[CHORUS: sung]
Touch me, feel me, smell me
Don by any means necessary

You can't $#&@ with a legendary
East Bay Gangster


[VERSE 1]
When it's all said and done a player's pushed power and paper
We all ball, playin russian roulette with thug's nature

Rush and pull capers, savage like _Amistad_
I know you seein what these demons is doin but I ain't scared
Got me grindin, havin hustler's dreams, killin for cream

It seems when you're close to your goal that's when they scheme
Ever since Pac and Biggie died the game done watered down
With generic-ass ^!$$%s who ain't gon' even stick around

For 2 minutes, $#&@ 5 minutes of fame, I'm 10 years
With longevity, ^!$$%, deep as $#&@ in this game
How could you speak upon a legendary

East Bay Gangster Spice 1, don by any means necessary
Spice 1, don by any means necessary, ^!$$%
Dn by any means necessary

Is you feelin me?
Like !@%$ and $$#
Is you feelin me?

Like clockin some cash

[CHORUS x2]


[VERSE 2]
We ain't bull%#@!tin, dump a ^!$$% up in a ditch and

Get to cookin chickens in the kitchen, it's non-fiction
Realism, with multiplied bodies like catechism
You $#&@in with the fetti just equals to murderism

Hurt em, hit em, aim to split em down the middle, did him, got him
Kicked the ^!$$% dead in his $$# before I shot him


Rapper's complex, you ^!$$%s think I think I'm the %#@!
But I was goin dub for dub just like you in '86
I pop my collar cause me to you is like a pit to a chihuahua

^!$$%, Taco Bell is that-a-way, (*##$ ^!$$%, put your gat away
The big dog, $#&@ Scooby Doo, scrappin for scratch
Pass the dubee, fool, what's crackin, ^!$$%, don't baby-sit that

You can't $#&@ with the legendary
East Bay Gangster, Spice 1, don by any means necessary
Spice 1, don by any means necessary

^!$$%, by any means necessary

[CHORUS x2]


[VERSE 3]
And all you ^!$$%s talkin that %#@! in them streets can suck my dick

You can quote me on that, I'm a real rider, (*##$
Your opinion is like a $$#hole, I stick my Uzi in it
$#&@ you @@#!roaches talkin bunch of %#@!, I'm born sinnin

Been in it from the beginnin, Spice 1 the O.G.
Coast to coast, worldwide mutha$#&@as know me
I'm the one who set the foundation

For them ^!$$%s that sp-spit the g-gangsta %#@! real fast all the way
Across the nation
That %#@! you talkin 'bout I was born when I played it

Cause magazines be so East Coast orientated
Politics in the game, they forced this %#@! down our throat
We wanna hear ^!$$%s from where we from on the radio


[CHORUS until end]
