Song lyrics

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Now everybody serenade the new faith of Kendrick Lamar,
This is king Kendrick Lamar.
King Kendrick, and I meant it, my point intended is raw,
Fix your lenses forensics would've told you Kendrick had killed it.
Pretend it's a massacre and the masses upon us,
And I mastered bein' the master at dodgin' Your Honor,
And the chapter that read at twenty-five, I would live dormant like five in the morning.
They raid your spot while Kendrick's performin',
And if they take everythin', know, I got.

[Hook:]
Compton, Compton,
Ain't no city quite like mine!

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Ayo, Dre what's happenin' wit' it, my nigga?

[Dr. Dre:]
Still I'm at it, peel the plastic off it, you can feel the magic,
Still I'm laughin' at the critics talkin', I can see ‘em gaggin'.
When I'm back in the back of my city, back in the ‘Bach,
With a batch of them bangin' Dre Beats with me, look where I'm at.
It's the murder cap' and I'm captain at birthin' this gangsta rap,
It's a wrap when I'm done, and I come a long way from a hundred dollars a month
To a hundred mil' in a day, bitch, I'm from...

[Hook]

[Kendrick Lamar:]
So come and visit the tire screechin' ambulance, policeman,
Won't you spend a weekend on Rosecrans, nigga?
Khaki creasin', crime increasin' on Rosecrans, nigga,
Kendrick Conan, nigga.
Where you sword at? Hand on the cross and swore that.
I do it big as Rasputia for them shooters,
Kama Sutra, scream fuck your position and make you hold that,
I'm tryin' to stay grounded like four flats,
But I know flats and Piru-Crip tats.

[Bridge:]
Will swarm on me like a beehive,
Hop in the G-ride,
From the West to the East side
Know that's just how Compton roll.

[Dr. Dre:]
And that's a given.
I pass the blunt then pass the torch, of course, that's my decision.
I crash the Porsche then you report that you see me in Benzes,
I must report that we import the narcotics you bought it.

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Then talked about it when crack hit the speakers, the music business.
I blow up every time we throw up a record,
Dependin' on what you expectin', I'm sure, it's bigger than your religion,
Perfected by niggas that manifested music to live in.

[Hook]

[Dr. Dre:]
So tell that gangster throw his set high,
Roll it up in a blunt, Imma take you on the next high.
I did exactly what I wanted, that's what made them checks fly
In my direction. You never questioned when I said, I
Would be a mogul before I visit Tupac and Left Eye,
Eazy and Aaliyah. When I see you, we gon' test drive
A Lambo in heaven but for now I'm on the red-eye,
Flyin' back to my city ‘cause I'll forever stand by.

[Hook]

[Kendrick Lamar:]
Now we can all celebrate,
We can all harvest the rap artists of N.W.A.,
America target our 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, ten bottles of Rosé,
This was brought to you by Dre.
Now every motherfucker in here say,
“Look who's responsible for takin' Compton international,
I make ‘em holla!”

[Outro:]
Ayo, Just Blaze, good lookin', homie!
Just Blaze!
Ain't no city quite like mine, yeah!
In the city of Compton,
Ain't no city quite like mine!

[Skit:]
Mom, I'll use your van real quick. Be back in fifteen minutes.
