Straight Outta Compton Lyrics
[00:00.49] You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge
[00:05.66]
[00:12.52] Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
[00:15.73] From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
[00:18.08] When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
[00:20.15] Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
[00:22.54] You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
[00:24.90] The police are gonna hafta come and get me
[00:27.09] Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
[00:29.52] For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out
[00:31.88] Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
[00:34.05] Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
[00:36.42] Goin off on a motherfucker like that
[00:38.91] With a gat that's pointed at yo ass
[00:41.92] So give it up smooth
[00:43.49] Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
[00:46.17] Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
[00:48.45] With a crime record like Charles Manson
[00:50.64] AK-47 is the tool
[00:52.81] Don't make me act the motherfuckin fool
[00:55.15] Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
[00:57.40] I'm knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
[00:59.88] Yo weekly, monthly and yearly
[01:02.16] Until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
[01:04.49] That I'm down with the capital C-P-T
[01:07.14] Boy you can't fuck with me
[01:09.08] So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
[01:11.32] Coz Ice Cube is crazy as fuck
[01:13.75] As I leave, believe I'm stompin
[01:16.06] But when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton
[01:19.73]
[01:22.21] (City of Compton, City of Compton)
[01:24.95] Yo Ren
[01:25.85] Whassup?
[01:26.33] Tell em where you from!
[01:27.28] Straight outta Compton, another crazy ass nigga
[01:29.94] More punks I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
[01:32.39] I'm a bad motherfucker and you know this
[01:34.32] But the pussy ass niggaz don't show this
[01:36.64] But I don't give a fuck, I'ma make my snaps
[01:39.18] If not from the records, from jackin the crops
[01:41.45] Just like burglary, the definition is 'jackin'
[01:44.13] And when illegally armed it's called 'packin'
[01:46.43] Shoot a motherfucker in a minute
[01:48.18] I find a good piece o' pussy, I go up in it
[01:51.05] So if you're at a show in the front row
[01:53.05] I'm a call you a bitch or dirty-ass ho
[01:55.67] You'll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to
[01:58.02] But that shows me, slut, you're composed to
[02:00.51] A crazy muthafucker from tha street
[02:02.51] Attitude legit cause I'm tearin up shit
[02:04.94] MC Ren controls the automatic
[02:07.16] For any dumb muthafucker that starts static
[02:09.72] Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself
[02:11.82] Every time I pull a AK off the shelf
[02:14.33] The security is maximum and that's a law
[02:16.61] R-E-N spells Ren but I'm raw
[02:18.87] See, coz I'm the motherfuckin villain
[02:21.02] The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killin
[02:23.63] That's takin place without a clue
[02:25.64] And once you're on the scope, your ass is through
[02:28.39] Look, you might take it as a trip
[02:30.25] But a nigga like Ren is on a gangsta tip
[02:32.89] Straight outta Compton...
[02:37.04] (City of Compton, City of Compton)
[02:40.44]
[02:49.59] Eazy is his name and the boy is comin...
[02:51.47] Straight outta Compton
[02:52.58] Is a brotha that'll smother yo' mother
[02:54.78] And make ya sister think I love her
[02:56.40] Dangerous motherfucker raises hell
[02:58.93] And if I ever get caught I make bail
[03:01.07] See, I don't give a fuck, that's the problem
[03:03.46] I see a motherfuckin cop I don't dodge him
[03:05.96] But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
[03:08.51] And when I see a punk pass, I smile
[03:10.34] To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showin a nigga drivin
[03:13.42] But don't know where the fuck he's going, just rollin
[03:15.87] Lookin for the one they call Eazy
[03:17.61] But here's a flash, they never seize me
[03:19.75] Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark
[03:22.58] Except when I unload, see I'll get over the hesitation
[03:26.33] And hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration
[03:29.19] Give a little gust of wind and I'm jettin
[03:31.45] But leave a memory no one'll be forgettin
[03:33.76] So what about the bitch who got shot? Fuck her!
[03:36.01] You think I give a damn about a bitch? I ain't a sucker!
[03:38.48] This is the autobiography of the E, and if you ever fuck with me
[03:42.67] You'll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who will smother
[03:46.09] Word to the motherfucker, straight outta Compton
[03:48.53]
