(We're too late)

Welcome to L.A.



MC's get fucked up, chopped like Braveheart

Don't start what you can't finish, serious bidness

Down La Seneca to bust a left on Venice

where you can find me & mine, Los Angeles Times

Where every other day I'm taking the hat off my head (yeah)

Givin respect to the dead, & avoid havin the same thing

said about me, Xzibit stand underground

like the roots of a tree, watered three times a day

Forty ounce Olde E, like a magnifying glass

making it easier to see, (yeah) the Mister X to the Z

Don't peak, L.A., why test without vest-es

stop lead projectile, Apocalypse Now

Love Allah not new car, faggot, superstar

type of cat, fuck that, mash away in a

diamond-white Concourse 'Llac

Still black so the one-time react as if under attack

Ain't nothin changed but district range, feel no pain

Mr. Big Bad Insane Black John McClane with

liquor on the brain, down to earth like dirt

From the city where niggaz known for puttin in work



Welcome to L.A.

Where you can see the whole city burning

'cause the cops got uzis & the dealers keep serving

& your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Sex power & wealth, so fuck everything else

Welcome to L.A.

Where you can see the whole city burning

'cause the cops got uzis & the dealers keep serving

& your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times



Welcome to L.A.

If hand determine dick size, I'm palmin the Earth

Select turf, then plant bad seed & give birth

& make the hard work look easy fuh sheezee

Leavin you & your best man, stiffer than mannequins

Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam leatherneck

Marine drill sargeant, you nothin but a target (pow!)

Charge it to the game, gotta look beyond the brand name

Comin from the guts like I slammed down twenty cups

of Hennesey straight, relate feel my hate

Xzibit flippin through these bitches like DJ trait

Translate to left field, only real niggaz follow

Bitches suck & swallow, I'm livin life behind the bottle

Never the role model, still shinin like a new automobile

Flow six-fo', you can't steal

cause I got a kill switch with a itch for the action

While other rappers use mass weapons of distraction

to sell they shit



You can see the whole city burning

the cops got uzis & the dealers keep serving

& your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Sex power & wealth, fuck everything else

You can see the whole city burning

the cops got uzis & the dealers keep serving

& your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times



Everyone's got to make a living

Everyone's got to make a living 



You can see the whole city burning

'cause the cops got uzis & the dealers keep serving

& your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Sex power & wealth, fuck everything else (hell yeah)

You can see the whole city burning

the cops got uzis & the dealers keep serving

& your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times



Los Angeles Times!
