Lyrics
[Intro]
Santana Blocc, yeah
COMPTOSHADE
You can see it in my face though
Uh
[Verse 1]
Mama said “stand tall”
I took that down Rosecrans
Right by the swap meet
Shirt tucked in, that slow stance
Homies on the front porch
Noddin’ like “you gon’ be great”
Graffiti on the brick wall
Spellin’ everything it took to escape
But I ain’t run from it
I became sum’n
Turn the weight of the world
To a bass drum rumblin’
They point fingers at the map
Like it’s cursed where I stay
I see kids ridin’ bikes
Hear them laughin’ all day
[Chorus]
I’m from Compton
You can’t shade my shine
COMPTOSHADE
But the block still mine
They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt
They gon’ throw that hate around
I believe in my city
So my city hold me down
I’m from Compton
You can’t shade my glow
COMPTOSHADE
Watch the whole thing grow
They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt
But we built from solid ground
I believe in my people
So my people hold me down (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Seen red and blue lights
Flash off the palm trees
Seen all this pain
Turn cousins into concrete
Still, auntie at the grill
Smell the smoke in the breeze
Little sisters jump rope
Singin’ off-key
Yeah, that’s home
Even when it hurt me deep
I wear “CPT”
Like it’s stitched in my sleep
They call us lost
But I see future in the face of my folks
Every corner got a story
Every story got hope
[Bridge]
They say “you from where?”
Like I’m supposed to feel shame (nah)
I say “I’m from there”
Like it’s carved in my veins
If they hate, let ‘em hate
They don’t live what we live
We survived all of that
Now we got more to give (more to give)
[Chorus]
I’m from Compton
You can’t shade my shine
COMPTOSHADE
But the block still mine
They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt
They gon’ throw that hate around
I believe in my city
So my city hold me down
I’m from Compton
You can’t shade my glow
COMPTOSHADE
Watch the whole thing grow
They gon’ talk, they gon’ doubt
But we built from solid ground
I believe in my people
So my people hold me down (hold me down)

Style
rap, West Coast lowrider slap with rubbery bass, crisp rimshots, and eerie keys; male vocals laid back but confident, doubling on the hook. Subtle talkbox harmonies in the chorus, beat drops to half-time on the bridge then slams back in for the final hook.
