Voiceover, Dialog, Spoken Text, Script, or Lyrics

Where I grew up, there were a lot of people there that weren't even proud to say they were from Compton. Eazy was adamant to put Compton on the map. Saw everybody representing their city like Brooklyn and Queens, Bronx, Uptown. He was like, yo, why ain't nobody talking about our cities? We wanted to come out and make a statement and make everybody pay attention to what we had to say. A lot of people in Compton really supported what we were doing. This is probably one of the reasons why we decided to call the record Straight Outta Compton, so we could show where we're coming from, that we're proud of where we're coming from and that everybody else that's in our area can be proud of it also. (Lyrics) I remember when I got started My intention was to win But a lot of shit changed since then Some more friends became enemies in the quest of victory But I made a vow, never let this shit get to me I let it pass
