I'm from Compton where them guns bust, watch Poppa George pop
Cats tellin' jokes at them car games
Seen big face hundreds, handle the rock like Nate Archibald
What, this nigga only sixteen
And I wanted to be, just like him, middle school fightin'
Any nigga with a chip on his shoulder, whattup nigga?
You want beef with me, now I let the heat speak for me
No more talkin', just outline chalkin
Nigga Witta Attitude from birth, "100 Miles and Running"
Gunnin' bustin shots like fuck the cops
Notorious for burnin' blocks, weavin in and out of traffic and chop
Game the young Robin Hood of the block
Steal from the rich, give to the poor, coward niggas rock
Second comin of this black Alfred Hitchcock
Kick in the door, wavin' the four-four
Ten shots to your spleen, let them violins sing
Yo, I'm just a ghetto nigga stuck in this game, young'uns runnin' with 'caine
Rain hits so we floodin' the game
When you come to Compton respect the grounds, leave you shook man
And I look good, from Compton to Brooklyn
Hey yo I don't give a fuck who you are, fuck ya ice
Fuck the block that you claim, fuck your Bentley Azure
Dead presidents is all I represent
'Til y'all met me y'all niggas ain't met gangsta yet
Fast cars, money and muscle, the hustle I was brought up in the 80's
Gangbangin', dope traffic, shit get crazy
From where niggas grow up hard like dicks raised
Them hustlin guns like Knicks players, we got mouths to feed
'Til they put flowers on me, moms kiss my cold cheek
In that pine box, I'm buyin' rocks, eyein cops
Fuck a cell block, the young kid makin it happen
Who you think got them fiends runnin' back like Bo Jackson?
I'm a gangsta, what else could I say?
I'm ahead of myself like it's Y4K
2Pac, Scarface, N.W.A
Taught me how to dodge them bullets, keep my wig in play
Keep fo' snug in the waist or pay a thousand to have 'em
Niggas in the street move faster than, Michael Jackson's album
But the shit don't really matter to me, we get better G
Bet the four slow 'em down like PCP
Yo, I'm just a ghetto nigga stuck in this game, young'uns runnin' with 'caine
Rain hits so we floodin' the game
When you come to Compton respect the grounds, leave you shook man
And I look good, from Compton to Brooklyn
Hey yo I don't give a fuck who you are, fuck ya ice
Fuck the block that you claim, fuck your Bentley Azure
Dead presidents is all I represent
'Til y'all met me y'all niggas ain't met gangsta yet
Real gangsters never talk shit, handle they business
Fuck the dry snitchin' and bitchin', niggas die when them bullets fly
Who fuckin with him, ha? Not a nigga alive
End up dead in that five
He got no sympathy for them dead guys, friend or foe
Watch that chest cave in, what that vest savin'?
Make it sloppy for the autopsy, leave my enemies in a frenzy
On the frontlines holdin a nine
Everyday a new chapter, my own niggas plottin' on me
Tryin' to hit me but they won't get me, feel the semi first
Fuckin' with my dough, is the worst way to go
Y'all know, niggas cry when them bullets burn slow dummy
In and out of spots watchin' my money
If one dollar come up missin bodies start to come up missin'
No one too heavy for the Expedition, piss on your corpse
Watch your soul shiver, throw him in the river, bitch nigga
Ghetto nigga stuck in this game, young'uns runnin' with 'caine
Rain hits so we floodin' the game
When you come to Compton respect the grounds, leave you shook man
And I look good, from Compton to Brooklyn
Hey yo I don't give a fuck who you are, fuck ya ice
Fuck the block that you claim, fuck your Bentley Azure
Dead presidents is all I represent
'Til y'all met me y'all niggas ain't met gangsta yet
