Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm a B-L-double-O-D
Been on songs with S-N-double-O-P
Inside a Ferrari with the D-R-E
Run up, I let it sing like Nate D-O-double-G
Walk through 8 Mile, G-Unit's on my feet
Got a cherry lowrider in the N-Y-C
Eve took me to Philly, never been to the pen
Been to Uptown with 50, seen **** in Timbs
I done seen Young Buck scuff Air Force Ones in Cashville, but Compton is
Where I'm from
Where it's just me, my son, and my bitch
She graduated when Notorious BIG dropped "Me & My Bitch"
She get them birds past, I put her in first class and tell her to carry on that Dooney & Burke bag
She from Grape Street, she know how to work the mag and only buy white tees, tell 'em to keep the purple tags
'Cause the laces in my Chucks keep the beef crackin'
I lay **** out like creased khakis
In that G-Wagon, lean like the 23's draggin'
I got the whole N-Y-C saggin'
[Chorus]
If you don't know where I'm from
Aftermath, witta attitude, Game time ****, Westside
**** witta attitude
Straight Outta Compton
We rock khakis and Chucks
If you don't know where I'm from
Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic, legend in the making
Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels
[Verse 2]
Y'all **** got it fucked up
What you thought 'cause I'm from Compton I couldn't do numbers like Usher?
Platinum certified, ****, that's a mill' plus
Play both sides of the fence 'cause the Crips feel cuz
See me ridin' with Nate, ****, it's still Blood
You can C-walk to this, homey, it's still love
****, I've been bangin' since Mary J did "Real Love"
If you don't know
I painted the Rover black, the West Coast is back, I can smoke to that
Moms got the CL-6, that's a fact
I bought the house, I'm just waitin' on the platinum plaques
**** lookin' for a cat to jack
Homey, I'm willin' to do two life sentences back to back
So please don't push me
You **** is W-N-B-A, all pussy
[Chorus]
If you don't know where I'm from
Aftermath, witta attitude, Game time ****, Westside
**** witta attitude
Straight Outta Compton
We rock khakis and Chucks
If you don't know where I'm from
Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic, legend in the making
Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels
[Chorus]
If you don't know where I'm from
Aftermath, witta attitude, Game time ****, Westside
**** witta attitude
Straight Outta Compton
We rock khakis and Chucks
If you don't know where I'm from
Almost lost my life when Dre dropped The Chronic, legend in the making
Aftermath, you better watch your colors in the City of Angels
