This is Los Angeles, gang capital of the nation 
Gang capital of the nation, this is Los Angeles 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga 
This is Los Angeles, this is Los Angeles 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga 
This is Los, this is Los Angeles 
This shit don't stop, I'm still stackin' my cash 
Out in the backyard with niggaz hidin' crack in they 
ass 
It's gettin' kinda hot but I ain't leavin' the spot 
‘Coz don't nobody give a fuck if I'm eatin' or not, 
nigga 
South Central, the gangbang capital 
Where gun fire's ramped, the one time be gafflin' 
Murder is a headline 
Half an ounce of chronic is a misdemeanor 
One gram of hard is fed' time 
The name of the game is survival 
Keep the thang on me like a preacher do a Bible 
Fuck unity, ain't no motherfuckin' one love 
Crips killin' Crips, nigga, Bloods killin' Bloods 
Niggaz tellin', gotta stay outta dodge 
On the stand y'all be singin' like Mary J. Blige 
But I'ma stay cockin' my pistol 
Goin' hard in the paint, niggaz can't stop my dribble 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga 
This is Los Angeles, this is Los Angeles 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga 
This is Los, this is Los Angeles 
Gang capital of the nation, gang capital of the nation 
This is Los Angeles, this is Los Angeles 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga 
This is Los Angeles, this is Los Angeles 
Out the belly of CA, hated by the D.A. 
Skatin' in a '6-trey drinkin' on E&J 
Everything will C okay 
As I turn this bottle for my niggaz the old way 
South Central L.A. where every day 
The LAPD ghetto bird be yellin' freeze on the PA 
You know they wanna lock us away, they laughin' away 
While we killin' each other, the blacks and the eses 
Fuck how much money you make, they gon' hate 
Ballin' ass nigga, they gon' still treat ya like O.J. 
The stereotypes don't go away 
Little nigga, nice car, where the kilos lay? 
The po-po wanna send us where the P.O.'s play 
Thinkin' we all get our money the ‘Carlito's Way’ 
Charles Manson can kill and live to see another day 
But if you're black like Tookie they gon' steal you 
away 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga 
This is Los Angeles, this is Los Angeles 
I was raised in the hood called what the fuck, nigga 
W.C, ya better duck, nigga, fuck me, you're out of 
luck, nigga
