Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 being the master at dodging your honor
And the chapter that read at twenty-five I would live dormant like five in the morning
They'll raid your spot while Kendrick's performing, and if they take everything, know I got
[Chorus]
Compton, Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
Aye, Dre what's happening wit' it, my ****?
[Verse 2]
Still I'm at it, peel the plastic off it, you can 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 'Bach with a batch of them banging Dre Beats with me, look where I'm at
It's the murder cap', and I'm captain at birthing 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
[Chorus]
Compton, Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 3]
So come and visit the tire screeching, ambulance, policeman, won't you spend a weekend on Rosecrans, ****?
Khaki creasing, crime increasing on Rosecrans, ****
Kendrick Conan, ****
Where your 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 trying 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 how Compton roll
[Verse 4]
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've seen me in Benzes
I must report that we import the 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 expecting, I'm sure it's bigger than your religion
Perfected by **** that manifested music to live in
[Chorus]
Compton, Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 5]
So tell that gangster throw his set high
Roll it up in a blunt, I'ma 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 2Pac 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 redeye
Flying back to my city 'cause I'll forever standby
[Chorus]
Compton, Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
[Verse 6]
Now we can all celebrate
We can all harvest the rap artists of N.W.A
America target our rap market as controversy and hate
Harsh realities we in made our music translate
To the coke dealers, the hood rich and the broke **** 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 taking Compton international, I make 'em holla"
[Outro]
Ayo, Just Blaze, good looking, homie
Just Blaze
[Outro]
Ain't no city quite like mine, yeah
In the city of Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine
[Outro]
Momma, I'm finna use the van real quick
Be back, 15 minutes
