[Intro] Wake yo' punk-ass up for the '93 shot MC Eiht's in the motherfuckin' house, gyeah And it ain't nothin' but a Compton thing, y'all And we ain't nothin' but Niggas on tha Run And this goes out to my niggas, geah [Verse 1] A fucked up childhood is why the way I am It's got me in the state where I don't give a damn Hmm, somebody, help me But, nah, they don't hear me though I guess I'll be another victim of the ghetto Ain't no escapin', 'cause I'm way too young Pops is dealin', and on top of that got moms sprung Schemin' off the top, pops never figured That he'd go down by the hands of another nigga Now my pops is gone and that ain't no good Got to follow in the footsteps of the homies from the hood And where's the role model? Niggas puttin' brew, in my fuckin' baby bottle Damn! And through all the motherfuckin' pain They done drove my moms insane So, I guess I gotta do work so I ain't finished I grow up to be a streiht up menace, geah [Chorus] Uhh Come on, y'all Streiht up menace [Verse 2] Now I'm of age, and livin' in the projects Gettin' paid off the clucks and the county checks I'm tellin' ya, fresh outta high school, never did I wonder That the motherfuckin' hood would take me under Geah, I'm kickin' it with the homies and they got the straps Off to the corner store, owned by the fuckin' (Japs) See a bitch in the right lane, so I comes with the mack Astro Van pulls a motherfuckin' jack, from the back Now he's got the strap to my homie's head Sayin': "Play that shit cool, and don't be a fool!" He shot my nigga in the fuckin' head I caught one in the shoulder, if I didn't run, I was dead Now I'm layin' in the hospital bed Thinkin' about them punk motherfuckers And my eyes is bloodshot red Geah, motherfuckers, I ain't finished Be on the lookout for the streiht up menace, geah [Chorus] Uhh Whassup, y'all? Streiht up menace Damn! Really, really Streiht up menace Damn! [Verse 3] I'm in too deep I done killed a motherfucker and I just can't sleep One-Time's tryna do a smooth- creep And on top of that Niggas after me for fuckin' one of they hoodrats I ain't got time for the fuckin' bitch's story Niggas want me gotta come to my territory And ain't no 'you can get the fist' Niggas come, and they get done on they own risk What is it all about? Should I leave or should I stay, 'cause I don't wanna punk out Oh, what should I do? The homies say: "The hood's where it's good Homeboy, I thought you knew" So in the process to show the hood my best No time to react, caught two in the chest Now look who's down, I guess I'm finished I go out like a streiht up menace, geah [Chorus] Uhh Come on, y'all Streiht up menace Damn!
