City of angels

Land of God

A city of demons

Land for us

In the city of angels

In the land of God

In the city of demons

That's the land for us?

LA, LA, the place of all places

Drug use and doll faces can make or break ya

I stood off by the wall and watched them skip the line

One night, it's gon' be me inside

God damn, it ain't easy, let me tell ya

Account is overdrawn doin' sessions in the valley every other night

Connections only get you so far, so far

But oh, what a feeling, oh, what a thrill (How it feels, you would kill)

To look down from these hills, put the life I knew behind, but still

This don't feel for real 'cause I still ain't ate a meal

My stomach growlin' but I'm fuckin' stylin'

Spent my last twenty drunk and Uber ridin'

And ain't nobody cuttin' checks if you ain't happy smilin'

That's shit takes all the talent, yeah

And it ain't easy, let me tell ya, account is overdrawn

Doin' sessions in the valley every other night, and it goes on and on

Yet, I'm proud that I'm chasin' something

It's all in all better than bein' broke, bored, and back at home

Oh, yes, it's all about makin' somethin'

That's all in all bigger than anything I'd ever known

LA, LA, the sun can shine vicious

Poor folks and tall riches, and plus the bitches

I stood off by the wall and watched 'em pick a side

One day from now, we all could die

God damn, it ain't easy, let me tell ya

Account is overdrawn doin' sessions in the valley every other night

Connections only get you so far, so far

But oh, what a feeling, oh, what a thrill (How it feels, you would kill)

To look down from these hills, put the life I knew behind, but still

This don't feel for real 'cause I still can't cut a deal

I want a Rollie, but it's movin' slowly

Spent my last twenty buyin' drinks for homies

And everybody want to know me, just to say, "You owe me"

This shit been gettin' phony, damn

And it ain't easy, let me tell ya, account is overdrawn

Doing sessions in the valley every other night, that shit goes on and on

Yet, I'm proud that I'm chasin' something (Oh)

It's all in all better than bein' broke, bored, and back at home

Oh, yes, it's all about makin' somethin'

That's all in all bigger than anything I'd ever known
