DR. DRE - Deep Water lyrics
rate me(Intro)
(Where u from, man?)
(Backdrop of man [Kendrick] drowning while screaming "Help Me!")
Q: What is going on in Compton, I don't understand it?
A: 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
(Verse: Dr. Dre)
I heard u talkin' about respect
I gave u niggas the utmost (the utmost)
All u niggas the utmost (the utmost)
Would u look ova Picasso's shoulder
And tell him about his brush strokes?
Them opinions, I don't trust those
I apologize, the city made a nigga so cut-throat
Every hood love me, but it started on one coast
Could've stopped in eighty six but I knew that u would want more
I'm on the throne in a place some niggas won't go
Don't get it fucked up
(Hook)
Been away from home
Been away from home
All night long
(All they want to know is
Where u from? Where u from?
Where u from nigga, huh?
Compton)
(Verse 2: Dr. Dre)
Pst, 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)
Where them sharks at nigga, down in the deep water
Listen, listen, listen, all u niggas swimming in the info
Go fuck around and drown in the specifics
Always goin' ovaboard, used to be my kinfolk
Now u sleeping wit the motherfuckin' fishes
(Swimming wit 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 want to visit
Tryna re-up that prescription (that prescription)
Yup, yeah, re up
That's my nigga, water colors couldn't even paint the picture
If they don't get the picture, fuck them
Yeah, drugs by the dozen
U might just want to go and check the children
(U might just want to check ur fuckin' children)
I'm the one that got they ear, fo' many years
I been making parents live in fear
I just want to make it clear
My influence run deep like the ocean
Don't get it fucked up
(Hook)
(Interlude)
Feel's like you're drowning, don't u?
About a hundred miles down in that ocean
It's ova, should have neva jumped in
If u can't swim (if u can't swim, if u can't swim)
Oh my God, where's a life guard when u need one?
(Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar)
Motherfucker know I started from the bottom, vodka baby bottle
Mixin' up wit Similac, my mama knew I had a problem
Wasn't thinking about no rapping, I was drinking fo' a dolla
Putting quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla
No releasing me, I got the beast in me
I got to holla, keep the decency and make them TNT my product
I'm a C-O-M-P-T-O-Novator, energizer
Innacity bullet fly till that bitch on auto pilot (Shit)
I don't give a fuck about yo whereabouts
All I care about is wearing out yo area
And airing out yo upper body
When I catch ya, walking out yo parents house
(Don't get it fucked up)
Probably got fucked up tryna park his tour bus
Not knowing what's what
Or who's who, living in the L.A 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 fo' everybody
Switch it up befo' 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's no vegetarian
The beef is on his breath, inheriting the drama betta than
A great white, nigga this is life in my aquarium
(Don't get it fucked up)
(Hook)
(Interlude)
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
(Outro)
**Panting** Help me
Feels like you're drowning
I'm drowning
**Panting** Help me
Help me, help me
Somebody help me
(Should have neva jumped in
If u, if u can't swim)
Help me **panting**
Help me, help me, help me
I can't, I can't breathe
I can't wait, help
(Where's a lifeguard when u need one?)
God please, please help me, please
Please help me, please help
Please help, please, please!
