Jones90 - Compton Backbone (feat. Hardhead KP) Lyrics

Some time in the 90s when I came up on the scene
Compton, California yeah that city's in my genes
Never did I gang bang man that life is not for me
Still gained respect from the C's, B's, P's
Compton Ave product but no I'm not for sale
Having all these ideas can't wait to unveil
Airplane mode I'm never on my cell
Am I with the shit or just chilling you can never tell
I admit I was timid at a younger age
That's a Freddie Gibb's line and I feel the same
Didn't try to act tough or pop dames
Fast forward I'm hard body girls are getting slain
Wtf is going on people breaking rules
Guys flashing guns and drugs on YouTube
What the heck is going on with today's youth?
If this was '92 ha Dom already told you
Hearing sirens every night
Can't sleep from the chopper in the sky
Mistake confidence as being dead inside
Thanks to Compton, California I didn't grow up to be a bitch
Hearing sirens every night
Can't sleep from the chopper in the sky
Mistake confidence as being dead inside
Thanks to Compton, California I didn't grow up to be a bitch
Planning on ways to add to my account
Contracts have middle men affecting the amount
Not understanding what you're reading can be lethal
They told me learn Spanish man I'm trying to speak legal
Like when you're young they tell you know the bible
Knowing who's hood you're in is essential for survival
Was banged on most days of the year
To the point that I walk through the city with no fear
Now I take risks to get paid do as I may
Since I grew up feeling I can die any day
That could add fright
Here's some insight
It's not what could go wrong not being scared is only right
When things go wrong most turn around and go back
Living life like entering an unfamiliar cul-de-sac
There's no dead end the odds are just stacked
Growing up in the hood is the reason I'll never crack
Hearing sirens every night
Can't sleep from the chopper in the sky
Mistake confidence as being dead inside
Thanks to Compton, California I didn't grow up to be a bitch
Hearing sirens every night
Can't sleep from the chopper in the sky
Mistake confidence as being dead inside
Thanks to Compton, California I didn't grow up to be a bitch
Hearing sirens every night
Can't sleep from the choppers in the sky
Thanks to Compton, California I didn't grow up to be a bitch
Hearing sirens every night
Can't sleep from the choppers in the sky
Thanks to Compton, California I didn't grow up to be a bitch
Ooooooh
Oooooooooh
Can't sleep from the choppers in the sky
Sirens every night
