[The Game]
Aight
Now everybody wanna know the truth about a nigga named Game
I come from the hub and every ghetto ainīt the same
A lot of people already know exactly where itīs at
Cause itīs the home of the jackers and the crack [whispered] - Compton
Yeah thatīs the name of my hometown
Iīm goin down, in the town, where my name is all around
And niggaz just be hatin and shit, thatīs a pity
But I ainīt doin nuttin but claimin my city
See my lyrics are double or nothin provin to suckers I can throw īem
Pass the natural 10 to 4 and six-eight before I go
Not really into freestylin, or tryin to promote violence
But they gotta know about the five-five-foī, so
And thatīs how Iīm livin, I do as I please B
A young gangsta put in work on these Cali streets
And everybody knows that you gotta be stompin
If youīre born and raised in Compton
[Chorus]
[quiet scratching:] "Born and raised in Compton"
[The Game]
Nowww Compton is a place, where all my niggaz chill dog
ītil I found out, the streets get real dog
īBout a year ago, somebody musta wanted me to die
Cause they kicked in the door, and gave the young kid five
They musta thought that I was gonī play the bitch role
Cause I lived through foī five six holes
But I ainīt goin out like no faggot-ass clown
They found, they couldnīt keep a gangsta nigga down
So hereīs the burner in your face motherfucker silly sucker
ass clucker now youīre duckin cause you canīt stop a Y.G.
Gangsta, cause Iīm true to my game
Youīre lame, and thangs ainīt gonī never be the same
Cause a nigga like the Game is takin over
I really donīt think I should have to explain
Oh yeah Iīm a dog but my name ainīt Rover
And Iīm the kinda nigga thatīs feelin no pain
Sometimes I have to wear a bulletproof vest
Because I got the C-P-T style written across my chest
A gangsta motherfucker never ceasin to impress
My name is young Game so you can fuck, the rest
Iīm comin like this and Iīm comin directly
Cause niggaz gettin all stirred up, Iīm doin damage quite effectively
Rhymin is a battlezone and niggaz canīt win
Cause Iīm a gangsta from the C-O-M-P-T-O-N |
