歌词
[Intro]
Where you from, ****?
[Verse 1]
I hear you talkin' 'bout respect, I gave you **** the utmost
All you **** 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 **** so cutthroat
Every hood love me, but it started on one coast
Coulda stopped in '86, but I knew that you would want more
I'm on the throne, in a place some **** won't go
[Chorus]
Don't get it fucked up
Been away from home, but I ain't been gone that long
Been away from home
All they wanna know is, where you from?
Where you from? Where you from? Where you from, ****, huh?
Compton
[Bridge]
This is about where I'm from, I think it's time to take these **** to the deep water
Deep down in the Pacific where the sharks at, ****, down in the deep water (Listen, listen)
[Verse 2]
All you **** swimmin' in the insults, go fuck around and drown in the specifics
Always goin' overboard, used to be my kinfolk, now you sleepin' with the muhfuckin' fishes
These **** won't let up until they all wet up, what?
Don't get it fucked up
Now e'rybody wanna visit, tryna re-up that prescription (That prescription)
Yeah, yeah, re-up
'Cause my ****, watercolors couldn't even paint the picture
They don't get the picture, fuck 'em (Yeah, fuck 'em)
Yeah, drugs by the dozen, you might just wanna go and check the children (What?)
You might just wanna check your fuckin' children
I'm the one that got they ear
For many years, I been makin' parents live in fear
I just wanna make it clear
My influence run deep like the ocean
[Chorus]
Don't get it fucked up
Been away from home, but I ain't been gone that long
Been away from home
All they wanna know is, where you from?
Where you from? Where you from? Where you from? Where you from, ****, huh?
Compton
[Bridge]
Feels like you're drownin', don't you?
About a hunnid miles down in that ocean, it's over
Shoulda never jumped in if you can't swim (Oh, my God)
Where's a lifeguard when you need one?
[Verse 3]
Motherfucker know I started from the bottom
Vodka baby bottle, mixin' that with Similac, my mama knew I had a problem
Wasn't thinkin' 'bout no rappin', I was juugin' for a dollar
Puttin' quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla (Holla)
No policin' me, I got the beast in me, I gotta holla
Keep the decency, I'm makin' E.N.T. my product
I'm a C-O-M-P-T-O-innovator, energizer
Inner city, bullets fly till that bitch on autopilot, ah shit!
I don't give a fuck about your whereabout
All I care about is wearin' out your area
Airin' out your upper body when I catch you
Walkin' out your parents' house
[Verse 4]
Don't get it fucked up
Homie got fucked up tryna park his tour bus
Not knowin' what's what or who's who, livin' in the L.A. County Zoo
Pick 'em off like a big dawg, muthafucka (Roof)
Once upon a time, I shot a **** on accident (Boom, boom, boom)
I tried to kill 'em, but I guess I needed more practicin'
That's when I realized bangin' wasn't for e'rybody
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, inheritin' the drama
Better than a Great White, ****, this is life in my aquarium
[Chorus]
Don't get it fucked up
Been away from home, but I ain't been gone that long
Been away from home
All they wanna know is, where you from?
Where you from? Where you from? Where you from, ****, huh?
Compton
[Bridge]
This is about where I'm from
I think it's time to take these **** to the deep water
Yeah, down in the Pacific
Where them sharks at, ****? Down in the deep water
[Outro]
Help me
Feels like you're drowning
Down in that ocean
Somebody, help me! Somebody, help me!
Should've never jumped in if you can't swim
Help me, help, help me, help me, help me
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I, I can't breathe
Where's a lifeguard when you need one?
God, please, please help, please
Please help me
Please help
Please help
Plea-, please
