The Method

[Intro: Miles Minnick]
Ayy, praise God for real
I don't know, I don't know how y'all do it
But I see them gettin' real mad about how we do it

[Chorus: Miles Minnick]
Only in (Let's go)
Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland (Ayy)
Daygo (Ayy), L.B. (Ayy), City, we coastin' (Ayy)
What you know about it? Tell me what you know
Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know (Ayy)
L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Ayy)
Sacramento (Ayy, ayy), Vallejo (Ayy), the Hillside (Ayy)
What you know about it? Tell me what you know
Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know (Ay)

[Verse 1: Miles Minnick]
If I'm the one then I gotta be the one
I'ma rep where I'm from (Ayy)
I'ma step where I'm from
Goin' dumb, who is that? (Who is that?)
Talkin' 'bout my gang, I'ma show you (Yeah)
'Bout to double down, bro, I told you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Westside, I ain't leavin' (Leavin')
Castin' out these demons out the region (Out the region)
God placed you here for a reason (Yee)
I pledged my allegiance (Yee)
Do my lil' step and I'm smeezin'
Squabble on the devil, have him leaking (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
They be countin' on the way I must be trippin' (Trip)
Step for the Lord, that don't mean that I'm crippin'
What's up with these Christians? (What's up?)
It's the same message, the method is different
Let's go show them how we livin' (Oh)
[Chorus: Miles Minnick]
Only in
Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland (Ayy)
Daygo (Ayy), L.B. (Ayy), City, we coastin' (Ayy)
What you know about it? Tell me what you know (Oh)
Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know (Ayy)
L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Yay)
Sacramento (Yay, yay), Vallejo (Yay), the Hillside (Yay)
What you know about it? Tell me what you know
Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know (Uh)

[Verse 2: E-40]
Out here in the rubble, was easy to get in trouble
We just tryna survive and keep from being unalive
Take a deep dive in the octagon where its Manny and Foley
Where you might not be a carpenter, but you gotta keep you a toolie
Be alert and stay cautious and don't be corny and goofy
Choose your words wisely and don't be sayin' things thats loosely
Lord please forgive these haters, for they know not what they do
Only person that I fear and I'm afraid of is You
I got hustle in my bones, in my arteries, in my spine
Everyday is communion because I drink my own wine
Earl Stevens is my handle and I been poppin' for years
It's not too many rappers had this type of career
I keep my ear to the turf like Adam Schefter did sports
When I was eight years old my momma and daddy got a divorce
I asked the Lord to protect me, me and my family and squad
And only one I'd ever idolize is God (Oh)
[Bridge: Miles Minnick]
Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland (Ayy)
Daygo (Ay), L.B. (Ay), City, we coastin' (Ayy)
(Father, in the name of Jesus)
(We just pray that You, that You'd wake up the West, Lord)
L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Yay)
Sacramento (Yay, yay), Vallejo (Yay), the Hillside (Yay)
(They are not like us, but we wanna be like You)
(In Jesus name)

[Verse 3: Lecrae & Miles Minnick]
West, west, west, west
West, west, west, west, hm
Had to wake up, get this weight up off my chest (Yes)
Cali streets is when I jumped up out the nest
If you, if you breathin' you can't say that you ain't blessed
Daygo up to ocean side, Bakersfield up to the bay
Stockton up to Sacramento, right back down into L.A
Granny took me to the ocean, put me underneath the tide
When I came up out that water, I was dead, now I'm alive
You should be alive, you should wake up
Earthquakes and fires only made us get our faith up
Stayin' up late, I'm prayin for the whole coast, and my own folks
I got California love, but I want they soul, woah (Woah)
(L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside)
(Sacramento, Vallejo, the Hillside)
[Chorus: Miles Minnick]
Compton, Stockton, Richmond, Oakland (Ayy)
Daygo (Ayy), L.B. (Ayy), City, we coastin' (Ayy)
What you know about it? Tell me what you know (Oh)
Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know (Ayy)
L.A., Valley, Eastside, Westside (Yay)
Sacramento (Yay, yay), Vallejo (Yay), the Hillside (Yay)
What you know about it? Tell me what you know
Tell me what you know about it, tell me what you know
