Dj Quik - Born Raised in Compton LYRICS

[ verse 1 ]

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 excatly where its at

Cause its the home of the jackers and the crack

(compton) yeah, thats the name of the hometown

Im goin down in the town where my name is all around

The suckers just be havin a fit, and thats a pity

But I aint doin nothin but (claimin my city)

See, my lyrics Im doublin up and provin to suckers that I can throw

Im passin a natural ten or four or six or eight before I go

Yes, Im definitely freestylin, all the while still profilin

Never a trickster, dj quikster steals the show

So now thats how Im livin

I do as I please, you see

A younger brother thats up on reality

Cause everybody knows you have to be stompin

If youre born and raised in compton



(born and raised)

(born and raised)

(born and raised in compton)



(where you from, fool? )

(compton)



[ verse 2 ]

Now compton is the place where the homeboys chill, you see

But then I found that it wasnt no place for me

Cause way back in the day somebody musta wanted me to quit

Because they broke in my house and cold stole my shit

They musta thought that I was gonna play the punk role

Just because my equipment got stole

But I aint goin out like no sucker-ass clown

They found they couldnt keep a dope nigga down

So heres some bass in your face, muthafucka silly sucker-

Ass clocker, now youre duckin, cause you cant stop a brother

Like the quiksta, because Im true to the game

Youre lame, and things aint gonn never be the same

Cause a nigga like the quik is takin over

I really dont think I should have to explain

It, oh yeah, Im a dog, but my name aint rover

And Im the kinda nigga thats feelin no pain

Sometimes I have to wear a bullet-proof vest

Because I got the cpt sign written across my chest

A funky dope brother never ceases to impress

My name is dj quik, so you can fuck the rest

Im comin like this, and Im comin directly

Cause suckers get dain-bramaged if Im doin damage quite effectively

Rhymin is a battlezone, and suckers have no win

Cause Im a veteran from the c-o-m-p-t-o-n

Kick it



(born and raised)



Hell muthafuckin yeah

Funky dope for the nine-ace

Dj quik is in the muthafuckin house

Yeah
