[Verse 1: Kendrick] 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 and dodging your honor And the chapter that read at 25 I would live dormant like 5 in the morning Then ring your spot while Kendrick's performing And if they take everything, know I got
[Hook] Compton, Compton, ain't no city quite like mine
(Ay, Dre what's happenin' wit' it my nigga!)
[Verse 2: Dre] 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 bangin' Dre Beats with me, look where I'm at It's the murder cap' and I'm captain at birth of 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]
[Verse 3: Kendrick] So come and visit the tire screeching, ambulance, policeman Won't you spend a weekend on Rosecrans nigga Khaki creasing, crime increasing 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 trying to stay grounded like four flats But I know flats and Piru Crip tats
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
[Verse 4: Dre + Kendrick] 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 (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 niggas that manifested music to live in)
[Hook]
[Verse 5: Dre] So tell that gangster throw his set high Roll it up in a blunt, I'mma 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 cuz I'll forever standby
[Hook]
[Verse 6: Kendrick] Now we can all celebrate We can all harvest the rap artists of NWA 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 rozay 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] Ain't no city quite like mine, yeah In the city of Compton Ain't no city quite like mine
