[Verse 1: The Game]
I don't read the XXL
Tote a four-five to church, think I'm destined for hell, oh well
Blood tears off the face of my Jesus piece
It's bloodshed fill the cracks in my city streets
I'm from the crack of them city streets
Used to sell crack in them city streets, born in blood, nigga
In a coma five days, life of a thug nigga
Mama ain't show, grandma almost pulled the plug, nigga
Used to pull the gun out just because these cuz niggas
Five shots to the head 'cause I'm a Blood nigga
Nothin' brewin' but suwoo'ing where the fuck I'm from
You lucky if you make it out of Compton, ask Andre Young
Smell the scent of dead bodies ridin' down Green Leaf
No peace, so don't get caught up with no piece
Fuck Fatburger, we cookin' that real beef
Mamas mournin' they sons, I'm talkin' real grief
Real funerals of them lost juveniles
Tryna be generals, be missin' your dinner now, huh
Say it's a blessing when you die in your sleep
'Cause the coroner don't need no sheets, capisce?
I'm sayin', stop playin', wrap him up in what he lay in
Fold a nigga arms, now a casket what he pray in
Compton streets raised me
Can't tell my grandma nothin' 'bout her baby, you crazy
[Chorus: Tank]
Said she see no evil, she don't hear nothin' at all
You wanna see tomorrow, you promise not to talk
Said we on our way now, I'ma see you again
And when they ask you questions, you just answer
What happened to them?
What happened to them?
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
I live this life at a pace that anyone can go
Know your place and dedicate your role to the faith that you'll die alone
Trace your steps when I do step in that fire of broken bones
And I require my heart's desire and when I reap what I sow
I bought my mama a Benz, my boobie a Jag
A car for my dogs with a roof full of glass
But still, I be feeling like none of my light never casts
Out of that black cloud that's been watered down since my first chopper blast
But fuck that, I'm not worried, mm, even when it's scary, mm
Skrrt off, makin' them hurt off, should've heard them in a hurry, mm
Dirt off all of my fingers, dirt on all of them gone that's buried, mm
Shirt off when procedure, resuscitation came early
I need you to keep quiet as a mouse
Which is ironic 'cause rats is what I'm talkin' 'bout
I'm hearin' the sonics of gunfire, the whisper, the silent cries
Even though we know it's eye for an eye
[Chorus: Tank]
Said she see no evil (Yeah), she don't hear nothin' at all (Oh)
You wanna see tomorrow, you promise not to talk (Promise not to talk)
Said we on our way now, I'ma see you again
And when they ask you questions, you just answer
What happened to them? (Oh)
What happened to them?
[Bridge: Tank]
I was born a soldier, ride or die for mine
Tattoo tears and a lawyer tryna give me life
Heaven, can you hear me? 'Cause I know that hell can
So, heaven, can you heal me? I'm only just a man, oh
[Verse 3: The Game]
You wanna go to Compton? Nigga, I'll take you there
Hub City, bodies get burnt butt-naked here
Respect the code, a nigga's callin' from the pen'
Colombian neckties on the outside from within
And then your mama never see you again
Casket to never wake up, plastered in MAC make-up, huh
Niggas can't hear you talkin' from the sky
And only five-year-olds see your ghost when you die, no lie
Karma catches up to all you head honchos
Two dome shots in that head,Griselda Blanco
Shit get real, though, inside the Fox Hills, though
Nigga livin' that fast life and get killed slow
Ask Wack and Draws if a nigga run the streets
My grandmother's prayers saved you niggas, I never wanted peace
Los Angeles, I'm the motherfuckin' king here
No First 48 'cause motherfuckers don't sing here, huh
[Chorus: Tank]
Said she see no evil, she don't hear nothin' at all
You wanna see tomorrow (Yeah), you promise not to talk (Don't do it)
Said we on our way now (Yeah), I'ma see you again (See you again)
And when they ask you questions, you just answer
What happened to them? (Tell me)
What happened to them? (Yeah)
