[00:00.28]	Leave the angels in the city
[00:13.54]	Leave the angels in the city
[00:15.71]
[00:26.09]	Tell them muthaf-ckas I’m forever paid
[00:28.28]	California king wrestle gators in the Everglades
[00:31.53]	Drive up out that muthaf-ckin swamp in the Escalade
[00:34.76]	So before you put that Red rag in your pocket I wanna see your f-ckin resume
[00:39.66]	Started off on Ground Zero, then I start to levitate
[00:43.16]	Rip rappers a new asshole: I never hesitate
[00:46.43]	Dre Beats on, smoking that chronic just to meditate
[00:49.17]
[00:49.75]	I’ma give em hurricanes until another Levee break
[00:53.04]	You niggas is featherweight, I’m Aftermath’s heavyweight
[00:56.16]	Now Dre’s weapon of mass destruction is ’bout to detonate
[00:59.65]	When a nigga wack found me, shit, I was selling weight
[01:03.08]	Now a nigga’s selling millions, now it’s time to celebrate
[01:06.43]	Performing in front of millions, nigga every race
[01:09.75]	64 in the ’64, now watch the Chevy scrape
[01:13.11]	4th album, no 5 mics? Then let ‘em hate
[01:16.48]	But I’m not stopping ’til I’m the f-cking king in every state
[01:19.98]	Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
[01:25.11]	Give me fuel for the fire burning when I yearn these lights
[01:27.85]	In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
[01:31.23]	Get familiar Cartwrightwith
[01:32.34]
[01:33.19]	Cause I wrote that shot, I’m a raging bull when the needle drops
[01:36.12]	For the record, I’mm wreck it, even if my record don’t pop
[01:39.31]	I’mma tie your knot on a Downtown building, let it tow behind me
[01:42.12]	Tell ‘em they can find me in with the dark the ghetto children look at my heart
[01:44.59]	Nigga f-ck your feelings, this is me
[01:46.71]	I’m sick of muthaf-ckers talking about “the West died”
[01:49.71]	Can’t you hear my heart beating?
[01:51.31]	That’s the motherf-ckin West side, you test me, you test God
[01:56.42]	I’m his son, insane songs, you come at me
[01:59.11]	Then I can split you with this Tommy gun
[02:01.24]	You won’t have no time to run
[02:03.05]	I’m from the Compton slums and that’s how the West ride
[02:06.11]	I’m from the city where 2 of the best died
[02:09.49]	Rest in peace to both of ‘em, spit like I’m the ghost of ‘em
[02:13.42]	Damn, I said I spit like I’m the ghost of ‘em
[02:16.40]	Name your top 10, I’m harder than the most of ‘em
[02:19.45]	Matter of fact, shorten your list nigga, top 5
[02:22.68]	Game, Biggie, Hov, prolly Pac, Nas, no particular order
[02:27.91]	Bet a mil that I slaughter, serve niggas, give a f-ck what you ordered
[02:31.85]	How dare you niggas pop fly
[02:34.35]	When I’m the nigga sold 5 mil out the gate and numbers do not lie
[02:39.08]	Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
[02:44.74]	Give me fuel for the fire burning when I yearn these lights
[02:47.48]	In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
[02:51.17]	Get familiar with Cartwright
[02:52.84]	Cause I wrote that shot, I’m a raging bull when the needle drops
[02:55.60]	For the record, I’mm wreck it, even if my record don’t pop
[02:58.70]	I’mma tie your knot on a Downtown building, let it tow behind me
[03:01.44]	Tell ‘em they can find me in the dark with the look ghetto at children my heart
[03:04.45]	Nigga f-ck your feelings, this is me
[03:06.18]	I gave you the Documentary, shit was a classic
[03:08.92]	Gave you Doctor’s Advocate, you ripped it out the package
[03:12.42]	Came with LAX, since critics said it was average
[03:15.55]	I was stressed the f-ck out, torn between Aftermath and
[03:18.99]	Geffen, Interscope, now I got you in the scope
[03:22.42]	Spill the red ink on the paper, it’s like my pen is broke
[03:25.97]	And this is what you all been waiting for
[03:29.02]	I’m the lost angel knocking on Satan’s door
[03:32.43]	What the f-ck y’all take me for? I love you cause you hate me more
[03:35.79]	I’m Kobe on the Lakers floor, except I give you 84
[03:38.85]	Shake you like Haiti’s floor, walk up on you
[03:42.27]	Like “what’s going on baby boy?” Shots in that Mercedes door
[03:45.25]	Either I’m crazy, or the black Slim Shady, or
[03:48.87]	Could that be the reason that Baby said he would pay me more
[03:52.18]	But I still owe Jimmy one more album
[03:55.24]	The best the West has ever seen, no disrespect to Calvin
[03:57.87]	Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
[04:04.37]	Give me fuel for the fire burning when I yearn these lights
[04:07.56]	In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
[04:10.82]	Get familiar with Cartwright
[04:12.49]	Cause I wrote that shot, I’m a raging bull when the needle drops
[04:15.24]	For the record, I’mm wreck it, even if my record don’t pop
[04:18.36]	I’mma tie your knot on a Downtown building, let it tow behind me
[04:21.62]	Tell ‘em they can find me in the dark with the ghetto children look at my heart
[04:24.45]	Nigga f-ck your feelings, this is me
[04:26.08]	Kendrick, And I wear pendant on my shoulder, soldier
[04:28.61]	Like a lieutenant, and the coupe tinted got pulled over
[04:31.42]	Johnny always lock a nigga down
[04:33.17]	Knowing damn well we don’t wanna see the box Manny like Pacquiao
[04:35.28]	Little nigga Mayweather size, ride like Pac in his prime
[04:37.97]	Thug life is now on radar
[04:39.46]	Til the federal come through and raid ours
[04:41.19]	Reminiscing when the LA Raiders
[04:42.56]	Was in my home, snapback fitted on my uncle’s dome
[04:45.39]	And I don’t condone dickriding
[04:46.81]	I’m addicted to Westsiding
[04:48.57]	Living in a city where the skinny niggas die
[04:50.25]	And the semi bullets but fly, it turn me to a lion
[04:52.10]	Trying, and I mean that shit
[04:55.53]	Game came through, put the city on his back
[04:56.55]	I was in the city with a nigga, had seen that shit
[04:58.23]	“Compton!”, nigga a gotta scream that shit
[05:00.35]	Never went commercial, Never T.V. screened that shit
[05:01.78]	Can’t block or screen that shit, now everybody sing that shit
[05:04.85]	Red, is a very emotionally intense colour.
[05:10.15]	It enhances Human metabolism, increases respiration rate and raises blood pressure.
[05:16.83]	It has a very high visibility, it is why stop signs, stop lights and fire equipments are usually painted red.
[05:24.58]	It also represents one third of California’s gang population.
[05:28.49]	Needless to say, please dress accordingly while visiting the Los Angeles area.
[05:33.43]	Also, tuck your jewellry, and keep your hands inside your vehicle.
[05:38.73]	Thank You! Enjoy it!
