Issues
Ice Cube Dr. Dre Anderson .Paak Dem Jointz Lyrics

From close range we official
We are well-established and respected from close up

Cocaine, money and pistols
We deal with dangerous and illicit substances and handle large amounts of money

Goddammit I got issues
I have personal problems that are causing distress and frustration

Can't be serious
This situation is too absurd or ridiculous to be taken seriously

Alright now here we go
Let's get started or move on to the next thing

Where my city at?
Calling out to the city of origin or hometown

Fuck with me, come on
Challenging someone to test or confront me

I know you're feelin' that
I am confident that you are enjoying or connecting with my music

You know I'm really that
I am truly talented and successful

Don't even act like I ain't about my business
Do not pretend that I am not fully devoted to my career

Full clip, ammunition
I am fully prepared and armed

You don't wanna deal with these fuckin' consequences
You will suffer the severe consequences of challenging me

Fuckboys should tighten up a whole lot
Individuals with weak or cowardly character need to improve themselves

I got some niggas with me down for runnin' up in your spot
I have some associates who are willing to confront and potentially harm you in your territory

These niggas got hatchets and ratchets
My associates have weapons like hatchets and firearms

Some of them lethals up under the mattress
Some of these weapons are stored under a bed or mattress

And matter of fact this is a chance to show my lifestyle out to the masses
This is an opportunity to showcase my lifestyle and persona to a large audience

But chances are I might get another negative reaction
There is a possibility that my actions or words will be negatively received

They got my fraction but I fucks 'em up like battery acid
My opponents have a partial understanding of my success, but I still dominate them with force

Who gives a fuck what you think, nigga? This is my passion
I do not care about your opinion, this is my calling and purpose in life

Ride through the time, you know my name, you know my reputation
My reputation has stood the test of time, and people are familiar with my name and legacy

You know what it is, I don't need to give no explanation
You already know my background and accomplishments, I do not need to clarify or justify myself

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

Los Angeles king now, make your bitch bring crowns
I am the current king of Los Angeles, and demand respect and admiration from others

To me and Dre, you don't like it, you can lay
Dr. Dre and I are a powerful duo, and if you are not a supporter, you should back away

Think I'm quiet cause I'm actin', but my bank account gon' say
Even if I appear calm and unassuming, my wealth and financial success speaks otherwise

Fuck you! Respected from SoCal out to the Bay
Despite critics or enemies, I am still held in high esteem from Southern California to the Bay Area

Cashed a lot of checks this mornin', guess today was a good day
I have received a large amount of money recently and consider it a good day

Now I lay me down
I am going to sleep

And wake up to gunshots in this crazy town
I live in a dangerous and chaotic environment

Good mornin'
Sarcastically acknowledging the morning despite the negative circumstances

And the sleepers'll join the fallen
More people will be killed or harmed as a result of the violence

Drama make the city happy
Conflict and chaos bring excitement and entertainment to the city

All I think about is makin' classics
My main focus and priority is creating timeless and influential music

Classics for the masses
I aim to appeal to a large and diverse audience with my music

This how you make, classic
This is the formula or method for creating classic music

This is where I leave you
This is where I say goodbye to you

Carry you
I will always remember and cherish our time together

In the city of Compton
Specifically, I will remember our shared experiences in Compton

Down the Pacific Coast
I will also remember our shared experiences along the Pacific Coast

And I will miss you
I will feel the absence of your presence and camaraderie
