E-40, Shawty, oh, Big Snoop
California`s finest, West Coast

I`m doing everything I can to get my buzz on
Trying not to feel this pain no more
That`s why I`m popping these pills and smoking this dro
And drinking this Henney straight
Trying not to feel this pain no more

I came from the bottom of the barrel, to everyday new apparel
From a shoe string budget to more jewelry than a pharaoh
Up out a place called Vallejo, house smaller than a hut
First city in California to go bankrupt

Came a long way, let the truth be told
Penitentiary chances sweating over the stove
Seen them come and go, I`m the last of my crop
Don`t compare me to nobody unless you`re talking `bout Pac, oh

Just trying to survive and stay alive, so many of my people done died
Nowadays, you`re an O.G. if you live to be 25
My partner in there with his grand-daddy doing 25
Lifting water bags, doing burpees exercise

I hand pick my friends `cause people ain`t trustable
Feelings like broads, their motives is questionable
Suckers sneak diss me and call me up on the phone
They say, 40 Water, I just wanna be on

I`m doing everything I can to get my buzz on
Trying not to feel this pain no more
That`s why I`m popping these pills and smoking this dro
And drinking this Henney straight
Trying not to feel this pain no more

They say money makes the world go round
And since I`m worth twenty mil
I wanna see this bitch spin like the rims on a Schwinn
Hop on that bike, ride through the neighborhood

Compton on smash, them boys get cash, money like Baby do
I got a scar over my heart `cause that`s what hating`ll do
So watch your back like a tattoo artist
A coffin don`t give a f**k about who the hardest

You lay where the people who mourn, pray
Get your name etched in stones with your born day
Small talk over a glass of Grand Marnier
As I sip from the glass, my mind starts packing this Louis Vuitton bags

Take a trip to the past, hear that shot going blast
See my brother lying dormant, IV`s in his arms
Can`t you see he got a piss bag?
17 years old and you ni**az wonder why I`m so cold

I`m doing everything I can to get my buzz on
Trying not to feel this pain no more
That`s why I`m popping these pills and smoking this dro
And drinking this Henney straight
Trying not to feel this pain no more

Let me get a fifth of some brandy, a plate of some candy
Cindy, Sandy, Mindy, Mandy
Tina, Brandy, Keisha, Angie
Man, we can`t we all get along

Two shots of Patron, I did it till the break of dawn
Big fish in a pond, running my triathlon
Doggy Dogg keep the bone one of a kind, blow you mind
Just like Einstein, born to shine

I`m getting mine prime time like 21
Get `er done, everything in my life, I make it look like fun
Everyday of my life, I`m trying get my buzz on
`Cause on some other s**t, I`m keeping it on the under bitch

So much pain I overcame, same thang
Me, E-40 and Game came from the same gang
But you wouldn`t understand
I`m populating with my weakless translation
That`s my main man, let me hit that damn thang

I`m doing everything I can to get my buzz on
Trying not to feel this pain no more
That`s why I`m popping these pills and smoking this dro
And drinking this Henney straight
Trying not to feel this pain no more
