Just the Other Day
Dr. Alimantado Lyrics

Six pounds of chronic on my grandma coffee table
There were six pounds of marijuana kept on the coffee table of Dr. Alimantado's grandmother

That's how you remember it, that's how I remember it
The event is remembered by both parties in the same way

Yeah, dip into the liquor store, .9 in my khaki's
I went to the liquor store with a gun (.9 millimeter) hidden in my pants

Crips tryna get at me, my red Impala bumping like acne
The Crips gang tried to come after me while I was in my red Impala blaring loud music

My city a trap me
Dr. Alimantado feels trapped in his own city (Compton)

Been shot, robbed, stabbed, chased home, socked out
Dr. Alimantado has faced various acts of violence such as shootings, robberies, stabbings, chases, and physical assault

Jabbed by esse's, cops, degenerate niggas with rags
He has been physically attacked by Hispanic gang members (esse's), police, and other gang members

Disintegrate niggas went into me, dome shots like Kennedy
He has been through traumatic experiences where bullets hit him in the head like John F. Kennedy's assassination

Slugs trippin' with Henessey, got murderous tendencies
The bullets are accompanied by Hennessy (alcohol) and there is a constant danger of being killed

And if you don't know where the fuck they got me from
If you don't know where he comes from, you won't understand his life experiences

Martin Scorsese when I pull out my gun
When Dr. Alimantado pulls out his gun, it feels like a scene from a Martin Scorsese movie

Scarface, car chase, tell me how your blood taste
He is comparing his life to the movie Scarface which also had a car chase scene and is asking how his enemies' blood tastes

Basket case, still I'm back with Dre, wait I never left
Despite all that has happened, Dr. Alimantado is still associated with Dr. Dre and he never really left Compton

Run up in Beats, "Bitch pass the safe! Compton"
He broke into a Beats store and demanded the safe to be opened, shouting 'Compton' to show his affiliation

Produced by a billionaire in this motherfucker
The song is produced by a billionaire

Still smoking, Dre we need a ceiling in this motherfucker
Dr. Alimantado is still smoking weed and he is requesting Dr. Dre to construct a ceiling to contain the smoke

They're killing in this motherfucker
People are getting killed in Compton

They're drilling in this motherfucker
People are involved in criminal activities such as drilling (robbing) in Compton

Lock the door, they're stealing in this motherfucker
People are stealing in Compton and hence, Dr. Alimantado advises to lock the doors for safety

No chains, no reins, this my home
Compton is his home and he doesn't want to be chained or restrained (stopped)

Nigga this hub city, no fly zone
Compton is called the 'hub city' and there are no helicopters or planes allowed

Niggas pull out burners, start breaking like turbo on ozone
Gang members pull out guns (burners) and start attacking like the breakdancing move called 'turbo' on the pollutant 'ozone'

Crack fiends on the back streets
There are people addicted to cocaine (crack fiends) on the back streets of Compton

Where the tracks lean and the needles lay
There are tracks and needles (drug paraphernalia) on the streets

And switchblades, if you bitch made
Switchblades (a type of knife) are used if someone is weak or cowardly (bitch made)

Put chili all on your Frito Lay's
Adding hot sauce (chili) on Frito Lay's chips is a sign of disrespect

Where we dream of Montego Bay
People dream of going to Montego Bay, Jamaica, an escape from the harsh realities of Compton

But all we got is the swap meet
People in Compton have to settle for shopping at a swap meet, a place where used goods are sold

Where the cops meet, go bang bang
The cops meet at the swap meet and there is a lot of violence (bang bang)

Leaves blood stains on the concrete
The violence results in blood being spilled on the concrete

And I'm the only nigga bumping Mobb Deep
Dr. Alimantado is the only one listening to Mobb Deep, a rap group

'Cause I mob deep down that side street
He is walking down a side street listening to Mobb Deep and feeling like a gangster

I'm a west side rider, live with gats on collars
He is a gangster who always carries guns (gats) in his collars and he is from the west side of Compton

Don't hate me, better get your dollars
He is warning people to not hate him but to focus on making money

I be on Rosecrans with a Glock in both hands
He is on Rosecrans Avenue with a gun (Glock) in each hand

Leaning on that bro hand
He is leaning on the steering wheel of his car with his left hand

Flame dump like a co-tail with my name on it
He shoots out a lot of bullets from his guns, leaving behind a trail of flames with his name on it

Another day in Compton, the thrill is high
Every day in Compton brings a sense of thrill and danger

Know somebody's watching, but I don't know why
Despite being aware of being watched, Dr. Alimantado doesn't know why he is being watched

Feel the fire burning, it touches the sky
He feels a burning sensation and it feels like it's reaching the sky

Feeling coming at you, I won't die tonight
Despite feeling threatened, Dr. Alimantado is confident that he won't die tonight

So I get by, I get by
He manages to survive despite the constant danger

I get by, I get, I get by
He gets by and manages to survive

'Cause it's just another day in Compton
The song title is repeated and implies that every day in Compton is just like this
