Lyrics

[Intro]
You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge
[Verse 1]
Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called **** Wit Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed-off
Squeeze the trigger and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if you fuck with me
The police are gonna have to come and get me
Off your ass, that's how I'm goin' out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin' out
**** start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix 'em and cook 'em in a pot like gumbo
Goin' off on the motherfucker like that
With a gat that's pointed at your ass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin' when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep ya dancin'
With a crime record like Charles Manson
AK-47 is the tool
Don't make me act a motherfuckin' fool
Me and you could go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin' **** out the box daily
Yo, weekly, monthly, and yearly
Until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
That I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy, you can't fuck with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
'Cause Ice Cube is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I'm stompin'
But when I come back, boy, I'm comin' straight outta Compton
[Chorus]
City of Compton, City of Compton
Yo, Ren
Wassup?
Tell 'em where you're from
[Verse 2]
Straight outta Compton, another crazy ass ****
More punks I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
I'm a bad motherfucker and you know this
But the pussy-ass **** won't show this
But I don't give a fuck, I'ma make my snaps
If not from the records, from jackin' or craps
Just like burglary, the definition is jackin'
And when I'm legally armed, it's called packin'
Shoot a motherfucker in a minute
I'll find a good piece of pussy and go up in it
So if you're at a show in the front row
I'ma call you a bitch or a dirty-ass ho
You'll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to
But that shows me, slut, you're composed to
A crazy motherfucker from the street
Attitude legit 'cause I'm tearin' up shit
MC Ren controls the automatic
For any dumb motherfucker that starts static
Not a 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 I'm the motherfuckin' villain
The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killin'
That's takin' place without a clue
And once you're on the scope, your ass is through
Look, you might take it as a trip
But a **** like Ren is on a gangsta tip
Straight outta Compton
[Chorus]
City of Compton, city of Compton
Eazy is his name and the boy is comin'
[Verse 3]
Straight outta Compton
Is a brother that'll smother your mother
And make your sister think I love her
Dangerous motherfucker raisin' hell
And if I ever get caught, I make bail
See, I don't give a fuck, that's the problem
I see a motherfuckin' cop, I don't dodge 'em
But I'm smart, lay low, creep awhile
And when I see the punk pass, I smile
To me it's kinda funny, the attitude show a **** drivin'
But don't know where the fuck he goin', just rollin'
Lookin' for the one they call Eazy
But here's a flash, they'll never seize me
Ruthless, never seen, like a shadow in the dark
Except when I unload
You see a spark and jump over, a hesitation
And hear the scream of the one who caught the lead penetration
Feel a little gust of wind and now I'm jettin'
But leave a memory, no one'll be forgettin'
So what about the bitch who got shot? Fuck her
You think I give a damn about a bitch? I ain't a sucker
This is a autobiography of the E
And if you ever fuck with me
You'll get taken by a stupid dope brother who will smother
Word to the motherfucker, straight outta Compton
City of Compton, city of Compton
[Outro]
Damn, that shit was dope
