tupac – to live & die in l.a. lyrics
[dominique] street science, you’re on the air [static]
what do you feel when you hear a record like tupac’s new one? [static]
[man responds] i love tupac’s new record [static]
[dominique]
right, but don’t you feel like that creates [static]
a tension between east and west? [static]
he’s talking about killing people [static]
i had s-x with your wife and not in those words [static]
but he’s talking about i wanna see you deceased [static]
[intro: makaveli]
no doubt… to live and die in la
california — what you say about los angeles
still the only place for me that never rains in the sun
and everybody got love
[verse one: makaveli]
to live and die in la, where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
us n-gg-z hustle for the cash so it’s hard to knock it
everybody got they own thang, currency chasing
worldwide through the hard times, warrior faces
shed tears as we bury n-gg-z close to heart
what was a friend now a ghost in the dark, cold hearted bout it
n-gg- got smoked by a fiend, trying to floss on him
blind to a broken man’s dream, a hard lesson
court cases keep me guessing, plea bargain
ain’t an option now, so i’m stressing, cost me more
to be free than a life in the pen
making money off of cuss words, writing again
learn how to think ahead, so i fight with my pen
late night down sunset liking the scene
what’s the worst they could do to a n-gg- got me lost in h-ll
to live and die in la on bail, my angel sing
[chorus: val young]
to live and die in la, it’s the place to be
you’ve got to be there to know it, what everybody wanna see
[repeat 2x]
[verse two: makaveli]
it’s the, city 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 n-gg-z getting three strikes, tossed in jail
i swear the pen the right across from h-ll, i can’t cry
cause it’s on now, i’m just a n-gg- on his own now
living life thug style, so i can’t smile
writing to my peoples when they ask for pictures
thinking cali just fun and b-tches, hahaha
better learn about the dress code, b’s and c’s
all them other n-gg-z copycats, these is g’s
i love cali like i love woman
cause every n-gg- in la got a little bit of thug in him
we might fight among each other, but i promise you this
we’ll burn this b-tch down, get us p-ssed
to live and die in la
(let my angel sing)
[chorus]
[verse three: makaveli]
cause would it be la without mexicans?
black love brown pride and the sets again
pete wilson trying to see us all broke, i’m on some bullsh-t
out for everything they owe, remember k-day
weekends, crenshaw — mlk
automatics rang free, n-gg-z lost they way
gang signs being showed, n-gg- love your hood
but recognize and it’s all good, where the weed at?
n-gg-z getting shermed out
snoop dogg in this muhf-cka perved out, m.o.b.
big suge in the low-low, bounce and turn
dogg pound in the lex, wit a ounce to burn
got them watts n-gg-z with me, oftb
they got some hash took the stash left the rest for me
neckbone, tre, head ron, punchy too
big rock got knocked, but this one’s for you
i hit the studio and drop a jewel, hoping it pay
getting high watching time fly, to live and die in la
(let my angel sing)
[chorus]
[outro: makaveli]
this go out for 92.3, and 106
all the radio stations that be b-mping my sh-t
making my sh-t sells katruple quitraple platinum, hehe
this go out to all the magazines that supported me
all the real motherf-ckers
all the stores, the mom and pop spots
a&r people, all y’all motherf-ckers
la, california love part motherf-cking two
without gay -ss dre
