jus lyke compton

Singer:dj quik

finally out the motherfuckin c-p-t

off to other cities and shit

no longer just an underground hit

movin thangs. a local nigga made good

and made a name off of making tapes for niggaz in the hood

and now

let me tell a little story

about the places that i been to and the shit that i been through

like fightin and shootouts and bangin and shit

all because a nigga made a hit

check it

nineteen-ninety-one

it was double or nothin that a nigga would hit

then we broke out with the fonky shit

about bitches and niggaz and gettin drunken off that bud

i was doing the shit they hadn't heard of

but foolish was i to think that it wasn't no other cities like this

and that they didn't like this

that compton was the home of a foot in yo ass

where you got blast

and now that's just a thing of the past

let me tell ya why firsthand

we did a show up in oak-land

and niggaz was kickin up sand

to them bangin ain't nothin new

and slangin ain't nothin new

and for every nigga we done shot

they done shot two

straight through and on since the sixties before i was born

families of young niggaz mourn

so i'm just letting you know

that if ya plan to take a trip to the bay

keep your hand on the clip

becaue oakland. yeah

i'm telling y'all oakland. moving on to st. louis

where thecountry is fucked

with gold teeth int hey mouth

but they still know what's up

where it's hot as a motherfucker

hot enough to make ya cuss

that's why i kept my ass on the bus

but later on

whenit cooled off we came down

and met a couple of friends

who put us up on the st. louis cap

the smith center

with big bob

little steve

tojo

biss and rich

and a couple of bitches

then they took us to a man named gus in a store

he put me down with a herringbone and shoes galore

that's when i started thinking that this wasn't like home

but then they had to prove me wrong

cuz later that night after we did the show

we went back to the afterset

and wouldn't ya know

yeah

bloods and crips start scrappin and shootin -- in missouri?

damn

how could this happen?

now st. louis. yeah y'all

st. louis. i don't think they know

they too crazy for their own good

they need to stop watchin that colors" and "boyz in the hood"
