Lyrics

Straight Outta Compton (Clean)

[Intro: Dr. Dre]

You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge

[Verse 1: Ice Cube]

Straight outta Compton, it's a crazy brotha named Ice Cube

From the stupid-dope gang wit a attitude

When I'm called off, I gotta sawed-off

Kick knowledge and bodies are hauled off

You too boy if you get with me

The police are gonna have to come and get me

Off yo back, that's how I'm going out

For the sucka dumb brothas that's showing out

Some start to mumble, they wanna rumble

Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo

Going off on everybody like that

With bass that's droppin' in your face

So give it up smooth

Ain't no telling when I'm down for a jack move

Here's a murder rap to keep you dancing

With a crime record like Charles Manson

Yo Dre, what's the sound of my tool?

Now you know that I'm about to act a fool

Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe

I'm knocking suckas out the box, daily

Yo weekly, monthly and yearly

Until the whole damn world see clearly

That I'm down with the capital C-P-T

Boy, you can't step to me

So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck down

Cause Ice Cube will damn sure buck 'em down

As I leave, believe I'm stomping

But when I come back boy, I'm coming straight outta Compton

[Eazy E]

Yo Ren

[MC Ren]

Whassup

[Eazy E]

Tell em where you from

[Verse 2: MC Ren]

Straight outta Compton, a brotha with his finger on the trigger

More punks I take out, my rep gets bigger

I'm a ruthless villain and you know this

But the suckas in the public won't show this

But I don't really care, I'mma make my snaps

If not from the records, from jacking the craps

It's like burglary, the definition is jacking

And when illegally armed it's called packing

Knock a fool out in a sec

I find somebody talkin' trash and put em in check

So if you're at a show in the front row

I'mma call you a sucka if you don't go with the flow

You'll probably get mad like a punk is supposed to

But that shows me, yo, you're composed to

A crazy young brotha from the street

Attitude legit cause I'm ready to hit

MC Ren controls the automatic

For any fool in my way that starts static

Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself

Every time I pull a AK off the shelf

The security is maximum and that's a law

R-E-N spells Ren but I'm raw

See, cause people know me as a villain

The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killing

That's taking place without a clue

And once you're on the scope, you know you're through

Look, you might take it as a trip

But a brotha like Ren is on a gangsta tip

Straight outta Compton

[Dr. Dre]

Eazy is his name and the boy is coming

[Verse 3: Eazy E]

Straight outta Compton

Is a brother that'll smother your mother

And make your sister think I love her

Dangerous young brotha raising hell

And if I ever get caught, I make bail

See I don't really care, that's the problem

When I see a police, I don't dodge him

But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while

And when I see the punk pass, I smile

To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showing suckas driving

But don't know where the hell they going, just rolling

Looking for the one they call Eazy

But here's a flash, they never seize me

Ruthless

Never seen like a shadow in the dark

Except when I unload

You see I'll get over the hesitation

And hear the scream of the one who got the lead penetration

Feel a little gust of wind and now I'm jetting

And leave a memory no one'll be forgetting

So what about the girl who got shot [garbled]

You think I give a damn about a girl, I ain't a sucker

This is the autobiography of the E

And if you ever mess with me

You'll get taken by a stupid dope brother who will smother

Word to the mother, yeah!

Straight outta Compton

[Dre]

That's the way it goes in the city of Compton, boy
