## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Intro]

Ohio

Tennessee

California

Endlessly

Right on, right on

Right on, right on

[Verse 1]

Laid back, villain on the smooth tip

All things gravy, greatest fear to let the groove slip

Always tell the masses that it's never gon' stop

'Cause you never gon' do shit

Magnify justice over long lost blues riffs

Mop up, sop up the tears for fears with a Q-tip

They proceeds to poke out they eyes with a toothpick

Remember when Larenz Tate beat Terrence with the pool stick

Or when Caine pistol whipped Chauncy and that fool snitched

Sent the tape to Bill Duke, would've went to jail

If he wouldn't have got killed in that drive-by by the dude he kicked

'Cause he was like, "It ain't mine"

And she was like, "You the only guy that I do it with"

'Member when 'Pac and Q start fightin' over Steel house

They broke a vase, Steel screamed, Raheem told 'em to chill out

The Jheri curl Blood that bumped Ricky eating chips

The same guy they was looking for when Ice Cube stopped to let Cuba out the whip

And wan' it sad how Loco had the habit?

And wan' it funny when they caught T-Bone, dancing with that rabbit

Didn't Rocket have the same gun that the old man shot OG Bobby Johnson's son in the back with

Or do I got it backwards

And Bobby Johnson was the one that put his fist up to the glass

And Caine put his fist up and dapped it

Chicago and Regina had sex inside the mail truck

They left his ass, he reached down to get his hairbrush

And Tré lied to Furious, sitting down getting his hair cut

[Chorus]

Yeah, do you remember these

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese, huh

Do you remember these

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese

[Verse 2]

Caine told him as he jacked him at the drive-thru

A hundred bucks will tell who Radames put the knife to

Another hundred for the cop who chased New Jersey Drive crew

The group who took Ricky ball, Crip or Piru

Kicked Doughboy, told him he could buy a hundred balls

Little Bobby used his bed to iron out his overalls

Who knew in a few he would have a gun aimed

And Caine'd had a n\*\*\*a's Dayton's skatin' on his Mustang

'Member when the whole crowd stopped and got tense

Then they cheered when Steel put his hand up on the fence

Then when Gee Money first got married to the cocaine

And Chris Tucker OD'ed there watching *Soul Train*

Cam'ron shot him in the car and took his gold chain

Nino was free till he met up with that old man

Ice-T was there and he oversaw the whole thing

Mello lost his legs just to get up out the dope game

Why he throw his gun into the river, though?

Just to hit the roof to get the juice and let Bishop go

Show Hodges love, but the Pac Man day came

'Specially after sprayed the little ese with the spray paint

'Member when Bobby took off his tear

And when Doughboy disappeared

After his brother died and he said nobody cared

I still do, after all these years

Because he should've played ball

Ricky ain't deserve none of that at all

These are just a illustration

Of a few scenes that helped raise a generation

[Chorus]

Yeah, do you remember these

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese, huh

Do you remember these

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese

Double burger with cheese

[Outro: *Menace II Society* excerpt]
