[00:03.655] Uh, yeah
[00:11.657] I just told myself, uh
[00:22.592] Yeah, uh, yeah
[00:26.174]
[00:26.286] Welcome to LA
[00:27.860] The land of opportunity where everybody stay
[00:30.319] The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days
[00:33.400] But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray
[00:36.540] Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away
[00:40.786] The land of opportunity where everybody stay
[00:43.802]
[00:44.056] Yeah, and move out to this town where dreams, ambitions, and get lost in the party
[00:48.455] Takes a toll on you, man, this **** will charge a large fee
[00:51.801] Just don't forget who you are, G
[00:54.070] Staring at the man in the mirror, like I recognize him hardly
[00:57.669] Brought my sins away and twist some parsley
[00:59.942] Stop and chill, these days I do it sparsely
[01:02.109] In another universe I coulda' had a stroller and a car seat, but-
[01:06.376] And tell me things not happen how they supposed to
[01:09.630] But somehow it seems I hurt all the people I get close to
[01:12.512] Experience a breakdown some 27 goes through
[01:15.536] 'Cause you don't want to see heaven, yeah, where Janis Joplin knows you
[01:18.588] On phone calls with Mama like she tryin' to give me a earfull
[01:21.538] She said "This is the town that happens in so just be careful
[01:24.545] Been tryin' to keep your head straight
[01:26.044] And dead-off all that ********, that's just dead weight"
[01:28.491] Yeah
[01:29.107]
[01:29.276] Welcome to LA
[01:30.556] The land of opportunity where everybody stay
[01:33.402] The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days
[01:36.325] But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray
[01:39.433] Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away
[01:43.890] The land of opportunity where everybody stay
[01:46.707]
[01:47.701] The whole world's outside knocking at my door like "Gerald, where the **** that album at?"
[01:51.624] But I ain't home, I'm on the road, the stage is where they found me at
[01:54.640] So my personal interest, take a backseat to the business
[01:57.375] But I balance like a gymnast, like Simone in the Olympics
[02:00.378] So please pardon my tardiness, I'm tryin' to put my heart in this
[02:03.496] Give this **** my everything, every time when I start with this
[02:06.653] Hungry for the world, I swear I starve for this
[02:09.224] Yeah, artists come and go these days it's easy, they're not hard to miss
[02:12.775] Here today, gone tomorrow, they fade into a dark abyss
[02:15.621] Hollywood sunk to a dream, like how the **** you fall for this?
[02:18.458] Have to know yourself or you just really gon' get lost in this, sauce
[02:22.198] I really paid the cost to be a boss
[02:24.340] I paid in cash and skipped the tax, ain't asked for no receipt
[02:27.524] When I get stressed I play the beat and split a Swisher Sweet
[02:30.274] Damn
[02:30.934]
[02:31.785] Welcome to LA
[02:33.452] The land of opportunity where everybody stay
[02:36.233] The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days
[02:39.285] But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray
[02:42.622] Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away
[02:47.059] The land of opportunity, yeah, uh
[02:51.966]
