My bills are paid
And everything's okay
It's like every day here
Summertime in L.A
[Verse 1: Game]
I'm from Compton, home of the fiends
Home of the monsters, home of triple beams
Home of the shattered f**ing dreams
Where most n***as I grew up with ain't make it to see they teens
Ain't no Freddy, ain't no Jason, but n***as too scared to dream
And they ripping pages out of them books bout Dr. King
You don't wanna know half the sh** I seen
Where reading a magazine get you hit with a magazine
n***as ain't scared to murder cause the jails too packed
k** a n***a, he be out before the "R.I.P." tat
I seen Raider snapbacks by Starter
Then I seen Dre make that Sox hat harder
Then I seen Makavelli go at Shawn Carter
Then I seen that block where B.I.G. got slaughtered
Then I knew it was my calling
G the f** up or die balling
Lace them red Chucks up, but die falling
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
I'm rising in this game and it feels great
Still trying to keep it real, n***as still fake
I'm so impatient, but I still wait
Dropped The Marathon in November, n***as still late
Still show love when I feel hate
On a scale of one to ten, need a high heel eight
Or better, blowing this cheddar like I'm Bill Gates
Whatever, I'm in to win til this movie ends
Smoking California, eating Peruvian
Out on Miami Beach, my n***as, a few of them
Just like Beverly Hills, the b**hes we usually wear
From wishing on a star, n***a, took it far
And if I lost it all to war, I wouldn't trip at all
It sound crazy when I say it
But the fear of falling off is the only thing that could take it
I'm straight
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Game]
I got my hoodie on, it's a Starter
I'mma rock this motherf**er for Trayvon Martin
I'mma rock this motherf**er for Trayvon's daughter
That he coulda had; where's his k**er at? The whole hood is mad
That ain't the first time, won't be the last
See reflections of my past while I guzzle through this gla**
Make me want to run up on you with the muzzle -- "Where the cash?"
Retaliation is none, n***as can't afford the gas
Got a mansion in the Hills, Rottweilers by the gates
Red Ghost's in the driveway and ducks by the lake
Spending time with my daughter so them ducks gotta wait
Let a n***a call it a duck, he gonna eat a .38
I'm supposed to be this f**ing rich
I'm supposed to be this f**ing great
I'm a menace to society, no Larenz Tate
But me and my n***as straight and
[Hook]
