Compton Isn't Too Far Away Lyrics - Afroman

COMPTON ISN'T TOO FAR AWAY 

by Afroman 

When I was young we wanted to get out the ghetto 

But after we moved out of the ghetto 

It was hard to get things we needed 

I took a picture in the hood 

Standing by the door 

White T shirt and black khakis 

Sagging kind of low 

I see the corner that I worked 

With my homies in the back 

LAPD searching us 

Looking for some crack 

I don't need to be the king of the world 

All I need is some activator 

For my Jehri curl 

CHORUS: 

Compton isn't too far away 

Neither is South Central LA 

No matter what the cops try and say 

We move from South Central 

To the desert of the real high 

Palmdale-Lancaster 

Blue suburban sky 

When I come home late at night 

The sheriff harasses me 

He puts me in the choke hold 

So bad I can barely breath 

I'm the hungry hustler Afroman 

I'm going parking lot platinum in my Astrovan 

CHORUS: 

Compton isn't too far away 

Neither is South Central LA 

No matter what the cops try and say 

I'm selling yay 

I see police lights 

On palmdale boulevard 

Back-up units pulling up 

I'm thinking oh my god 

I got nowhere else to go 

My hands are in the air 

I don't know what to do 

But you can't have my weed and my brew
