Gold Herringbone

[Intro]
Gold herringbone (gold herringbone)
Uh, this is the first thing I bought with my check, yeah
Yeah (yeah), yump (yump), yeah (yeah)
West (west), yeah (yeah), yump (yump), yeah (yeah)

[Verse 1]
Dijon Shariff Thames is the name my momma gave me
You'll see the side now, born Englewood baby
A lotta y'all wouldn't be here to the game the same time
DJ Quick Drop Quick is the name
The year was '91, I don't remember much then
But I was always with my auntie and my little cousin
See my auntie was a blood, my uncle was in jail
My daddy wasn't there when my momma did hair
So I spent most of my hours with her
And would listen to that G shit when I was rehearse
Sugar Free, Quik, Snoop, 40, Short, Dre, Pop
West coast legends I had to be one, straight drop

[Chorus]
You notice this man, the West LA rap
Birthday gang, you should join my set
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck
1, 2, 3, 4, reppin' for fly niggas, we all across the globe
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck
1, 2, 3, 4 (Welcome to Mann's World)
Leave them suckers at the door
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah (yeah), yump (yump), yeah (yeah)
West (west), yeah (yeah), yump (uh), yeah (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Pick up the pen at 14, created real magic
No mirrors or smoke screens
I was too little to play on those teams
There was a big difference from me and most teens
Into adult things and I started becoming
Infatuated with money, women, and clothing
They said "Mann you'll never make it, not in yo dreams" (what?)
Now I'm on and they stuffin' LA with no cheese
Shy lil pro see here to give you what you need
I'm here for the long term, you're stuck with me
Oh no I ain't leavin' no time soon
Man, I just moved in, new home is your iTunes

[Chorus]
You notice this man, the West LA rap
Birthday gang, you should join my set
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck
1, 2, 3, 4, reppin' for fly niggas, we all across the globe
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck
1, 2, 3, 4 (Welcome to Mann's World)
Leave them suckers at the door
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah (yeah), yump (yump), yeah (yeah)
West (west), yeah (yeah), yump (uh), yeah (yeah)

[Bridge]
Very young boy, who grew up in the urban community
Shit, a gold chain meant the world to us man
When I got my check, first thing I bought
Was this gold herringbone around my neck
Mann's World
West LA (West LA, West LA)
Birthday gang, West LA, yeah

[Outro]
You notice this man, the West LA rap
Birthday gang, you should join my set
Not a blood or a crip, just cockin' my grip
And I put that on the gold herringbone on my neck
