[00:00.00]Finally out the mother****in'
[00:01.83]CPTOff to  other cities and shit, no longer just an underground hit
[00:06.63]Moving thangs, a local ****er made good
[00:09.03]And made a name off of making tapes for ****az in the hood
[00:11.61]And now, let me tell a little story
[00:14.13]About the places that
[00:15.09]I been to and the shit that
[00:16.20]I been through
[00:16.92]Like fightin' and shootouts and bangin' and shit
[00:19.50]All because  a ****er made a hit, check it
[00:22.11]Nineteen ninety one, it was double or nothin' that a ****er would hit
[00:25.62]Then we broke out with the fonky shit
[00:27.45]About ****ers and niggaz  and gettin' drunken off that bud
[00:30.42]I was doing the shit they hadn't heard of
[00:32.46]But foolish was
[00:33.18]I to think that it wasn't no other cities like this
[00:35.97]And that they didn't like this
[00:37.20]That Compton was the home of a foot in yo ass, where you got blast
[00:40.53]And now that's just a thing of the past
[00:42.36]Let me tell ya why firsthand, we did a show up in
[00:44.88]OaklandAnd ****az  was kickin' up sand, to them bangin' ain't nothin' new
[00:48.63]And slangin' ain't nothin' new
[00:49.95]And for every ****er we done shot they done shot two
[00:52.44]Straight through and on since the sixties before
[00:54.72]I was born
[00:55.74]Families of young niggaz  mourn
[00:57.42]So I'm just letting you know
[00:59.07]That if ya plan to take a trip to the bay  keep your hand on the clip
[01:02.31]Because Oakland(It's jus lyke Compton)
[01:06.18]Yeah, I'm telling y'all
[01:07.80]Oakland(It's jus lyke Compton for y'all)
[01:11.88]Moving on to
[01:12.69]St. Louis, where the country is ****ed
[01:14.97]With gold teeth ain't hey mouth, but they still know what's up
[01:17.61]Where it's hot as a mother****er, hot enough to make ya cuss
[01:20.94]That's why
[01:21.33]I kept my ass on the bus
[01:22.86]But later on, when it cooled off we came down
[01:25.20]And met a couple of friends, who put us up on the
[01:27.27]St. Louis cap
[01:28.26]The Smith
[01:28.65]Center, with
[01:29.40]Big Bob, Little
[01:30.27]Steve, Tojo,
[01:31.23]Biss and Rich
[01:32.16]And a couple of ****ers
[01:33.45]Then they took us to a man named
[01:34.92]Gus in a store
[01:35.94]He put me down with a herringbone  and shoes galore
[01:38.70]That's when
[01:39.09]I started thinking that this wasn't like home
[01:41.22]But then they had to prove me wrong'
[01:43.11]Cuz later that night after we did the show
[01:45.42]We went back to the after set, and wouldn't ya know
[01:47.91]Yeah, Bloods and
[01:48.87]Crips start scrapping and shootin' in
[01:50.61]Missouri?Damn, how could this happen?
[01:52.74]Now St. Louis(It's jus lyke Compton)
[01:56.91]Yeah y'all,
[01:58.17]St. Louis(It's jus lyke Compton for y'all)
[02:02.97]I don't think they know, they too crazy for their own good
[02:06.00]They need to stop watchin' that
[02:07.35]Colors  and
[02:08.07]Boyz in the
[02:08.55]HoodToo busy claiming
[02:10.05]Sixties, tryin' to be raw
[02:11.67]And never ever seen the
[02:12.87]ShawBut now, back to the story that
[02:14.91]I'm tellin'
[02:15.48]We packed up the tour bus one more time and started bailin'
[02:18.72]When we arrived
[02:19.68]I saw red and blue sweat suits
[02:21.12]When I'm thinkin' 'bout horse donkey  and cowboy boots
[02:24.06]I guess Texas ain't no different from the rest
[02:26.13]And San Antonio, was just waitin' to put us to the test
[02:29.28]And before it was over the shit got deep
[02:31.71]A ****er got shot in the face, and was dead in the street
[02:34.29]Then they came in the club thinkin' of scrappin'
[02:36.51]Little did they know that we was packin'
[02:38.67]Yeah, we was puttin' 'em down and squaring the rest, shit
[02:41.19]I even had to wear the bulletproof vest
[02:43.23]Now San Antonio(It's jus lyke Compton)
[02:47.97]Yeah, San
[02:48.96]Antonio(It's jus lyke Compton for y'all)
[02:53.73]After  a month on the road
[02:55.11]We came home  and
[02:56.01]I can safely say
[02:57.30]That L.A. is a much better place to stay
[02:59.82]How could a bunch of ****az in a town like this
[03:02.16]Have such a big influence on ****az  so far away?
[03:04.62]But still my story ain't over 'cuz
[03:06.15]I got one more to tell
[03:07.35]And the people of
[03:08.07]Colorado, they know it well
[03:09.84]It was all in the news  and if you don't remember
[03:12.24]I had this show
[03:12.90]I did in Denver
[03:14.25]With a punk ass promoter in a bunk ass skating rink
[03:17.07]****ers was loving it, but ****az  was shovin' and shit
[03:19.92]To the front of the stage to throw their gang signs
[03:22.68]But I'm getting paid so
[03:23.88]I didn't pay it no mind
[03:25.02]Then I poured out my brew onto their face and chest
[03:27.60]Then they start throwin' soda, and ****ing up my guests
[03:29.94]When it was over two ****az needed stitches
[03:32.01]Got cracked in they jaw for being punk ass ****ers
[03:34.59]Now Denver(It's jus lyke Compton)
