DJ Quik - Born And Raised In Compton (Original Recording) from 1987. This is the first verse from Quik's single "Born And Raised In Compton". He recycled this verse and put it on a different beat as we know now as the single from his debut album Quik Is The Name.
This recording can be found on his first release Red Tape (Mixtape) from 1987 with 2nd II None & AMG. This verse was on the full length recording of Niggaz Trippin'.
Lyrics:
Now everybody wants to know the truth about a brother named Quik
I come from the school of the sly, wicked and the slick
A lotta people already know excatly where it's at
Cause it's the home of the jackers and the crack
(Compton) Yeah, that's the name of the hometown
I'm goin down in the town where my name is all around
The suckers just be havin a fit, and that's a pity
But I ain't doin nothin but (claimin my city)
See, my lyrics I'm doublin up and provin to suckers that I can throw
I'm passin a natural ten or four or six or eight before I go
Yes, I'm definitely freestylin, all the while still profilin
Never a trickster, DJ Quikster steals the show
So now that's how I'm livin
I do as I please, you see
A younger brother that's up on reality
Cause everybody knows you have to be stompin
If you're born and raised in Compton
