Compton Life

Uh, oh, y'all know what it is
Uh, it's that Compton ish (Woo)

Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights (yeah)
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice (Right)
Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights (Ad lib)
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice (Let's go)

I'm back at it again
My city back at it with 'em
Back against the wall, K Dot, they tryna pin
But they can fuck with that pen
The shit I write is brighter than blue gems
Uh you better stay in that gym
Exercise your mind till it's strong
Enough to fuck with mine
Stick to my roots like Black Thought and 'em
I'm black with thoughts of Einstein
One word describing him: genius
What you know about the city I live in?
With the souls of the dead is livin'?
You don't know about our living conditions
We live righteously
We can give a fuck about your opinion
But it's more than just weed and women
Gangsters, husslers, bullet collisions
Players, pimps, who can envision?
The place where I reside
Where Eazy was pitchin'
Dre was 6'4 lifting, NWA had mention
Quik had the turn tables mixin'
The first ones to say fuck the system
I'm tryin' to tell you about

Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, yeah, homie
That's Compton life
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice, homie that's Compton life
Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, homie that's Compton life
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice, homie that's Compton life (yeah)

His own street like concrete
Would best describe fit his gutter but see
I'm what's underneath
A young gun but not like
Your young Chris and Neef
I'm from the land of organized crime
Disorderly peace
‘Cause nowadays niggas hustle when
They order their piece
And worship their gun the same
As their religious beliefs
The Compton shares can't forget the police
'Cause in the hood tellin' pigs no more
It be the mark of the beast
And their main aim is just
The talk of the streets
But when you see 'em please
Be quick on your feet
That they go, watch em!
Had you for road, kill just like a possum
You could contain 'em
But there's no way that you can stop 'em
Niggas plant their seeds to be gangstas
Hoping one day they blossom
The same time, hope the system don't lock 'em
'Cause Compton raised niggas and bitches
We barely got 'em
Unless you talk about the one
With the attitude problem
From Rosecrans to Central, Compton Centennial
We back, that's for my people, it's official

Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, homie that's Compton life
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice, homie that's Compton life
Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, homie that's Compton life

Let's bring it back
Back to the streets, of course
Yeah, uh, Compton, right, uh homie, homie

I don't know if he new around here
But it's good to know somebody
If you're new around here
'Cause it ain't too safe for
You to cruise around here
Niggas stick to your ass
Like glue around here
Take New Jersey and fit it shit
Whatever you don't care
It ain't no magic trick if
They make your shit disappear
The outcome is severe
And some of this casket will last a day
But I'm amazed 'cause the young
Boy been here for years
I've seen niggas shed blood blood tears
Hope you not try to plan for
The future niggas will mute you
Had your door in the morning
Wake you up like roosters
Clock you in like Tap Judah
A nightmare on my street
It's Fred Krueger where I live
Minus the actress and the producers
Even adolenscence will shoot you
Over that paper
We get +Vapors+ like Biz Markie
But still I'm used to
From Rose crest to central
Compton's Anthemia
We back, that's for my people, it's official

Chevy lights, women you like
Husslin' nights, homie that's Compton life
Rollin' dice, gangsta rights
Hood advice, homie that's Compton life

Uh, right, we back uh, I see, I see

Why Compton's me, nigga haha
It's for my people loneliness
