don't let no one, no one
Get you down
'Cause if they do, if they do
I'll be around
