Born and Raised In Compton - Radio Version

[00:00.03] Alright
[00:01.98] Now everybody wants to know the truth about a brother named Quik
[00:05.31] I come from the school of the sly, wicked and the slick
[00:07.96] A lot of people already know exactly where it's at
[00:10.25] 'Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack
[00:12.66] (Compton) yeah, that's the name of my hometown
[00:15.22] I'm throwing down in the town where my name is all around
[00:17.96] The suckers just be havin' a fit, and that's a pity
[00:20.43] But I ain't doing nothing but (claiming my city)
[00:22.82] See, my lyrics I'm doubling up and proving to suckers that I can throw 'em
[00:25.64] I'm passing a natural ten or four or six or eight before I go
[00:28.20] Yes, I'm definitely freestyling, all the while still profiling
[00:30.80] Never tricks, the DJ Quikster steals the show
[00:33.01] So, that's how I'm livin', I do as I please, you see
[00:36.52] A younger brother that's up on reality
[00:38.84] 'Cause everybody knows you have to be stomping
[00:41.50] If you're born and raised in Compton
[00:44.39] (Born and raised, b-b-b-)
[00:46.98] (Born and raised, b-b-b-)
[00:49.56] (Born and r-, born and r-, born and raised in Compton)
[00:54.81] (Born and raised, b-b-b-)
[00:57.53] (Born and raised)
[00:59.84] (Born-)
[01:02.76] (Where you from, fool?)
[01:04.29] (Compton)
[01:04.88] Now Compton is the place where the homeboys chill, you see
[01:08.31] But then I found that it wasn't no place for me
[01:10.79] 'Cause way back in the day somebody must of wanted me to quit
[01:13.67] Because they broke in my house and cold stole my shit
[01:16.25] They musta thought that I was gonna play the punk role
[01:19.10] Just because my equipment got stole
[01:21.19] But I ain't going out like no sucker-ass clown
[01:23.74] They found they couldn't keep a dope nigga down
[01:26.10] So here's some bass in your face, motherfucker silly sucker-
[01:28.97] Ass clucker, now you're duckin', 'cause you can't stop a brother
[01:31.59] Like the Quiksta, because I'm true to the game
[01:34.38] You're lame, and things ain't going never be the same
[01:36.99] 'Cause a nigga like the Quik is takin' over
[01:39.05] I really don't think I should have to explain it
[01:41.60] Oh, yeah, I'm a dog, but my name ain't Rover
[01:44.22] And I'm the kinda nigga that's feeling no pain
[01:46.80] Sometimes I have to wear a bullet-proof vest
[01:49.51] Because I got the 'CPT' sign written across my chest
[01:52.22] A funky dope brother never ceases to impress
[01:54.80] My name is DJ Quik, so you can fuck the rest
[01:57.54] I'm comin' like this, and I'm comin' directly
[02:00.16] 'Cause suckers get dain-bramaged if I'm doin' damage quite effectively
[02:03.50] Rhymin' is a battlezone, and suckers have no win
[02:06.13] 'Cause I'm a veteran from the C-O-M-P-T-O-N, kick it
[02:08.92] (Born and raised, born-, born and raised)
[02:11.56] Hell, motherfuckin', yeah (born and raised)
