~#**************#~
[Skit]
~#**************#~
“What is going on in Compton? I dont understand it.”
~#**************#~
“Well as it relates to this, this is not in my field as the clerk so anything that relates to this, youll probably have to get an answer from Dr. Dre.”
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
I heard you talking about respect, I gave you niggas the utmost (The utmost)
~#**************#~
All you niggas the utmost (The utmost)
~#**************#~
Would you look over Picassos shoulder and tell him bout his brushstrokes?
~#**************#~
Them opinions, I dont trust those
~#**************#~
I apologize, the city made a nigga so cutthroat
~#**************#~
Every hood love me, but it started on one coast
~#**************#~
Couldve stopped in 86 but I knew that you would want more
~#**************#~
Im on the throne in a place some niggas wont go
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Justus & Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Dont get it fucked up!
~#**************#~
Been away from home (Been away from home)
~#**************#~
But I aint been gone that long
~#**************#~
All they wanna know is: Where you from? Where you from?
~#**************#~
Where you from, nigga, huh? Compton!
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Psst! This is about where Im from
~#**************#~
I think its time to take these niggas to the deep water
~#**************#~
Yeah, down in the Pacific (The Pacific), representin
~#**************#~
Where them sharks at, nigga, down in the deep water
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Listen, listen, listen
~#**************#~
All you niggas swimming in the info gon’ fuck around and drown in the specifics
~#**************#~
Always going overboard
~#**************#~
Used to be my kinfolk, now you sleeping with the motherfuckin fishes
~#**************#~
(Swimming with the mothefuckin fishes, what the business?)
~#**************#~
These niggas wont let up until they all wet up, what
~#**************#~
(Dont get it fucked up!) Naw, nigga!
~#**************#~
Now everybody wanna visit tryna re-up that prescription
~#**************#~
(That prescription, yep, yeah, re-up)
~#**************#~
Thats my nigga, watercolors couldnt even paint the picture
~#**************#~
If they dont get the picture, fuck them (Yeah, fuck ‘em)
~#**************#~
Yeah, drugs by the dozen (What)
~#**************#~
You might just wanna go and check the children
~#**************#~
(Shit, you might just wanna check your fuckin children, yeah)
~#**************#~
Im the one that got they ear
~#**************#~
Ah, for many years, I been making parents live in fear
~#**************#~
I just wanna make it clear
~#**************#~
My influence run deep like the ocean
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Justus & Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Dont get it fucked up!
~#**************#~
Been away from home (Been away from home)
~#**************#~
But I aint been gone that long
~#**************#~
(All they wanna know is: where you from? Where you from?
~#**************#~
Where you from, nigga, huh? Compton!)
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Anderson .Paak]
~#**************#~
Feels like youre drowning, dont you? (Don’t you, don’t you)
~#**************#~
About a hundred miles down in that ocean (About a hundred miles down in that o—), it’s over
~#**************#~
Shoulda never jumped in if you cant swim (If you cant swim, if you cant swim), Oh my God
~#**************#~
Wheres a lifeguard when you need one?
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
~#**************#~
Motherfucker, know I started from the bottom, vodka baby bottle
~#**************#~
Mixin that with Similac, my momma knew I had a problem
~#**************#~
Wasnt thinking bout no rapping, I was juggin’ for a dollar
~#**************#~
Putting quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla (Holla)
~#**************#~
No policing me, I got the beast in me, I gotta— (Holla)
~#**************#~
Keep the decency and make them TNT my product
~#**************#~
Im a C-O-M-P-T-O-N-ovator, energizer
~#**************#~
Inner-city bullet flyin til that bitch on autopilot
~#**************#~
Ah, shit!
~#**************#~
I dont give a fuck about your whereabouts
~#**************#~
All I care about is wearing out your area and airing out your upper body when I catch ya walking out your parents house (Brrr)
~#**************#~
(Dont get it fucked up!) Homie got fucked up
~#**************#~
Tryna park his tour bus, not knowing whats what
~#**************#~
Or whos who, living in the L.A. County zoo
~#**************#~
Pick them off like a big dog, motherfucker, woof!
~#**************#~
Once upon a time, I shot a nigga on accident (Boom, boom, boom)
~#**************#~
I tried to kill him but I guess I needed more practicing (Boom, boom, boom)
~#**************#~
Thats when I realized banging wasnt for everybody
~#**************#~
Switch it up before my enemy or the sheriff got me
~#**************#~
They liable to bury him, they nominated six to carry him
~#**************#~
They worry him to death, but he no vegetarian, the beef is on his breath
~#**************#~
Inheriting the drama better than a great white, nigga, this is life in my aquarium
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Justus & Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
(Dont get it fucked up!)
~#**************#~
Been away from home (Been away from home)
~#**************#~
But I ain’t been gone that long
~#**************#~
(All they wanna know is: Where you from, where you from?
~#**************#~
Where you from, nigga, huh? Compton)
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Cheyenne Lavene]
~#**************#~
This is about where Im from
~#**************#~
