LA lyrics

[Intro: Nate Howard]

It's just me out here

At least that's what it feels like

They said I wouldn't make it

That this was a City of Broken Dreams

But somehow lost angels broke cages

They seen animals, we made stages

Became famous by freeing the world of their own danger

Prison mentalities, we're all hanging from propaganda

Victim blaming, all divided with remainders of Mike's, Trayvon's and Oscar's

Given to common legends, no acting

The new Selma is happening right now

Momma I made it

I killed this freestyle before they killed me

They saw Rodney, you saw a king

Realize how powerful you are and break free

[Hook: Brandy & James Fauntleroy]

LA, can't believe I fell in love in the city of LA

LA, it's the city of angels, it can take you anywhere

LA, LA, LA, we fell in love in LA, LA, LA

We fell in love

[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign]

In the city of the gangbang

Yeah, we still dying over red and blue stripes

Chuck my set up and it feel good

Cause don't nobody love you more than your neighborhood

We always had bitches, we don't love those

Grew up around the gangsters and the cutthroats

Be careful where you at, you might get bust on

Yeah, all my South Central niggas, Inglewood, twist your fingers up

Compton and Watts, Eastside, always turning up

Bad bitches up at Greystone and Supperclub

Tell 'em where we're from like

[Hook: Brandy & James Fauntleroy]

LA, can't believe I fell in love in the city of LA

LA, it's the city of angels, it can take you anywhere

LA, LA, LA, we fell in love in LA, LA, LA

We fell in love

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]

God, let me right my wrongs, God, let me write this song

God in the middle with a month

Let me hit the pawn shop, momma said we need a loan

God, let me dedicate this to the 80% that ain't never coming home

God, let me know you exist

In a city where a hundred hollow-tips get thrown

I'm off that Centennial

Fuckin' at the party, nigga, at the party, we fade ten or more

My hood came thinkin' we yellin', "We in this bitch"

Then we yellin', "We in your bitch"

Or you tellin' all of us our dwellin' inside of 2Pacalypse, thug life

And we off that whoopty-whoopty-whoop

And we in that hoopty with the two choppers

So we're guaranteed to shoot

Lock us in the L.A. County zoo

Watch us eat a bear alive and ooh

This feels so good to keep it true

This feels so good, I'm keepin' you

Hope I'm teachin' you all the lessons I learned

When I made that turn off the 110

Watch that marijuana just burn

This shit just make you wanna just sin

See that Staples Center high earnin' if the Lakers get me a win

I'm gon' liquor shot in memory of Pac, Makaveli live again

Bitch, I'm in L.A. yeah, yeah, motherfucker

[Hook: Brandy & James Fauntleroy]

LA, can't believe I fell in love in the city of LA

LA, it's the city of angels, it can take you anywhere

LA, LA, LA, we fell in love in LA, LA, LA

We fell in love

[Verse 3: James Fauntleroy]

My nigga so many fell down 'round here and they won't tell

And I ain’t talking love girl but I know how you feel

And you've been living in fear

Remember I'm right here

They got your world on wheels

Girl let’s roll through them hills off the ten

Rolling, with ya cousin & em

Real shit ain't nobody fake, they is and they ain’t from here

[Bridge : Ty Dolla $ign, Brandy]

City of LA, city of LA (City of LA)

City of LA, South Central, Inglewood

City of LA, Compton, Long Beach, Watts City, LA

[Hook: Brandy & James Fauntleroy]

LA, can't believe I fell in love in the city of LA

LA, it's the city of angels, it can take you anywhere

LA, LA, LA, we fell in love in LA, LA, LA

We fell in love

[Outro:]

This is where it started all off nigga

But now, look at where we at now, like what the fuck

I mean you... the first song is "L.A."

So then after that, it goes from LA to all over the world
