Your rating:
Finally out the motha fuckin CPT Off to other cities and shit No longer just am underground hit Moving things, A local nigga made good And made a name off making tapes for niggers in the hood And now, let me tell a little story About the places that I been to and the shit that I been through Like fighting and shoot outs and banging and shit All because a nigga made a hit, check it Nineteen-ninety-one, it was double or nothing that a nigga would hit The we broke out with the funky shit About bitches and niggas and gettin drunk, and off that bud I was doing that shit they hadn't heard of But foolish was I, to think that it wasn't no other city like this And they didn't like this That Compton was the home of a foot in your ass Where you got blast And now that's a just a thing of the past Let me tell you why first hand, we did a show up on Oakland And niggas was kicken up sand To them banging ain't nothing new And slanging ain't nothing new And for every nigga we done shot, they done shot two Straight through and long since the sixties before I was born Families of young niggas mourn So I'm just letting you know That if you plan to take a trip to the bay Keep your hand on the clip Because Oakland (Is just like Compton) Yeah, I'm telling ya'll Oakland (Is just like Compton, fool) Moving on to St. Louis, where they country as fuck With gold teeth in they mouth, but they still know whats up Where its as hot as a mother-fucker Hot enough to make you cuss Thats why I kept my ass on the bus But later on when it cooled off we came down And met a couple of friends Who put us on the St. Louis cap The Smith Center, with Big Bob, Lil Steve, Tojo, Biss and Rich and a couple of bitches Then they took us to a man named Gus in his store He put me down with a herring-bone and shoes galore Thats when I started thinking that this wasn't like home But then they had to prove me wrong (prove me wrong) Cause later that night after we did the show We went back to the afterset, and wouldn't you know Bloods and Crips start scrappin and shooting In Missouri? Damn, How could this happen? Now St. Louis (Is just like Compton) Yeah ya'll St. Louis (is just like Compton, Nigga) I don't think they know, they too crazy for they own good They need to stop watching that "Colors" and Boyz in the Hood" Too busy claiming sixties, trying to be raw And never even seen the Shaw But now, back to the story that I'm telling We packed up the tour bus one more time and started bailing When we arrived I saw red and blue sweatsuits When I'm thinking about horse dookie and cowboy boots I guess Texas ain't no different from the rest And San Antonio, was just waiting to put us to the test And before it was over the shit got deep A nigga got shot in the face, and was dead in the street Then they came in the club, thinking of scrapping Little did they know that we was packing Yeah, we was putting them down and scaring the rest, shit I even had to wear the bulletproof vest Now San Antonio (Is just like Compton) Yeah San Antionio (Is just like Compton, Bitch) After about a month on the road We came home and I could safely say That LA is a much better place to stay How could a bunch of niggas in a town like this Have such a big influence on niggas so far away But still my story ain't over cause I got one more to tell And the people of Colorado, they know it well It was all in the news, and if you don't remember I had this show I did in Denver With a punk ass promoter in a bunk ass skating rink Bitches was loving it, but niggas was shoving and shit To the front of the stage to throw they gang signs But, I'm getting paid, so I didn't pay it no mind Then I poured out my brew onto their face and chests Then they start throwing soda, and fucking up my guests When it was over two niggas needed stitches Got cracked in they jaw, for being punk ass bitches Now Denver (Is just like Compton) Yeah ya'll Denver (They want to be like Compton, Bitch) And you know that Oakland (Is just like Compton Yeah ya'll St. Louis (We made it just like Compton, fool) Uh huh San Antonio (Is just like Compton) Yeah and Denver (They wanna be like Compton, Punk ass nigga) I thought you knew.....
