Los Angeles Times

(Welcome to L.A.) Where you can see the whole city burnin'

'Cause the cops got Uzis and the dealers keep servin'

And your kids ain't learnin' shit, except this

Sex, power and wealth, fuck everythin' else

(Welcome to L.A.) Where you can see the whole city burnin'

'Cause the cops got Uzis and the dealers keep servin'

And your kids ain't learnin' shit, except this

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times

(Welcome to L.A.)

MCs get fucked up, chopped like Braveheart

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

Down La Cienega to bust a left on Venice

Where you can find me and mines (Los Angeles Times)

(Welcome to L.A.)

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

Givin' respect to the dead and 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, the Mister X to the Z

Don't P, L.A., why test without vestes?

Stop lead projectile, Apocalypse Now

Love Allah not new car, faggot, superstar

Type of cat, fuck that, mash away in a

Diamond-white Concours '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 **** known for puttin' in work

(Welcome to L.A.) Where you can see the whole city burnin'

'Cause the cops got Uzis and the dealers keep servin'

And your kids ain't learnin' shit, except this

Sex, power and wealth, fuck everythin' else

Tryin' to survive, Los Angeles Times

(Welcome to L.A.)

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

Select turf, then plant bad seed and give birth

And make the hard work look easy fo' sheezy

Leavin' you and your best man stiffer than mannequins

Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam leatherneck

Marine drill sergeant, you nothin' but a target

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

Comin' from the guts like I slammed down twenty cups

Of Hennessy straight, relate, feel my hate

Xzibit flippin' through these bitches like DJ trait

Translate to left field, only real **** follow

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

Never the role model, still shinin' like a new automobile

Flow six-four, you can't steal

'Cause I got a kill switch with an itch for the action

While other rappers use mass weapons of destruction

To sell their shit

(Welcome to L.A.) Where you can see the whole city burnin'

'Cause the cops got Uzis and the dealers keep servin'

And your kids ain't learnin' shit, except this

Sex, power and wealth, fuck everythin' else

El veterano, you can only pray to learn what I know

Ride slow across the horizon, a lone desperado

Comin' through the door bringin' nothin' but hits

Sometimes I feel like a matador lookin' at this bullshit

**** pull rent from the crack of they ass

Maintain, do your thing, this too shall pass

I season beef with lead pieces then cook it with gas

I'm from the school of hard knocks, way ahead in the class

Xzibit hard to get through, like bulletproof glass

Break it down like Johnny Cochran then mix it with hash

Your defense can't last against advanced prosecution

Hit the airwaves like pollution

Hey, here's the solution

Take a trip to Washington then burn the Constitution

Top government officials locked down for prostitution

Recruitin' the hard rocks mean streets keep producin'

The world is a riot, shit is mine for the lootin'

(Welcome to L.A.) Where you can see the whole city burnin'

'Cause the cops got Uzis and the dealers keep servin'
