[VERSE 1] Fuck, duck down, niggas is shootin And I can't go out like Sir Isaac Newton Catch a stray one, cause from day one I been escapin So I figure I'm due for a yellow tapin But it ain't today, thank God So I kiss my mother and count my bank rod And then it's back to the warzone In Southern California you gots to get yours on A real East Side Story I'm talkin Compton and Watts, for thyne is the glory A tale of two cities where it's non-stop drama Not the Apollo joint But from the hollow-point -blank, I sleep to the sound of a siren The shit is so tirin And other nights I can't even crash Without the same fuckin mutts turnin over my trash It's just drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just too much drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) [VERSE 2] One-time got my street blocked off And I wonder what's poppin But I ain't stoppin From what it look like a officer got smoked And most likely it's from some shit he provoked But regardless the police is kickin up dust So now it's like 'in glock we trust' And everybody in my hood is suspects But ain't nobody snitchin, so what's next? They try to break the unity Make an example of a nigga to frighten the whole community So put out an all-points bulletin and on Kam And Watts-Up - goddamn! Ain't nobody said a word But now somehow I'm under the ghetto bird On a high-speed chase The right time in the wrong place I caught drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just too much drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) [VERSE 3] Damn, I just heard about the homie That's fucked up, give my condolences to the family for me Cause I know they took it hard The shit caught us all off guard That was my dog, he ain't never meant no harm I went and got his name tatooed on my forearm Right after the funeral Goddamn, that's two in a row Homeboys I done lost to gang violence And I ain't been able to smile since I know everything happen for a reason But now the blood in my veins is freezin Ain't no more feelings left, I'm cold-hearted I wasn't dearly, but nearly departed So I know I got a purpose But L.A. is like a circus It's too much drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just too much drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) [VERSE 4] So another day, another dirty dollar Like Marvin Gaye sometimes it make me wanna holler While I try to make a livin, I'm givin You pee o-n t-h-e U.S.A. - hey So how much for the ski-mask? Ain't none of your business what it's for, so don't even ask Cause America is on the fall It's every man for himself and God for us all And action speaks louder than words From what I hear the Mexicans got the birds I seem em puttin up stores I say it's time I kick in some casa doors And play Robin Hood, I been good too long Takin this shit, you can't expect me not to do wrong So the stage is set for an Academy Award And oh my Lord (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just too much drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just too much drama (More drama, more drama, more drama) It's just drama
