Dom Kennedy - A Leimert Park Song lyrics

[Verse 1:] Hit me We started off small from the ground up Wasn't looking for the fame, but it found us People ask "Dom what you chasing down?" Hmm, take nine hundred thousand And n***a, round up Ain't never begged in my life n***a's hound us Them boys pressin you? sh** They always pound us Ask my man in NY, how I sound brah? He replied "sh** we know how you get down son" I recognize a lame n***a when I'm around one But I look like a clown try'na clown one A new Coretta Scott King I think I found one Man I'm through with y'all hoes I think I'll crown one I been sitting on these bars You can down one I been leading the whole time You been down one I don't rap about the hood I come down like [gunshots] Yeah I'm from round one [Hook:] I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool [Verse 2:] I was just telling my moms When I hear my songs I be feeling like Braun No Corey Matthews, I be feeling like Sean Yeah I finally got a job Is you feelin that Mom? My Dad asked me why I wasn't signed yet I said obviously because you never rhymed yet And my watch say "n***a it ain't yo time yet" I ain't have enough time to do Dom yet But errbody ask my for an estimate And wanna take my style, look I ain't even perfected it I ain't even saying I'm a perfectionist But at least let me pursue it on some Lexus sh** Cause I don't wanna be screwed on some Texas sh** Twenty years later saying I blew it on some reckless sh** The city locked up on some necklace sh** So if you got other plans, you should exit it The game need n***as that's affectionate Not just a bunch of n***as wantin' checks and sh** Not just a bunch of n***as wantin' s** and sh** Dissin the same n***as that they textin with I'm textin a n***a girl like yo man s** Meet me up at Autobahn, tell him get his hands up [Hook:] I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool [Verse 3:] Let me drop some math on em Nah f** that let me drop my ash on em Put em in a room and turn the gas on em Nobody saw a thing, put a mask on him He a threat to the public put a task on him When you going through his pockets put a stash on him Shoot him one time but don't blast on him Break a man's soul and put a cast on him The game so cold so many snake brothers We can't even realize who really take from us From "Watermelon Sundae" to "I Hate Summers" I got big self esteem, but I stay humble I say Leimert Park was cool They say Leimert Park was new Maintainin, bunch of n***as complaining For my birthday I bought me two Cuban chains and I try to tell my boys that we more than entertainment And I'm leaving with a different girl than I came with And still and all we just this close Waking up early so we don't miss this boat I said still and all I'm just this close I'm stayin up late so I don't miss this boat And a uhh Leimert Park was cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's cool I say Leimert Park What's coolark was cool Leimert Park was cool Yo
