Here are the chords that I use. They are actually quite simple. The fingerings
that are in parenthesis () are optional if you want to simplify further.
The barre chords are handy if you want to play the simplified version. Or, if
you feel you can do the (Medium) level chords, everything get's played in the
first position. To those of you who can handle them, just ignore the (barre)
chords.
I suggest that everyone play the chords in the first postion, but if you're
anxious to play for your "homies", use the simple chords.
Cheers,
Larry

VERSE 1
Woke up quick, at about noon
D(barre) Ebdim
Just thought that I had to be in Compton soon
A(barre) Fdim
I gotta get drunk, before the day begins
Before my mother starts bitchin' about my friends
VERSE 2
About to go and damn near went blind
D(barre) Ebdim
Young niggas on the path throwin' up gang sings
A(barre) Fdim
I went in the house to get the clip
With my mack 10, on the side of my hip
VERSE 3
I bailed outside and I pointed my weapon
D(barre) Ebdim
And just as I thought, the fools kept steppin'
A(barre) Fdim
I jumped in the fro', hit the juice on my ride
I got front and back and side to side
Bridge
Then I let the Alpine play
D(barre) Ebdim
I was pumpin' new shit by NWA
A(barre) Fdim
It was gangsta gangsta at the top of the list
Then I played my own shit it went somethin' like this
VERSE 5
Crusin' down the street in my six fo'
Jockin' the bitches, slappin' the ho's
I went to the park to get the scoop
Knuckleheads out there, cold shootin' some hoops
VERSE 6
a car pulls up, who can it be
It's a fresh El Camino, rollin' kilo-G
A(barre) Fdim
He rolls down the window and starts to say
It's all about makin' that G.T.A.
CHORUS
Cuz' the boyz in the hood are always hard
Come talkin' that trash, and we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me boy I ain't said shit
VERSE 7
Bored as hell, and I wanna' to get ill
D(barre) Ebdim
So I go to a place where my home boys chill
A(barre) Fdim
Fellas out there tryin' to make that dolla'
I pulled up in the six four impalla
VERSE 8
I'm greeted with a forty and I start drinkin'
D(barre) Ebdim
And from the eight ball my breath starts stinkin'
A(barre) Fdim
I gotta get my girl to rock that body
before I left, I hit the Bacardi
VERSE 9
Pull to the house, get her outta the pad
D(barre) Ebdim
Dumb bitch said somethin' to make me mad,
A(barre) Fdim
She said somethin' that, I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy ass weave
VERSE 10
Started talkin' shit, wouldn't you know
D* (mute and play nothing here)
I reached back like a pimp and I slapped the ho'
A(barre) Fdim
and her father stood up, and started to shout
So I threw a right cross and knocked his old ass out
CHORUS
Cuz' the boyz in the hood are always hard
Come talkin' that trash, and we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me boy I ain't said shit
OUTRO
Use the same chords as the verses, but do some fancy finger picking...
Punk ass trippin' but it's all ri-------ght;
Homie scored a ki, he's gonna fly, punk ass fly...
