Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back in the day when we used to kick it
Little homie on the block, already had that spirit
Saw you come up from the start, yeah I witnessed
That California style, born with that gifted
Way you moved through the hood with such grace
Always kept it real, never out of place
Remember them summer days in '93
You was different, everyone could see
[Chorus]
West Coast royalty (yeah)
That's what you been to me (since day one)
Ain't gotta say too much (nah)
'Cause they all know what's up (that's right)
[Verse 2]
Now look at you shinin', coast to coast
Of all the ones I know, you do the most
Remember when you first hit the talent show?
Had the whole crowd moved, that's when we all knew
Went from playground games to running thangs
Success in your blood, it runs in your veins
Every year you level up, no doubt
Got the whole crew proud, let me break it down
[Chorus]
West Coast royalty (yeah)
That's what you been to me (since day one)
Ain't gotta say too much (nah)
'Cause they all know what's up (that's right)
[Breakdown]
[Bass drops out]
Now every time I see you rise
Can't help but feel blessed inside
[Bass returns]
From the streets of LA to the big time stage
You stayed true through every page
Of your story, young queen
Living out your destiny
[Chorus]
West Coast royalty (yeah)
That's what you been to me (since day one)
Ain't gotta say too much (nah)
'Cause they all know what's up (one more time)
West Coast royalty (forever)
That's what you'll always be (you know it)
Ain't gotta say too much (no)
'Cause they all know what's up (Nicole)
