Straight Checkn' Em
Compton's Most Wanted Lyrics

I'm in the gangsta stroll, so you better run hide
I'm a dangerous person in the gangsta culture, so you better run and hide from me

Fools on slide, so keep your kids inside
There are dangerous people around, so keep your children safe indoors

Explicit words in this rhyme I wrote
I have used very clear and direct language in this rap I wrote

Ain't no jack move fool so please don't
I'm not trying to rob anyone, so please don't mistake my actions for that

Demonstrate your style is weak you can't compete
Show me your rap style, if it's weak then don't bother competing with me

And just like a girl, get freaked
If your rap style is weak, it's like being scared like a girl

It's the big ninety-one and Eiht's coming
It's 1991, and I'm Eiht, a Compton criminal who's coming to wreak havoc

Compton criminal fool so start running
I'm from Compton and a criminal, so anyone who comes across me should start running

And please stop biting my stuff
Don't copy my style

As the rhyme gets rough you done had enough
As my rap gets fierce, you should be tired and done with it

Of the Eiht, the gangsta mack, the pimp hustla
I'm Eiht, a gangsta, pimp, and hustler

And pistol whip a weak busta
I will inflict violence on weak individuals easily

Suckers run up and get slapped
Contemptible people who challenge me will be easily defeated

Damn, I thought you was smarter then that
I thought the person who dared to challenge me was smarter than that

Then to dis the brother who is Compton stepping
Disrespecting someone like me, who comes from Compton, is not wise

Microphone is kept as the murder weapon
The microphone, which is my weapon, will destroy my opponents

I'm straight Checkn 'Em
I'm checking everyone around, making sure that they know who I am

No shorts are taken, I give it to you long and slow
I don't take any shortcuts, I deliver my rap in a detailed and calm manner

Hard fools, drop your guard
You might come across a dangerous individual who looks tough, in that case, drop your defenses

No your not prepared, your scared, no time to sleep
You may not be ready for the danger ahead, you're scared and won't get enough rest

Cant bargain with your rap, cause its cheap
Your cheap rap can't be bartered with

And if I have to show, like Rambro
If I need to demonstrate my power like a warrior, I will

And snap a neck with some Compton effect
I can break someone's neck with the power that's unique to Compton

And get buck wild sucker
I'll get completely wild and dangerous, sucker

And serve em all like cluckers
I'll treat people who come across me like drug addicts

You just can't hang with your weak style
If your rap style is weak, you won't survive in this world

You slip right off a the pile
You will be left behind and ignored

To me, you're just another pretender
You're not real, you're just pretending to be someone you're not

So wave the white flag, boy surrender
Just accept that you've lost and stop fighting, boy

And if you a female species
If you're a woman

Tryin' to gank then girl you'll get these.
Trying to deceive me, girl, will land you in trouble

Famous vapors, walk in
I'm immensely popular and people recognize me

Papers, see you later
I'm signing autographs and would like to move ahead

You little crooked alligator
You're a mischievous person who cannot be trusted

You gets no juice
You don't receive any respect or energy from me

And if you scheme on my team then I'll cut you loose
If you have any plans to hurt or betray my team, I'll kick you out

You can't handle the format
You're not capable of following a particular format, especially in the rap industry

Punk, I'll use you as a doormat
I will use you as a stepping stool and walk all over you

I'm straight checkn em
I'm checking everyone around, making sure that they know who I am

As the MC Eiht steps from the underground
As I emerge from the underground, I'm ready to show the world what I can do

A villain from the city under siege
They see me as a dangerous person from a city that's in a state of unrest

Where the brothers jack, girlies skeeze
In my city, men rob people and women sleep around

I'm breaking them off proper
I'm rapping in a way that they have never heard before

And taking no B.S. from a copper
I'm not taking any nonsense from anyone, especially from a cop

Fools on my tip keep sweating me
Some people give me constant attention and annoy me

And trying to gank my Compton melody
Some people are trying to steal my unique style from Compton

You can't withstand the powerful blow
You're not capable of handling my powerful rap style

From a brother with a def wish
From someone who has the power and determination to succeed at all costs

Others I smother and change their description
I'm so powerful that I can change people's lives and fortunes completely

Wait a minute did I mention
In the heat of the moment, I may have forgotten to mention

That I flow punk fools with one swing
I can defeat anyone easily, like hitting a punk with a single punch

Bow down to the Compton king-pin
Show respect to me, the king of Compton's rap scene

The record spins and that spells the end
As the record plays, it heralds the end of someone's career or life

For you, my friend
This is the end for you, my dear friend

I'm straight checkn em
I'm checking everyone around, making sure that they know who I am

And the Eiht'll destroy
I'll ruin and destroy anyone who comes across me

And play you just like a toy
I'll manipulate you like a toy or a puppet

Fools try and they can't hang cause they raps just simp
Some people who try to rap like me can't survive because their rap is weak

I thought so wimp
I knew that they would fail because they were weak

I'm blasting, peeling caps, making snaps
I'm causing violence, shooting people, and taking photos for memories

For the violence in my raps
The violent actions I describe in my lyrics are real and can happen in real life

Gotta pack tools cause fools don't wanna back on my tip
I carry weapons because some people don't want to defy me

Geah, but that's cool
That's fine with me

I give em a count backwards ten to one
I give them a warning, counting from ten to one

Then they tale is done
After I give them a warning, their story is over

I give up no slack
I don't compromise or give anyone any slack

Because a sucker tried to punk my style and call it wack
Someone tried to steal my rap style and insult it by calling it useless

Now I'm back to attack
I'm back with a new rap to attack with

And give em hype, just like they finding for crack
I'm giving them something that has the same effect as cocaine, that they use for pleasure

So come on, come on, cause Eiht and Mike'll keep deckn' em
Come on and come at me because I'm Eiht and Mike, and we will defeat you

Geah fool, straight checkn em
Yeah, I'm checking everyone around, making sure that they know who I am
