Lyrics

[Intro: Dr. Dre & Anderson .Paak] Where you from, nigga? (Help me!) [Skit] "What is going on in Compton? I don't understand it." "Well as it relates to this, this is not in my field as the clerk so anything that relates to this, you'll 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 Picasso's shoulder and tell him 'bout his brushstrokes? Them opinions, I don't trust those I apologize, the city made a nigga so cutthroat Every hood love me, but it started on one coast Could've stopped in '86 but I knew that you would want more I'm on the throne in a place some niggas won't go [Chorus: Justus & Dr. Dre] Don't 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: Dr. Dre] Psst! This is about where I'm from I think it's 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 won't let up until they all wet up, what (Don't get it fucked up!) Naw, nigga! Now everybody wanna visit tryna re-up that prescription (That prescription, yep, yeah, re-up) That's my nigga, watercolors couldn't even paint the picture If they don't 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) I'm 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] Don't 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: Anderson .Paak] Feels like you're drowning, don't 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 can't swim (If you can't swim, if you can't swim), Oh my God Where's 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 Wasn't 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 I'm a C-O-M-P-T-O-N-ovator, energizer Inner-city bullet flyin' 'til that bitch on autopilot Ah, shit! I don't 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) (Don't get it fucked up!) Homie got fucked up Tryna park his tour bus, not knowing what's what Or who's 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) That's when I realized banging wasn't 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] (Don't 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 I'm from I think it's time to take these niggas to the deep water Yeah, down in the Pacific Where them sharks at, nigga, down in the deep water [Outro: Anderson .Paak] Help me (Feels like you're drowning) I'm drowning Help me, help me, help me Somebody help me (Shoulda never jumped in If you, if you can't swim) Help me Help me, help me, help me I can't, I can't breathe I can't breathe, help (Where's a lifeguard when you need one?) God, please, please help me, please Please help me, please help... Please help, please, please...
