Los Angeles Times

And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Marine drill sargeant, you nothin' but a target
Where you can see the whole city burning

'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
Take a trip to Washington then burn the Constitution
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Like the roots of a tree, watered three times a day
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
If hand determine dick size, I'm palmin' the earth
Love Allah not new car, faggot, superstar
Where you can find me and mines, Los Angeles Times
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Welcome to L.A.

Welcome to L.A.
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Don't start what you can't finish, serious bidness
Where you can see the whole city burning
Translate to left field, only real niggaz follow
Everyone's got to make a living
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
To sell they shit
Ride slow across the horizon a lone desperado
Recruitin' the hard rocks mean streets keep producin'
Break it down like Johnny Cochran then mix it with hash
Comin' from the guts like I slammed down twenty cups
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this

Welcome to L.A.
Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam leatherneck

Sometimes I feel like a matador, lookin' at this bullshit
Making it easier to see, the Mister X to the Z
Bitches suck and swallow, I'm livin' life behind the bottle

While other rappers use mass weapons of destruction
Still black so the one-time react as if under attack

Leavin' you and your best man, stiffer than mannequins
Welcome to L.A.
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
The world is a riot shit is mine for the lootin'
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
'Cause I got a kill switch with a itch for the action

'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Everyone's got to make a living
To their most upright and long position
Down La Seneca to bust a left on Venice

Welcome to L.A.

Enjoy your stay, welcome to L.A.
Hit the airwaves like pollution, hey, here's a solution
Select turf, then plant bad seed and give birth

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
Welcome to L.A.
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
Mr. Big Bad Insane Black John McClane

Of Hennesey straight, relate feel my hate
Welcome to L.A.
Givin' respect to the dead and avoid havin' the same thing

Your defense can't last against advanced prosecution
Where every other day I'm taking the hat off my head
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
Maintain do your thang this too shall pass
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
Don't peak, L.A., why test without vest-es
With liquor on the brain, down to earth like dirt
Charge it to the game, gotta look beyond the brand name
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And make the hard work look easy fuh sheezee
I'm from the school of hard knocks way ahead in the class
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Ain't nothin' changed but district range, feel no pain
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Welcome to L.A.

Where you can see the whole city burning
Welcome to L.A.
