Bow Down Lyrics by Westside Connection

The Best of Westside Connection

1996

[Verse 1: Ice Cube]
The world is mine, nigga, get back
Don't fuck with my stack, the gauge is racked
About to drop the bomb, I'm the motherfuckin' 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
Running everything west of the Mississippi
It's the unseen, pulling strings with my pinky ring
We got your woman, pucker up 'fore we fuck her up
Bow down before I make a phone call
Got 25 niggas running up on y'all
For the cheese, we want them keys
Everybody freeze, on your knees, butt naked please
Before any of you guppies get heart
Nigga, 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 nigga that's greater than you (Ooh)

[Verse 2: Mack 10, Ice Cube]
I take ten steps and I draw (Blaow!)
Now who's dissin' the mad-ass Inglewood addition
I bust like a pimple, my mind is ill mental
The Westside Connect's with me and South Central
And a drag from the Zig Zag, can't fuck 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 with a chrome pistola (Brr)
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 crack-scene king
Lolos, Corniches and baguettes on my pieces (Ugh)
So recognize these real G's, chase the cheese
The Westside Connect' keep it rolling like gold D's
Three-wheeling and dealing, it's like the California style
But in the meanwhile, in my town, you got to bow

[Chorus: Mack 10]
(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 nigga that's greater than you

[Verse 3: WC, Ice Cube]
Well it's that, Chuck-wearing, still sporting a beanie
The shadiest nigga 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 (Westside)
Run away, run away, or get your punk ass slayed
By this H double O to the D to the S-T-A (Ah)
Fuck hiding it, I'm gang-related, simple and plain
Which means I could give a fuck about you niggas in this rap game (Ugh)
Flashy niggas get stuck up (Ugh), beat the fuck up (Ugh)
When you come around, keep your chain tucked from this
Zero-zero-apostrophe S shit
Fuck a studio lyricist, I'm real with this (Yes)
Talk the talk, walk the walk
Diss me on wax, I'm tryna saw your whole fucking head off, nigga
I'm platinum bound, so bitch, shut up
And nigga, all y'all could kiss my Converse like Sho Nuff

[Chorus: WC, All]
(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 nigga that's greater than you
(Bow down) When you come to our town
(Bow down) When we westward bound
(Bow down) 'Cause we ain't no haters like you
Bow down to some niggas that's greater than you

[Interlude: Ice Cube]
Yeah
Ha
Let me tell you something
Gangstas make the world go round
So you ain't got to clown
But if you live on the west side of your town
Make them other fools bow down
Westside Connection
The world belongs to us

[Refrain: All]
Bow down
Bow down
Bow down

[Chorus: All, Ice Cube]
(Bow down) When you come to our town
(Bow down) When we westward bound
(Bow down) 'Cause we ain't no haters like you
Bow down to some niggas that's greater than you (Fool)
