Lyrics

I never thought that you would be the one

I never expected you to be the one.

My homies said fuck all the bitches and just have fun

My friends advise me to ignore relationships and just enjoy life.

But your body the Impala 69 with the trunk

Your body is compared to a classic Impala 69 car with an attractive trunk.

Putting tree up in my mind and

Using marijuana (tree) to stimulate thoughts.

Aaliyah on the subs

Aaliyah, possibly referencing the late singer, is on the subs (subwoofers), enhancing the musical experience.

My Nana told me never catch a case

Grandmother advises against getting into legal trouble.

Careful mijo see you got violence up in your veins

A warning about violence in one's nature.

You got mentirosos Tios doing hood shit different ways

False uncles (mentirosos Tios) engage in questionable activities in the neighborhood.

But you got to just focus and get the fuck up out this place

Encouragement to focus and leave the current challenging environment.


Meet me down in East Los yeah

Repeated invitations to meet in East Los.

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

While we outside

Transition to an outdoor setting.

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Repetitive expressive sounds.

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

-

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

-

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

-

Got me singing like I'm Ritchie Valens

Comparing oneself to Ritchie Valens, possibly indicating a carefree or romantic attitude.

Don't call me sprung she's a drug I'm trying to keep some balance

Resisting being overly infatuated, striving for balance.

Come get me fucked up

Being influenced or intoxicated.

Watch the ghetto birds in the air now we dip

Observing police helicopters in the neighborhood and leaving quickly.

If you want a ride well we can take a trip

Offering a ride and the possibility of a journey.

Cruising to the 60 605 to the 10

Cruising through specific highways and feeling the atmosphere.

Moving through the city feel the vibes in the wind

-

Welcome to the west side where the violence begins

Introduction to the west side, acknowledging the prevalence of violence.

Where we pray for better days and we ride to this shit

Expressing a desire for improvement and solidarity through challenging times.


I never thought that you would be the one

Repetition of the earlier verses.

My homies said fuck all the bitches and just have fun

-

But your body the Impala 69 with the trunk

-

Putting tree up in my mind and

-

Aaliyah on the subs

-

I never thought that you would be the one

-

My homies said fuck all the bitches and just have fun

-

But your body the Impala 69 with the trunk

-

Putting tree up in my mind and

-

Aaliyah on the subs

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

Repeated invitations to meet in East Los.

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

While we outside

Repetition of being outside.

While we outside

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

Repeated invitations to meet in East Los.

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

Meet me down in East Los yeah

-

While we outside

Repetition of being outside.
