[Intro: Freddie Gibbs]

Hello, this is headquarters

For sure, Gangsta Gibbs, baby

Uhh, E-S to the G-N, yeah

L.A., shout out, hahahah, yeah

[Verse 1: Freddie Gibbs]

Nigga, fuck it, '77 Cutlass

I move my ass to Cali with my Indiana bucket

I need to slap a wet one on the frame, a little rusty

They call my shit a scraper, in the Bay the bitches love it

And I'm choking on some Cali good

Been wanted to cruise on Crenshaw

Since a little nigga watching "Boyz n the Hood"

Since Ricky got killed, copping that corn meal

Before the palm trees, pussy and the recording years

I was overdue for a visit

A valley bitch with family in the Chi gave me the digits

The 8-1-8, the sex was great, perfect the art of fornication

Put a bitch out the car for a bar, your Cali conversation

All my hoes from way back want me to be chilling where they at

G.I. until I die but bitch L.A. is where I lay at

My children gon' be raised at where they gon' place my grave at

Since Magic bought the team, he brought new meaning to that L.A. hat

And shout out to the blocks; Inglewood, Compton, South Central to Watts

[Chorus: Polyester The Saint & Freddie Gibbs]

My home, my home (that's where I stay at, nigga)

L.A. I ride for you (that's where I lay at, nigga)

When I am gone (that's where I stay at, nigga)

Just know that I owe you (that's where I lay at, nigga)

My home, my home (L.A.)

L.A. I ride for you (you know I ride for you)

When I am gone (for sure)

Just know that I owe you (uhh, uhh, yeah)

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]

I'm on my way to LAX from JFK

It's a great day

I mean I love New York, but of course

I live out there so don't go there, you heard it before

Ironic my uncle had the King of Music on Crenshaw

'Cause now I'm the king of music to all y'all

California love, California dreaming

I've seen lost angels, I even found demons

Where you learn to survive and keep your head high

Hit the weed clinic for sativa, get your head high

We ain't in Kansas City, but you'll find a TEC-9

And if that tech jammed, you better have a toast, too

Fuck that, this what we gon' toast to

Everybody that ain't die before 21 like we was s'posed to

For the mail, I'm going postal

I heard the baddest females off pacific coastal

If it means anything, I'm so L.A., my dad died on King, nigga

[Chorus: Polyester The Saint & Freddie Gibbs]

My home, my home (that's where I stay at, nigga)

L.A. I ride for you (that's where I lay at, nigga)

When I am gone (that's where I stay at, nigga)

Just know that I owe you (that's where I lay at, nigga)

My home, my home (L.A.)

L.A. I ride for you (you know I ride for you)

When I am gone (for sure)

Just know that I owe you (uhh, uhh, yeah)

[Verse 3: Freddie Gibbs]

Yeah, went from a condo to sleeping on my nigga couch

Popping sedatives, negatives in my bank account

Too much pride to let this pussy industry play me out

Repairing that broken dream, that's what L.A. about

Shout to Cali Bud, my West Coast plug

Brother from another mother, he showed that West Coast love

Nigga, me and Killa Caz was pulling them stick-ups, cuz

Bending blocks with my nigga Box smoking the whip up, Blood

Gots to keep it true when I maneuver

I got all kind of homies, Harlems, Avalons and Hoovers

My little homie from Families, he keep a team of shooters

My 60 niggas stay Rolling, my Eight Trey niggas moving

Been 20 years since the riots

L.A. niggas keep it thorough, fuck keeping quiet

Bitch it's on in this war zone where we reside

As I begin, let my sins wash away with the tide

Who the fuck I'm kidding? I done tried everything but dying

Flirting with other places but this Cali bitch stay on my mind

[Chorus: Polyester The Saint & Freddie Gibbs]

My home, my home (that's where I stay at, nigga)

L.A. I ride for you (that's where I lay at, nigga)

When I am gone (that's where I stay at, nigga)

Just know that I owe you (that's where I lay at, nigga)

My home, my home (L.A.)

L.A. I ride for you (you know I ride for you)

When I am gone (for sure)

Just know that I owe you (uhh, uhh, yeah)

[Skit: 2Pac]

This is not a new allegiance to the West Coast

I've been on the West Coast all this time
