Issues
Dr. Dre feat. Ice Cube & Anderson Paak Lyrics

From close range we official
We are legitimately one of the best.

Cocaine, money and pistols
We come from a world of drugs, money and violence.

Goddammit I got issues
I have personal problems that I need to sort through.

Can't be serious
I don’t want to take things too seriously.

Alright now here we go
Let’s get started.

Where my city at?
Where is my hometown?

Fuck with me, come on
I dare you to mess with me.

I know you're feelin' that
I know you are impressed.

You know I'm really that
You know that I am the real deal.

Don't even act like I ain't about my business
Don't pretend like I am not serious about what I do.

Mothafucka come on!
Come on, don't be afraid.

Full clip, ammunition
I'm prepared with everything I need.

You don't wanna deal with these fuckin' consequences
You do not want to deal with the repercussions of crossing me.

Fuckboys should tighten up a whole lot
Those who are not serious should step up their game.

I got some niggas with me down for runnin' up in your spot
I have friends who are ready to do whatever it takes to get what we want.

And these niggas got hatchets and ratchets
My friends are well-armed.

Some of them lethals up under the mattress
Some of their weapons are hidden under the mattress.

And matter of fact this is a chance to show my lifestyle out to the masses
This is an opportunity for me to display my lifestyle to the public.

But chances are I might get another negative reaction
It is possible that not everyone will appreciate what I have to offer.

They got my fraction but I fucks 'em up like battery acid
They may have a portion of the money, but I will still defeat them.

Who gives a fuck what you think, nigga? This is my passion
I do not care about your opinion. This is what I love doing.

Ride through the time, you know my name, you know my reputation
I have been around for a long time, and people know who I am and what I represent.

You know what it is, I don't need to give no explanation
You already know what I am about. There's no need to explain further.

When you say my fuckin' name, add exclamation
My name should be spoken with excitement and enthusiasm.

Los Angeles king now, make your bitch bring crowns
I am the king of Los Angeles now. Even your girlfriend should show me respect.

To me and Dre, you don't like it, you can lay
My friend and I are in charge. If you don't like it, then leave.

Think I'm quiet cause I'm actin', but my bank account gon' say
Just because I'm not always talking about it doesn't mean I'm not successful.

Fuck you! Respected from SoCal out to the Bay
I don't care what you think. I am respected from Southern California to the Bay Area.

Cashed a lot of checks this mornin', guess today was a good day
I made a lot of money today. It seems like a good day.

Now I lay me down
I am going to bed.

And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town
Unfortunately, violence is a common occurrence where I live.

Good mornin'
Good morning to everyone, despite the violence.

And the sleepers'll join the fallen
More violence has occurred and more people have died.

Comp-town, Hub, this my fuckin' committee
I represent Compton and the surrounding areas as part of my team.

Shout out to Dub C, real nigga be with me
Shout out to Westside Connection, a group that I am part of.

C-Walkin' on these niggas with a crease in them Dickies
I'm walking with confidence and style, representing my city.

You know how many nights I heard them sparks echo in the park?
I have lived through many nights where gunshots could be heard.

Around this time I was spinnin' records at Eve After Dark
I used to be a DJ at Eve After Dark around the same time.

My CD crazy, school girls used to play with that chalk
My music was so popular that even schoolgirls listened to it.

Same chalk police used to outline niggas we lost
Unfortunately, the police used to use chalk to outline the bodies of dead young men.

You understand what I'm sayin'? Shit is crazy, man
Do you see what I'm getting at? This is a messed up situation.

Fuck the money, yo this shit could never change me, man
I don't care about the money. It will never change who I am.

These new niggas in this bitch could never phase me, man
The new guys on the scene will never scare me.

I know it's strange but on some real shit it's plain as day
It might seem strange, but the truth is obvious.

I’m just havin' some fuckin' fun with this rap shit
I'm just enjoying myself with this rap career.

Nigga with an attitude, still gettin' active
I may have an attitude, but I'm still making moves.

Man this industry to me, it feels a little plastic
The music industry doesn't feel genuine to me.

I ain't heard nothin' that I can consider classic
I haven't heard any new music that stands the test of time.

But this is for my niggas who been runnin' with me
This song is dedicated to my loyal friends who have been with me through thick and thin.

And everybody in this bitch that's out there gunnin' for me
And also to anyone who is trying to stop me.

And I got love for my people that stay one hundred with me
I appreciate my friends who stay true and loyal.

I'ma keep it A1, been that way since day one
I'll always be real and honest, just like I have been from the beginning.

Drama make the city happy
For some reason, drama brings excitement to the city.

All I think about is makin' classics
My main focus is making timeless, classic music.

Classics for the masses
My goal is to make classic music for everyone to enjoy.

This how you make, classic
This is what it takes to create a classic song.

This is where I leave you
I'm saying goodbye to someone.

Carry you
I will always remember you.

In the city of Compton
In my hometown of Compton.

Down the Pacific Coast
Along the west coast of the United States.

And I will miss you
I will miss the person I am saying goodbye to.
