Straight Outta Compton

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge

Straight outta Compton, it's a crazy brother named Ice Cube
From the stupid-dope gang with a attitude
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Kick knowledge, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya get with me
The police are gonna have to come and get me
Off yo back, that's how I'm going out
For the sucker dumb brothers, that's showing out

Some start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix 'em and cook 'em in a pot like gumbo
Goin' off on everybody like that
With bass that's droppin' in your face
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin' when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep yo' dancin'
With a crime record like Charles Manson

Yo Dre, what's the sound of my tool?
Now you know that I'm about to act a fool
Me and you can go toe to toe, no "maybe"
I'm knockin' suckas out the box daily
Yo, weekly, monthly and yearly
Until the whole damn world see clearly
That I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy, you can't step to me

So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck down
'Cause Ice Cube will damn sure - 'em down
As I leave, believe I'm stompin'
But when I come back, boy, I'm coming straight outta Compton
(Compton, Compton, Compton)

Yo, Ren (whassup?)
Tell 'em where you from

Straight outta Compton, a brother with his finger on the trigger
More punks I take out, my rep gets bigger
I'm a ruthless villain and you know this
But the suckas in the public won't show this
But I don't really care, I'mma make my snaps
If not from the records, from jackin' the crops
Just like burglary, the definition is jackin'
But when illegally armed, it's called 'packin'

Knock a fool out in a sec
I find somebody talkin' trash and put 'em in check
So if you're at a show in the front row
I'mma call you a sucka if you don't go with the flow
You'll probably get mad like a punk is supposed to
But that shows me, yo, you're composed to
A crazy lil' brother from the street
Attitude legit 'cause I'm ready to hit

MC Ren controls the automatic
For any fool in my way that starts static
Not the right hand 'cause I'm the hand itself
Every time I pull a AK off the shelf
The security is maximum and that's a law
R-E-N spells Ren, but I'm raw
See, 'cause people know me as a villain
The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killing

That's taking place without a clue
And once you're on the scope, you know you's through
Look, you might take it as a trip
But a brother like Ren is on a gangsta tip
Straight outta Compton
(Compton, Compton, Compton)

Eazy is his name, and the boy is comin'

Straight outta Compton
Is a brother that'll smother your mother
And make your sister think I love her
Dangerous young brother raising hell
And if I ever get caught, I make bail
See I don't really care, that's the problem
When I see a police, I don't dodge him
But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
And when I see the punk pass, I smile

To me, it's kinda funny, the attitude showin' suckas drivin'
But don't know where the hell they goin', just rollin'
Lookin' for the one they call Eazy
But here's a flash, they never seize me
Ruthless, never seen like a shadow in the dark
Except when I unload
You see, it's walk and talk over the hesitation
And hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration

Feel a little gust of wind and now I'm jettin'
And leave a memory no one'll be forgettin'
So what about the girl who got shot?
You think I give a damn about a girl? I ain't a sucker
This is the autobiography of the E
And if you ever mess with me
You'll get taken by a stupid-dope brother who will smother
Word to the mother, yeah, straight outta Compton
(Compton, Compton, Compton)

(City of Compton, City of Compton)

That's the way it goes in the city of Compton, boy
