17
To live and die in LA, where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
18
Us niggaz hustle for the cash so it's hard to knok it
19
Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin
20
Worldwide through the hard times, warrior faces
21
Shed tears as we bury niggaz close to heart
22
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
24
Blind to a broken man's dream, a hard lesson
25
Court cases keep me guessin, plea bargain
26
ain't an option now, so I'm stressin, cost me more
27
to be free than a life in the pen
28
Makin money off of cuss words, writin again
29
Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen

Late night down Sunset likin the scene

To live and die in LA on bail, my angel sing

You've got to be there to know it, what everybody wanna see
36
[repeat 2X]

It's the, City of Angels and constant danger

South Central LA, can't get no stranger
40
Full of drama like a soap opera, on the curb
41
Watchin the ghetto bird helicopters, I observe
42
So many niggaz gettin three strikes, tossed in jail
43
I swear the pen the right across from hell, I can't cry
44
Cause it's on now, I'm just a nigga on his own now
45
Livin life Thug style, so I can't smile
46
Writin to my peoples when they ask for pictures
47
Thinkin Cali just fun and bitches, hahaha
48
Better learn about the dress code, B's and C's
49
All them other niggaz copycats, these is G's
50
I love Cali like I love woman
51
Cause every nigga in LA got a little bit of Thug in him
52
We might fight with each other, but I promise you this
53
We'll burn this bitch down, get us pissed

To live and die in LA

(Let my angel sing)
56
[Chorus]
