Raised In Compton - CMW - Compton's Most Wanted

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 can’t 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

[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 ain’t 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 won’t 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

Geah, y’knowutumsayin?

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

MC Eiht, and I’m outta here
