[Intro]
[?]
Toddy Tee rocking the city of Compton
Get ready for the national jam
[Chorus]
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
(Went through my pad)
[Verse 1]
Compton, Carson, L.A. and Watts
You check me on and now I'm hot
Yes, motherfucker, the kid is back
With the jimmy-jam batterram gangster rap
Bradley, Gates, Reagan and [?]
It seems to me that you created a mess
I done seen it on the news and at the show
And now it's interrupting on the stereo
The citizens also, it's the talk of the town
It has hydraulic lifts that go up and down
It goes front and back, it goes side to sidе
And a goddamn steel house wouldn't try
To stand up against the ultimate forcе
It makes little city houses its dinner course
It busts down trees and knock down doors
And it's guaranteed to make you fall to the floor
[?] the cops who come up with this scam
It's technology, it's the newest, the batterram
[Chorus]
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
(Went through my pad)
[Verse 2]
Mayor Tom Bradley, listen to me
I got a couple complaints about the LAPD
One day I was sitting at my house
Me and my kids was watching Mighty Mouse
You see, everyday at a certain time
We all get stuck on the cartoon line
First Tom and Jerry, then Inspector Gadget
[?] they must be faggots
But on that certain day, watching Superfriends
I didn't think that my house would cave in
But on that day, I heard a knock on the door
Me and my kids, they was asleep on the floor
I said to myself "who could this be?"
So I went to the door so I could see
I opened the door to see who it was
He said "I need a five-o, 'ey, whassup, cuz?"
I said "I'm not your cousin, don't have your [?]
You must mean the house, homeboy let go"
So he called me a fool and then [?]
He said "My name is Darryl Gates from the LAPD"
I said "Chief Darryl Gates, on Channel 7
The one that rocks and goes to heaven?"
He said "That's right, so won't you come out
You're under arrest, this is a rockhouse"
I said "[?] must be a mistake"
Then he showed me his army tank
He walked back to the tank then started it up
That motherfucker sounded like a trash chute
I looked at the tank and said to myself
What could this be and said "Explain yourself"
He said "We got this from the army as a little donation
To clean up houses in the nation"
He started it up, I said "what the fuck"
It was picking up speed, it was getting up
Ran through the front door and out the back
Then he turned around, he didn't give me no slack
He hit my sister and even my daughter
That chief Darry Gates, he was having a ball
Old man Bradley, listen to me
What you mean I can't sue for the city?
I say listen up cuz, you think you getting over
But one day soon y'all gonna discover
That the batterram is in, and that's no doubt
But sooner or later it's gonna play out
'Cause when Toddy Tee rocks, the people jam
So look it out people, here I am
With the ooh-ah, the bang for you
Because I rock you all like the CRASH crew
[Chorus]
With the batterram
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
(Went through my pad)
The batterram
The batterram
The batterram
(Went through my pad)
The batterram
The batterram
(Went through my pad)
[Outro]
So if it ever comes to your front door
Put your hands in the air and politely... go!
Oh yeah, I rock the house
Without a doubt
Darryl Gates, what you mean?
He's on the CPT, Darryl Gates is on the CB
Who you call?
He called Cheeseman, and Cheeseman called Joe
And Joe turned around and called Chief-o
Chief-o called Tweak, Tweak called Jay
And that just made Chief Darryl Gates' day
The batterram
