Wanted
Compton's Most Wanted Lyrics

Just like a prisoner, because I'm brown with some black skin
Being brown and having some black skin makes people perceive me as a prisoner.

A fugitive, running cause I just won't give in.
I'm running away from the police because I refuse to give in.

and its hard when it's black on black.
It's difficult when black people commit crimes against other black people.

Gotta blast another brother trying to scheme on my stack.
I have to kill someone who is trying to take my money.

For me to be a busta, oh no.
I refuse to be a coward.

Police is hunting a brother like an animal.
The police are chasing me as if I'm an animal they need to capture.

So I play my cards right, watch my back.
I'm careful and cautious of my actions, and keep an eye over my shoulder.

Because the enemy is scheming, trying to kick a rat pack.
My enemies are forming a plan to destroy me and the people I work with.

Straight up, a gangsta, ain't got time for faking.
I am a real gangster and don't have time for pretending.

Label me a pusher, dead presidents I'm making.
People call me a drug dealer because I make a lot of money.

A brother who's young, got the neighbourhood sprung.
I am a young person who has many people in my area interested in me.

Police riding my tip, if they catch me I'm hung.
The police are following me closely, and if they catch me, I'll be in trouble.

But no, I don't sleep as they creep. Take a peep out the scene,
I don't sleep well as the police quietly follow me. I scope out the area.

cause they trying to stop the flow of my green.
The police are trying to stop me from making money by selling drugs.

So I keep stepping, and bailing hard because a brother is up on it.
I keep moving quickly and working hard because someone is after me.

Catch me if you can cause fool, Eiht is wanted.
I'm hard to catch because I am wanted by the police.

I lace up my kicks, because a brother's on the run.
I put on my sneakers because I am running away from the police.

Chase me down with a gun, because my lyrics weigh a ton.
The police are chasing me with a gun because my lyrics are heavy and powerful.

Now I'm sweating cause you're sweating me big time.
I'm nervous because the police are following me closely.

Hang me up by a rope for my murder rhyme.
The police might hang me for the violent things I say in my lyrics.

No shorts given, that's how I'm living in the 91.
I don't take shortcuts in life, that's how I live in 1991.

Slide my car in, and smoking with my Mike gun.
I drive my car and smoke while carrying my gun.

pop off 2 lyrics so they can slack up.
I say a few things to make the police back off.

If it gets too deep Mike's got the back up.
If the situation is critical, Mike will provide backup.

Packin' tools, droppin' fools, I'm from Compton
I carry weapons and shoot people. I'm from Compton.

so that should be your first rule.
You should remember that I'm dangerous and come from Compton.

Here comes the pick of the weak, so don't sneek.
People who are weak are coming for me, so don't sneak around.

If you do, Eiht'll take 2 to your cheek.
If you do try to sneak up on me, I'll shoot you in the face twice.

So don't get uptight if you a victim.
Don't get upset if you become a victim of my violence.

Got a gang of gangsta rhymes so let me kick em.
I have many violent and gangster lyrics to share, so let me express them.

Geah, I can't be stopped, cause I'm up on it.
I cannot be stopped because I am aware of everything.

And a brother like Eiht's still wanted.
The police are still after me because I am a serious criminal.

So now I break faster, not because I want to, cause I got ta.
Now I move more quickly, not because I want to but because I have to.

Now your homies after me because I grabbed my mike and shot a-
Now my enemies are after me because I used my microphone to threaten them.

nother sucker dead, lyrics straight to your head.
I have killed before with my lyrics, and they have come straight to people's heads.

Cannot bite, no. The Compton cyco.
I'm unstoppable and crazy. I'm from Compton.

Quick on the gank, so you might get shanked.
I'm quick with my weapon and might stab you.

And I don't need a gatt just to jack your bank.
I can rob you without any weapons, just with my physical strength.

Another stick-up kid just got crazy.
I have robbed another person who went insane because of it.

Try to double cross the Eiht you'll be pushing up daisies.
If you try to deceit me, you'll end up dead.

Or you can get the backwash
Instead, you can get the unwanted consequences of

from the 40 that's poured on the ground, so I clown.
other people pouring the rest of their alcohol on the ground. I joke around with this.

So your mad, but your bad and you press your luck.
You're angry, but you're also ambitious and taking risks.

But you still want to nag, yeah you'll get stuck.
But if you keep annoying me, you'll be in trouble.

So who's got the Compton funk?
Who else is from Compton and represents it?

And it's illegal if you bump it too loud in your trunk.
It's not legal to play your music too loudly in your car.

So now you know that Eiht's your top rap dealer.
Now you understand that I'm the best rapper from Compton.

But you a punk ass New Jack squeeler.
But you're just a weak and inexperienced person.

that's why I'm wanted.
That's why the police are chasing me and I'm wanted.
