[Tray-Dee]
Once upon a time not long ago
4 way befo da dayz I wuz known 2 flow
I wuz showin str8 luv in da beach
Hugz frum da freaks
Even by tha thugs wit da heats
Now it seem da hole damn hood dun switchd up
Used to put our fists up see who lip git bust
Hallain out da set as we sweat at da hutch
Come frum out of bounds mess around git stuck
So tell me what's up wit dis LBC thang
Homies hatin homies wen we on this G thang
Now peep game it's about ta be the next century
It ain't about life witout da penetentaries
It git ta be a damn shame at times
Knowin we da strongest wen thangs combine
Bang da 9 dub an' insane 4 life
West an' North side keep brangin it right

[Hook: Butch Cassidy]
Let's all come together leave that bull alone
I'm tired of playin games man what's goin on
We all shood luv one anutha put da guns away
An' kick it with each otha on dis luvly thang

[Snoop Dogg]
We pushin da real about da LBC
Dirty D, Reeseka, an' Big Skrappy
C-Dogg on the switch cuz dis is Eastside good
Beach City 2 da fullest wut chall thout dis wuz
I'm hallain at my family Jimmy Brown from tha beach
He told me that the hood wuz back crackin at peace
So u know me I'mma throw us a feast
Fa all my homeboyz frum da muthafuckin East
Y'all deserve it I'm swervin in da beema now
I wish all my dead homeboys could see me now
I'm driftin thinkin back how it was
But all dis money kan't bring thea homies back up
So take it for wut it wuz worth
Frum da earth to da dirt
We gunna du dis til yo head hurt
My time keeps slippin away
Me an' my niggas keep chippin away
I remember wen my nigga Fay was locked away
We used to tell him how we dreamd about gittin payd
An' now we takin trips wile we mix alize
An' we do dis in da LBC kinda way

[Hook]

[Goldie Loc]
You got me on da money makin mission
But my moms at thea house stedy wishin
That I don't roll out cause she know sumthin rong
So I take anutha git frum da bomb
I leave da house ta git wit dis gangsta hits
Doggs an' locs git redy to manage a grip
Dirty Dale frum insane an' lil Sag frum da dub
Dem both of bruthas I gots ta giv em love
Now what this sound like
Me blastin anyone of my kind foo that ain't rite
I still repent on evrythang that I did
Let me put my thangs up I gots ta raise me a kid
Baby Goldie gunna have it jus like Spanky
Let me git my funds right homie don't playa hate me
Light it up blaze it up ain't no need fa chokin
Eastside Long Beach fool, we West Coast

Tha Eastsidaz

Tha Eastsidaz is a West Coast trio consisting of Snoop Dogg, Tray Deee and Goldie Loc.

They were formed in 2000 and released their self-titled debut album that same year. In 2001 they released their second and final album, Duces ‘N Trayz… The Old Fashioned Way.

The group broke up before Duces was released, with Snoop leaving the group and Tray Deee being sentenced to 12 years for attempted murder.
