Palm Tree Shade
from Bonus Cuts! by Shames Worthy
about
California anthem
This is only the 3rd verse.
This is only the 3rd verse.
lyrics
(hook)
I represent for the West Coast, born and raised.
Pacific coast shore, where I spend my days.
In an inner city block, fool dues are paid.
Better be afraid under that palm tree shade.
(2x)
(verse)
I'm on the verge of doing something major.
Today I threw away my pager.
I'd rather take ya with me.
Get ready quickly. I don't wanna shake ya.
I'm known to make a "Vet" watch their step,
which means I come correct.
Break the code. Push the envelope and explode.
You think you're tight but if I TOUCH the mic,
I'll give you "the mode." Its like that. My light's back.
I have to be hittin' the road
with the right hook, a lab jab or uppercut.
My grab bag showed Im a fighter. Born to scrap.
In the back room of the crib is where I made the track.
In no time flat, the cut got laced up proper like.
Elevated over the animated 'toon types.
We're living in the real life and making it happen.
Puttin' it work and we learnt if we don't, we get burned.
Yea we're almost there. Its overtime in the game.
Got love like we're blood, Del, Bones & Shame.
