[00:00.350] Finally out the mutha****in' CPT
[00:02.680] Off to other cities and shit
[00:04.150] No longer just an underground hit
[00:06.180] Movin thangs, a local nigga made good
[00:08.680] I made a name off of making tapes for niggas in the hood
[00:11.310] And now, let me tell a little story
[00:13.740] About the places that I been to and the shit that I been through
[00:16.550] Like fightin' and shootouts and bangin and shit
[00:18.670] All because a nigga made a hit, check it
[00:21.570] 1991, it was double or nothing, not a nigga wit' hit
[00:25.060] Then we broke out with the fonky shit
[00:26.940] About bitches and niggas and gettin' drunk and off that bud
[00:29.820] I was doing the shit they hadn't heard of
[00:31.950] But foolish was I to think that it wasn't no other cities like this
[00:35.240] And they didn't like this
[00:36.660] That Compton was the home of a foot in yo' ass
[00:38.940] Where you got blast, and now that's just a thing of the past
[00:41.680] Let me tell ya why firsthand
[00:43.400] We did a show up in Oak-land and niggas was kickin up sand
[00:46.690] To them bangin' ain't nothin' new, and slangin' ain't nothin' new
[00:49.250] And for every nigga we done shot, they done shot two
[00:51.820] Straight doin' locs since the sixties, before I was born
[00:54.970] Families of young niggas mourn
[00:56.690] So I'm just letting you know
[00:58.520] That if ya plan to take a trip to the Bay
[01:00.340] Keep your hand on your clip
[01:01.760] Because Oakland (ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
[01:05.060] Yeah, I'm telling y'all Oakland (ha ha ha, is just like Compton, fool)
[01:11.400] Moving on to St. Louis, where they country as ****
[01:14.350] With gold teeth in they mouth but they still know what's up
[01:16.930] Where it's hot as a mutha****a, hot enough to make ya cuss
[01:20.020] That's why I kept my ass on the bus
[01:22.200] But later on when it cooled off we came down and met a couple of friends
[01:25.740] Who put us up on the St. Louis cap
[01:27.770] The Smith Center, with Big Bob, Little Steve, Tojo, Biss and Rich
[01:31.910] And a couple of bitches
[01:33.020] Then they took us to a man named Gus in a store
[01:35.620] He put us down with a herringbone and shoes galore
[01:38.320] That's when I started thinking that this wasn't like home
[01:40.650] But then they had to prove me wrong
[01:42.620] 'Cause later that night after we did the show
[01:45.000] We went back to the afterset, and wouldn't ya know
[01:47.540] Yeah, Bloods and Crips start scrappin' and shootin' -- in Missouri?
[01:50.780] Damn, how could this happen?
[01:52.300] Now St. Louis (ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
[01:56.610] Yeah y'all, St. Louis (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton, nigga)
[02:02.440] I don't think they know, they too crazy for their own good
[02:05.320] They need to stop watchin' that Colors and Boyz n the Hood
[02:08.320] Too busy claimin Sixties, tryin to be raw
[02:10.950] And never ever seen the 'Shaw
[02:12.830] But now, back to the story that I'm tellin'
[02:14.850] We packed up the tour bus one more time and started bailin'
[02:18.090] When we arrived I saw red and blue sweatsuits
[02:20.430] When I'm thinkin' 'bout horse dookie, and cowboy boots
[02:23.520] I guess Texas ain't no different from the rest
[02:25.500] And San Antonio, was just waitin' to put us to the test
[02:28.650] And before it was over the shit got deep
[02:30.670] A nigga got shot in the face, and was dead in the street
[02:33.560] Then they came in the club thinkin' of scrappin'
[02:35.630] Little did they know that we was packin'
[02:38.080] Yeah, we was puttin' 'em down and scaring the rest, shit
[02:40.460] I even had to wear the bulletproof vest
[02:42.870] Now San Antonio (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
[02:47.800] Yeah, San Antonio (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton, bitch)
[02:53.280] After about a month on the road
[02:54.810] We came home and I can safely say
[02:57.040] That L.A. is a much better place to stay
[02:59.370] How could a bunch of niggas in a town like this
[03:01.750] Have such a big influence on niggas so far away?
[03:04.240] But still my story ain't over 'cause I got one more to tell
[03:07.070] And the people of Colorado, they know it well
[03:09.420] It was all in the news and if you don't remember
[03:11.740] I had this show I did in Denver
[03:13.620] With a punk ass promoter in a bunk ass skating rink
[03:16.400] Bitches was lovin it, but niggas was shovin and shit
[03:19.000] To the front of the stage to throw their gang signs
[03:21.940] But I'm getting paid so I didn't pay it no mind
[03:24.520] Then I poured out my brew onto their face and chest
[03:26.950] Then they start throwin' soda, and ****in' up my Guess
[03:29.400] When it was over two niggas needed stitches
[03:31.420] Got cracked in they jaw for being punk ass bitches
[03:33.910] Now Denver (ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
[03:38.320] Yeah, y'all Denver (ha ha ha, they wanna be like Compton, bitch)
[03:43.690] And you know that Oakland (ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
[03:48.320] Yeah, y'all, St. Louis (ha ha ha ha, we made it just like Compton, fool)
[03:53.500] Uh-huh, San Antonio (ha ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton)
[03:59.070] Yeah, and Denver (ha ha ha, they wanna be like Compton, punk ass niggas)
[04:04.040] I thought ya knew (ha ha ha, yeah)
