Ray J Lyrics

15. Centerview

{Yeah, yeah} 
{Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah} 

I was just a young boy, 
Raised out in Carson, 
Ambla Elementary, 
Principal Dr. Larson, 
Me and my godbrotha, 
Tyrin Davis, 
walkin down the hallways, 
He got all the ladies. 
I was just a nappy head 
livin on the 9 block, 
'ready went to Bedcross, 
I was at the chronic spot. 
Did a lil' rooster 
and my homey shantwain- 
and the homey Big B 
put me on the game. 
The big homey solo 
told me not to bang. 
He told me don't put 
my career to a shame. 
But I did, anyway, 
and I got in trouble but 
I had the hookup on the hundred dolla double ups, 
My nigga E-dog... he had the flow, 
And when I snuck out my window, 
I used to go smoke up his endo. 
Oh 

Cen...ter...view 
{I grew up in the little town called} 
Cen... {oh yea} ter...view {oh, yes I did} 
{I did a little bit of dirt in} 
Cen...ter...{oh, yes I did} view 
{aww yes I did} 

My dad was always at Church 
working in his office, 
and my cousin Ryan got a 
scholarship to college. 
Everything start happening 
All so quick- fast 
I got on a TV show 
and started to make cash, 
My sister's on the radio 
Banging through the stereo, 
I remember when we used to go 
skate at Skate Depot, 
Damn those were the days, 
Things just ain't the same, 
And to my little homey D-O, 
You gotta be careful in this game. 

Cen...ter {oh yes you do}...view 
{Listen, I was raised in a little town called} 
Cen... {oh} ter... {yea} view {you see} 
{I did a little dirt in} 
Cen {in} ...ter...{in, in} view 
{in Centerview, ay ay ay...} 

Guess who I do it back 
So all I do is that 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 
That's why I do it back 
First time I held this track 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 

In Cen...ter...view 

Oh, I used to take the circuit bus 
To the Carson mall, 
To go buy cans of spray paint to 
hit up on the walls, 
I was young and dumb, 
I was livin' crazy, 
But thank God for my family, cuz 
man they really saved me, yeah, 
{Oh-oh, oh-oh 
Oh-oh, oh-oh} 
To everybody in my city 
that remembers good times, oh oh, 
{Oh-oh, oh-oh 
Oh-oh, oh-oh} 
I took a ride back to Carson 
Just to hug a few friends, oh oh, 
{Oh-oh, oh-oh 
Oh-oh, oh-oh} 
You see, I know I can get you chillin 
On the block around ten, Oh oh, 
{Oh-oh, oh-oh 
Oh-oh, oh-oh} 
Ay, And all the soldiers that didn't go 
Who are locked up in the pen 
Woah... 
In Centerview, Yeah, 
Woah... woah... 
Well homey, this one's for you. 

Cen...{you, you}ter...view 
{You see, I was raised in a little town called}

Guess who I do it back 
So all I do is that 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 
That's why I do it back 
First time I held this track 
So how I'm giving back, 
Put my city on the map 

East side up, 
West Coast, 
I'm out.
