[00:09.970]Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack
[00:12.269](Compton) Yeah, that's the name of the hometown
[00:15.104]I'm throwing down in the town where
[00:16.447]My name is all around
[00:17.610]The suckers just be havin a fit, and that's a pity
[00:20.140]But I ain't doing nothing but (claiming my city)
[00:22.601]See, my lyrics I'm doubling up

[00:25.283]I'm passing a natural ten or four
[00:26.410]Or six or eight before I go
[00:27.766]Yes, I'm definitely freestyling,
[00:29.348]All the while still profiling
[00:30.379]Never tricks, the DJ Quikster steals the show
[00:32.343]So that's how I'm livin, I do as I please, you see
[00:35.685]A younger brother that's up on reality
[00:38.507]Cause everybody knows you have to be stomping

[01:05.408]Now Compton is the place where the homeboys chill,
[01:07.425]You see
[01:07.959]But then I found that it wasn't no place for me
[01:10.223]Cause way back in the day somebody
[01:12.127]Must of wanted me to quit
[01:13.243]Because they broke in my house
[01:14.519]And cold stole my shit
[01:15.808]They musta thought that
[01:17.025]I was gonna play the punk role
[01:18.199]Just because my equipment got stole
[01:20.799]But I ain't going out like no sucker-ass clown

[01:36.287]Cause a nigga like the Quik is takin over
[01:38.481]I really don't think I should have to explain
[01:41.046]It, oh yeah, I'm a dog, but my name ain't Rover
[01:43.763]And I'm the kinda nigga that's feeling no pain
[01:46.423]Sometimes I have to wear a bullet-proof vest
[01:48.905]Because I got the 'CPT' sign written across my chest

[02:02.920]Rhymin is a battlezone, and suckers have no win
[02:05.298]Cause I'm a veteran from the C-O-M-P-T-O-N
