[Kendrick Let me tell you when it all Game dropped Documentary and plenty enemies It was a album, but prior to that Black debuted and put the city on wax A lot of Biggie comparisons, we all was of them But that wasn't my M.O., I thought he was dope Can't understand why Game would say his name in manner Many went by, still no legitimate answer Anyway, I put out a mixtape in grade Hub City threat, minor of the year, DJ And his designed, put together the music Put it out to the people, the said I was stupid With the flow, went to the to show off my skills Mike and Himey and some other cat said I was Himey was barber, the other cat made a statement Saying that Game was his partner, so I him my tape Said he'd play it for him, that I'd get my big break But got a response.. anyway This named ?Pop Givs? came to my school with a camera I freestyled on his DVD for a minute then It hit the streets, I was known as K. Dot Compton Man Hootie probably was the out that was poppin' But I didn't have a yet, Hootie had ? in me Until I met Top Dawg, told Dave that he'd like to Me at the studio, made me for an hour Told me come back tomorrow, but I came in a hour Jay Rock was in the booth, recording his mixtape Was skeptical homie at first because he where I stayed But we got that, heard the beat, wrote a rap Did our first collaboration on the Nephew He got signed months later, Brothers We started on his album, he wrote his on paper Before Sidekicks a modern day phone Same time our was generated from G Malone He had a song called 200, Lightnin, the streets loved it Said that Sony had him an unbelievable budget Now that's a smart nigga, I'm make my raps bigger than life But not knowing how to it right Turned on the Only cat he knew from the West Coast was was Bishop And by then this nigga' buzz was In the lab, me and Rock tryna our craft What the fuck? Next thing you know, we came Lift Me Up It was a hit When I it But all we had was the instrumental and the But jump on it for certain, it was to smash Gave it to Julio, to get his opinion Next thing you know, the was That was a look, it set the coast on fire Niggas in Garden projects Watts Riot Then these start hating, callin' up to the station Ask why they record playin', what you niggas complaining, about? Shit was to us tho Niggas to see a nigga from the bottom come up, yo In the midst of the single poppin' and tryna seek and destroy I had a situation with Def Jam, Shit went sour Jay-Z left but they didn't care I was glad gave me respect See I was young, forward, hot dollah had the streets on lock Far as play, obvious, he got a lot Beefing' Daz Dilinger, Jay Rock spoke on it Which in my opinion, I didn't the shit was impo'tant But a whole 'nother story, we hit the lab with Game And a few other names like and Young, ya boy Did the cypher freestyle and like, "Wow" Top Dawg niggas 'bout to make noise" Surely after Game took us on tour, I love you for But after that, we didn't see him no more G Malone came with a smash hit with Mistah FAB battled Royce Nickel with Then everybody to scream out the new West And claim West Coast legends don't want to see him at best I think that's an excuse, because their music ain't tight Tell 'em that said it, they can quote him twice Then Crooked I came with Weekly, killin' the internet But he been a threat since Deathrow, Rocky came about And all I thought about was 2-11-2 It finally started to look the West was makin' moves Western Union had the whole block because of Snoop Matter fact, Bad Luck was my favorite the group Then ?Problem? off, another Compton native We both Compton niggas, but Compton still ain't it By this time, Jay and All My Life hit the airwaves We almost got into major beef over Lil' Wayne That part leave out Theres certain that the streets only should know about Shout out to Bishop win that game, had a fight with ? when I dropped C4 and had the critics mad at me Because they see my views, grab the hottest album out and re-do it That's a goddamn move stupid You foolish, know shit about this war shit Theres mo' shit to wanting to be the king of the shit
