Verse 1
Em
Aight
Now everybody wants to know the
truth about a brother named Quik
I come from a school of the sly,
wicked and the slick
A lot of people already know
exactly where it's at
'Cause it's the home of the jackers
and the crack
(Compton) Yeah,
that's the name of the hometown
G
Em
I'm throwing down in the town where
my name is all around
The suckers just be having a fit,
and that's a pity
But I ain't doing nothing but
(claiming my city)
See, my lyrics I'm doubling up and proving
to suckers that I can throw 'em
I'm passing a natural ten or four
or six or eight before I go
Yes, I'm definitely freestyling, all
the while still profiling
Never a trickster,
DJ Quikster steals the show
So now that's how I'm living,
I do as I please, you see
A younger brother that's
up on reality
'Cause everybody knows
you have to be stomping
G
If you're born and raised
Em
in Compton
Verse 2
Em
(Born and raised)
(Born and raised)
(I was born and raised in
Compton)

Verse 3
Em
Now Compton is the place where
the homeboys chill, you see
G
But then I found that it wasn't
Em
no place for me
'Cause way back in the day somebody
musta wanted me to quit
G
Because they broke in my house
Em
and cold stole my shit
They musta thought that I was
gonna play the punk role
Just because my equipment got stole
But I ain't going out like
no sucker- ass clown
They found they couldn't
keep a dope nigga down
G
So here's some bass in your face,
motherfucker silly sucker-
Ass clocker, now you're ducking,
'cause you can't stop a brother
Em
Like the Quiksta, because
I'm true to the game
You're lame, and things ain't
gon' never be the same
'Cause a nigga like the Quik is taking over
I really don't think I should
have to explain it
Oh yeah, I'm a dog,
but my name ain't Rover
And I'm the kinda nigga that's
feeling no pain
Sometimes I have to wear
a bulletproof 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
I'm coming like this,
and I'm coming directly
'Cause suckers get dain- bramaged if I'm
doing damage quite effectively
Rhyming is a battle zone,
and suckers have no win
G
'Cause I'm a veteran from
Em
the C- O- M- P- T- O- N
Verse 4
Kick it
Em

to thank Shabby Blue
And we out
Peace
