[Murs]
I'm from L dot A dot Californ-I-A hot
Days got shade let me take you 'round the way
Lot of out-of-towners can't handle this city
Where you wear the wrong color and it can get tricky
But that was eighty-six and, things done changed
We a lot mo' evolved with the way that we bang
Not the rips and the dawgs, man the smog might kill ya
But you ain't gotta worry if you stayin North of Wilshire
Don't be scared of Crenshaw, the Slausson super-mall
Or Earl's Hot Dogs man you gotta do it y'all, c'mon
Come to the hood where we do the most good
Magic Johnson be ownin everything like he should
Lynnwood, Long Beach, Hawthorne, Gazine
From the towers in Watts, to the hills of Pasadena
The home of the traffic and that gangbang culture
And I hope the way we do the damn thang don't insult ya
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
I'm from L.A. (ahh) Southern California
Fool the West coast, where everybody is somebody
And the game is fame, do everythang with a bang
And everybody wanna know, what set you claim
[Murs]
The land where the six-fo's, hop up and get low
Your favorite rapper gettin jacked for more than his sick flows
Home of the pornos, we mess up award shows
The weather's always warm so the women wear short clothes
Our beaches ain't the cleanest but the {ahh} is the greenest
And we got the blonde bombshells and sick latinas
Then mix in the dark-skinned light-skinned sisters
Where you never have to wear your triple goose on Christmas
You can miss us with the blizzards and the winters
The hurricanes unless it's in some glasses with some actresses
Perfect frame, silicone or real it don't matter if she paid for it
Every single trend you can probably thank L.A. for it
Bandanas, facelifts, quick trips to Vegas
White t-shirt, Chuck Taylors or them K-Swiss
Poplockin, Crip walkin, chronic blunts, G-Funk
A place that everybody hate, but you gotta see once
[Chorus]

Odeon
Sky
Uncanny
Bushes are in disagreement with the heat
L.A.
Uncanny
Person
They have filled boulevards with white snow, scum-ball
L.A.
This is my happening and it freaks me out

In a matter of time,
There'll be a friend of mine
Gonna come to the coast,
You're gonna see him
Up close for a minute or two
While the ground cracks under you.
By the look in your eyes
You'd think that it was a surprise
But you seem to forget
Something somebody said
About the bubbles in the sea
And an ocean full of trees.
And you now, L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Well, it's hard to believe
So you get up to leave
And you laugh at the door
That you heard it all before
Oh it's so good to know
That it's all just a show for you.
But when the suppers are planned
And the freeways are crammed
And the mountains erupt
And the valley is sucked
Into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you.
L.A.
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog.
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?
Don't you wish that you could be here too?

All the hunnies in the bathroom stalls
Drawing their lips and making business calls
All the apathetic trust fund boys
Making the rounds in their expensive toys
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
I don't wanna lose you tonight
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
And all of the bright lights Oh, all of the bight lights
You can hang under the
Prada sign
While you're walking your dog on Rodeo Drive
You can surgically remove your soul
While you dream of your leading role
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
I don't wanna lose you in the sun
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
And all of the big fun
Oh, all of the big fun
Oh, how it starts irritate
Yeah Oh, that's ok 'cause the weather is great
Oh, everday, yeah
You might need a lawyer for your friends
Hit all the spots 'cause he can get you in
Introduce yourself to glam rock stars
Give 'em a ride in your electric car
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
I don't wanna lose you in the sun
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
And all of the big fun I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
I don't wanna lose you tonight
I don't wanna lose you to L.A.
To L.A. And all of the bright lights
Oh, all of the bight lights
All the hunnies in the bathroom stalls
And all the apathetic trust fund boys
In L.A., L.A. La la la laa

All the roads lead to L.A.
The place to meet Jesus
And make friends with Mary-Jane
If you`ve got music on your brain
Well here`s the right place
To get into the game
Cause we all want the same
Yeah we all want the star with our name
All the roads lead to L.A.
You worshippers of sunshine
You Ceasers of the day
If you`ve got something to say
Here`s room for everyone
Black, white, straight or gay
Cause we all want he same
Yeah we all want a star with our name
Yeah all the roads lead to L.A.
Let`s drive into the desert
And dance the night away
Do you remember how to play?
Wake up kid inside you
And catch the next wave
Cause we all want the sam
Yeah we all want a star with our name
Welcome to L.A.
La-la-la...

Oh here's a story bout a boy named J.
Nothing he did would ever get in my way
but there's still a long, long way to go.
I've only ever seen his face on film,
I've only ever heard the lines he'd say
But still they won't, get in my way.
I'm always told to be the dreamer kind
wake up one morning and your dreams are life
never let them, bring me down
never let them, tear me down.
I always thought that I would follow you.
Every place and everything you do
but I'm happy to be by myself,
I don't need no-one else
He's never ever seen my face before
I'm trying hard cos this I can't ignore
but there's still a long, long way to go.
[Chorus]
All my dreams are built around your face, and this place
All the times I'm starring at the sun, you're the one.
All my dreams are built around your face, and this place
All the times I'm starring at the sun, you're the one.
[Chorus]

the gentle little elaine,
spinning his hat on a cane
stepping out, out for change
";good morning all, it's a beautiful day";
the generals are winning a war
seemed suicidal before
you came alone, now
i'll protect you, long as you stay
lllllaaaaa
one of a kind
you'll be walking in the sun
living in the day
last night i was about to throw it all away
if patience started a band,
i'd be her biggest fan
look at me, i'm talking to you
i don't want the lead in your play
the star's just a part of the scene
the gentle man in green
paying off, out on the street
i can't go home, it's not on my way
llllllaaaaaa
things are never done, car's parked in the sun
living in the day
last night i was about to throw it all away (4 times)

[Verse 1: Nelly]
I just touched down at this LAX
I'm looking for these girls on this LAX
Trying to find them niggas with that LA best
Dodging them niggas with that LA Stress
See I'm a visitor I'm a LA guest
I got to be aware on how the LA dress
Cause if it comes down I might get LA stretched
I ain't trying to be a trophy on no LA desk
Some niggas walk up tossing LA sets
I guess this supposed to be some type of LA test
Better watch the girls with the LA chest
Alot of plastic in those LA breasts (hahahaha)
I hit the crenshaw where they LA stunt
Seen a lot of 64's and LA trucks
Seen a lot of girls with them LA butts
A lot of niggas with them dickies and chucks (ya feel me)
[Chorus x2: Nelly, Snoop Dogg]
Switch 1 (switch 1) raise it up
Switch 2 (switch 2) make the back end up
Switch 3 (switch 3) work it side to side
Switch 4 (switch 4) make it a ? ride
Ya heard me
[Verse 2: Nelly]
Yo I spend a lot of time on this LA coast
Out here trying to do the LA most
Showfer driven phantom like a LA ghost
In the back with a drink take a LA toast
I spend a lot of time in them LA heels
With them models actresses and them LA heels
To my lawyers office for a LA deal
Cut the check for some LA kneels
Now I'm off to roadao just to LA shop
Still getting dirty looks from some LA cops
You than thought since Rodney King LA stopped
When they burn the LA watts
I send a lot of love to my LA brothers
My latinos and my negroes in them LA colors
My blessings go out to those LA mothers
Know that nelly is an LA lover
[Chorus x2: Nelly, Snoop Dogg]
Switch 1 (switch 1) raise it up
Switch 2 (switch 2) make the back end up
Switch 3 (switch 3) work it side to side
Switch 4 (switch 4) make it a ? ride

[Verse 3: Nate Dogg]
Guess who just stepped in the place (the midwest)
It's your OG homie Nate (all day)
My homie snoop and nelly (La)
And we all up in your face (all day)
Different questions everyday (the midwest)
I got my answer in my way (all day)
Yeah they all got something to say (LA)
From st. louis to La (all day)
[Chorus x2: Nelly, Snoop Dogg]
Switch 1 (switch 1) raise it up
Switch 2 (switch 2) make the back end up
