born and raised in compton

now everybody wants to know the truth about a brother named quik

i come from the school of the sly

wicked and the slick

a lotta people already know excatly where it's at

cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack

yeah

that's the name of the hometown

i'm goin down in the town where my name is all around

the suckers just be havin a fit

and that's a pity

but i ain't doin nothin but

see

my lyrics i'm doublin up and provin to suckers that i can throw

i'm passin a natural ten or four or six or eight before i go

yes

i'm definitely freestylin

all the while still profilin

never a trickster

dj quikster steals the show

so now that's how i'm livin

i do as i please

you see

a younger brother that's up on reality

cause everybody knows you have to be stompin

if you're born and raised in compton

now compton is the place where the homeboys chill

you see

but then i found that it wasn't no place for me

cause way back in the day somebody musta wanted me to quit

because they broke in my house and cold stole my shit

they musta thought that i was gonna play the punk role

just because my equipment got stole

but i ain't goin out like no sucker-ass clown

they found they couldn't keep a dope nigga down

so here's some bass in your face

muthafucka silly sucker-

ass clocker

now you're duckin

cause you can't stop a brother

like the quiksta

because i'm true to the game

you're lame

and things ain't gonn' never be the same

cause a nigga like the quik is takin over

i really don't think i should have to explain

it

oh yeah

i'm a dog

but my name ain't rover

and i'm the kinda nigga that's feelin no pain

sometimes i have to wear a bullet-proof vest

because i got the 'cpt' sign written across my chest

a funky dope brother never ceases to impress

my name is dj quik

so you can fuck the rest

i'm comin like this

and i'm comin directly

cause suckers get dain-bramaged if i'm doin damage quite effectively

rhymin is a battlezone

and suckers have no win

cause i'm a veteran from the c-o-m-p-t-o-n

kick it

hell muthafuckin yeah

funky dope for the nine-ace

dj quik is in the muthafuckin house
