Now everybody serenade the new fate of Kendrick Lamar

This is King Kendrick Lamar

King Kendrick and I meant it

My point intended is raw

Fix your lenses forensics woulda told you Kendrick got killed and pretend its a massacre

And the masses upon us

And I master being the the master at dodging your honor

And the chapter that read at 25, I will live dormant like 5 in the morning

Then raid your spot while Kendrick’s performing

And if they take everything know I got

Hook:

Compton, Compton

Ain't no city quite like mine

(Hey Dre whats happening with it my nigga)

Dr Dre:

Still I’m at it, peel the plastic off it

You could 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 back with a batch, I’m banging 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’ve come a long way from a hundred dollars a month

To a hundred mill in a day

Bitch I’m from...

Hook:

Compton, Compton

Ain't no city quite like mine

Kendrick Lamar:

So come and visit, the tires screeching

Ambulance, policeman

Won’t you spend a weekend on Rosecrans nigga

Khaki crease and crime increasing on Rosecrans nigga

Kendrick Conan nigga

Where your sword at?

Hand on the cross and swore that

I do it big, it’s Rasputia for you shooters

Kamasutra screaming fuck your position and make you hold that

I’m trying to stay grounded like four flats

But I know Flex and piru crip tatts

They swarm on me like a beehive hoop in the G ride

From the west to the east side

Know just how Compton roll

Dr Dre & Kendrick Lamar:

And that’s a given

I pass the blunt then pass the torch

Of course it’s my decision

I crashed the ports that you report

That you see me in Benzes

I must report that we import them 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 expected

I’m sure it’s bigger than your religion

Perfected by niggas that manifested music to live in

Hook:

Compton, compton

Ain't no city quite like mine

Dr Dre:

So tell that gangsta throw his set high

Roll it up in a blunt, I’mma take you on that next high

I did exactly what I wanted, that’s what made them checks fly...

In my direction, you never question when I said I…

Will be a mogul before I visit Tupac 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 forever stand by…

Compton, Compton

Ain't no city quite like mine

Kendrick Lamar:

Now we can all celebrate, we can all harvest the rap artist of NWA

America target a 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, 10 bottles of Rose

This was brought to you by Dre

Now every muthafucka in here say

Look who responsible for taking Compton international

I make ‘em holla oooooooh

Eh yo Just Blaze, good looking homie

(Just Blaze, just blaze)

Ain't no city quite like mine
