WESTSIDE GRIPP – SWITCH UP [INTRO: SPOKEN] Yeah! Westside! Funny how the whole room change when the lights get dim. Same ones talkin' loyalty ain't checkin' in. I see everything, I just don't say everything. Crank that! Let that pocket breathe! [HOOK: AGGRESSIVE DC GO-GO CHANT] Switch up! Switch up! I seen the whole thing change! Same ones in my face got a different-ass name! Ten toes down, I ain't bendin' for a thing! Westside Gripp, let the whole damn pocket bang! Switch up! Switch up! Who you really ridin' with? Talkin' like a boss, but you never did shit! I was in the storm, had to learn how to swim! Now the whole room jump when the Go-Go kick in! [VERSE 1: GRITTY WEST COAST FLOW] I came from the cold with a code and a plan, Built my own lane, never waited on a hand. Everybody had advice, nobody had a grand, Now the numbers look different, wanna call me the man. I was down in the dirt with the dust on my shoes, Had a head full of dreams and a whole lot to lose. They was quick with the talk, I was quick with the moves, Now I'm back with a vengeance, got nothin' to prove. Same face, new mask, whole different frame, Big talk, small walk, can't stand in the rain. I don't beg for a seat, let the proof speak, Westside in my blood, DC in my feet! [GO-GO POCKET BREAK] Hold up! Bring that pocket back! Who stayed down? Who kept it real? Who switched sides? I KNOW THE DEAL! Westside! DC! Let that bass line roll! Scars in my story, got fire in my soul! [VERSE 2: DOUBLE-TIME] I was grindin' and writin', survivin', devisin' a way out the cycle, They was smilin' and lyin', disguisin' envy behind every title. I kept it a hundred, no frontin', no stuntin', my vision is vital, Tightened the circle, cut off the fake, now my aim is recital! Switch in the tone when the money get shown, Everybody your brother when you sittin' on thrones. When your phone go dead and you fightin' alone, That's when you find who's solid to the bone. No handouts, no shortcuts, I paid my dues, Took losses, got smarter, adjusted my moves. Westside mentality, got nothin' to lose, DC Go-Go crankin', shake up the room! [HOOK] Switch up! Switch up! I seen the whole thing change! Same ones in my face got a different-ass name! Ten toes down, I ain't bendin' for a thing! Westside Gripp, let the whole damn pocket bang! [VERSE 3: CADENCE SWITCHES] I remember them days when the fridge got low, Had to stretch one plate, make the whole thing go. Now the same ones watchin' wanna act brand-new, Slide in the picture like they came through. I ain't bitter, I'm better, my vision got clearer, My circle got smaller, my purpose got bigger. When the road got rough, I was still in the mirror, Told myself keep pushin', the destination get nearer. Westside forever, I stand on the code, No fake handshakes when the pressure get bold. DC in the rhythm, let the whole thing explode, Gripp on the mic, got the pocket controlled! [FINAL CRANK] If you switched up, stay over there! If you stayed solid, put your hands in the air! Westside! DC! Let me hear that crank! Ten toes down, I ain't never gon' change! Switch up! Switch up! I seen the whole thing change! Westside Gripp! Remember the name! [OUTRO: SPOKEN] Funny how loyalty get quiet when the struggle get loud. I ain't mad at nobody. I just learned. Westside to DC. Ten toes down. No switchin'. GRIPP!
