One Time Gaffled 'em Up
Compton's Most Wanted Lyrics

Tired of the mother fucking jackin
Sick and tired of people constantly stealing and robbing others

Boys that be jackin
People who commit robberies and thefts

Police, want to front; want to jack
The police force is perceived as being corrupt and attempting to take advantage of situations

On a day at the spot where the homies be chillin
The setting is a typical gathering spot where Compton residents relax and talk

Gossiping about the latest Compton killin
Discussing the most recent homicide that occurred in the Compton area

Brothers is deep, and no time to sleep
The group feels a sense of severity and urgency; they can't afford to be relaxed or off-guard

The Boys on the tip, and they trying to creep
The police force is on the prowl, attempting to catch criminals in the act

Had a G-ride, so I suggest that we punch it
Since they had a getaway vehicle, it was proposed that they immediately leave the scene

Grover was driving, and doing about a hundred
Grover, the driver, was driving at incredibly high speeds

Hit a corner on the plata. Checked the spot
The driver turned a corner and quickly assessed the area to ensure it was safe

Seen the P.D. lights. Down the spot was hot
The group noticed the police lights coming from where they were trying to go and knew the area was no longer safe

Ed Dog was cuffin'. Threw in the back
One member of the group, Ed, was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car

Chiste and Lil' Rock jacked for selling that crack
Two other individuals, Chiste and Lil' Rock, were arrested for selling crack cocaine

E, man, hit the fence. Yelled out, "See you later!"
One member of the group, E, ran and jumped over a fence while telling the others he'd see them later

Shark then pulled out the big blue blazer
Shark produced a gun, a blue Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver

Dookie and Boo didn't know what to do
Two other members of the group, Dookie and Boo, were unsure of what action to take

Jumped in the car with D.T, bumpin' CMW
Dookie and Boo got into a car driven by D.T, with music by Compton's Most Wanted

Hit a you around the corner. Did it work? I wonder
The group made a u-turn around a corner in hopes of evading the police, though the success of their plan was uncertain

C.P.D. on my ass, and they burnin' rubber
The Compton Police Department was in pursuit of the group's vehicle

Didn't want to be like Brother and Fly: locked up
The group did not want to suffer the same fate as Brother and Fly, who were also arrested and incarcerated

So I downed the Bird that was still in my cup
To avoid being caught with an open container, one member of the group quickly finished his alcoholic beverage before the police caught up to them

Parked the G-ride, and I started to bail
The group abandoned their vehicle and began to run away on foot

'Cause my trip was to home, not the County Jail
The group's goal was to return home and avoid being booked into the county jail

Go Go fled 'cause the homie was kind of leary
One member of the group, Go Go, ran away because he was unsure of how the situation would play out

I wasn't sweating shit, 'cause they had nothing on me
One member of the group was not concerned about getting arrested because they believed they had not done anything wrong

Bam looked bag. They were named. Now his Pony
One member of the group, Bam, had his bag searched and was found to be carrying illegal substances, resulting in his arrest

They peeped out the pager. Said, "How much did it cost?
The police investigated the group's pager and questioned them about how much money they had spent on illegal drugs

By the way MC Eiht, where's the dope you toss?"
The police accused MC Eiht of disposing of drugs and asked where he had thrown them

(Eight): "Me sell dope? Um sir. I'm a rap singer
MC Eiht denied any involvement in drug dealing and explained that he was a musician

They ran a warrant check. I must have had good luck
The police ran a records check on the group and did not find anything incriminating

But the homie who ran. Mmmm One Time gaffled him up
One member of the group who had run away from the police was eventually caught and arrested

Had a show to do on a Thursday night
The group had a musical performance scheduled for a Thursday evening

Me, Chill, Slip, and Tom rolling in Big White
Four members of the group, including Chill, Slip, Tom, and the artist, were traveling in a white vehicle

Loaded as fuck, bumping "The Cactus."
The group was heavily intoxicated and playing music by The Cactus

I hope the Stoney Boys don't try to jack us
The group was worried about getting robbed by the Stoney Boys

Gas tank was loaded, and so was the E
The car had a full tank of gas, and the passengers were also high

Kind of buzzed of the sack of the good E.T.
The group was feeling the effects of using E.T. (a type of ecstasy)

Chill was bustin' raps about the good ol' days
Chill was rapping about the past, specifically fond memories

Switching to another form about how he get paid
Chill changed the subject touting how much money he makes

Just then the Boys came behind the truck
The police appeared behind the group's vehicle without them noticing

Tom looked out and said, "What the fuck?!?!"
Tom saw the police and expressed surprise and frustration

A motor cycle cop riding hard on the tip
The police officer was riding a motorcycle in pursuit of the group's vehicle

Had to clown his ass once. N' said, "This ain't no C.H.I.P.S!"
One member of the group made a sarcastic comment to the police officer, referencing the fictional California Highway Patrol

Homie had a warrant for a D.U.I.
The police officer had a warrant for the arrest of one member of the group for driving under the influence

And in my pocket was a fat sack of Chocolate Thai
The artist had a large amount of marijuana in his pocket

Damn! (damn) Now it's time to get nervous
The group was worried about getting in trouble with the police now that the marijuana had been found

Starey Clown caught back em
One officer searched the group while others kept an eye out

Dumb Dumb walked up and started asking for names
Another officer approached and began to ask the group for identification

They he peeped me out and asked what's the gang I claim
The police officer singled out the singer and asked him about possible gang affiliation

The fact that I'm black is the reason you jack me
The singer believes he was only stopped by the police because of his race

I've got to gang bang 'cause of the hat and khaki's
The singer sarcastically implies that the police think he's a gang member solely because of his clothing choices

If I was in the hood, the dummy wouldn't have found me
The artist assumes he would not have been caught if he was in his neighborhood

He said, "Shut the fuck up 'fore you're headed for the County!"
The police officer threatened to book the artist into the county jail if he did not stop talking

He was already late. The fools had they nerves
The police officer was already behind schedule, since he had to wait for a tow truck to impound the group's vehicle

To have us sitting contest on the edge of the curb
The group was ordered to sit on the curb and wait for the police to finish their investigation

Twas showt, shorter that showt. What can I say?
The situation ended up being quick and uneventful for the group

"Keep on talking. Go ahead. Make my day
The police officer indirectly threatens the group by allowing them to keep talking and potentially incriminating themselves

He started to acting tough n' Chill thought he was bluffin
One member of the group, Chill, believed the police officer was pretending to be tough

But in a second or two, the Boys started the cuffin
The police officers swiftly arrested the members of the group

Bud in our pockets. Brew in our cups
The group was found to be in possession of marijuana and alcohol

No time for explanations. One Time gaffled us up
The group was not given the chance to explain their situation before being arrested by the police
