I put Compton on the map.

The boys in the hood are always hard.

A solution to stop gang banging: SNOW!!

Another murder I committed made the front page.

I'm not religious, but wrong or right, that's me.

If you want to get your point across, you gotta cuss.

I'll let the people decide what they think is good taste.

What we're showing may not be your reality, but it's ours.

I'm not a registered Republican or Democrat. I don't even vote.

Fee fi foe fum, she's scratching on my back. Oh, here she comes.

Get thee behind me Satan, and push me along. I'm kin to the devil.

We're not making records for the fun of it; we're in it to make money.

Jumped In The Fo' Hit The Juice On Ma Ride I Got Front Back, And Side To Side

Eazy-E is going to remain Eazy-E. But I will not portray Compton as a bad city.

Police on my drawers I had to pause 40 ounce in my lap And it's freezing my balls

I have seven children by six different mothers. Maybe success was too good to me.

Hard, you know what I'm thinking, took the panties off and the pussy wasn't stinking.

We're not into politics at all. We're just saying what other people are afraid to say.

Movies don't make people act a fool. People act a fool because they want to act a fool.

People where we come from hear so many lies that the truth stands out like a sore thumb.

Who gave it that title, gangsta rap? It's reality rap. It's about what's really going on.

Not all cops are bad, but this kind of harassment has been going on for years in the ghetto.

Nuthin' can avoid this shot 'cause it's hittin' It's so cool when you touch it, wear a mitten

What the cops did to Rodney King was wrong, and the officers who beat him should be sent straight to prison.

I just feel I've got thousands and thousands of young fans that have to learn about what's real when it comes to AIDS.

I go to correctional facilities and talk to kids there. They have little kids in there who are, like, 12 years old, stealing cars and stuff like that.

If we could, we'd change a lot of things. But the only thing that's going to really change things is money and time. And time might just make it worse, too.

I bet there ain't anybody in South Africa wearing a button saying 'Free Compton' or 'California.' They don't give a damn about us, so why should we give a damn about them?

The kids from the streets don't want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don't care if it's ugly; they just want reality.

I don't want to be in somebody else's movie, and then they make all the money. I've gotten offers to do the movies, but I won't sell myself short and be in somebody else's movie, like 'Boyz N the Hood.' I don't think I woulda done that.

Why do you think the fans like us - why they prefer our street raps over all that phony stuff out there? Because we're telling the real story of what it's like living in places like Compton. We're giving them reality. We're like reporters. We give them the truth.

Yeah, I was a brother on the streets of Compton doing a lot of things most people look down on but it did pay off. Then we started rapping about real stuff that shook up the LAPD and the FBI. But we got our message across big time, and everyone in America started paying attention to the boys in the hood.

I'm not saying this because I'm looking for a soft cushion wherever I'm heading, I just feel that I've got thousands and thousands of young fans that have to learn about what's real when it comes to AIDS. Like the others before me, I would like to turn my own problem into something good that will reach out to all my homeboys and their kin. Because I want to save their asses before it's too late.
