Shades
Wale
[Verse 1: Wale] Chip on my shoulder, big enough to feed Cambodia See, I never fit into they quotas Sneakers wasn’t fitting and my knees needed lotion Long before I knew the significance of a comb I roam like phone with no vocal reception Immigrant parents had me feeling like a step-kid And black Americans never did accept me That’s why I grab so much when I'm respected I never fit in with them light skins I felt the lighter they was, the better that they life is So I resented them and they resented me Cheated on light skin Dominique when we was seventeen I figure I'd hurt her, she evidently hurt me And all women who had light features, see I'd never let a light broad hurt me That’s why I strike first and the verse cuts deep [Chorus: Chrisette Michele] From a light-skinned girl to a dark-skinned brother Shade doesn’t matter, heart makes the lover Boy you’re so beautiful, boy you're so beautiful Shadee doesn’t matter, heart makes the lover Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate Toffee, pecan, licorice, boy you're so beautiful See Wale LiveGet tickets as low as $128You might also like[Verse 2: Wale] Just another knotty-haired nigga Hoping Wes Snipes make my life a bit different In middle school I had to write to be timid I had beautiful words but girls never listened Listen; blacker the berry, sweeter the powder Well I'm fruit punch concentrate and they water Walk into my room thinking how to make moves Ain't thinking like a student but how Ice-T'd do it Light dudes had the girls looking there all year It’s not fair, the ones with the good hair Couldn’t adapt to naps, I wear caps They napped and slept on me, man, I hate black Skin tone I wish I could take it back Or rearrange my status maybe if I was khaki Associating light skin with classy The minstrel show showed a me that was not me [Chorus: Chrisette Michele] From a light-skinned girl to a dark-skinned brother Shade doesn’t matter, heart makes the lover Boy you’re so beautiful, boy you're so beautiful Shadee doesn’t matter, heart makes the lover Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate Toffee, pecan, licorice, boy you're so beautiful [Verse 3: Wale] They say "black is beautiful," but ask them beautiful Light girls if it's black they attract to usually What if Barack's skin was all black, truthfully Would he be a candidate or just a blackened community? We as black dudes tend to lack unity And them blacker girls ain't on the tube usually Right now at 23 I ain't mad at them reds no more But for long time I had gone cold Blindfolded my own insecurity was holding me back To reds, I ain't know how to act They would get the cold shoulder and know it was an act A defense mechanism, what I thought that I lacked Confidence [Chorus: Chrisette Michele] From a light-skinned girl to a dark-skinned brother Shade doesn’t matter, heart makes the lover Boy you’re so beautiful, boy you're so beautiful Shadee doesn’t matter, heart makes the lover Honey brown, caramel, coffee brown, chocolate Toffee, pecan, licorice, boy you're so beautiful5

Who gon' speak for us? Who gon' plead for us? Who gon' be the Head N.I.C. for us? Who gon' defend us from crooked police on us? I'm just an insecure N.I.G. er [Break: Wale] Please listen to me, please listen to me Please listen to me, N.I.G. er Please listen to me, who gon' listen to me?

I'd still be a nigga, he'd still be a nigga in his feelings I'd still be a nigga with no deal tryna get one There'd still be niggas out killing And still be white people still out to get us And still be niggas saying whites tryna get us And still be lazy and paranoid niggas I'm paramount, nigga, I am, and you can't be mad 'Cause I choose the word "nigga," lemme air it out, nigga "Nigga" ain't bad, see, niggas just had A clever idea to take something they said Into something we have, something we flipped Into something with swag, nigga, don't be mad Bitches ain't shit, but women ain't bitches See, women are the queens, and bitches just bitches And bitches say "bitch" like bitch is not offensive When niggas say "bitch," all of the sudden, they offended A nigga say "nigga" to a nigga A nigga write "nigga" in a lyric Expect the white boy to omit it The white boy spit it like he spit it Recite it to his friends who, by the way, ain't niggas And say "Nigga, nigga, nigga, my favorite rapper did it" And non-nigga friends got it with him Incorporate this lyric to their everyday living Until a Black friend kinda hear it, just a tidbit He thinks "Aw, forget it, it's so insignificant and little" The white boy sees this as a clearance Now it's, "Nigga, nigga, nigga," every single day And that little nigga-nigga, think it's okay And he's the only nigga in this particular grade And it begins to faze him more each day The things they say went a little too far He couldn't tell the difference between a "-a" or "-er" So they just keep going, saying "nigga" in his face There's nothing he can do, he let it get away It came to the point he couldn't look 'em in the face The mirror made him hurl, his reflection disgraceful Yeah, and make sure everything you say Can't be held against you in any kind of way And any connotation is viewed many ways 'Cause under every nigga, there's a little bit of Kramer Self-hatred, I hate you And myself Niggas! [Outro: Michael Richards] Uh, I lost my temper onstage, I was at, uh, a comedy club trying to, um, do my act... And I got heckled and I, I, I took it badly and went into a... a rage... And uh, uh... said some pretty, uh... nasty things to some Afro-Americans, a lot of trash talk... For this to happen, for me to be in a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, you know, I'm... I'm deeply, deeply sorry1

I'm the reason it's become this way And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised (Let me put you on game) As they love my darkness, I make them heartless And in return they have become my martyrs I've been in the poem of many a poet And I reside in the art of many a artist (Let me put you on game) Some of your smartest have tried to articulate My whole part in this, but they're fruitless in their harvest The dro grows from my footsteps I'm the one that they follow, I am the one that they march with (Let me put you on game) Through the back alleys and the black markets The Oval offices, crack houses, and apartments Through the mazes of the queens The pages of the sages and the chambers of the kings (Let me put you on game) Through the veinses of the fiends A paper chaser's pager, yo, I'm famous on the scene One of the oldest, most ancientest things Speak every single language on the planet, ya'n mean? (Let me put you on game) I am the American dream The rape of Africa, the undying machine The overpriced medicine, the murderous regime The tough guy's front and the one behind the scenes (Let me put you on game) I am the blood of this city, its gas, water, and electricity I'm its gym, and its math, and its history The gunshots in the class And you can't pass if you missin', G I taught them better than that I taught them aim for the head and hope they never come back I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby, hope he never comes back I hope he's with your mother with my hustlers high in my traps (Let me put you on game) I hope you die in his trash I can't help it, all I hear when you crying is laughs I'm sure somebody find you tied up in this bag Behind the hospital, little baby crack addicts had (Let me put you on game) Then maybe you can grow up and be a stripper A welfare-receiving prostitute and gold digger You can watch on TV how they should properly depict you The rivers shall flow with liquor, quench your thirst on my elixirs (Let me put you on game) I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor The trusted misleader, the number one defender And from a throne of their bones I rule These fools are my fuel, so I make them cool (Let me put you on game) Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool And feed them from the table that held Corleone's food If you die, tell them that you played my game I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name Cause I'm the—You might also like18

He said, "Hustler for death, no heaven for a gangster" And...

The preacher man said "She's going to kill off your soul." The dope boy said "It's the whole wide world." [Chorus: Matthew Santos] Death is on the tip of her tongue and Danger's at the tip of her fingers Streets are on fire tonight Death is on the tip of her tongue and Danger's at the tip of her fingers Streets are on fire tonight13

Before the answer was a 3 I was down in Georgetown with a Hoya chick, lawyer chick Sure he's rich now 'cause he saw the shit, all this shit That's why they call him Hov, 'cause he came before all this shit Bought a 6, quarter seven, skipped on them quarter eights Bought a 9 for non-stop Glock work all the time Woo! Guess who's back? Since this is a New Era, got a fresh new hat Ten year veteran, I've been set I've been through with this bullshit game but I never can I used to think rappin' at 38 was ill But last year alone I grossed 38 mill I know I ain't quite 38 but still The flow so special got a 38 feel, The real is back, heheheheYou might also like4

[Intro - Geologic] November 30th, 1999 No sunshine [Verse 1] The body rock stopped, probably got caught by the cops Nearby, somebody got shot But parties don't stop and the parties don't care It's a stick-up, it's why we got our hands in the air Still demanding a share, refrigerators bare Cause they wanna see trade get free and not fair But we are not blind, we are not there We don't got time left to spare to not care On the last day of November, swellin' in ranks Went to chant down the mighty IMF and World Bank A gathering of people in peaceful assembly Onward to Westlake to disrupt the entry Walk along steady, riot squad ready To protect every last dignitary's ass But this started when they herded us like cattle in a fence Protesters gettin' restless without an exit They threatened to arrest us, we pushed back and then A hail of rubber bullets hit teens and old men I admit, had to split when the first gas canisters hit Felt it burn in my eyes, nose, and lips They tried to blame it on the anarchists, garbage I was there, I'll tell you right now the pigs started it But they distort it in the news Talkin' bout stompin' down Niketown wearing their shoes You might also like[Bridge] But the body rock stopped, probably got caught by the cops Nearby, somebody got shot But the parties don't stop and the parties don't care It's a stick-up, it's why we got our hands in the air [Chorus] 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets 50,000 deep, 50,000 deep [Bridge] But the body rock stopped, probably got caught by the cops Nearby, somebody got shot But parties don't stop in the south So take your shoes off when you come into my house [Verse 2] I had to duck out cause I knew I stuck out in the crowd After many years growin' up brown in this town Now this is what democracy looks like Not what you all had in mind for tonight Mr. Mayor, shell-shocked for 5 days straight Press conference, lookin' constipated and pale Tossed a homie in jail, wasn't even protesting Wrong place, wrong time, learned a quick lesson But this is not a question what we did to deserve this Rich kids went and got arrested on purpose But was it worth it? My first inclination Globalization is the root of the pain Made the reason that they left and the reason that we came Catch my breath, blood pulsates my brain And they called it a riot? Huh, I call it an uprising And they call this a riot? But nah, I call it an uprising And they call this a riot? Nah man fuck that, I'ma call it a uprising [Chorus] 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets, c'mon y'all 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets, yeah! 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets8

Stairway to Heaven
Led Zeppelin
[Intro] [Verse 1] There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to Heaven When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven [Chorus] Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, makes me wonder [Verse 2] There's a feeling I get when I look to the West And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking [Chorus] Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, really makes me wonder You might also like[Verse 3] And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter [Chorus] Oh-oh-oh-oh-woahhh [Verse 4] If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on [Chorus] And it makes me wonder Ohh, woah [Verse 5] Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one, and one is all To be a rock and not to roll [Outro] And she's buying a stairway to Heaven287

What’s Hardcore
K’naan
[Verse 1] I put a pen to the paper This time as visual as possible Guns blast at the hospital The walls are white washed with tin rooftops To show love, you lick two shots It's dangerous man Journalists hire gunmen, there's violent women Kids trust no one cause fire burnt them Refugees die in boats, headed for peace Is anyone scared of death here? Not in the least I walk by the old lady selling coconuts under the tree Life is cheap here, but wisdom is free The beach boys hang on the side, leaning with pride Scam artists and gangsters fiending to fight I walk with three kids that can't wait to meet God Lately, that's Bucktooth, Muhammad and Crybaby What they do everyday just to eat, Lord have mercy Strapped with an AK and they bloodthirsty [Hook] So what's hardcore? Really, are you hardcore? Hmm [Verse 2] We begin our day by the way of the gun Rocket propelled grenades blow you away if you front We got no police ambulance or fire fighters We start riots by burning car tires They looting, and everybody start shooting Bullshit politicians talking about solutions, but it's all talk You can't go half a block without a road block You don't pay at the road block you get your throat shot And each road block is set up by these gangsters And different gangsters go by different standards For example, the evening is a no-go Unless you wanna wear a bullet like a logo In the day you should never take the alleyway The only thing that validates you is the AK They chew on Jad, it's sorta like coca leafs And there ain't no police You might also like[Hook] [Verse 3] I'mma spit these verses cause I feel annoyed And I'm not gonna quit till I fill the void If I rhyme about home and got descriptive I'd make 50 Cent look like Limp Bizkit It's true, and don't make me rhyme about you I'm from where the kids is addicted to glue Get ready, he got a good grip on the machete Make rappers say they do it for love like R. Kelly It's hard, harder than Harlem and Compton intertwined Harder than harboring Bin Laden and rewind (To that earlier part when I was kinda like) We begin our day by the way of the gun Rocket propelled grenades blow you away if you front We got no police ambulances or fire fighters We start riots by burning car tires They looting, and everybody starts shooting [Hook]

[Intro] Yeah Yeah, girl Can you hear that? It's playing our song Are you sleepy? Take a nap You're not afraid of the dark, are you? [Verse 1] You hear the beat as it makes ya not want to go to sleep I knock on Dakota's door; it's locked, so I go to creep 'Round the back with binoculars, not 'cause I wanna peep But because I'm hungry, she smells like tacos, I wanna eat Visions of hot chocolaty marshmallows, all so sweet With sugar plums; oh, look Here comes Marshall, he's on your street He's placing hot, smoldering charcoals beneath your feet Now walk on 'em; he's dancing with carcasses cheek to cheek Like a Thanksgiving turkey, a holiday ham Cinnamon sprinkled on toast, strawberry marmalade jam Flavor my favorite graham crackers with JonBenét Rams' I guess a modern-day Jack the Ripper is all that I am [Chorus] (My music box) 'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep (My music box) But I can hear you, my love, you keep calling me (My music box) Although we're worlds apart, you mean the world to me (My music box, my music box) So once you call, I come, I will answer (My music box) 'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep (My music box) I hear my music box playing a song for me (My music box) So won't you twirl around and do a whirl for me? (My music box, my music box) And would you be my private little dancer? You might also like[Verse 2] I almost look comatose; who wants to be sober? Gross I foam like a Doberman, mouth open, I overdose Put coke up my nostrils in both my holes, then I plug my nose My pupils quadruple in size, eyes are so bugged, I know I put on my mother's makeup, get naked and run around Wavin' the gun around, I think I'm down to a hundred pounds There's thunder, I wonder how come it rains, but the sun is out? The devil's upset with his wife, they must be sluggin' it out I must be buggin' the fuck out, but what the fuck about? Voices are leading me up to the attic, I love my house They pull and they tug my blouse, the sound of a music box Comes from inside a toy chest, but what do I do? It's locked I pick it and open it, but it's stuffed full of human parts I dig 'til I find it, I wind it up, and the tune just starts It's playing a song, so beautiful, and the room is dark The moon is full, I smell a funeral, guess I'll loom in the park [Chorus] (My music box) 'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep (My music box) But I can hear you, my love, you keep calling me (My music box) Although we're worlds apart, you mean the world to me (My music box, my music box) So once you call, I come, I will answer (My music box) 'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep (My music box) I hear my music box playing a song for me (My music box) So won't you twirl around and do a whirl for me? (My music box, my music box) And would you be my private little dancer? [Verse 3] I'm fixated on asphyxiatin' and breakin' This little chick's neck like a Pixy Stick The sick, Satan-worshippin' bitches get horse whippings I'm in the back, through the back door slippin' Through the crack, leavin' the corpse drippin' The mortician of love, sent from above Forced entry, the more wenchy the more stingy I become Been doing this for more than a quarter-century, I'm just numb Am I dreaming, is it real? Someone pinch me on the buns The time has come to tie her up, gotta roll me the ladder I've had enough of the chatter Climb up to the window, look at her Then climb in slow to shatter her brain matter and batter her With a bat; a matter of fact, that will splatter her But before I do that, I'll have a chat to flatter her Give her two compliments back to back, like "Tabitha I'm your secret admirer, I'm back to ravish ya So strong is your fight, but you're no match for Dracula" Prolonging her plight as I go back to stabbin' her Dismember her limbs, simple as that: cadaver her Zoom in with the lens, then pan back the camera Stand back, 'cause here comes your man Jack, so Pamela [Chorus] (My music box) 'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep (My music box) But I can hear you, my love, you keep calling me (My music box) Although we're worlds apart, you mean the world to me (My music box, my music box) So once you call, I come, I will answer (My music box) 'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep (My music box) I hear my music box playing a song for me (My music box) So won't you twirl around and do a whirl for me? (My music box, my music box) And would you be my private little dancer?68

Tears of Joy
Rick Ross
[Intro Skit: Bobby Seale] Do you know what we are going to do? We are going to defend ourselves because Huey P.

Hello darkness [Bridge: UNKLE] Pleased to make your acquaintance, salutations Konnichiwa, hello end of the world, how are you, I'm fine [Chorus: UNKLE] Hello darkness, hello sunshine Hello not at all, hello all the time Hello nowhere, hello oblivion Hello goodbye...

(Fuck that, Ice Cube coming back at you with another motherfucking bomb) [Verse 1] I was told, 'cause I didn't witness the whole act In and out was the movement of the bozack It was hot and sweaty and lots of pushin' Then the nut came gushin' And it was hell trying to bail to the ovary With nothing but the Lord lookin over me I was white with a tail But when I reached the finish line, young black male! One cell made two, and two cells made fo' And so on, so now I'm a embryo Then I got a hunch That I'mma be on lockdown, for nine months Chillin', with my mother to guide me And nuttin' but a stomach to hide me From all that worry and bullshit Nine months later, I elbow pull and kick 'Cause my time is up and I don't care With one big push, I'm outta there June 15th, it's just my luck In 1969, a nigga is the product See Ice Cube LiveGet tickets as low as $66You might also like(Ghetto-ass nigga, you ain't shit And you ain't gon' never be shit!)

Am I the nigga you love, or the one you love to hate?

She always spits the same spit I'd rather kill the radio and listen to the rain hit Little sister needs seclusion, some how she'll discover it through the pop music Got used to the feeling of falling, but she'll never see her following Bouncing back and forth between the healing and the hollering Riding the outer ring of your own private saturn Thoughts scattered all across the grey matter Little baby doll she doesn't know what to say to ya'll The patience is short and of course the pride is way too tall Break it all smash the past like it was made of glass Ain't no other way to make it last It hurts to watch Lucy lose the dream I've had the pleasure of seeing our hero kick and scream And when she calms down I'll turn the sound down And put my arms around the little lost and found and I'll tell her that See Atmosphere LiveGet tickets as low as $34You might also like[Chorus] I will show you all you need to know You must hold on to anyone that wants you And I will love you through simple and the struggle But girl, you got to understand the modern man must hustle I will show you all you need to know You must hold on to anyone that wants you And I will love you through simple and the struggle But girl, you got to understand the modern man must hustle [Verse 3] Hush little lady don't say a word Or the rest of the village gonna know you're disturbed And if you let them know that you're vulnerable Then there ain't no stopping how far they open you slow (yo yo yo) I'm a chapter in your textbook read me like a checkbook Mistook love at first sight for a sex look Enough of the blind man's bluff I want the good stuff Trying to hook up a full belly and a foot rub The modern man's hustle I dig it, I shuffle Feed me your troubles and need me to cuddle (come on) Bundle up in my mitten and coat As cold as it gets I keep your winter afloat So let the snow fall (it's coming down) She doesn't want to understand why I still come around She looks at the mirror, she don't see what I see She holds no history of how precious she be Lay your head on my chest, speak of the stress Kick your feet up and rest, before we clean up the nest I hate to see you upset, it cramps the position And if you didn't know, you better listen (you better listen 'cause) [Chorus] I will show you all you need to know You must hold on to anyone that wants you And I will love you through simple and the struggle But girl, you got to understand the modern man must hustle I will show you all you need to know You must hold on to anyone that wants you And I will love you through simple and the struggle But girl, you got to understand the modern man must hustle14

DJ Quik
[Verse 1: DJ Quik] Finally out the muthafuckin' CPT Off to other cities and shit No longer just an underground hit Movin thangs, a local nigga made good I made a name off of making tapes for niggas in the hood And now, let me tell a little story About the places that I been to and the shit that I been through Like fightin' and shootouts and bangin and shit All because a nigga made a hit, check it 1991, it was double or nothing, not a nigga wit' hit Then we broke out with the fonky shit About bitches and niggas and gettin' drunk and off that bud I was doing the shit they hadn't heard of But foolish was I to think that it wasn't no other cities like this And they didn't like this That Compton was the home of a foot in yo' ass Where you got blast, and now that's just a thing of the past Let me tell ya why firsthand We did a show up in Oak-land and niggas was kickin up sand To them bangin' ain't nothin' new, and slangin' ain't nothin' new And for every nigga we done shot, they done shot two Straight doin' locs since the sixties, before I was born Families of young niggas mourn So I'm just letting you know That if ya plan to take a trip to the Bay Keep your hand on your clip You might also likeBecause Oakland (ha ha ha, is just like Compton) Yeah, I'm telling y'all Oakland (ha ha ha, is just like Compton, fool) [Verse 2: DJ Quik] Moving on to St. Louis, where they country as fuck With gold teeth in they mouth but they still know what's up Where it's hot as a muthafucka, hot enough to make ya cuss That's why I kept my ass on the bus But later on when it cooled off we came down and met a couple of friends Who put us up on the St. Louis cap The Smith Center, with Big Bob, Little Steve, Tojo, Biss and Rich And a couple of bitches Then they took us to a man named Gus in a store He put us down with a herringbone and shoes galore That's when I started thinking that this wasn't like home But then they had to prove me wrong 'Cause later that night after we did the show We went back to the afterset, and wouldn't ya know Yeah, Bloods and Crips start scrappin' and shootin' -- in Missouri? Damn, how could this happen? Now St. Louis (ha ha ha, is just like Compton) Yeah y'all, St. Louis (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton, nigga) [Verse 3: DJ Quik] I don't think they know, they too crazy for their own good They need to stop watchin' that Colors and Boyz n the Hood Too busy claimin Sixties, tryin to be raw And never ever seen the 'Shaw But now, back to the story that I'm tellin' We packed up the tour bus one more time and started bailin' When we arrived I saw red and blue sweatsuits When I'm thinkin' 'bout horse dookie, and cowboy boots I guess Texas ain't no different from the rest And San Antonio, was just waitin' to put us to the test And before it was over the shit got deep A nigga got shot in the face, and was dead in the street Then they came in the club thinkin' of scrappin' Little did they know that we was packin' Yeah, we was puttin' 'em down and scaring the rest, shit I even had to wear the bulletproof vest Now San Antonio (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton) Yeah, San Antonio (ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton, bitch) [Verse 4: DJ Quik] After about a month on the road We came home and I can safely say That L.A. is a much better place to stay How could a bunch of niggas in a town like this Have such a big influence on niggas so far away? But still my story ain't over 'cause I got one more to tell And the people of Colorado, they know it well It was all in the news and if you don't remember I had this show I did in Denver With a punk ass promoter in a bunk ass skating rink Bitches was lovin it, but niggas was shovin and shit To the front of the stage to throw their gang signs But I'm getting paid so I didn't pay it no mind Then I poured out my brew onto their face and chest Then they start throwin' soda, and fuckin' up my Guess When it was over two niggas needed stitches Got cracked in they jaw for being punk ass bitches Now Denver (ha ha ha, is just like Compton) Yeah, y'all Denver (ha ha ha, they wanna be like Compton, bitch) And you know that Oakland (ha ha ha, is just like Compton) Yeah, y'all, St. Louis (ha ha ha ha, we made it just like Compton, fool) Uh-huh, San Antonio (ha ha ha ha ha, is just like Compton) Yeah, and Denver (ha ha ha, they wanna be like Compton, punk ass niggas) I thought ya knew (ha ha ha, yeah)
