About This Track

'BPT' is a territorial declaration from YG's 2014 debut album 'My Krazy Life', produced by DJ Mustard. The title abbreviates Bompton, the Bloods-affiliated pronunciation of Compton, whilst TTP stands for Tree Top Piru, the gang set YG claims. The track maps his allegiance in precise geographic terms: Westside, 400 block, Spruce Street. YG recounts his initiation over minimal Mustard production, detailing the ritual of being "put on" through a fistfight that he navigates with disciplined restraint. The second verse shifts to county jail and the rapper's frustration at being credited with reviving West Coast rap whilst facing ingratitude and duplicity from peers. He name-checks neighbourhood figures and contrasts his own code of silence under legal pressure with the performative toughness of others. The song functions as both autobiography and warning, YG staking his credentials through lived detail rather than bluster. Released in March 2014, it runs just over two minutes, the brevity matching the directness of its claims.

"BPT" is a track by YG, from the album My Krazy Life, released 18th March 2014. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

BPT

[Produced by DJ Mustard]

[Intro]

Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga

[Hook]

Nigga, I'm from BPT

(Westside, westside, westside, westside nigga)

TTP

(What block? What block? What block? What block?)

400, Spruce Street

(What y'all doin'? What y'all doin'?)

(What y'all doin'? What y'all doin'?)

Nigga, kill off all beef

[Verse 1]

I’m a Westside get brackin' in the back like what’s happnin'

That 40 Glock snap like Insta, ain't no need for a caption

I got put on by four niggas, wasn't need for no bandage

I did my stuff like a young nigga, that's how I'm s'posed to handle it

'Hamad threw a right, duck, hit him with the left, bop-bop!

Two to the chin, bop! One to the chest

One to the ribs, the haymaker didn't connect

Dropped him but didn't stomp him cause that's disrespect

That's how I got put on

Tree Top Bompton, yeah I got put on

It was hard in the hood

I was rappin', my homies sellin' hard in the hood

I know Game from cedar block, Dot from the West

That was [static] that popped what's his name in his chest

Just got a call, the homies just got bust on

Niggas gotta go, we can't prolong

[Hook]

Nigga, I'm from BPT

(Westside, westside, westside, westside nigga)

TTP

(What block? What block? What block? What block?)

400, Spruce Street

(What y'all doin'? What y'all doin'?)

(What y'all doin'? What y'all doin'?)

Nigga, kill off all beef

[Verse 2]

I was in the county with lions, most of these rappers be lyin'

Cause when I seen 'em, they be quiet, the definition of silence

That's a principal of proof, the definition of logic

That this nigga is a bitch, every chance he get he's dodgin'

I brought back this West Coast shit

And this the mothafuckin' thanks I get?

All the licks I split, from the houses I hit

They brought him more cases in jail but a nigga ain't snitch

That's how it's s'posed to go down

Held it down, didn't nobody else go down

Give you a blind date, have my bitch pick you up

Then have one of my Top members stick you up

I know Nipsey from 6-0, C-Hood from 10-4

Tiny Bone from 40 Crip, that’s my kinfolk

My whole family tried to save me but it didn't work

Momma know I've been bangin' lately, nigga
