DESCRIPTION:
CITY OF ANGELS

VERSE 1:
CITY OF ANGELS, NOTORIOUS FOR ITS STREET GANGS
FAMOUS NAMES, PROPER ETIQUETTE TO STREET SLANG
MY CITY SHOWED THE NATION HOW TO GANG-BANG,
BUT MY CITY'S NEVER QUIET SINCE THE L.A. RIOTS.
ALTHOUGH THE MURDER RATE HAS DROPPED
THEY COULD BE LYING, CAMERAS ON MY FREEWAYS
AN GUESS WHO'S SPYING, THE WAKING GIANT.
POLITICAL AGENDA,
THEY'D RATHER SEE US FRYING AND DYING THERE'S
NO DENYING
CITY OF ANGELS, EVERY RACE, EVERY CREED
FROM WEED-X-TO SPEED-COCA-TO WHAT YOU NEED.
3 STRIKES YOUR OUT, SOME WILL NEVER GO FREE
IN MY CITY OF PALMTREES, FAST CARS AND FELONIES
BEAUTIFUL MAMI'S AT THE CLUBS WITH A DEADLY DISEASE
AS THE NEXT GENERATION, LEARNS THERE A B C'S
FROM DUB, OUNCE, TO POUND, BALLERS MOVING KEYS
LA PUSHING MORE WEIGHT THEN HER-CU-LES

CHORUS:
WHETHER I'M HUSTLING THE BLOCK
OR SPITTING LYRICS TO HIP-HOP
KRAZYRACE GOT IT LOCKED
LIKE GATS TO GUNSHOTS
PITCHBLACK TOTAL SILENCE
AS WE LAY TO SLEEP
MAY GOD FORGIVE OUR SINS
WHEN WE'RE RUNNING THE STREETS.

VERSE 2:
CITY OF ANGELS, WHERE I LIVE, WHERE I ROAM
HALF THE CITY'S FULLBLOWN, STONED OR HOLDING CHROM
MOVIE STARS TO STREET SCARS
FROM CLASS TO BEHIND BARS, EVERYBODY PLAYS HARD
TILL THEY PULL YOUR CARD
DON'T EVER SAY TO MUCH OR BE A RAT, IT'S CALLED
STREET-SMARTS
MOTHER F**KERS, WATCH OUT FOR THE NARCS
NIGHTTIME IN L.A., BULLETS THEY RICOCHET
KNOW THERE'S CROOKED AND CORRUPT COPS
LIKE IN TRAINING DAY.
TURN DOWN THE WRONG WAY, U BECOME THE PRAY
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU STAY, MAY FEEL LIKE ITS
D-DAY
THIS IS CALI-FOR-NI-A IN THE U.S. OF A
BE GLAD WILSON LEFT OFFICE BUT THE SKIES ARE GREY
SHIT SPARKS AFTER DARK IN A CITY FULL OF SHARKS
PIT BITES AND BARKS, EVERY CLICK HAS BRAVEHEARTS
TILL DEATH DO US APART, MY WORDS EQUAL ART
SPITTIN VENOMOUS FLOWS & LYRICALS POISONOUS DARTS

WHETHER I'M HUSTLING THE BLOCK
OR SPITTING LYRICS TO HIP-HOP
KRAZYRACE GOT IT LOCKED
LIKE GATS TO GUNSHOTS
PITCHBLACK TOTAL SILENCE
AS WE LAY TO SLEEP
MAY GOD FORGIVE OUR SINS
WHEN WE'RE RUNNING THE STREETS.

VERSE 3:
DEAR LORD, JUST BLESS ME AS I'M LIVIN
IN THE NOT SO SUNNY-SIDE, WHERE THE RULES
OF THE STREET ARE WRITTEN.
JUST LISTEN AND PAY ATTENTION AND DID I MENTION
THAT 1 OUT OF 3 CARS HAS 4 WHEEL SUSPENSION
FOR MY PEEPS IN CALIFORNIA, BEST BELIEVE I'M
REPRESENTIN
LYRICAL VOCAL WEAPON, WHEN I'M STEPPIN
IN YOUR DIRECTION, TEFLON IS YOUR PROTECTION
IN ANY GIVEN SECTION.
WANNA KNOW WHERE I'M FROM, LET ME ANSWER THAT
QUESTION, 1ST LESSON,
BORN AND RAISED IN CAPITAL L.A.
BETTER WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, THOUSANDS OF WARRIORS
COME OUT TO PLAY, EVERYDAY FROM EVERYWAY
JUST LET THE SONG PLAY, MAKEWAY FOR MAYDAY,
TIME TO PRAY.
REVOLUTION- CITY LIFE IS USING AND ABUSING
KEEP ON MOVIN' HAVE NO TIME FOR LOSIN, LATINO MOVEMENT
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND WHAT DO U SEE?
A SEA OF BROWN FACES LIKE YOU AND ME
BUT YET WE CARRY BRASS KNUCKLES TO BAT AND CHAINS
STEEL-SHANKS TO A.K.'S, SHOTGUNS AND GRENADES
POLICE RAIDS..
TAKE A LOOK AT MY CITY FROM ABOVEU SEE A MAZE!

WHETHER I'M HUSTLING THE BLOCK
OR SPITTING LYRICS TO HIP-HOP
KRAZYRACE GOT IT LOCKED
LIKE GATS TO GUNSHOTS
PITCHBLACK TOTAL SILENCE
AS WE LAY TO SLEEP
MAY GOD FORGIVE OUR SINS
WHEN WE'RE RUNNING THE STREETS.
