lyrics
to my second home, hold tight while I find my first
LA, no love lost, people don't know your worth
but you can't take a second for granted on this earth
hope the Big One don't hit and interrupt this verse
my mind's eye hover like a chopper past your high rise
over concrete streets and drivebys
night skies illuminated by the lights of the fives
fuck your Blade Runner sci-fi, this is larger than life-size
a few hundred square miles, the city's a grid
it's alive, electric, and everyone's affected
shit took its grip on us since we was kids
and manifested in a bunch of dumb shit we did
wasn't nothing new, the usual, kids wanna be cool
except being cool means putting people on the news
live from Hollywood, with the world taking cues
now what you expect a bunch of insecure kids to do?
lotta jailed killers, lotta good cats no longer with us
lotta dudes did dirt now, it's just them and their mirrors
villains with feelings, hoping remorse runs its course
but of course it's a life sentence, grasping for penance
motherfuckers found God, or they married some broad
or wasting away in the yard, regardless it's hard
no matter what your cards, this is it, just you and the view
tell me what you see, I'll tell you about you
I'll be back, believe that, where else I'ma go?
man, I'm homeless -so America's where I'm at home
