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 exactly where it's at

'Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack, Compton

Yeah, that's the name of my 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 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

Born and raised

Born and raised

Born and raised, born and raised

Born and raised in Compton

Born and raised

Born and raised

Born

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 ****

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 **** ***** down

So here's some bass in your face, mutha****a 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 gonna never be the same

'Cause a ***** 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 ***** that's feelin' no pain

Sometimes I have to wear the bullet-proof vest

Because I got the CPT sign written across my chest

A funky **** brother never ceases to impress

My name is DJ Quik, so you can **** 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

Born and raised

Born and raised

Born and raised, born and raised

Born and raised in Compton

Born and raised

Born and raised

Born born born and raised in Compton

Compton, Compton, Compton, Compton

Compton, Compton, Compton, Compton, Compton

Yo, check this **** out, right about now

I'd like to send a shout out to my buddy Teddy Bear

What's up *****? What's up KK? My buddy D

We got AMG most definitely in the house

What's up pretty Greg and big baby Brian cold chillin'

Talkin' about the Armstrong pack, straight got my mutha****in' back

To my buddy, No Way, what's up, fool

Roche is in the house, my buddy Donzelli

You know what's happenin', fool, what's up Itch?

And Tony Lang is chillin', to my ***** gangsta Wayne

And my engineer Joe gettin' busy on the flo'

And last but not least I'd like to thank Shabby Blue

And we out, peace
