Lyrics
[Intro]
Mo gbowo ni Compton (yeah)
Omo Naija in the function (hey!)
Blue sky, red curb, no fronting
Far from Lagos, still hustling
[Verse 1]
Street sign say COMPTON, ọkọ mi, mo wa nítorí
Mama say "ma gbagbé ile," jọwọ má ṣe dákóró
Corner store, hot chips, small change in my palm
Ọrẹ mi ni khaki, red cap, wọn fẹ́ jẹ́ gang
Ọ̀rọ̀ wọ́n pọ̀, siren n dun, awa n gbé
Popo pass slow, gbogbo wa ni a dáké
Inu mi ń rò pé, "Ṣe na here, tàbí na home?"
Between two flags, mo n kọ́ "wole, wo jade" code
[Chorus]
Mo gbowo ni Compton, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ omo Naija (omo Naija)
One leg for the streets, one leg for aladura (aladura)
If you see me roll by, mo n f’ori s’ókun aja
From Ikorodu dreams to Rosecrans plaza
Mo gbowo ni Compton, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ omo Naija (omo Naija)
Accent mix together, pidgin plus Yoruba (Yoruba)
If I tell you my story, o ma rí pé ko rọrùn rara
Ṣùgbọ́n I still dey thank God, láti ghetto dé aya
[Verse 2]
After school, backyard, freestyle lori crate
Cousin dey laugh, "bro, your slang dey vibrate"
"Wa sọ Yoruba jù," wọn ni, "make the flow títì"
So I blend "how far" with "báwo ni," sound gritty
Sunday, white shirt, baba mi n gbadura
Monday, bandana boys dey chase their dollar
Mi o fẹ́ lọ s'íbẹ̀, mo fẹ́ kọ́ mi camera
Ṣùgbọ́n block dey whisper, "come join, we go cover ya"
Mo ranti generator sound back for Agege
Now it's low rider hum, same struggle, new level
Two worlds in my chest, won fe jà, won fe jọ
Ṣùgbọ́n mo n kọ́ bridge, ki n má bà jẹ́ pe mo sọnù
[Chorus]
Mo gbowo ni Compton, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ omo Naija (omo Naija)
One leg for the streets, one leg for aladura (amen)
If you see me roll by, mo n f’ori s’ókun aja
From Ikorodu dreams to Rosecrans plaza
Mo gbowo ni Compton, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ omo Naija (omo Naija)
Accent mix together, pidgin plus Yoruba (Yoruba)
If I tell you my story, o ma rí pé ko rọrùn rara
Ṣùgbọ́n I still dey thank God, láti ghetto dé aya
[Bridge]
Ṣe mo jẹ yankee boy?
Ṣe mo jẹ Africa pikin? (uh)
Wọ́n bi mi ní Compton
Ṣùgbọ́n my blood dey sing
"Oruko mi ni…", mo n pe ara mi loud
Ki gbogbo adugbo gbọ́, mo proud
Ko s'ohun tí wọn sọ, me I know my lane
From palm tree shade to Pacific rain
[Chorus]
Mo gbowo ni Compton, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ omo Naija (omo Naija)
One leg for the streets, one leg for aladura (aladura)
If you see me roll by, mo n f’ori s’ókun aja
From Ikorodu dreams to Rosecrans plaza
Mo gbowo ni Compton, ṣùgbọ́n mo jẹ omo Naija (omo Naija)
Accent mix together, pidgin plus Yoruba (Yoruba)
If I tell you my story, o ma rí pé ko rọrùn rara
Ṣùgbọ́n I still dey thank God, láti ghetto dé aya (amen)
Style
raplaid-back west coast bounce with swingy drumsrubbery sub-bassand clean sine-lead hooks. male vocalshalf-sung yoruba and pidgin cadences with call-and-response ad-libs. verses ride a sunnyhead-nod pocket; hook widens with stacked gang-style chants and octave doubles. subtle high-pitched pads in the backcrisp clapsand a touch of tape saturation for grit.
Prompt
I want to make this song about growling up in COMPTON California . I want it to be west coast style rap and I want it done in Nigerian language
