[verse 1 - Kam (Warren G)]
Fool with the Compton life (it`s likewise)
What would you expect and we both checkin` knots
Buckin` shots, the Eastside`s no joke
So take a breatha if you neither a G or a loc
And you can catch me in traffic
Dippin` on gold ones under short skirts like a catholic
But some of y`all need to grow up
Settrippin` when I pass by sayin` (What them niggaz throw up?)
When they know where I`m from I confuse em
(Don`t play don`t remember uh.. here, Muslim!)
Everyday so I say don`t get it twisted
I`m talkin` bout yo cap ol` chap if you missed it
But we only want peace
The real question is who down to make war with these beefs
Then which side should I ride on
Don`t blast give ya brotha a pass say Aight go on
But be careful who ya hit up
Tryna get a rep or get that young ass lit up
So get up n stand up fo` this black thang
And yall brothers who gangbang, try to keep tha peace
CHORUS:
[Snoop Doggy Dogg World] Put yo gun away run away cuz I`m back (why)
Hit`em up, git`em up, spit`em up (now)
[Kam] Stop the killing in the West and the East
[Kam Peace Treaty] For the sake of all tha homies that`s resting in peace!
[Snoop Doggy Dogg World] Put yo gun away run away cuz I`m back (why)
Hit`em up, git`em up, spit`em up (now)
[Kam] Stop the killing from the West to the East
[Kam Peace Treaty] For the sake of all tha homies that`s resting in peace!
[verse 2 - Kam]
Yeah I know you wanna be a hog
And love doin` dirt just you and your roaddog
On a hooride you glide, throwin` up ya sign
This is Eastside BGs dumpin` with the nine
On ya own kind fo` a strike, but let`em be white
Then you pass by the ass wipe
Last night one time came thru the hood bustin`
Find both, devils I ain`t trustin`
Us in the getto got it bad already
But always wanna go to war over somethin` petty
Steady puttin` work in on another Asiatic
Assemble automatic, causin` crazy static
Among brothers of the same flesh n bone
Just say the wrong word and it`s on
A family feud, but this ain`t no game show
We just both got tricked by the same ho
Oh but now you ain`t down for no mission
On a crooked cop or a prejudice politician
Who you know can`t stand yo` guts
So stay home til you grow some nuts
And just keep tha peace
CHORUS
[verse 3 - Kam]
Now they say it`s on with the essays, right
But I know Chicano pride
So let`s raise better days in jail so I`m quiet
Tryin` not to get stuck in a race riot
I came by it when I hear That`s the enemy!
Cuz I`m knowin` down deep they`re some kin to me
Still I gots to defend mine
Between love & hate it`s a thin line
So I take it witta grain of soul
Cuz I`n really not knowin` who to blame of folk
For this tension I mention the skunk
Got crews cavy, the blue-white punk
Playin` both sides against each other
Now that`s the real mutha
You gotta join on to your own and question is can we
Keep it all in the family
Stop lettin` outside people in your circle
And take away everything that you work for
Show love to yourself if you`re willing
To stop the killer, we could stop the killing
And you can keep the peace
CHORUS 2X
I know you got little guns...
Again the foolest thing you got in your pocket you need to be ashamed of
But I`m saying to you that with all your weapons, you`re only hurting yourself
Why young people are dying in the streets of America
By the hundreds and by the thousands
It ain`t white people killing us
It`s us killing one another
