Blue Stamp
Brenk we gon' get 'em on this one

West-west y'all, hood niggas stay true (west)
My jeans still sag, the color still blue
Hood shit, nigga, spit cheah, only a few
That's what it do LOC, I don't flip
Gang shit for the grip, Compton don't trip
And it's so necessary I don't follow the speech
My motto be the hollow point slug for each
Fuck the radio, ban me, they can't stand me
Never winnin' a Grammy, still gon' jam E
Bitch give a fuck about swag
I'm a real D boy check the duffel bag
Compton 'til I die, or somebody kill
The hood got me back like that for real
Nigga, chill, got it back on lock
That real deal heavy weight flood the bock (cheah)

You reppin' the hood, Eiht?

Tryna make that shit that make you feel good
Never commercial, Eiht real hood
Who would? Nobody but your nigga
Rep to get dough just like he should (cheah)

Dance records, muthafucka slow jams
For the bitches that smoke and love real Gs
Nappy ass head niggas with tatts like hes (ch-cheah)
Please believe (uh huh), yes indeed
Eiht keep it straight till our mind's off greed (yes)

Tryna eat all top when their shit don't pop
In the land of the lost, scream hell is hot
One shot make me kill niggas chance
Indeed take a chance, be the circumstance

Overall Meaning

In MC Eiht's song "Got That," the rapper represents the Compton hood and West Coast gangsta rap. The lyrics are a celebration of Eiht's life as a real D boy, disregarding the commercial mainstream and focusing on real-life struggles of survival in the hood. He raps about the jeans that sag and how he has stayed true to hood culture. He also emphasizes the need for violent retaliation towards his enemies, a common theme in gangsta rap. Eiht makes it clear that he doesn't care about the accolades, being banned from the radio, or winning a Grammy. The focus is on representing the West, smoking good weed, and bringing the streets back. He emphasizes the need for authentic street music that speaks directly to the streets and their problems.


The lyrics illustrate the life of a Compton gangsta who is proud of his roots and is willing to do whatever it takes to survive. Eiht's flow is slow and relaxed, reflecting the gang mentality of staying calm in the face of danger. Although the lyrics are violent and raw, there's an underlying message of pride and hope for a better future. Finally, the "Got That" chorus is a brag about the things that Eiht has, such as representing the hood, smoking good weed, and repping the West.
