Water
Dr. Seahorse Lyrics

I heard you talking about respect, I gave you niggas the utmost (the utmost)
I heard you speaking about respect and I have given all of you my absolute best.

All you niggas the utmost (the utmost)
All of you have received my highest level of effort.

Would you look over Picasso's shoulder and tell him about his brush strokes?
Would you dare to criticize a master like Picasso and his technique?

Them opinions, I don't trust those
I do not rely on or trust the opinions of others.

I apologize, the city made a nigga so cut-throat
I apologize, it was the city that made me ruthless and driven.

Every hood love me, but it started on one coast
I am loved by every neighborhood, but it all began on one coast.

Coulda stopped in '86 but I knew that you would want more
I could have stopped in '86, but I knew that people would demand more from me.

I'm on the throne in a place some niggas won't go
I am in a position of power and influence that some people cannot achieve.

Don't get it fucked up
Do not misunderstand me or my intentions.

Been away from home
I have been away from my hometown.

All night long
All through the night.

(All they wanna know is
(All they want to know is,

Where you from? Where you from?
Where are you from?

Where you from nigga, huh?
Where are you from, my friend?

Compton)
Compton.)

Pst, this is about where I'm form
Hey, this is about where I come from.

I think it's time to take these niggas to the deep water
I believe it is time to challenge these individuals with more intense struggles.

Yeah, down in the Pacific (the Pacific)
Yes, in the Pacific Ocean.

Where them sharks at nigga, down in the deep water
Where are the sharks, my friend? Down in the deep water.

Listen, listen, listen
Pay attention to what I am saying.

All you niggas swimming in the info
All of you are swimming in the information available to you.

Gonna fuck around and drown in the specifics
You all may get lost or overwhelmed in the details.

Always going overboard, used to be my kinfolk
Always going too far, even though we used to be close.

Now you sleeping with the motherfuckin' fishes
Now you are dead and buried in the ocean.

(Swimming with the mothefuckin' fishes, what the business?)
(Swimming with the dead fish, what happened?)

These niggas won't let up until they all wet up
These individuals will not stop until they are all killed.

Naw nigga, now everybody wanna visit
No, my friend, now everyone wants to come to my hometown.

Tryna re-up that prescription (that prescription)
Attempting to refill that medication prescription.

Yup, yeah, re-up
Yes, let's refill it.

That's my nigga, water colors couldn't even paint the picture
That is my friend, words cannot fully describe their worth to me.

They don't get the picture, fuck them
They do not understand the value, forget them.

Yeah, drugs by the dozen
Yes, plenty of drugs.

You might just wanna go and check the children
You may want to check on the children.

(You might just wanna check your fuckin' children)
(You may want to check on your children.)

I'm the one that got they ear, for many years
I am the one who has their attention, for many years.

I been making parents live in fear
I have made parents afraid for their children's safety.

I just wanna make it clear
I want to be very clear.

My influence run deep like the ocean
My influence is far-reaching and powerful like the ocean.

Feel's like you're drowning, don't you?
It feels like you are suffocating, does it not?

About a hundred miles down in that ocean
About one hundred miles deep in that ocean.

It's over, shoulda never jumped in
It is too late, you should have never entered.

If you can't swim (if you can't swim, if you can't swim)
If you cannot swim,

Oh my God, where's a life guard when you need one?
Oh my God, where is a lifeguard when needed?

Motherfucker know I started from the bottom, vodka baby bottle
People know I started from the very bottom, drinking vodka from a baby bottle.

Mixin' up with Similac, my momma knew I had a problem
Mixing vodka and infant formula, my mother knew I had an addiction.

Wasn't thinking about no rapping, I was drinking for a dollar
I was not thinking about rapping, I was only concerned with making a dollar to fund my drinking habit.

Putting quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla
I would place quarters in the black Caprice and make the car alarm sound as a distraction.

No releasing me, I got the beast in me
I cannot be released, as I have a wild and unruly nature within me.

I gotta holla, keep the decency and make them TNT my product
I must shout, but I still strive to maintain a level of civility, and turn my anger into a product to make money.

I'm a C-O-M-P-T-O-innovator, energizer
I am from Compton and I am an innovator and motivator.

Inner-city bullet fly 'til that bitch on auto pilot (Shit)
Bullets fly in the inner-city until the situation becomes self-sustaining (Damn).

I don't give a fuck about your whereabouts
I am not concerned with your location.

All I care about is wearing out your area
My only concern is dominating and controlling the area where you are located.

And airing out your upper body
And shooting you in the chest or torso.

When I catch ya, walking out your parents house
When I catch you leaving your parents' home.

(Don't get it fucked up)
(Do not misunderstand me.)

Probably got fucked up tryna park his tour bus
He probably got killed attempting to park his tour bus.

Not knowing what's what
Without understanding the situation.

Or who's who, living in the L.A county zoo
Without knowing who's who, living in the chaos of Los Angeles.

Pick them off like a big dog, motherfucker, woof
I will take them out one by one, like a big dog, barking like a motherfucker.

Once upon a time, I shot a nigga on accident (boom, boom, boom)
Once upon a time, I accidentally shot someone (bang, bang, bang).

I tried to kill him but I guess I needed more practicing (boom, boom, boom)
I attempted to kill him, but I suppose I still need more practice with my weapon (bang, bang, bang).

That's when I realized, banging wasn't for everybody
That is when I came to the understanding that gang life is not meant for everyone.

Switch it up before my enemy or the sheriff got me
I needed to make a change before my enemy or the police caught me.

They liable to bury him, they nominated six to carry him
They may even bury me, and there may be six people chosen to carry my casket.

They worry him to death, but he's no vegetarian
They worry him to death, but he is not weak or defenseless like a vegetarian.

The beef is on his breath, inheriting the drama better than
He is comfortable with conflict and stress, and is able to handle it better than others.

A great white, nigga this is life in my aquarium (Don't get it fucked up)
Like a great white shark, my life is lived in my own dangerous and predatory environment (Do not misunderstand me).
