. The video shows N.W.A. at a club

to the crowd
and wandering through Compton. To promote radio
play, the song was deliberately written without profanity
in the lyrics, but does have a reference of Cocaine
, though it's mentioned negatively, saying he "don't do dope", the line is "Yo, I don't do dope, but I'm dope, not a dope", which he says dope as other meanings. Also, he uses the word "ass", and there are references of guns
(gat) and sounds of gunshots throughout the song. But a fact that it is to promote radio play is self-referenced in the song itself:

in lines such as "My homey Dre is a doctor not a lawyer" and "Yo Ren get the gat show'em where it's at". The single was featured with others such as "Boyz-N-the-Hood", "Radio", and "Ruthless Villain" to name a few. The first line of the song is sung by Dr. Dre
