Compton is the place that I touched down.
|
I opened my eyes to realise I was dark brown.
|
And right there in the ghetto that color costs.
|
Brothers smothered by the streets meaning we're lost.
|
I grew up in a place where it was go for your own.
|
Don't get caught after dark roaming the danger zone.
|
Cause it was hell at the age of 12
|
as my Compton black brothers were in and out of jail.
|
Years went on, I played with the school crap.
|
Made it half way, it didn't pay, so I said fuck that.
|
Cause right then it was the cash I was after.
|
The street had a beat so I was caught up in the rapture.
|
It said sell, sell, sell.
|
And after that it was jail, jail, jail.
|
I also kept a nine as my toy.
|
I was only 15, so boys will be boys.
|
So by 16 I was hip to the groove
|
and fucking any stupid black bitch that move.
|
And on top of that I was down for the hood.
|
If you from Compton you know that the hood is where its good.
|
So load up the gatts and its down the avenue.
|
I'm kinda fucked up so I guess I'll kill a few
|
punk niggas trying to scheme on my tip.
|
Geah I'm selling the cavi and I'm checkin a grip.
|
But now the high rolling days been cancelled.
|
Damn, they kidnapped my homie for ransom.
|
But thats an everyday thing thats what the news play.
|
One times cant do shit so why the fuck do you pay.
|
And this goes out to all those niggas that know whats popping.
|
fool thats when your raised in Compton.
|
|
Scratching:
|
[he would grow up to be nothing but a hoodlum..
|
Either in jail, or someone would shoot him.]X2
|
|
Drug wars, you got the pushers and the pimps
|
and to make things worse you got the bustas and the wimps.
|
Gank bitches trying to scheme on my money.
|
Sucker punks jack, now aint that funny.
|
But I'm a young nigga, with a respectable rep.
|
But my brothers gangbanging, I guess I'll follow in his footsteps.
|
Claiming a set, jacking a brother,
|
beating a bitch, you diss the hood I'll put you 6 feet under.
|
Who gives a fuck if its wrong, no time for thinking.
|
Just think of the bud and the 8-ball drinking.
|
So now its time to show my loyalty.
|
Shoot up my enemy territory.
|
And my brothers got my back they wont trip.
|
And I'm in it to win it so I won't slip.
|
It was like we had a gangbang rally.
|
A thousand mutherfucking thuggish niggas in the alley.
|
So while we waited to peel a cap
|
the suckers crept, damn, shot me in the back.
|
so now I bail in a wheelchair, no more stomping.
|
Raised in Compton.
|
|

|
MC Eiht and Compton's Most Wanted putting niggas to rest.
|
Side by each, y'knowutumsaying? Putting em down.
|
Cause Compton is the place with the base
|
and if you don't like it take 2 to the face.
|
