Tupac - To Live And Die In L.A.
Tupac - To Live And Die In L.A.
[Verse 1]
To live and die in LA
Where everyday we try a fatten' our pockets
Us niggas' hustle for the cash so it's hard to knock it
Everybody got their own thang currency chasin'
World-wide through the hard times, worrying faces
Shed tears as we bury niggas' close to heart
What was a friend now a ghost in the dark
Cold hearted bout it my nigga got smoked by a fiend
Trying to floss on em'
Blind to a broken man's dream
A hard lesson
Court cases keep me guessin'
Plea bargain ain't an option now so I'm stessin'
Cost me more to be free than a life in the penn
Making money off a cuss words, writing again
Learn how to think ahead so I fight with my pen
Late night down Sunset like in a scene
What's the worst they could do to a nigga?
Got me lost in hell
To live and die in LA
On bail
My angels sing ...
Chorus 2x
To live and die in LA, it's the place to be
You've got to be there to know it
Where everybody wanna see
[Verse 2]
It's the city of angels and constant danger
South Central LA
Can't get no stranger
Full of drama like a soap opera, on the curb
Watching the ghetto bird helicopters I observe
So many niggas' getting 3 strikes tossed in jail
So where's the Penn?
Right across from hell
I can't cry cause it's on now
I'm just a nigga on his own now
Living life thug style
So I can't smile
Writing to my peoples when they ask for pictures
Thinking Cali just mine and bitches
Hahaha
Better learn about the dress code
B's and C's
All them other niggas copycats
These is G's
I love Cali like I love woman
Cause every nigga in LA
Gotta little bit of thug in em'
We might fight with each other
But I promise you this
We'll burn this bitch down get us pissed
To live and die in LA
Chorus 2x
To live and die in LA, it's the place to be
You've got to be there to know it
Where everybody wanna see
[Verse 3]
What would be LA with out Mexicans
Black love brown pride in the sets again
Pete Wilson trying to see us all broke among some old shit
Out for everything they owe
Remember K day
Weekends
Crenshaw
MLK
Automatics rang free, niggas' lost their way
Gang signs being shown, nigga love your hood
But recognize when it's all good
Where the weed at?
Niggas getting shermed out
Snoop Dogg in this motherfucker burned out
M-O-B
Big Suge in the lo-lo bounce and turn
Dogg Pound in the Lex
With an ounce to burn
Got them watts niggas with me, O-F-T-B
They got some hash took a stash left the rest for me
Neckbone, Dreray, Ron too
Big Rock got knocked but this one's for you
I hit the studio and drop a jewel hoping it pay
Getting high watching time fly
To live and die in LA
Chorus 2x
To live and die in LA, it's the place to be
You've got to be there to know it
Where everybody wanna see
