Live & Die In The Bay Lyrics - J Stalin

(Tupac intro) 

When I got to Oakland, that's when I learned the game 

And I just saw it, I saw it Oakland, I saw it living in Oakland, I saw it thriving in Oakland 

And that's, that was never in no other city I lived in 

So I give all my love for Oakland, if Ima claim somewhere 

Ima claim Oakland, Oakland got they got the playas 

They got Section 8, they got Richie Rich 

They got The Governor, they got Too Short 

They got E-40, they got Tha Clique 

The Bay Area's movig sum', you know what I'm sayin'? 

Don't get it twisted, it's like they got 

They whole new evolution of music that's comin' out 

Niggas that's rappin' from their heart 

They not takin' any other's style 

They just do it!

(Hook) 

To live and die in the Bay (it's the place to be) 

You gotta be here to know it (everybody wanna see) 

To live and die in the Bay 

To live and die in the Bay 

(Rayven Justice) 

To live and die in the Bay, 

Niggas grinding trynna make a way (make a way) 

Every place I've been, it ain't shit like where I stay 

East Oakland is where I'm from, first place to go stupid, go dumb 

On mamas, if ya didn't know, it's the same place uncle Too Short from 

Everybody wanna sound just like this 

Everybody wanna just talk like this 

Everybody wanna just dance like this 

That's why... I say... 

(Hook)

(Bay Area) Uh, to lay it down, let's go 

If only you'd really know, like all the game that I can 

Real talk, place right here, that's no lie, I swear 

Ask Philmore Slip, uh, he'll tell you it's real 

I sold 200 & she set my appeal 

I can neva be a hater, I dunno how it feel 

I'm the man of my city, I'm expanding fo' real 

It's the bay where the mob is the call how to live 

Mac Dre was finna blow right before he got killed 

I'm the man, finna do it, I done signed me a deal 

They was taking my style you should tellem 'to chill' 

(Hook) 

(J Stalin) 

Hella bad bitches on my line, tho 

All I'm sayn, don't frisk on me and my nigga 

Keep it poppin', that's Chris go 

Fresh outta jail, that's why I'mma go 

Back to the turf, like I neva left 

Back to the kitchen, bitch, I've been a chef 

I been all around the world, ain't nothin' like the west 

Know a few real niggas comin' out the ricks 

My Vallejo niggas ain't neva been a bitch 

Berkeley niggas been getting chips 

And city niggas been having bricks 

My APA niggas been with the shit 

(Hook) 

(Kool John) 

I say I from the Bay but I'mma die in the rich 

I'm a high ass nigga, I'mma die with a zip 

I'mma die with some money, need my daughter a wheel 

Where you from around niggas hard to kill 

Lovin' this independent grind, fuck a record deal 

Man, 'em cookies and that swerve made me hecka still 

I pop a bottle, take a sip and let the rest spill 

I'm chargin' for my services, tryna stack up a mill 

I keep my hoes in line, like a fire drill 

And every time I get payed I hear the chronic wheel 

And the bay bitches got it and I gotta have it 

You can me in the riches, I'mma die to ride 'em 

(Hook)
