They live on the street and they hustle for fame
Some kill for a livin some sling c*****e
Because it's now a lifestyle and a full time job
And if you live in Compton it's like at McCobb
From block to block everybody's bad
And if you don't know where you're at then your life's been had
Cause they walk in the street with intentions to meet
Some sappy lookin punk with Fila on his feet
And if you try to act tough well Mr Tough you're through
Cause everybody's a family if not they're a crew
I'm here to give some advice advice
Run
Cause if you're ever in Compton you better bring a gun
Yo here come my homeboy Mixmaster Spade
Man what's up man
Hey man ain't you from Compton man
Ah yeah
Alright man tell em what's up man
What you used to do
I used to cut up the beat on the two turntables
Now I'm rappin on the mic cause I'm willin and able
When I'm on the mic I take no slack
And everytime that you see me I'm tearin a gat
I got 380s and 22s
You messs with me I'm gonna bust on you
I got a 357 and a M 16
They call me Master Spade and Tee's the King
Now Compton is the city where the homeboys stay
Rollin in a different car everyday
Can't roll too hard gotta watch my back
Cause if I don't I just might get jacked
Now Compton is a city of a lotta fun
Can't walk down the street
Can't walk down the street
Can't walk down the stree without my gun
Now you know this just don't make no kinda sense
Now the next place is kinda risky if you're walkin with your mother
Y'all can get shot if she wears the wrong color
They're all from the old school nobody's modern
The place I'm talkin 'bout is the Nickerson Gardens
You can get away with murder cause they murdered the cops
Cause they said they tried to run a bumrush on Watts
But they took control slingers walk real tall
While real down gangbangers write their set on the wall
If I was you I wouldn't visit here it's like hell
And if you get robbed who you gonna tell
I'm only here for advice advice
Run
And if you're ever in Watts you better bring a gun
Now you got a nice car with a brand new paintin
Rag top convertable with all gold Daytons
You decide to take a ride down the Crenshaw strip
You stop at the Fat Burgers to feed your lip
You got your sounds bumpin playin Zapp and Vibe
A skeezer comes your way you say Let's take a ride
So you're cruisin Crenshaw with her you're goin to bail
A brown Cutlass pulls up they put a gauge to your head
They say
Get our your car
If you value your life
And leave your money
If you love your wife
Now you're standin in the street lookin like you're on crack
And you say to yourself：I can't believe I got jacked
You call the police because your car they stole
But when you get in touch with them they put you on hold
Your car is gone nothin could be done
So next time you cruise Crenshaw YOU BETTER BRING A GUN
Alright I wanna thank Mixmaster Spade for comin out to rock with me
And Greg Mack
The Mack Attack
And I also wanna thank J Ro and Sweet Tooth for comin out rockin
And I wanna thank Scotty D Cold Crush Chris
And DJ Pooh the Hip Hop Gangster
When he say beat em up he don't be bluffin
Word
And oh yeah I forgot somebody
Unknown
Yo man
Who blew up that McDonald's on Central and Rosecrans du
