[ INTRO ]
  Gyeah
  Regulatin for the west
  Hoo Bangin gangstas in the house
  Gyeah
  Compton
  All day
  For the thugs
  
  [ VERSE 1 ]
  I tell you it's hell up in Compton, know what I mean
  Niggas'll keep you dumpin plottin for cream
  On a late night tip straight chasin your dream
  Just a young knucklehead tryin to run with the team
  Moms and Pops tripped and slipped into the split
  Now the days got tight cause this nigga wasn't gettin shit
  The old fools down the block said: you're dumb
  If you sling that white they will come
  Now I know the game 50 double into the C- note
  The beach cruiser flipped into the el camino
  My hoodrat bitch done got a little class
  Swap meet jewelry to tight jeans with ass
  The .380 tucked away in a stash
  The old school tapes I pumps in the dash
  Just so I can smash
  Sometimes I wonder how the hood life could last
  
  [ CHORUS ]
  The hood still took me under ( somebody help me out )
  That's true
  The hood still got me nigga
  Like you
  Gettin money on the blocks with my crew ( I don't wanna be here )
  I'll be a thug nigga till my days is through
  Come on
  The hood still got me under ( Somebody help me out )
  That's true
  The hood got me nigga
  Like you
  Gettin money on the blocks with my crew ( I don't wanna be here )
  I'll be a thug nigga till my days is trough
  
  [ VERSE 2 ]
  One-Times is gafflin that's the story
  Another drive-by, another territory
  Seems that they got a nigga all shook up
  Y'all know we run the fuckin streets if we all hook up
  But fuck it back to the fat packs I cook up
  Your clientel down the block I straight took up
  Dead presidents I got to stack it (ching-ching)
  Infiltrators can't see the [ ] in my jacket
  Lord you gotta forgive me for bein a thug
  Niggas cross the frontline, catch the slug
  Bullet cracks the window, body hits the rug
  Burn rubber-sound means a nigga just dug
  Out the crime scene back to my section
  Slippin in the dark, shoulda had protection
  That's how it goes never take shit lightly
  Hoo Bangin gangstas thinkin just like me
  
  [ CHORUS ]
  
  Check this out ( Somebody help me out )
  Gyeah
  Compton all day
  Come on ( Somebody help me out )
  Hoo Bang all day nigga ( Somebody help me out )
  Representin for the west ( Somebody help me out )
  Gyeah
  
  [ CHORUS ]
  
  Gyeah ( Somebody help me out )
  Representin for all the thugs ( I don't wanna be here )
  For all the thugs rest in peace
