[ 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
