Dominique: He's talking about killing people I had sex with your wife. and not in those words but he's talking about I wanna see you deceased.. . Makaveli:. . No doubt. To live and die in LA. California - Don't care what you say about Los Angeles. Still the only place for me it never rains. . To Live and Die in LA. Where everyday we try a fatten' our pockets. Us niggaz 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 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 em'. Blind to a broken man's dream. . A hard lesson--court cases--keep em guessin'. Plea bargain ain't an option now--so I'm stressin'. . Cost me more to be free than a life in the Penn. Making money off of cuss words--writin' again. Learn how to think ahead--so I fight with my pen. Late night down sunset like in a sin. What's the worst they could do to a nigga. Get me lost in hell--To Live and Die in LA. On bail--my angels sing.... . Chorus:. . 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. To Live and Die in LA it's the place to be. You've got to be there to know it. Everybody wanna see. . It's the cities 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 niggaz. Gettin 3 strikes--tossed in jail. Swear the Penn's right across from hell. I can't cry--cause it's home now. I'm just a nigga on his own now. Livin life thug style--so I can't smile. Writin to my peoples. When they ask for pictures. Thinkin Cali just fun and bitches. (hahaha). Better learn about the dress code. B's and C's--all them other niggaz copycats. These is G's. I love Cali like I love woman. Cause every nigga in LA. Got a little bit of thug in em'. . We might fight amongst each other. But I promise you this. We'll burn this bitch down--get us pissed. To Live and Die in LA. . ~Chorus~. . It wouldn't be LA with out 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 bein shown. Nigga love your hood. But recognize and it's all good. Where the weed at--niggaz gettin shermed out. Snoop Dogg in this muthafucka 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 niggaz with me OFCP. They got some hash. Took a stash. Left the rest for me. Neckbone--Dre Heron Bungy too. Big Rock got knocked. But this one's for you. I hit the studio and drop a jewel. Hoping it pay. Gettin high--watchin time fly. To Live and Die in LA. . ~Chorus~. . Makaveli:. . This goes out for 92.3 106--all the radio stations. That be bumping my shit. Makin my shit sales Quadruple Quadrople platinum. This goes out to all the magazines. That support a nigga. All the real mufuckas. All the stores the mom & pop spots. A&R people all yawl mufuckas. LA--California love. Part mufuckin 2 without gay ass Dre.
