[Intro: Anderson .Paak & King Mez]
From close range we official
Cocaine, money and pistols
Goddammit I got issues
Can't be serious
(Alright now here we go)
Where my city at?
f** with me, come on
I know you're feelin' that
f** with me, come on
You know I'm really that
f** with me, come on
Come on, come on
Don't even act like I ain't 'bout my business
Mothaf**a come on!
Come on, come on
Full clip, ammunition
You don't wanna deal with these f**in' consequences
[Verse 1: Ice Cube]
f**boys should tighten up a whole lot
I got some n***as with me down for runnin' up in your spot
And these n***as got hatchets and ratchets
Some of them lethals up under the mattress
And matter of fact this is a chance to show my lifestyle out to the ma**es
But chances are I might get another negative reaction
Think I'm a fraction, but I f**s 'em up like battery acid
I gives a f** what you think, n***a? This is my pa**ion
Survive through the time, you know my name, you know my reputation
You know what it is, I don't need to give no explanation
When you say my f**in' name, add exclamation
Los Angeles king now, make your b**h bring crowns
To me and Dre, you don't like it, you can lay
Think I'm quiet cause I'm actin', but my bank account gon' say "f** you!"
Respected from SoCal out to the Bay
Cashed a lot of checks this mornin', guess today was a good day
[Hook: Dem Jointz]
Now I lay me down
And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town
Good mornin'
And the sleepers will join the fallen
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
But this is what the f** is up, doin' this for my city
Comp-town, Hub, this my f**in' committee
Shout out to Dub C, real n***a be with me
C-Walkin' on these n***as with a crease in them Dickies
You know how many nights I heard them sparks echo in the park?
Around this time I was spinnin' records at Eve After Dark
My city crazy, school girls used to play with that chalk
Same chalk police used to outline n***as we lost
You understand what I'm sayin'? sh** is crazy, man
f** the money, yo this sh** could never change me, man
These new n***as in this b**h could never phase me, man
I know it's strange but on some real sh** it's plain as day
I'm just havin' some f**in' fun with this rap sh**
n***a with an attitude, still gettin' active
Man this industry to me, it feels a little plastic
I ain't heard nothin' that I can consider cla**ic, ugh
But this is for my n***as who been runnin' with me
And everybody in this b**h that's out there gunnin' for me
And I got love for my people that stay one hundred with me
I'ma keep it A1, been that way since day one
[Hook: Dem Jointz]
Now I lay me down
And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town
Good mornin'
And the sleepers'll join the fallen
(And the sleepers'll join the fallen)
So I lay me down
And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town
Good mornin'
(And the sleepers will join the fallen)
[Bridge: Dr. Dre]
Drama make the city happy
All I think about is makin' cla**ics
Cla**ics for the ma**es
This how you make a motherf**in' cla**ic (Cla**ic)
[Outro: Dem Jointz]
This is where I leave you
Carry you
In the city of Compton
This is where I leave you
Carry you
Down the Pacific Coast
This is where I leave you
And all your issues
