_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Yes, yes, y'all.
And you don't stop.
To the beat, y'all.
And you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all.
And you don't stop.
A one, two, y'all.
And you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all.
And you don't stop.
To the beat, Compton.
This'll be the short shot.
Come on.
I met this girl [F] when I was ten years old.
And what [C#] I love most, she had so much [Cm] soul.
She was old school when I was just a student.
She was on 14th Avenue.
[C] Throughout my life, she would be there for [Cm] me on the regular.
Not a church girl, she was secular.
Not [C] about for money.
No stuff was much checkered her, but I respected her.
She hit me in the heart.
A few [C#] New York folks had dinner in the [Cm] park.
But she was there for me, and I was there for her.
Pull out [C] a chair for her, turn on the air for her, and just cool out.
Cool out [Cm] and listen to her.
[C#] Sitting on bone, wishing that I could [C] do eventually if it was meant to [A#] be, that it would be, because
we [C] related physically and mentally.
And she was fun then.
I'd be [A#] geeky when she'd come around.
[C] Slim was fresh, yo, when she was underground, original.
Pure, [B] untapped, but a down sister.
[C#] Boy, I tell you, I miss her.
[C] Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't [Cm] stop.
To the beat, y'all, if you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
One, two, y'all, if you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
Compton's, [C#m] y'all, if [Cm] you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
You at yo, we got the whole gang. _ _ _

_ [A#] I'm cool, because around [C] the same time, I went away to school [Cm] and I'm a man of expanded.
So why should I stand in her way?
[C] She'd probably get her money in LA.
And she did study.
She got big pub, but [A#] what was found?
She said [C] that the pro black was going out of style.
She said Afrocentricity [A#] was of the past.
She [C] got in the R&B and Pulse, bass and jazz.
Now black music is [Cm] black music and it's all good.
I wasn't [C#] salty.
She was with the boys in the hood, [Cm] because I was new for her.
She was becoming well-rounded.
I thought [C] it was dope how she was on that freestyle.
Now she's just having fun.
Not worried about anyone and you can [F] tell by how his tongue bust.
[Cm] Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't [G] stop.
Sit the beat, y'all, if [Cm] you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
One, two, y'all, if you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
For good to be [B] calm, gotta be the sure [Cm] shot.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
Check it on check it.
Mm-mm, bust it.
I might have failed to mention that this chick was creative.
Once [C] the mayor got to her, he called to the native.
[Cm] Told her if she got an image and a gimmick, [A#] then she can make [C#] money.
And she did it like a dummy.
[C] Now I see her in commercials.
She's [A#] universal.
She used to [C] only swing it with the inner city circle.
Now she be in the verge, looking rocky, dressed hip.
And on some dumb skunk when she comes to the city.
Talking about popping rocks, serving rocks, and [A#] hitting switches.
Now [C#] she's a gangster rolling with gangsta.
[Cm] She always smoking blunts and getting drunk.
Telling me sad [C] stories.
Now she only works with the funk.
[Fm]
Stressing how [Cm] hardcore and real she is.
She was really [C] the realest before she got in the show biz.
I did her, not [Cm] just to say I did it, but I'm committed.
[C] But so many did it that she's just not the same, letting all these [C] goofs do her.
I see [C#] her slamming her and taking her to the sewer.
[C] But I'm going to take her back, hoping that this [A#] don't stop.
Because who I'm [C#] talking about, y'all, is hip-hop.
[Cm] _
_ _ To the beat, y'all, if you don't stop.
[C] Yes, yes, y'all, if [G] you don't stop.
The mainframe, yo, they gotta be the sure shot.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
To the beat, y'all, if [C] you don't stop.
Yes, yes, y'all, if you don't stop.
One, two, comp senses go to drop. _
