ACT 1 SCENE 1
(LIGHTS FADE IN)
(CALIFORNIA LOVE BEGINS)
GREGGY
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the cityyy of L.A.
In the cityyy of good ol Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!
TYRECE
Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of fun
We in that sunshine state where that bomb butt hemp be
The state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
Lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends
I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes
Ever since honeys was wearin sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to the Bay
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way

Shake it shake it baby

Shake it shake it mama
Californ--Ia
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it shake it...
SHANIQUA
Out on bail fresh outta jail, California dreamin
Soon as I stepped on the scene, I'm hearin hoochies screamin
Fiendin for money and caprisuns
The life of a west side playa where cowards die and it's all ball
Only in Cali where we riot not rally to live and die
In L.A. we wearin Chucks not Ballies (that's right)
Dressed in Locs and khaki suits and ride is what we do
Flossin but have caution we collide with other crews
Famous cause we program worldwide
Let'em recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans
Bumpin and grindin like a slow jam, it's west side
So you know the row won't bow down to no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of L.A.
From Oakland to Sacktown
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put they mack down
Give me love!
Uh, yeah, uh, longbeach in tha house, uh yeah
Oaktown, Oakland definately in tha house hahaha

Frisko, Frisko
Hey, you know LA is up in this
Pasadena, where you at
Yeah, Inglewood, Inglewood always up to no good
Even Hollywood tryin to get a piece baby
Sacramento, sacramento where ya at? yeah
Throw it up y'all, throw it up, Throw it up
Let's show these fools how we do this on that west side
Cause you and I know it's tha best side
Yeah, That's riight
West coast, west coast
Uh, California Love
California Love
(CALIFORNIA LOVE ENDS.)
(GREGGY WALKING INTO SCHOOL WITH MIKE)
GREGGY
Ugh I hate school, and I really dont want to go through a whole year.
MIKE
Same. I dont care because Im only going to come half the days we have
too. School is such a waste of time.
GREGGY
Yea. Hey! Look over there its Tyrece and his squad.
MIKE
Cmon Greggy just walk the other way we dont want to get in a fight on the
first day.
TYRECE
Hey ugly, you want the sauce?
GREGGY

Yes I do. Bring it to me jerk.

(THEY FIGHT. GREGGY GETS KNOCKED OUT.)
SHANIQUA
How dare you hurt my baby! Youre dead.
(SHANIQUA TAKES HER PURSE AND CLOBBERS TYRECE IN THE
SKULL.)
MRS. JERRY
Hey! Stop that fighting now!
(STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON BEGINS)
SHANIQUA
Straight outta Compton, it's a crazy brotha named Ice Cube
From the stupid-freaky gang wit a attitude
When I'm called off, I gotta sawed-off
Kick knowledge and bodies are hauled off
You too boy if you get with me
The police are gonna have to come and get me
Off yo back, that's how I'm going out
For the sucka dumb brothas that's showing out
Some start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
So give it up smooth
Ain't no telling when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a murder rap to keep you dancing
With a crime record like Charles Manson
Now you know that I'm about to act a fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knocking suckas out the box, daily
Yo weekly, monthly and yearly
Until the whole damn world see clearly
That I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy, you can't step to me

So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck down

Cause Ice Cube will dang sure buck 'em down
As I leave, believe I'm stomping
But when I come back boy, I'm coming straight outta Compton
Tell em where you from
(MRS.JERRY)
Straight outta Compton, a brotha with his finger on the trigger
More punks I take out, my rep gets bigger
I'm a ruthless villain and you know this
But the suckas in the public won't show this
But I don't really care, I'mma make my snaps
If not from the records, from jacking the craps
It's like burglary, the definition is jacking
And when illegally armed it's called packing
Knock a fool out in a sec
I find somebody talkin' trash and put em in check
So if you're at a show in the front row
I'mma call you a sucka if you don't go with the flow
You'll probably get mad like a punk is supposed to
But that shows me, yo, you're composed to
A crazy young brotha from the street
Attitude legit cause I'm ready to hit
MC Ren controls the automatic
For any fool in my way that starts static
Not the right hand cause I'm the hand itself
Every time I pull a AK off the shelf
The security is maximum and that's a law
R-E-N spells Ren but I'm raw
See, cause people know me as a villain
The definition is clear, you're the witness of a killing
That's taking place without a clue
And once you're on the scope, you know you're through
Look, you might take it as a trip
But a brotha like Ren is on a gangsta tip
Straight outta Compton

(SHANIQUA)
Eazy is his name and the boy is coming
(MRS. JERRY)
Straight outta Compton
Is a brother that'll smother your mother
And make your sister think I love her
Dangerous young brotha raising hell
And if I ever get caught, I make bail
See I don't really care, that's the problem
When I see a police, I don't dodge him
But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while
And when I see the punk pass, I smile
To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showing suckas driving
But don't know where the hell they going, just rolling
Looking for the one they call Eazy
But here's a flash, they never seize me
Ruthless
Never seen like a shadow in the dark
Except when I unload
You see I'll get over the hesitation
And hear the scream of the one who got the lead penetration
Feel a little gust of wind and now I'm jetting
And leave a memory no one'll be forgetting
This is the autobiography of the E
And if you ever mess with me
You'll get taken by a stupid dope brother who will smother
Word to the mother, yeah!
Straight outta Compton
(SHANIQUA)
That's the way it goes in the city of Compton, boy
(STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON ENDS)
SHANIQUA
He hit my baby, so I had to give him a beat down.

(GREGGY AND TYRECE WAKE UP)

MRS. JERRY
All of you go to the hall. Im calling the principle!
(MRS. JERRY CALLS PRINCIPLE)
(GREGGY, TYRECE, AND SHANIQUA ALL GO OUT INTO THE
HALLWAY TO TALK TO MR.HATCH)
MR.HATCH
I am very ashamed of your guys behavior today. What were you guys
thinking?
SHANIQUA
Well Tyrece knocked out my love Greggy and I dont mess with that stuff.
MR. HATCH
What was your point Tyrece?
TYRECE
Well I dont like Greggys gang and I started saying some things and then it
escalated from there
MR. HATCH
Greggy do you agree with that?
GREGGY

MR.HATCH

DENZEL
Greggy I am very disappointed in you. I told you to never get out of school

GREGGY
Im sorry dad! I wont let someone hit me, and not hit back. You even told
me I should always stand up for myself.
DENZEL
I know Greggy, but this is going on your personal record, and that will hurt
you in the future.
GREGGY
I dont car dad, at least I wont be embarrassed in school for looking like a
wimp.
DENZEL

payback.
MUHAMMAD

(MUHAMMAD CALLS MIKE)
(MIKE ARRIVES)
GREGGY
Okay boys, how are we gonna kill him?
MUHAMMAD
I say we blow up his entire neighborhood.
GREGGY
We could do that, but then we have a better chance at getting caught by
the police.
MUHAMMAD
Then we should burn his house down.
MIKE
Thats even worse. I brought some powerful guns, lets just blow his brains
out.
GREGGY

Yeah, we can go get him on the street.
