Man, I was just walking out the grocery store the other day and some guy asked me where I'm from out the blue

I told him Arkansas and then he proceeded to get aggressive

LA got its own language, buddy, let me break down the slang

When they ask you where you from, they wanna know if you bang

They probably asked you 'cause you looked just like the opposite gang (Ayy)

So be careful what you wear depending on where you hang

"On the dead homies" mean somebody tellin' the truth (Ayy)

"Run that fade, bitch" mean somebody tryna fight you (Pew-pew-pew)

If somebody says, "Palabra," that means one of two

They either askin' you a question or confirmin' the truth (¿Palabra?)

See the pad is where you live, a key of coke is just a brick

If they callin' you a leva, then they callin' you a bitch (Bitch)

Instead of sayin', "I don't think so," they say, "Nah, dick"

If you came up on some money, you say, "I hit a lick" (Rrah)

If you call a girl your jaina, that means she's your lady

If she says, "Shoot the club up," she's ready for your baby (Mwah)

The Bloods replace the C's with B's, that shit is brazy

The Crips call you a custer, not a buster, it's amazing (Interesting)

It's confusing, if she like you, then she choosin' up

If she for the streets, she ain't yours, buddy, give it up

Oh, you like to party? That means you do cocaine

White girl, Kelly, blow, it's all the same (Hell yeah)

If you sick-ass fool, then you're a cool guy

If you're on a sick one, you're probably high (Hell no)

If I text you, "Aight, bet," then I'm tellin' you bye

If they put it on the set, then they're not tellin' a lie, that's facts

LA, we keep it dangerous, I rep that with my fingers

Puro West Coast, where I'm from, we speak in Spanglish

They say when I talk, it's like a total different language

Hablo bien quebrado so they don't understand us

Califas hella dangerous, rep that with my fingers

Puro West Coast, where I'm from, we speak in Spanglish

They say when I talk, it's like a total different language

LA slang

Okay, let me see, where do I start? (Hmm)

If you a punk and you scared, then we'll call you a mark (Mark)

Marked out, you been exposed for not havin' a heart

If you agree with someone's statement, then you'll tell 'em, "That part"

If I tell you stay dangerous, I'm tellin' you to stay safe

That's ironic 'cause LA is not a safe place

A squabble is a fight, you got knocked out, you got packed out (Pew-pew-pew)

I'm 'bout to trip, that means I'm 'bout to act out (Ah)

If you down to risk it all, then you a crashout

A 304 was sellin' coochie with her ass out

If you don't bang, you're considered a civilian (Yeah)

If you're a TUNA, you're a turnt-up non-affiliate (Go)

I'm a joint, that's me sayin' I'm a catch

If I want some good head, say I want my soul snatched

If you ain't gettin' no chilli, then you a brokie

If you got status in your barrio, you a trophy

If we spillin' game, here's some information (What?)

To catch a beatdown, that's a transformation (Damn)

We'll serve for the rivals when you're set trippin' (Rrah)

If they catch you out of bounds, that's caught slippin'

(Ayy, where you from, foo?), better know the fuckin' area

You might be on the corner fuckin' up another histeria (Bitch)

That's the paper if you wanna be a baller

If you're lookin' for permission, better see the shot-caller (Shh)

'Cause nothin' goes down without a right approval

And if you catch a green light, time for removal (Fuck outta here)

Rubbernecking 'cause you're paranoid, plain and simple

What it means? You got to keep your head on a swivel

When it's jumpin' off, you need hang-time

When they're throwin' up a set, that's a gang sign (Bang mine)

Con eso no te metas, and everything I said es la neta (Real talk)
