The Lyrics
What is this clap trap?
Why do they hear rap?
They think it is cool
To wear baggy pants
So low that it shows
Half of their butt
Rap is such a bore
Sounds like a cold sore
They are so naive
I'm stupid & I'm violent
I'm a gangsta on my own
I'll stay a week & get shot at &
Fly Southwest back home
I'm such a stupid moron
But forgive me
'cause i'm tweaked
Every town must have a place
Where phony gangstas meet
Abandoned crack houses
Popping up on every street
Go to South Central L.A.
How i love ya, how i love ya
How i love ya, how i love ya Compton!
How i love ya, how i love ya
How i love ya, how i love ya
Oh, my hair is being shaved as we speak!
Every town must have a place
Where phony gangstas meet
Abandoned crack houses
Popping up on every street
Go to South Central L.A....
Hotcha!
First i'll get a tattoo
And then perhaps a red doo rag
To go around my head
Some Sean John sweaters
And a pair of Fubu pants
I will ask the chamber of commerce
How to get to Crenshaw
And smoke an awful lot of crack
I will walk in broken glass
I will have a glazed, glassy-eyes stare in my eye at all times
I will hate everyone
I will hate the police as they pull over every brother in town
I can't sleep...
I will, I will go to a house
That's, that's what I will do
I will go to a house
Where there's a fresh crack supply
the playas all live together
I will join a gangsta rap posse
I will be their road manager
And i will stay a week
And get the crabs
But i won't care
Why do they hear rap?
They think it is cool
To wear baggy pants
So low that it shows
Half of their butt
Rap is such a bore
Sounds like a cold sore
They are so naive
I'm stupid & I'm violent
I'm a gangsta on my own
I'll stay a week & get shot at &
Fly Southwest back home
I'm such a stupid moron
But forgive me
'cause i'm tweaked
Every town must have a place
Where phony gangstas meet
Abandoned crack houses
Popping up on every street
Go to South Central L.A.
How i love ya, how i love ya
How i love ya, how i love ya Compton!
How i love ya, how i love ya
How i love ya, how i love ya
Oh, my hair is being shaved as we speak!
Every town must have a place
Where phony gangstas meet
Abandoned crack houses
Popping up on every street
Go to South Central L.A....
Hotcha!
First i'll get a tattoo

And get the crabs
But i won't care

DKTOS, but who can argue with the sentiment?
Ludwig, the song is from the Frank Zappa/Mothers of Invention album titled We're Only In it For The Money. The album cover is a parody of the Beatles' Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Some HILARIOUS lines, Tim, and overall great work! "..stay a week and get shot at..fly SW back home" LOL!! 5s!! (yo)
So dull, So old. Give me something new.
I totally agree with the topic... and love Frank Zappa, so just for that, you get 555
Boring and not funny. You must be a 65 year old white man. The Zappa song rules though.
Sorry, but rappers at least know how to pace lyrics. 2.
