Leave the angels in the city
Leave the angels in the city

Tell them mother***kers I'm forever paid
California king, wrestle gators in the Everglade
Drive up out that mother***kin' swamp in a Escalade
So before you put that red rag in your pocket
I wanna see your ***kin résumé

Started off on ground zero then I start to levitate
Rip rappers a new ***hole, I never hesitate
Dre beats on smokin' that 'Chronic' just to meditate
I'ma give 'em hurricanes until another levee break

You *****z is featherweight, I'm Aftermath's heavyweight
Now Dre's weapon of m*** destruction is 'bout to detonate
When the ***** Wack found me, ****, I was sellin' weight
Now a *****'s sellin' millions, now it's time to celebrate

Performin' in front of millions, ***** every race
6'4 into 6'4, now watch the Chevy sc****
Fourth album, no 5 mics Then let 'em hate
But I'm not stoppin' 'til I'm the ***kin king in every state

(Leave the angels in the city)
Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
Give me fuel for the fire burnin' when I yearn these lights
In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
Get familiar with Cartwright

(Leave the angels in the city)
'Cause I want that shot, I'm a ragin' bull when the needle drops
For the record, I'ma wreck it even if my record don't pop
I'ma tie a knot on a downtown buildin', let it tow behind me
Tell 'em they can find me in the dark with the ghetto children
Look in my heart, ***** ***k your feelings, this is me

(Leave the angels in the city)
I'm sick of mother***kers talkin 'bout the West die
Can't you hear my heart beatin'? That's the mother***kin' Westside
You test me you test God, I'm his son and sayin' Psalms you come at me
Then I can split you with this Tommy gun, you won't have no time to run

I'm from the Compton slums and that's how the West ride
I'm from the city where two of the best died
Rest in peace to both of 'em, spit like I'm the ghost of 'em
Damn, I said I'll spit like I'm the ghost of 'em
Name your top 10, I'm harder than the most of 'em

Matter fact shorten your list, ***** top 5
Game, Biggie, Hov prolly 'Pac, Nas, no particular order
Bet a mil' that I slaughter and serve *****z, give a ***k what you ordered
How dare you *****z pop fly?
When I'm the ***** sold five mil' out the gate and numbers do not lie

(Leave the angels in the city)
Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
Give me fuel for the fire burnin' when I yearn these lights
In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
Get familiar with Cartwright

(Leave the angels in the city)
'Cause I want that shot, I'm a ragin' bull when the needle drops
For the record, I'ma wreck it even if my record don't pop
I'ma tie a knot on a downtown buildin', let it tow behind me
Tell 'em they can find me in the dark with the ghetto children
Look in my heart, ***** ***k your feelings, this is me

(Leave the angels in the city)
I gave you the 'Do***entary', **** was a cl***ic
Gave you 'Doctor's Advocate', you ripped it out the package
Came with 'LAX', since critics said it was average
I was stressed the ***k out, torn between Aftermath and

Geffen, Interscope, now I got you in a scope
Spillin' red ink on the paper, it's like my pen is broke
And this is what you all been waitin' for
I'm the lost angel knockin' on Satan's door

What the ***k y'all take me for? I love you 'cause you hate me more
I'm Kobe on the Lakers floor except I give you 84
Shake you like Haiti's floor
Walk up on you like, 'What's goin' on, baby boy?'
Shots in that Mercedes door

Either I'm crazy or the black Slim Shady or
Could that be the reason that Baby said he would pay me more?
But I still owe Jimmy one more album
The best the West ever seen, no disrespect to Calvin

(Leave the angels in the city)
Recognize my life, ridicule my fight
Give me fuel for the fire burnin' when I yearn these lights
In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write
Get familiar with Cartwright

(Leave the angels in the city)
'Cause I want that shot, I'm a ragin' bull when the needle drops
For the record, I'ma wreck it even if my record don't pop
I'ma tie a knot on a downtown buildin', let it tow behind me
Tell 'em they can find me in the dark with the ghetto children
Look in my heart, ***** ***k your feelings, this is me

(Leave the angels in the city)
Kendrick and I wear a pendant on my shoulder, soldier
Like a lieutenant and the coupe tenant, got pulled over
Johnny always lock a ***** down
Knowin' damn well we don't wanna see the box like Manny Pacquiao

Lil' ***** Mayweather size
Ride like 'Pac in his prime, 'Thug Life' is now on radar
'Til a federal come through and raid ours
Reminiscin' when the L.A. raiders was in my home

Snapback fitted on my uncle's dome
And I don't condone, ****-ridin', I'm addicted to West-sidin'
Livin' in a city where the skinny *****z die
And the semi bullet fly but it turn me to a lion tryin'

And I mean that ****, Game came through, put the city on his back
I was in the city where the ***** had seen that ****
Compton, a ***** gotta scream that ****
Never went commercial, never TV screened that ****
Can't block or screen that ****, now everybody sing that ****

Red is a very emotionally intense color
It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate
And raises blood pressure, it has very high visibility
Which is why stop signs, stoplights and fire equipment
Are usually painted red

It also represents one-third of California's gang population
Needless to say, please dress accordingly
While visiting the Los Angeles area
Also, tuck your jewelry and keep your hands inside your vehicle
Thank you, enjoy
