Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You wanna see a young brother from the Compton tip check a grip
Well, keep looking because the C-A-M-E-O track is cookin'
Like a big ol' pot of neck bones, we'll tend to fire up
Because a young brother like the Quik is getting wired up
You know my offbeat style is flowin' all the while
I'm showin' suckers, they can't get none of this
Let alone some of this, I'm a musical genius
And if you fuck with my roll, I beat yo' ass as if we was playin' Tecmo Bowl
I'm a producer, if a rhythm is dope I choose it
And I hope you know I'd rather be dope than use it
I was a player in the penthouse and now I'm uprooted
A young stallion in them khaki suits and booted
With a .40 in hand, I'ma take a stand
I'm letting 'em know they can't fuck with the one man band
And if a soft sucker wanna know who's to blame
I let 'em know, Quik is the name
[Verse 2]
Now can we get back on the tip of the real unadulterated funk
This beat is getting funky just like a skunk
And the funk is that I step with the style I show
Let's blow these motherfuckin' nimrods doing low
What makes you think that you can even try to step to me?
I hold the dice without six on the tea leaf
I know you wanna win some, go on and try your luck
Punk, put your money on the floor and get bucked
By a pro-fession-al, rhyme hoodlum
Hoochies all over my tip because screwed 'em
One-time can't lock me up 'cause I elude 'em
And bubblegum rappers can't fade me 'cause I chewed 'em
So suckers get at me, I'm the "Q" in quotations
And the C-P-T is the location
I won't talk in riddles 'cause you don't need the strain on your brain
To make it simple, Quik is the name
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I don't compare my rhyme styles to no gat
'Cause to me that bullshit is super wack
I just remain plain and kick the facts
'Bout how a **** can't keep from getting jacked
You gotta hold your own at any cost
'Cause if you don't, boy, you might get bossed and tossed
By a sucker who claims he got more game than you
Being true is what you oughta do
Or you just might find some chrome pointed at your dome
Think fast or you might not make it home
See a **** like myself ain't going out like that
Because I found that it pays to pack a gat
In the city where survival is a full-time job, black
And it ain't giving nothing back
The .44 will keep a motherfucker tame
Behind the trigger, yo, Quik is the name
