No doubt, to live and die in L.A. California, what you say about Los Angeles Still the only place for me that never rains in the sun And everybody got love
To live and die in L.A., where everyday we try to fatten our pockets Us niggaz hustle for the cash so it's hard to knock it Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin' Worldwide through the hard times, warrior faces
Shed tears as we bury niggaz close to heart What was a friend now a ghost in the dark, cold hearted 'bout it Nigga got smoked by a fiend, tryin' to floss on him Blind to a broken man's dream, a hard lesson

'Cause would it be L.A. without Mexicans? Black love brown pride and the sets again Pete Wilson tryin' to see us all broke, I'm on some bullshit Out for everything they owe, remember K-DAY
Weekends, Crenshaw, MLK Automatics rang free, niggaz lost they way Gang signs being showed, nigga love your hood But reconize and it's all good, where the weed at?
Niggaz gettin' shermed out Snoop Dogg in this muhfucka perved out, M.O.B. Big Suge in the Low-Low, bounce and turn Dogg Pound in the Lex, wit a ounce to burn
Got them Watts niggaz with me, OFTB They got some hash took the stash left the rest for me Neck bone, Tre, Head Ron, Punchy too Big Rock got knocked but this one's for you
I hit the studio and drop a jewel, hopin' it pay Gettin' high watchin' time fly, to live and die in L.A. (Let my angel sing)
