Eight years ago a friend of mine
Reflecting on the past, narrating a violent encounter, and expressing the challenges of street life in Compton.
Asked me to say some gangsta rhymes
-So I said this rhyme I'm about to say
-I grabbed the blunt and then it went this way
-Eiht bucked a nigga down to the ground
-And everybody heard about the Compton sound
-Criminals to drug - dealers grouped with skan'less hoes
-To the baby kids making the hood grow
-Can you feel me? Gotta make my pay!
-To the niggas that want to kill me: I don't play!
-Walk this way, no foul play I'm N 2 deep
-One times make a nigga want to play for keeps
-Sometimes makes me want to holler
-How your homies from the same game want to tame you for your dollar?
-Nuthin' to lose, I choose to get a rep
-Step, yep nigga, Compton 4 death, hit me
-Compton 4 death...
Reiteration of loyalty to Compton and determination.
Got a thousand for you bitches tryin' to handle this
Asserting dominance, warning against betrayal, and highlighting the dangers of the streets.
Representin' Eazy E's Compton city G's
-My buckshots put holes in your truck windows
-Another casket closed as the church choir blows
-Bitches gon' set you up on a fast trap
-Niggaz gon' pull up to pull a fast cap
-Gotta get your - mean green to spend
-Gotta get your mean green and blow weed my friend
-To the Westside connect with these gangsta threats
-Commence to represent them Compton streets
-My 44 mag slugs guaranteed to fly (boom boom)
-The murder I wrote with intent to die
-To the pen cause I'ma do you in for the killin'
-Straight to hell and back, big black mack
