Dr. Dre, Anderson .Paak, Justus, Kendrick Lamar - Deep Water lyrics

Where you from, nigga? (Help me)

"What is going on in Compton?
I don't understand it"
"Well as it relates to this
This is not in my
Field as the clerk so anything
That relates to this
You'll probably have to get an
Answer from Dr dre"

I heard you talking about respect
I gave you niggas the utmost
All you niggas the utmost
Would you look over Picasso's shoulder
And tell him 'bout his brush strokes?
Them opinions, I don't trust those
I apologize
The city made a nigga so cutthroat
Every hood love me
But it started on one coast


Could've stopped in '86 but I knew
That you would want more
I'm on the throne in a
Place some niggas won't go

(Don't get it fucked up) Been away from home
But I ain't been gone that long
(All they wanna know is: where
You from? Where you from?
Where you from, nigga, huh? Compton)

Psst! This is about where I'm from
I think it's time to take these
Niggas to the deep water
Yeah, down in the Pacific
(The Pacific) , representin'
Where them sharks at, nigga
Down in the deep water

Listen, listen, listen
All you niggas swimming in the info
Go fuck around and drown in the specifics
Always going overboard, used to be my kinfolk
Now you sleeping with
The motherfuckin' fishes
(Swimming with the mothefuckin' fishes
What the business?)
These niggas won't let up until
They all wet up
(Don't get it fucked up) Naw, nigga!
Now everybody wanna visit tryna
Re-up that prescription
(That prescription, yep, yeah, re-up)
That's my nigga
Watercolors couldn't even paint the picture
If they don't get the picture, fuck them
Yeah, drugs by the dozen
You might just wanna go
And check the children
(You might just wanna check
Your fuckin' children)
I'm the one that got they ear
Ah, for many years
I been making parents live in fear
I just wanna make it clear: My
Influence run deep like the ocean

(Don't get it fucked up) Been away from home
But I ain't been gone that long
(All they wanna know is: where
You from? Where you from?
Where you from, nigga, huh? Compton)

Feels like you're drowning, don't you?
About a hundred miles down in that ocean
It's over, shoulda never jumped in
If you can't swim
(If you can't swim, if you can't swim)
Oh my God
Where's a lifeguard when you need one?

Motherfucker know I started from the bottom
Vodka baby bottle mixin' that with Similac
My momma knew I had a problem
Wasn't thinking 'bout no rapping
I was juuging for a dollar
Putting quarter pieces in the black
Caprice and make it holla
No policing me, I got the beast in me
I gotta holla
Keep the decency and make them TNT my product
I'm a C-O-M-P T-O-innovator, energizer
Inner city bullet flyin' 'til that
Bitch on auto pilot ah, shit! I don't give a
Fuck about your whereabouts
All I care about is wearing out your area
And airing out your upper body
When I catch ya walking
Out your parents' house
(Don't get it fucked up) Homie got fucked up
Tryna park his tour bus
Not knowing what's what
Or who's who, living in the LA county zoo
Pick them off like a big dog, motherfucker
Woof!
Once upon a time, I shot a nigga on accident
(Boom, boom, boom) i tried to kill him but I
Guess I needed more practicing
(Boom, boom, boom)
That's when I realized banging
Wasn't for everybody
Switch it up before my enemy
Or the sheriff got me
They liable to bury him
They nominated six to carry him
They worry him to death, but he no vegetarian
The beef is on his breath
Inheriting the drama better than
A great white, nigga
This is life in my aquarium

(Don't get it fucked up) Been away from home
Been away from home all night long
(All they wanna know is: where you from?
Where you from, nigga, huh? Compton)

This is about where I'm from
I think it's time to take these
Niggas to the deep water
Yeah, down in the Pacific
Where them sharks at, nigga
Down in the deep water

Help me (Feels like you're drowning)
I'm drowning help me, help me, help me
Somebody help me (Shoulda never jumped in
If you, if you can't swim) help me
Help me, help me, help me
I can't, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, help
(Where's a lifeguard when you need one?)
God, please, please help me, please
Please help me, please help
Please help, please, please
