I remember straight outta Compton
The life was more than a movie
Little homies in and out of ju vie
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Bump an N -W -A, Magic Johnson
1988 set the record straight
Got introduced to rap shit,
a hundred miles of runnin'
Baby boys buzzin', Eazy -E does it
the city came out in public, what?
Now finally we had a voice
And if you didn't know, come to Phil
with Cholos Lolo's, Volo's, East LA, SGV,
South Central, Watts, 818 to IE
But when we heard Compton
That's when I knew it had a future
in rappin' in the bar rio
I was in my bottle straight stompin'
The life was more than a movie
Little homies in and out of juvie
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
G's Compton, Swann, Mead,
Creepy Crawl From Eazy -E,
Can 't forget about D .O .C.
Compton flew his hip -hop essay,
Staying true to the days of way back
put gangster rap on the map
In fact, that's why I have a mic
Shouts out to the Sureños
hit you like a nigga Loft,
I remember straight outta Compton,
The life was more than a movie,
little homies in and out of juvie
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Where I'm from, where I'm from,
Put gangsta rap on the map,
Eazy -E, Ice Cube, MC Rand,
Compton, from the S .G .V.,
