Lyrics

(Raised In L.A.)
L.A
Big city of dreams, right?
But everything isn't what it looks like from afar
You feel me?
(It's L.A.)
I'm looking for a place where I can smoke my weed
I'm chilling and I'm sitting waitin' patiently
I don't know why these people wanna hate on me
They really wanna make me go and catch a First Degree
I'm just a kid tryna make history
I ain't lying when I say I'll murder any beat
Put any other rapper right in front of me
And I'ma show 'em how we really living in these streets
Everywhere I go, people stop and stare
'Cause I'm high and 'cause I'm tatted everywhere
A year ago, the same people didn't care
They never had to see my face posted everywhere
They say I'm young and that I live without a care
You wanna live my life, that's a fucking dare
I had to work for every little thing I got
You think it's cool but, man, I say it's not a lot
See, I'm tryna make my fuckin' guap
So I can put my family members way on top
You say that's how it is, and yes, I would agree
But poverty is really starting to get to me
(DJ Scratchs) L.A
LA
LA
LA
I'm studying the game every fuckin' day
I wonder why so many people have to wait
Too many damn gold diggers in L.A
They jump at any chance just to get they fame
It seems like real talent always comes in last
I swear the game is nothing like the fuckin' past
Do I really have to go and fuckin' blast?
Just to get a Mexican a fuckin' chance? (A fuckin' chance)
My passion turning into hate (Turning into hate)
I struggle with my own feelings every day (Every day)
I feel at times I have to go and get away
'Cause if the pressure keeps building it won't be okay
My city's feeling like a dream
I'm tryna turn my dream into reality
I'm tryna live my life so let me fucking be
Or you could be another victim to a casualty
(DJ Scratchs) Raised In L.A., yeah
