Crooked I - Still Tha Row Lyrics






[Intro: Virginya Slim & Crooked I]
Yeah..
Death Row, baby
(Death Row!)
Heavy hitters
Uh-uh
(Yeah)
(Why am I?)
Crooked I
(Yeah)
(Who are you, though?)
Virginia Slim, baby
(Let 'em know somethin')
That we ain't going nowhere
(Nowhere, niggas)
Second dynasty here
(Yeah)
Play boy

[Crooked I]
Tell me what's all the fuss, one hundred seventy five police
wastin' all of the taxpayer's dollars just to holler at us?
Mad cause the Benzes is hot, the Impalas is plush
Nobody bothered me when I used to hop on the bus
Now the cops follow me, the life of Dominick's rough
They wanna throw a young don in some cuffs
But it's... (still Death Row)
I let 'em know, if they didn't remember
I know, some of you suckas got hidden agendas
But I'm, sick of pretenders
Niggas'd rather stick their dick in a blender
Than to go against the sickest contender
Get your ridiculous click to surrender
My game code is winter when it ends in December
Scoop your chicken and Bend Hurr... tender
You know how young niggas roll
Send ya hoe... to your husband, walking pigeon-toed
The West Coast is ours
Still them other niggas old
Over fifty million sold

[Chorus: Virginya Slim & Crooked I]
It's still Tha Row... ugh
(Baby, we still stackin' money up)
And what we gon' do?
(Lady, we still don't give a fuck)
And how we roll y'all?
(Baby, we still in the club beat)
We represent, what?
(We still represent the streets)
It's still Tha Row
(Baby, we still spendin' star bucks)
And what we throwin' up?
(Sweetheart, we still throw them balls up)
And who we beefin' with?
(We still beefin' with the po-po)
And what they say we is?
(We still ghetto)
It's still Tha Row

[Crooked I]
Some of you gangsta rappers out there poppin' seventy pills
Man, you bangin' on wax cats'll never be real (Marks!)
This ghetto celebrity still do whatever he feel
Look at my billboard, I took a shit on Beverly Hills
That's 'cause it's all about Crooked (Yeah, it's all about green)
Around y'all (We stand tall) As who? (Yao Ming) Y'all mean?
And Crooked keep a heat compartment
I don't speak to rappers that work for the Police Department
Nine milli, I eat your heart with
I seek the target, reach in garments, squeeze diesel vomits
I don't need y'all to start me
Ten million albums sold? Maybe if I look like Paul McCartney
But I'm dark as dark Bacardi, dark as Marcus Garvey
Sparks cigars that start the party... ugh!
And we ain't lettin' suckers in
I got a lovely deal and I own my publishing'

[Chorus]

[Outro 1: Virginya Slim & Crooked I]
Yeah, Red Bone... Queen, Virginia Slim, Miss Gail Gotti
(This for my gangsters)
Representin'... heavy hitters
Death Row, baby
We done slept too long
(And for my hustlers)
Y'all done had y'all time
Now we back
Ready to keep it gangster
(And for my riders)
Yeah... the real ones
The ride or die ones
Come on..

[Crooked I]
And I heard every single word that you say at your show
But when we at the awards ceremony, they have to go
S.W.A.T. Team stormin' the label, one of 'em's even pointing a A.K. at the door
Another day at Tha Row
They say we only out to split wigs
What about the hospital trips givin' gifts to sick kids?
Oh, I see, you want us ALL doing six bids
It's okay, we still big cars and sick cribs, the Death Row way
No way... Crooked came into this game to lose
I'm anxious, I'ma change the rules
I'm dangerous, I'm a gangster Langston Hughes
I'm a mistress that you can't confuse
I'm from Tha Row, so if I piss it'll make the news

[Chorus]

[Outro 2: Crooked I]
Yeah... I know you're lovin' that
Turn on your T.V.... open up a newspaper or somethin'
Read all about us... them ghetto cats
Tryin' to shove us out the game, but they can't
There's a ghetto in every city in America
And I'm from the Big West
Second dynasty... Death Row is back!
Yeah!
All you mutts get off our nuts
Chuuuch!
Ah, ha...!
Ha, ha, ha, ha.

  5. g.... v....

    STILL THA ROW YO 2019

  6. C.... E....

    Big Suge

  7. N.... ....

    Dam man tha Row would of been on top. If suge knight stay out of trouble. CROOKED I ,Eastwood,Left Eye, kurupt and the realest. Enough to start a super team

  8. b.... d....

    crooked I sucked and I always felt he sucked far as making songs
    he can rap but everything else he sucked at
    He could never make A hit
    Suge shouldn't have signed him

    till this day he sucks

  9. E.... ....

    I had a little hope Tha Row will come back when this came out

  10. T.... L....

    2016 and I will still listen to this #classic

  11. s.... ....

    @kwondo296 dumbass post 4 years later

  12. J.... S....

    I use to love this still do

  13. k.... ....

    No, He signed after 2Pac's death and Snoop's leave. Daz came to him and ask about Death Row. After this he get offer from Dr. Dre to join Aftermatch, but Suge at start gave him contract and money, so he choose Death Row.

  14. J.... ....

    yo that's the same thing I've been saying, this song bump too hard.

  15. T.... W....

    spider loc in the vid

  16. j.... ....

    rhyme scheme is insane.

  17. C.... G....

    Crooked was on DR from 99-04

  18. h.... ....

    i still look back on that time in remorse for crooked because that song shouldve been the biggest fuckin anthem in hip hop, if only it had a major push behind it, crooked busted his ass pushing and promoting that song but an independent artist can only do so much, i knew though from the first listen that that song was a hit and something truly special, i hope he re releases it one day and it gets the recognition it so so dearly deserves

    h.... ....

    I fully agree with you bro! Crooked tried to do thangs for Tha Row, but it's Big Suge that had all the trouble.. Hardly doubt the song will ever be re-released due to copyright constraints..

  19. h.... ....

    i remember in 06 - 07 when i was so looking forward to the b.o.s.s. album, i remember vividly him putting out that first single to it - the N.W.A. single, i remember blasting it nonstop and on repeat from the first day it came out, that was gonna be the banger that catapulted crooked i, but the usual label politics kinda fucked that up, he was gonna have a remix with a shitload of rappers on it too, its sad because when he talks about the single you can see hes down cuz that song didnt blow up

  20. h.... ....

    its crazy how many entire albums crooked has in the vaults unreleased, i remember when he went on sway and king techs show and said he had like 25 albums in the vaults lol, just looking back on all the albums he was supposed to put out: untouchable, say hi to the bad guy, mamas boy got a loaded gun, b.o.s.s., million dollar story, etc.

  21. h.... ....

    crooked i was signed to noo trybe and virgin in the 90s, from 2000-2004 he was signed to death row, his death row contract expired 2003 but he sticked around out of loyalty, 2004 - present hes been independent

  22. P.... J....

    damn he flows just like xzibit

  23. P.... L....

    Can someone tell me what this mixtape this is off of?

  24. G.... ....

    this is shit version, OG ftw

  25. m.... ....

    Search my channel for the "Still Tha Row (OG version)" Much better.

  26. d.... ....

    @JVO2004 true story man . Ssutt x2 ... COB GREECE
    been bumping Crooked since First hiphop weeklies ...

  27. u.... ....

    dame so many sexy girls in this video

  28. s.... o....

  29. D.... ....

    "I heard every single word, that ya say at ya show - but when we at the awards ceremony, they have to go! Swat Teams stormin the label, one of'em even pointin a A.K. at the doe, another day at The Row"

  30. i.... ....

    @TheRegimeMobsta Nope, from 99 to 04.... but yea this is off that Dysfunktional Family Soundtrack...

  31. T.... I....

    When a rapper acknowledges he is a rapper BECAUSE of his fans. He IS a rapper.

  32. A.... ....

    does somebody know the beat in the beginning?

  33. R.... H....

    a little help where can i get this song?? thanks to anyone who can tell me what album or mixtape

  34. V.... ....

    SOO UNDERRATED

  35. T.... ....

    Man, Crooked I was a waste of fucking MAD talent. Dude got sick skills. It's just a damn shame is never shopped a good record deal...ESPECIALLY w/Suge's "CROOKED" ass. No pun intended. If Crooked I was on Deathrow back in the day w/Snoop, Pac and Dre...he would've done some MAJOR damage!!

    T.... ....

    Crooked is STILL out here dropping albums and mixtapes. 2 SLAUGHTERHOUSE albums on Shady Records and alot more through his own ventures......

  36. P.... ....

    @Emperorlightning
    I know man I just put up the post in the official forums.

  37. h.... ....

    @hiphopdisciple555 are you even aware of the magnitude of which you embarrassed yourself, i just got through saying a million times that crooked i is not just best on the west but among the best of all time, you are so indescribably stupid

  38. h.... ....

    @NicoMarcel17 are you retarded, read my little 3 comments and apply some reading comprehension so you can prevent yourself from writing dumbass comments that show what a dumbass you are, "shut up crooked is one of the best?".....i just said that you idiot. learn to read dumbass

  39. f.... ....

    3:17 haha love that booya boogie

  40. n.... g....

    Ha crooked I ridin da Houston Metro bus

  41. h.... ....

    its just so upsetting and repulsive whenever i read some asshole journalist writing a article on a shitty website calling crooked i one of the best on the west coast, or some ignorant blogger on the forums for those sites, do your homework check the history and show some respect and cap tipping

  42. h.... ....

    people need to seriously stop calling crooked i the best west coast rapper, hes more than earned much more than that, if you call him one of the best or the best, be more accurate by saying the best all around, not just a small piece of the map like the west coast, show a little more respect than that, this guy is beyond the best in the west, hes one of the best if not the best of all the globe and of all time, hes more than earned that title and accolade

  43. h.... ....

    this song is so good and such a classic, its just so unfortunate and too bad that it was banned from video rotation on mtv etc. just because it was coming from death row, its such a sad case but they only robbed n did a major disservice to all the hip hop fans both die hard n casual by not showing this video on their channels, crooked has worked his ass off for 2 decades n i hope his million dollar story album sells like crazy, a true fuck you to all the obstacles and perfect revenge of success

  44. B.... P....

    Hard ass song, but what do you expect, it's from Crook.

    Original, but "OG-version" exists, its beat is still weak, but it doesn't give it this failed-club-song sound.

  68. L.... N....

    @needmass123

    I was going to respond, but apparently you're just a hater with nothing better to do than post on youtube with lame insults.

    i luv that

  91. a.... b....

    man how old is this vid n by tha way crooked has had his time but game is da king of west coast now

  92. o.... ....

    game is the west coast figure now because he's the only young nigga who got a buzz.... and thats becuase of 50.

  93. J.... J....

    probably.. but if game ain't shit, then who is the shit ? hope u won't tell me 50..

    when u talk record sales, who sells more records on the west coast ? isn't it game ? that's why he's the west coast figure..

  94. J.... J....

    eazy e put the west coast on the map first.. then death row came.. yes when u talked about the west coast, u had to talk about death row no doubt..

    but death row will never be the figure of the west coast..

    i think game is the west coast figure now ..

  95. J.... J....

    why he dissin' them bangin' on wax cats ?

  96. M.... ....

    Spider Loc gives the Westcoast a bad name first he on Deathrow dissing Snoop now he on G Unit dissing Game and his album still aint out

  97. M.... ....

    there was another of this song with a different beat which was better

  98. a.... ....

    westcoast aint fell off. it just that no one gives new westcoast artists any deals right now. snoop dogg talks about it in this months XXL. says that the reason he isnt the president of a company like jay z or ludacris is cos people wanna get paid off him so they get HIM on THEIR songs. if he was a president HE would get paid, not them.

  99. a.... ....

    they made the westcoast. and most of'em are betta than todays mainstream artists. only rappers i even know of whoo come from philly are cassidy and gillie and gillies a faggit. westcoast popularised the music that rappers from the east, north and south are getting paid for today.

  100. a.... ....

    spider locs a faggit if u ask me man. just another rapper 50 signed to try n take games place.
