Great song, very funny! These rap lyrics sound real strange with
this type of music. I saw some guitar magazine describe this as
'moderately slow gangsta folk', I think that's a pretty good
description, Gangsta Folk! A whole new type of music!!
This is pretty easy to play, a few strange chords though, have
to do quite a bit of barring in chords with your index finger.
I didn't know what all the chords were called so some of them
might have some strange names. Anyway, enjoy!!
[Here's the picking you use in all the verses:]
A A/C# Dsus2 Eb*
E|--------------------------------------------0---------------0------

VERSE 1: [Play with picking pattern above]
--------
A A/C#
Woke up quick, at about noon
Dsus2 Eb*
Just thought that I had to be in Compton soon
A* F#m/F
I gotta get drunk, before the day begins
F#m* F#m/E D
Before my mother starts bitchin' about my friends
VERSE 2: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
About to go and damn near went blind
Young niggaz on the path throwin' up gang signs
I went in the house to get the clip
with my Mac-10, on the side of my hip
VERSE 3: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
I bailed outside and I pointed my weapon
Just as I thought the fools kept steppin'
I jumped in the fo' hit the juice in my ride
I got front and back, side to side
VERSE 4: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
The I let the Alpine play
I was pumpin' new shit by N.W.A
It was 'Gangsta Gangsta' at the top of the list
Then I played my own shit, it went something like this:
CHORUS: [strum chords]
-------
A F#m
Cruisin' down the street in my six-fo'
B7 E
Jockin' the bitches, slappin' the hos
A F#m
I went to the park to get the scoop
B7 E
Knuckleheads out there cold shootin' some hoop
VERSE 5: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
A car pulls up who can it be
It's a fresh El Camino rollin' Kilo G
He rolls down the window and he starts to say
It's all about makin' that G.T.A.
CHORUS: [strum chords]
-------
A F#m B7
'Cause the boyz in the hood are always hard
E A
Come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your card
F#m B7
Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit
E A D A E
Don't quote me boy I ain't said shit
[Here's the tab for those last
four chords in the chorus:]
A D A E
E|--------------------------------------|
B|---2--------3---------2-----------9---|
G|---2----------------------------------| / = slide up
D|---2----2/4-------4\2---------2/9-----| \ = slide down
A|---0----------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|
VERSE 6: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
Bored as hell and I wanna get ill
So I go to a place where my homeboys chill
Fellas out there tryin' to make that dollar
I pulled up in the 6-4 Impala
VERSE 7: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
Greeted with a forty and I start drinkin'
And from the eight-ball my breath starts stinkin'
I gotta get my girl to rock that body
Before I left I hit the Bacardi
VERSE 8: [play like VERSE 1]
--------
Pulled to the house get her out of the pad
Then the bitch said somethin' to make me mad
She said somethin' that I couldn't believe
So I grabbed the stupid bitch by her nappy-ass weave
[For VERSE 9 you play the same picking pattern but on the Dsus2
chord you hit it once and then totally stop. Then begin playing
again on the A* chord, the picking pattern again]
VERSE 9:
--------
A A/C#
Started talkin' shit, wouldn't you know
Dsus2 [STOP]
I reached back like a pimp and I slapped the ho
A* F#m/F
And her father stood up and he started to shout
F#m* F#m/E D
So I threw a right cross and knocked his old ass out
CHORUS: [strum the chords]
-------
A F#m B7
'Cause the boyz in the hood are always hard
E A
Come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your card
F#m B7
Knowin' nothin' in life but to be legit
E A D A E
Don't quote me boy I ain't said shit
[here's the tab for the last
two chords in the chorus:]
A E
E|---------0---0--|
B|--2------0---0--| b = bend note
G|--2------1---1--|
D|--2------2---2--|
A|--0------2---2--|
E|----2b3--0---0--|
Now play the whole picking pattern one time
before going into the OUTRO:
A A/C# Dsus2 Eb* A* F#m/F F#m* F#m/E D
[when you play the first A chord above you
play it a little differently than usual,
you play it like this:]
A
E|-------------------|
B|--2---------2------|
G|--------2-------2--|
D|------2-------2----|
a|--0-------0--------|
E|-------------------|
[then just play the rest of the pattern normally]
OUTRO:
------
A A/C# Dsus2 Eb*
Punk ass trippin' in the dead of night
A* F#m/F F#m* F#m/E D
Homey scored a key, he's gonna fly punk ass fly
[in the OUTRO, play the same picking pattern as usual except
for the last D chord, you play it like this:]
E|----------0h2p0------|
B|-----3---------3-----| h = hammer-on
G|---2---2----------2--| p = pull-off
D|-0-------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|
[spoken:]
They rippin' off everybody,
man, rippin' off everybody.
