[Verse 1 - Game:]
Back when Dot was hangin' at Top's in the Benzo
Freestylin' to them Chronic instrumentals, no pens and pencils

I was out there Bloodin' like a menstrual
With a Backwood clinched between my dentals, way back when
When we was outside with the indo

Hotboxin' rentals in front of Centennial, remedial thoughts
Never thought that I would amount to %#@!
Smoke chronic, $#&@ (*##$es, ride around bouncin' %#@!

From Impalas to that Harley truck, to dishraggin' (*##$es
That was hard to $#&@, I came up, it was hardly luck
Just left Compton, and I ain't have to use my AK

What a day, what a day

[Verse 2 - Kendrick Lamar:]

Back when my drivers license, was baby faced and triflin'
I made my way through crisis, I made my tape
And recorded portraits in front of sirens, I made you hate the vibrant

You can't escape the tyrant, you can't relate where I've been
In '98 my problem, actin' too grown and %#@!
Cappin' at (*##$es, yeah my religion through songs and %#@!

On me, that's on me
Raise up, ^!$$%, you are not the homie
(*##$ I'm well-connected from my section down to Long Beach

Fumblin' with Tetris if your block neglectin' your ki
Everyday I wake up with my face up to my father
Makin' sure my heart is pure enough to grow my seedâ?¨And harvest All my king stuffin', double up my plantation with dollar

Every dream is such reality, my deja vu done caught up
(*##$ I'm brought up with the homies, that's on me
24/7, Kendrick reppin' these cold streets

Know we live by it, die by it, then reincarnate
And if Game told me, "Drive by it, " I raise AK
Ain't no shame on it, cry about it, $#&@ that, I'll play

Like no name on it, blindsided, ain't no one safe
Documentary had identities of where I'm from
Therefore my energy had to make sure the better me won

It ain't no better one, son, it ain't no tellin' me nothin'
^!$$% it's Chuck, Doc Dre and K, the legacy's done, BLAOW!


[Interlude - Kendrick Lamar:]
Oh man, you thought these ^!$$%s with attitude would show gratitude
Fooled you

From 2015 to infinity it's still bomb weed and Hennessy
I can pimp a butterfly for the energy
Game I need acapella


[Verse 3 - Game:]
There I go, give me a minute, ^!$$%

'Bout to hit a home run, K. Dot, grab the pennant, ^!$$%
Pin it on my Pendleton, trap late night, Jay Leno them
Got my mom a tennis bracelet, Wimbledon of Wilmington

Now can I rap for a minute? Black on the track for a minute
Look in my rhyme book, see murder like when I was a fan of No Limit
Ain't no gimmicks 'round here, this Compton, me, Doc and Kendrick

Chronic, good kid, my first year, 3 documentaries
Now I'm blockin' sentries, 16 Impalas
They bounce like they need a dollar

That's on my mama, ^!$$%s up and did me a solid
I put that on me, that's on me
You get a bullet $#&@in' with the lil' homie

Thinkin' back then like $#&@ your rules, ^!$$% this is Piru
Slide through with the Erykah Badu
West side Compton, ^!$$% don't mind if I do

From Piru Street to my old street
^!$$% this Compton, grew up on a dead end
Got an armful of dead friends

Round here Crips be sweatin' us ^!$$%s like a headband
Like what's up cause
(Yo dawg where you from?)

No time to stop and think
Pull your strap before they do or you get shot before you blink
Straight outta Compton, 3 times I told you

The third time I said it with TDE motha$#&@a
I'll make you eat every letter
Spoonfeed you ^!$$%s like toddlers, from the city of Impalas

When shot callers take their pitbulls and feed them ^!$$%s rottweilers
My clip full, I quick pull, no more slangin' 8 balls on the corner
And all them ^!$$%s I used to freestyle with, I ate y'all on the corner
Call the coroner, ^!$$%s dead out here
Hangin' onto life by a thread out here

Them ^!$$%s wearin' all that red out here
P snapbacks on ^!$$%s heads out here
So don't you come $#&@in' with the little homie
So OG they call me Tony
Montana, no French, my red bandana legit

My uncle told me before he died, "Just keep your hand on the brick"
So I did
Sell every chicken that a ^!$$% had in stock, yes I did
Walked to Compton, hot pocket full of rocks, yes I did
Skipped class, yes I did, whooped ^!$$%s $$#, yes I did

$#&@ed a (*##$ behind the bleachers while on the rag, that's on Bloods
Westside, that's on Bloods, this TEC fly, that's on Bloods
You $#&@ with Dot, I'll let you choke on your blood
I put that...


[Hook - Kendrick Lamar:]
On me, that's on me
On me, that's on me
On me, that's on me
Raise up, ^!$$% you are not the homie
On me, that's on me

On me, that's on me
On me, that's on me
Raise up, ^!$$% you are not the homie
