Intro:
Straight outta Compton, crazy motherf***er named Ice Cube
From the gang called N****z Wit Attitudes (when I'm called off)
I got a sawed-off shotgun
And if a s**t gets tough, I’m gonna blast on you, haha
Verse 1:
Straight outta Compton, another crazy ass n***a
More punks I smoke, yo, my rep gets bigger
I'm a561, I’m armed with a shotgun
You could run but you can’t hide, I’m coming for you, son
Chorus:
Straight outta Compton, where the gangsters dwell
Ain't no fairytale, just a story to tell
Verse 2:
N.W.A's the name, and you know we don't play
We make the rules, motherf***er, in our own way
From the block to the booth, we grind every day
Straight outta Compton, it’s the price we pay
Chorus:
Straight outta Compton, where the gangsters dwell
Ain't no fairytale, just a story to tell
Outro:
So listen up close, haters wanna diss
But we gotta rise up, can't live like this
Straight outta Compton, we stand our ground
In the city of dreams, we the kings of the sound.
