[Kendrick Lamar] Now everybody serenade the new fate of Kendrick Lamar This is King Kendrick Lamar King Kendrick and I meant it My point intended is raw Fix your lenses forensics woulda told you Kendrick got killed and pretend its a massacre And the masses upon us And I master being the the master at dodging your honour And the chapter that read at 25, I will live dormant like 5 in the morning Then raid your spot while Kendrick’s performing And if they take everything know I got… [Hook] Compton, Compton Ain't no city quite like mine (Hey Dre whats happening with it my nigga) [Dr Dre] Still I’m at it, peel the plastic off it You could feel the magic Still I’m laughing at the critics talking I can see ‘em gagging when I’m back in the back of my city Back in the back with a batch, I’m banging Dre Beats with me Look where I’m at, it’s the murder cap’ And I’m captain at birth of this gangsta rap It’s a wrap when I’m done And I’ve come a long way from a hundred dollars a month To a hundred mill in a day Bitch I’m from.. Compton, Compton Ain't no city quite like mine [Kendrick Lamar] So come and visit, the tires screeching Ambulance, policeman Won’t you spend a weekend on Rosecrans nigga Khaki crease and crime increasing on Rosecrans nigga Kendrick Conan nigga Where your sword at? Hand on the cross and swore that I do it big, it’s Rasputia for you shooters Kama sutra screaming fuck your position and make you hold that I’m trying to stay grounded like four flats But I know Flex and piru crip tatts They swarm on me like a beehive hoop in the G ride From the west to the east side Know just how Compton roll [Dr Dre & Kendrick Lamar] And that’s a given I pass the blunt then pass the torch Of course it’s my decision I crashed the ports that you report That you see me in Benzes I must report that we import them narcotics You bought it then talked about it when crack hit the speakers The music business I blow up every time we throw up a record depending on what you expected I’m sure it’s bigger than your religion Perfected by niggas that manifested music to live in Compton, compton Ain't no city quite like mine [Dr Dre] So tell that gangsta throw his set high Roll it up in a blunt, I’mma take you on that next high I did exactly what I wanted, that’s what made them checks fly… In my direction, you never question when I said I… Will be a mogul before I visit Tupac and Left Eye Eazy and Aaliyah when I see ya we gon test drive A Lambo in heaven but for now I’m on a red eye Flying back to my city cause I forever stand by… Compton, Compton Ain't no city quite like mine [Kendrick Lamar] Now we can all celebrate, we can all harvest the rap artist of NWA America target a rap market, it’s controversy and hate Harsh realities we in, made our music translate To the coke dealers, the hood rich and the broke niggas that play With them gorillas that know killers that know where you stay Roll that kush, crack that case, 10 bottles of Rose This was brought to you by Dre Now every muthafucka in here say Look who responsible for taking Compton international I make ‘em holla oooooooh Eh yo Just Blaze, good looking homie (Just Blaze, just blaze) Ain't no city quite like mine
