Lyrics
[Intro]
From close range we official
Cocaine, money and pistols
Goddammit, I got issues
Can't be serious
[Instrumental]
Alright now, here we go
Where my city at?
Fuck with me, come on
I know you're feelin' that
Fuck with me, come on
You know I'm really that
Fuck with me, come on
Come on, come on
Don't even act like I ain't 'bout my business
Motherfucker, come on
Come on, come on (Yeah)
Full clip, ammunition
You don't wanna deal with these fuckin' consequences
[Verse 1]
Fuckboys should tighten up a whole lot
I got some **** with me down for runnin' up in your spot
And these **** got hatchets and ratchets
Some of them lethals up under the mattress
And matter of fact, this is a chance to show my lifestyle out to the masses
But chances are I might get another negative reaction
Think I'm a fraction, but I fucks 'em up like battery acid
I gives a fuck what you think, ****, this is my passion
Survive through the time, you know my name, you know my reputation
You know what it is, I don't need to give no explanation
When you say my fuckin' name, add exclamation
Los Angeles king now, make your bitch bring crowns
To me and Dre, you don't like it, you can lay
Think I'm quiet 'cause I'm actin', but my bank account gon' say "Fuck you"
Respected from SoCal out to the Bay
Cashed a lot of checks this mornin', guess today was a good day
[Chorus]
Now I lay me down
And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town, ah-woo
Good mornin'
And the sleepers will join the fallen
[Verse 2]
But this is what the fuck is up, doin' this for my city
Comp-town, Hub, this my fuckin' committee
Shout out to Dub C, real **** been with me
C-Walkin' on these **** with a crease in them Dickies
You know how many nights I heard them sparks echo in the park?
Around this time, I was spinnin' records at Eve After Dark
My city crazy, school girls used to play with that chalk
Same chalk police used to outline **** we lost
You understand what I'm sayin'? Shit is crazy, man
Fuck the money, yo, this shit could never change me, man
These new **** in this bitch could never phase me, man
I know it's strange, but on some real shit, it's plain as day
I'm just havin' some fuckin' fun with this rap shit
**** with an attitude, still gettin' active
Man, this industry to me, it feels a little plastic
I ain't heard nothin' that I can consider classic, ugh
But this is for my **** who been runnin' with me (Runnin' with me)
And everybody in this bitch that's out there gunnin' for me (Gunnin' for me)
And I got love for my people that stay one hundred with me
I'ma keep it A1, been that way since day one
[Chorus]
Now I lay me down
And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town, ah-woo
Good mornin'
And the sleepers will join the fallen (And the sleepers will join the fallen)
So I lay me down
And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town, ah-woo
Good mornin'
And the sleepers will join the fallen
[Bridge]
Drama make it cinematic (Yeah)
All I think about is makin' classics
Tragic, massive, for the masses
This how you make a motherfuckin' classic (Classic)
Cl— Cl— Classic
[Instrumental]
This is where I leave you
Carry you, carry you
In the city of Compton
This is where I leave you
Carry you, carry you
Down the Pacific Coast
This is where I leave you
And all your issues, oh
