[10 second instrumental to open] [The Game] Aight Now everybody wanna know the truth about a n***a named Game I come from the hub and every ghetto ain't the same A lot of people already know exactly where it's at Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack [whispered] - Compton Yeah that's the name of my hometown I'm goin down, in the town, where my name is all around And n***az just be hatin and sh**, that's a pity But I ain't doin nuttin but claimin my city See my lyrics are double or nothin provin to s**ers I can throw 'em Pa** 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-fo', so And that's how I'm 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 you're born and raised in Compton [Chorus] [quiet scratching:] "Born and raised in Compton" [The Game] Nowww Compton is a place, where all my n***az chill dog 'til I found out, the streets get real dog 'Bout 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 gon' play the b**h role Cause I lived through fo' five six holes But I ain't goin out like no f*ggot-a** clown They found, they couldn't keep a gangsta n***a down So here's the burner in your face motherf**er silly s**er a** clucker now you're duckin cause you can't stop a Y.G. Gangsta, cause I'm true to my game You're lame, and thangs ain't gon' never be the same Cause a n***a like the Game is takin over I really don't think I should have to explain Oh yeah I'm a dog but my name ain't Rover And I'm the kinda n***a that's 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 motherf**er never ceasin to impress My name is young Game so you can f**, the rest I'm comin like this and I'm comin directly Cause n***az gettin all stirred up, I'm doin damage quite effectively Rhymin is a battlezone and n***az can't win Cause I'm a gangsta from the C-O-M-P-T-O-N
