[Kendrick Lamar]
Now everybody serenade the new faith of Kendrick Lamar
The is King Kendrick Lamar
King Kendrick and I meant it, my point intended is raw
Fix your lenses, forensics would have 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
In the chapter that read at twenty-five I would live dormant
like five in the morning, then raid your spot while Kendrick's performing
And if they take everything, know I got

[Chorus: Sly]
Compton, Compton
Ain't no city quite like mine

[Kendrick Lamar]
Ay Dre, what's happening with it my nigga?

[Dr. 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 banging Dre beats with me, look where I'm at
It's the murder cap', and I'm captain at birthing this gangster rap
It's a wrap when I'm done, and I come a long way from a hundred dollars a month
to a hundred mill in a day, bitch I'm from

[Chorus]

[Kendrick Lamar]
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 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 on that
I'm tryna stay grounded like four flats, but I know flats and Piru-Crip tats

[Sly]
They swarm on me like a beehive, hop in the G ride
From the west to the east side, know just how Compton roll

[Dr. Dre]
And that's a given
I pass the blunt, then pass the torch, of course it's my decision
I crash the Porsche, then you report that you see me in Benzes
I must report that we import them narcotics you bought

[Kendrick Lamar]
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 expected, I'm sure it's bigger than your religion
Perfected by niggas that manifested music to live in

[Chorus]

[Dr. Dre]
So tell that gangster throw his set high
Roll it up in a blunt, I'ma take you on that 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 ya we gon' test drive
a Lambo in Heaven, but for now I'm on a red eye
Flying back to my city cause I'll forever standby

[Chorus]

[Kendrick Lamar]
Now we can all celebrate
We can all harvest the rap artists of N.W.A.
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 bottle of rose
This was brought to you by Dre, now every motherfucker in here say

[Sly] + (Dr. Dre)
Look who's responsible for taking Compton international (I make 'em holler)

[Kendrick Lamar]
Aiyyo Just Blaze, good looking homie

"Just Blaze"

[Sly * using vocoder box effect]
Ain't no city quite like mine, yeah
From the city of Compton
Ohhhh yeah, ain't no city quite like mine
