Deep Water Lyrics - Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre - Dr. Dre

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 

I heard you talking about respect, I gave you niggas the utmost (the utmost) 

All you niggas the utmost (the utmost) 

Would you look over Picasso's shoulder and tell him about his brush strokes? 

Them opinions, I don't trust those 

I apologize, the city made a niggas so cut-throat 

Every hood love me, but it started on one coast 

Coulda stopped in '86 but I knew that you would want more 

I'm on the throne in a place some niggas won't go 

Don't get it fucked up 

Been away from home 

Been away from home 

All night long 

(All they wanna know is 

Where you from? Where you from?

Where you from nigga, huh? 

Compton) 

Pst, this is about round for them 

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 you niggas swimming in the info 

Gonna fuck around and drown in the specifics 

Always going overboard, used to be my kinfolk 

Now you sleeping with the motherfuckin' fishes 

(Swimming with 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 wanna visit 

Tryna re-up that prescription (that prescription) 

Yup, yeah, re-up 

That's my nigga, water colors couldn't even paint the picture 

They don't get the picture, fuck them 

Yeah, drugs by the dozen 

You might just wanna go and check the children 

(You might just wanna check your fuckin' children) 

I'm the one that got they ear, for many years 

I been making parents live in fear 

I just wanna make it clear 

My influence run deep like the ocean 

Don't get it fucked up 

Been away from home 

Been away from home 

All night long 

(All they wanna know is 

Where you from? Where you from? 

Where you from nigga, huh? 

Compton) 

Feel's like you're drowning, don't you? 

About a hundred miles down in that ocean 

It's over, shoulda never jumped in 

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

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

Motherfucker know I started from the bottom, vodka baby bottle 

Mixin' up with Similac, my momma knew I had a problem 

Wasn't thinking about no rapping, I was drinking for a dollar 

Putting quarter pieces in the black Caprice and make it holla 

No releasing me, I got the beast in me 

I gotta holla, keep the decency and make them TNT my product 

I'm a C-O-M-P-T-O-innovator, energizer 

Inner-city bullet fly 'til that bitch on auto pilot (Shit) 

I don't give a fuck about your whereabouts 

All I care about is wearing out your area 

And airing out your upper body 

When I catch ya, walking out your parentshouse 

(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 for everybody 

Switch it up before 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 better than 

A great white, nigga this is life in my aquarium 

(Don't get it fucked up) 

Been away from home 

Been away from home 

All night long 

(All they wanna know is 

Where you from? Where you from? 

Where you from nigga, huh? 

Compton) 

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 

*Gasps for air* help me 

Feels like you're drowning 

I'm drowning 

*Gasps for air* help me 

Help me, help me 

Somebody help me 

(Shoulda never jumped in 

If you, if you can't swim) 

Help me *gasps for air* 

Help me, help me, help me 

I can't, I can't breathe 

I can't wait, help 

(Where's a lifeguard when you need one?) 

God please, please help me, please 

Please help me, please help.
