Never gave a f*ck and I still don't 
So save your lectures  I'ma gangbang for the rest of my life 
A young BG deranged in the brain 
The youngest motherfucker on the chain gang 

Yeah I still slang my thangs like a G 
Really can I make your ass rest in peace? 
No need to waste my energy squabbin' 
Quick to pull the trigger  put your ass in a coffin 

Never been a baller but I trap many ballin' 
Homies you 'know I don't give a f*ck, I was starvin' 
You better hide your daughter 'cause I'm out to get laid with dick 
and have her sprung on this black ass nigga 

Straight up out the gutter, have her stealin' from her daddy and her mother 
Sellin' rocks to the scandalous ass clockers 
Ready to meet my snaps, yeah I'm cool like that 
and I never gave a f*ck about a stupid ass hoodrat 

[Chorus] 
Bitches ridin' on my bit 
Niggas hit me up and shit 
But I'm from the Eastside 
Where the niggas do or die 
Representin' like a dream 
'Cause Circle's deep I thought you knew 

Uh, uh, uh 
As I crack dice from one hood to the next 
Doin' credit card schemes and cashin' hot checks 
I got a 9 for any nigga that come runnin' up 

Keepin' motherfuckers on the duck 
You can give a this or that sling, the yea or the tracks 
but when your chick starts choking ya, you gots ta break me off 
I sweat ya like Keith until ya give me my ends 

If a nickel bag is sold in the park I want in 
In the middle of the night when the spot's not hot 
you can find Billy Boy rollin' down your block 
Hittin' switches 'cause your bitch is gettin' paid, 'cause that's my way 

and all the hoes still want to f*ck (You know we do) 
I bleed like the next man but when the gat is in my hand 
You can bet my monkey ass is comin' out on top 
LA hustlers can't live without money 

So before I make sense I gots ta make a knot 
'Cause I can't f*ck without my hoes 
And I can't hit no switch without the 6-4 
Everybody want to f*ck a nigga like me 
but I won't be gettin back in the CPT 

[Chorus]

Niggas tryin to give me stuff 
Billy Boy don't give a f*ck 
First I warn you with my rhyme 
then I'll f*ck you with my 9 

Don't give your plees 'cause I don't bang 
But I'm down to fully slang 
40 Thevz end down your crew 
'Cause Circle's deep I thought you knew 

I fold a rapper like a dollar just to hear his punk ass holler 
Walk into his hood and grab his homies by the collar 
Stock em all up like a pack of punk bitches 
Now I got his whole crew wearin heels and doin dishes 

You don't want to see me out the motherfuckin front 
Don't you take this shit for granted just 'cause niggas call me Cool 
R-E-S-P-E-C-T 

C-O-O-L-I-O G 

M to the A, A to the D 
A Circle full of niggas that you don't want to see 
You ain't nothin' but a pistol that's fuckin with a missile 
I chew your ass like gristle til the ref blows the whistle 

Sing a song of six packs, a pocket full of snaps 
Ain't no punks in my motherfuckin' pack 
See I use to be broke now I blow indo smoke 
First you diss my city then you choke 

[Chorus]

C-O-M-P-T-O-N 

Punk motherfuckers get two to the chin 
I don't give a f*ck what ya got or who you know 
Step to the Maadness, your ass gotta go 
Ain't a damn thing changed but only the year 

East Coast, West Coast get the [unknown] 
You don't want to see my crew 
'Cause Circle's deep I thought you knew
