[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
