L.A.

I'm from L.A., Californ-I-A hot

Days got shade, let me take you round the way

Lot of outta towners can't handle this city

Where you wear the wrong color and it can get tricky

But that was '86 and things done changed

We a lot more evolved with the way that we bang

Not the rips and the dogs, man the smog might kill ya

But you ain't gotta worry if you stayin' North of Wilshire

Don't be scared of Crenshaw, the Slauson super-mall

Or Earle's Hot Dogs, man, you gotta do it, y'all, come on

Come to the hood where we do the most good

Magic Johnson be ownin' everything like he should

Lynnwood, Long Beach, Hawthorne, Gardena

From the towers in Watts, to the hills of Altadena

The home of the traffic and that gangbang culture

And I hope the way we do the damn thang don't insult ya

I'm from L.A., Southern California

Fool, the West Coast where everybody is somebody

And the game is fame, do everything with a bang

And everybody wanna know what set you claim

I'm from L.A., Southern California

Fool, the West Coast where everybody is somebody

And the game is fame, do everything with a bang

And everybody wanna know what set you claim

The land where the 6-4's, hop up and get low

Your favorite rapper gettin' jacked for more than his sick flows

Home of the pornos, we mess up award shows

The weather's always warm, so the women wear short clothes

Our beaches ain't the cleanest, but our, ah, is the greenest

And we got the blonde bombshells and sick Latinas

Then mix in the dark-skinned, light-skinned sisters

Where you never have to wear your triple goose on Christmas

You can miss us with the blizzards and the winters

The hurricanes, unless it's in some glasses with some actresses

Perfect frame, silicone, or real, it don't matter if she paid for it

Every single trend, you can probably thank L.A. for it

Bandanas, facelifts, quick trips to Vegas

White T-shirt, Chuck Taylors, or them K-Swiss

Pop lockin', Crip-walkin', chronic blunts, G-Funk

A place that everybody hate, but you gotta see once

L.A., Southern California

Fool, the West Coast where everybody is somebody

And the game is fame, do everything with a bang

And everybody wanna know what set you claim

I'm from L.A., Southern California

Fool, the West Coast where everybody is somebody

And the game is fame, do everything with a bang

And everybody wanna know what set you claim
