Born and Raised In Compton

Now everybody wants to know the truth about a brother named Quik

I come from the school of the sly, wicked and the slick

A lotta people already know exactly where it's at

'Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack (Compton)

Yeah, that's the name of my hometown

I'm throwing down in the town

Where my name is all around

The suckas just be having a fit

And that's a pity

But I ain't doing nothing but (Claiming my city)

See my lyrics, I'm doubling up

And proving the suckers that I can throw 'em

Passing a natural ten, or four, or six, or eight before I go

Yes, I'm definitely free-styling

All the while still profiling

Never a trickster, DJ Quikster steals the show

So that that's how I'm livin'

I do as I please

You see a younger brother that's up on reality

'Cause everybody knows

You have to be stomping

If you're born and raised in Compton

Born and raised

Born and raised

Born and

Born and

Born and raised in Compton

Born and raised

Born and raised

Where you from, fool?

Compton

Now Compton is the place

Where the homeboys chill, you see

But then I found that it wasn't no place for me

'Cause way back in the day

Somebody must've wanted me to quit

Because they broke in my house

And cold stole all my shit

They must've thought that I was gonna play the punk role

Just because my equipment got stole

But I ain't going out like no sucker-ass clown

They found they couldn't keep a dope **** down

So here's some bass in your face

Motherfucker, silly sucker, ass clucker

Now you're ducking 'cause you can't stop a brother

Like the Quikster

Because I'm true to the gang

You're lame and things ain't gon' never be the same

'Cause a **** like the Quik is taking over

I really don't think I should have to explain it

Oh, yeah, I'm a dawg but my name ain't Rover

And I'm the kinda **** that's feeling no pain

Sometimes I have to wear the bulletproof vest

Because I got the CPT sign written across my chest

A funky dope brother never ceasing to impress

My name is DJ Quik, so you can fuck the rest

I'm coming like this and I'm coming directly

'Cause suckers get dain-bramage

If I'm doing damage quite effectively

Rhyming is a battle zone and suckers have no in

'Cause I'm a veteran from the C-O-M-P-T-O-N

Kick it

Born and raised

Born, born and raised

Hell, motherfucking yeah

Born, born and raised

Funky dope for the 9 Ace

Born and raised

Born and raised in Compton

DJ Quik is in the motherfucking house

Born and raised

Born, born and raised

Yeah

Born, born, born

Born and raised in Co-
