Lyrics

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

I was just a young boy
Raised out in carson
Ambler 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
Brandy went to bankcroft
I was at the chronic spot
Then lil' rooster
And my homey shantwain-
And the homey bb
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 started happening
All so quick- fast
I got on a tv show
And started to makin 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 theo
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...}

That's where I grew up at
So all I do is that
So now I'm giving back
Put my city on the map
That's where I grew up at
First time I held a strap
So now 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}
Ez, 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's dead and gone
Or 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}
Cen... {oh yea, yea} ter... view
{Haha and uh- I did a little dirt in}
Cen {oh}...ter...{ooh}view
Cen...ter...view
Cen...ter...view
Cen...ter...view

That's where I grew up at
So all I do is that
So now I'm giving back
Put my city on the map
That's where I grew up
First time I held a strap
So now I'm giving back
Put my city on the map

East side up
West coast
I'm out
