MC Eiht (CMW) - Streiht Up Menace (Clean) Lyrics

Geah

We in the house for the 93 shot

MC Eiht you know I'm sayin'

Ain't no fakin' the funk

It ain't nuthin' but a Compton thang

And this one is goin' out to all my homeboys rest in peace

Geah



A crooked childhood it's what the way I am

It's got me in the state where I don't give a damn, geah

Somebody helped me

But now they don't hear me though

I guess I be another victim of the ghetto

Ain't no escaping cause I'm way too young

Pops is dealin'

And on top of that got moms sprung

Screamin' of the top

Pops never figured

Daddy go down by the hands of another man

Now my pops is goin' that ain't no good

Gotta follow in the footsteps of the homies from the hood

And where's the role model?

Brothers putting brew

In my damn baby bottle, geah

And through all the stress and the pain

They all drew my mind insane

So I guess I gotta do what so I ain't finished

I grew up to be a streiht up menace, geah



Now I'm of age

And living in the projects

Gettin' paid of the clucks in the county checks

I finish fresh outta High School

Never did I wonder

That - the hood - would take me under

Geah, I'm kickin' it with the homies and it's like that

Off to the corner store owned by the dirty rats

See a freak in the right lane so I comes with a Mac

I stole van, trust a trick, pulls a jack from the back

Now he gots the strap to my homies head

Sayin' playin' cool and don't be a fool

He shot my G in the damn head

I'd caught one in the shoulder if I didn't bail I was dead

Now I'm laying in the hospital bed

Thinkin' about that fool who shot my homie and my eyes are bloodshot red

Geah, punk fools I ain't finished

Be on the lookout for the streiht up menace, geah



Uh

What's up ya'll

Streiht up menace

Geah

Streiht up menace

Geah



I'm N 2 deep

I had to kill another brother and I just can't sleep

One Time's tryin' to do a smooth - creep

And on top of that

Fools after me for diggin' one of that hoodrats

I ain't got time for the female story

Fools want me got to come to my territory

And ain't no you can get out this

Fools come and they get done on their own risk

What is it all about?

Should I leave or should I stay? Cause I don't wanna punk out

Or what should I do?

My homies say the hood

Where it's good homeboy I thought you knew

So in the process to show the hood my best

No time to react caught 2 in the chest

Now look who's down I guess I'm finished

I guess I'll die like a streiht up menace, geah



Uh

What's up y'all

Streiht up menace

Geah

Somebody help me out

Cause I'm a streiht up menace

In the house for the 93 shot

And Half Ounce Production's in full effect, geah

Peace to N-O-T-R

And all my homies that rest in peace

Cause it ain't nuthin' but a Compton thang

And we out
