Choose a track to play
Yo, small town kid in a dead-end zone
Cornfields stretchin', everybody known
Baggy jeans saggin', Detroit hat tilted low
Lugz on my feet, walkin' slow through the snow
They stare from the porch like I'm straight from Mars
White boy blastin' beats in my Discman, scars
On they tongue when I pass, whisper look at that fool
Tryna act Black, think he cool, breakin' rules
But I'm zoned out, Snoop in my ears
Gin & Juice on repeat, drownin' out the sneers
Ain't hurtin' nobody, just lovin' the flow
G-funk ridin', let the chronic smoke blow
Headphones on, world off, I'm gone
Snoop Doggy Dogg got me floatin' along
They call me wigger, laugh behind my back
But I keep it movin', stayin' on my track
Headphones on, volume maxed to the red
Small town talk can't touch what's in my head
Wigger this, wigger that, whatever y'all say
I'm ridin' with Dogg Pound all day
Pickup trucks roll by, country stations blastin'
They crank Garth Brooks while I'm steady relaxin'
To Murder Was the Case, bass hittin' my chest
Mom say turn that noise down, dad just stressed
At the diner they mumble, he think he from the hood
If they only knew I just love how it sound good
Ain't claimin' no streets, ain't reppin' no set
Just a kid with a tape deck, no regrets
They point and they giggle, he wanna be Black
I shrug, press play, let the beat bring me back
To Long Beach summers I never even seen
But Snoop paint the picture, make it feel like a dream
Headphones on, world off, I'm gone
Snoop Doggy Dogg got me floatin' along
They call me wigger, laugh behind my back
But I keep it movin', stayin' on my track
Headphones on, volume maxed to the red
Small town talk can't touch what's in my head
Wigger this, wigger that, whatever y'all say
I'm ridin' with Dogg Pound all day
One day I'll bounce, hit the coast for real
Till then I'm ghost, let the cassette reel
Ain't changin' for them, ain't foldin' to the crowd
Music saved me, made me proud
So keep talkin' slick, keep throwin' that shade
I'll be over here, laid back, gettin' paid
In my mind, where the lowriders creep
Where the beat don't stop and the chronic run deep
Small town can't hold what's inside my soul
Snoop showed me freedom, made this white boy whole
Headphones on… yeah
Snoop Doggy Dogg forever
Small town whispers fade out
Peace
