LA (feat. Kendrick Lamar, Brandy & James Fauntleroy)

It's just me out here

At least, that's what it feels like

They said I wouldn't make it

That this was the city of broken dreams

But somehow, lost angels broke cages

They seen animals, we made stages

Became famous by freein' the world of their own danger

Prison mentalities, we're all hangin' from propaganda

Victim blamin', all divided with remainders of mics, straight rhymes, and Oscars

Givin' the common legends, no acting

The new Selma's happenin' right now

Mama, 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

L.A., can't believe I fell in love in the city of L.A.

L.A., it's the City of Angels, it can take you anywhere

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

In the city of the gang bang

Yeah, we still dyin' over red and blue stripes

Chuck my setup, and it feel good

'Cause don't nobody love you more than your neighborhood

We always had ****, 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 ****, Inglewood, twist them fingers up

Compton and Watts, the Eastside always turnin' up

Bad **** up at Greystone in Supperclub

Tell 'em where we're from like

L.A., can't believe I fell in love in the city of L.A.

L.A., it's the City of Angels, it can take you anywhere

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

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 percent that ain't never comin' home

God, let me know you exist in a city where a hundred hollow tips get thrown

I'm off that Centennial

**** an after-party, ****, at the party, we fade ten or more

My hood came thinkin' we yellin', "We in this ****," then we yellin', "We in your ****"

Who you tellin'? All of us are dwellin' inside of 2Pacalypse, thug life

And we off that whoopty-whoopty-whoop

And we in that hooptie with the two choppers

And we 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 **** 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 lives again

****, I'm in, ****, I'm in

L.A., can't believe I fell in love in the city of L.A.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mother****

L.A., it's the City of Angels, it can take you anywhere

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

****, so many fell down 'round here, and they won't tell

And I ain't talkin' love, girl, but I know how you feel

Yeah, you've been livin' in fear

Remember, I'm right here

They got your world on wheels

Girl, let's roll through them hills off the 10

Rollin', with ya cousin and them

Real ****, ain't nobody fake, they is and they ain't from, aye

City of L.A.

City of L.A.

City of L.A.

City of L.A., South Central, Inglewood

City of L.A., Compton

Long Beach, Watts City, L.A.

L.A., can't believe I fell in love in the city of L.A.

L.A., it's the City of Angels, it can take you anywhere

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

L.A., L.A., L.A., we fell in love

This is where we started off, ****, but now, look at where we're at now, like what the ****

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

So then, after that, I went from L.A. to all over the world
