City of Angels, land of God
The city of demons, looking for us
The City of Angels, land of God
The city of demons, looking for us

L. A., L. A
The place of all places
Drug use and dark faces can make or break you
I stood on by the water and watched him skip the line
One night it's gon' be me inside

Goddamn, it ain't easy let me tell ya
Account is overdrawn doing sessions in the valley
Every other night
Connections only get you so far, so far

But oh, what a feeling (how it feels)
Oh, what a thrill (you will kill)
To look down from these hills
Put the life I knew behind, but still
This don't feel for real

'Cause I still ain't ate a meal
My stomach growling, but I'm fucking styling
Spent my last twenty drunk and Uber riding
Ain't nobody cutting checks if you ain't happy smiling
This shit tastes all Italian

And it ain't easy let me tell ya
Account is overdrawn doing sessions in the valley
Every other night
And it goes on and on

Yeah, I'm proud that I'm chasing something
'Cause I don't know better than being broke, bored and back at home
Oh, this is all hope I'm making something
'Cause I don't know bigger than any fling I ever known

L. A., L. A
This sunken shine fishes
With the folks in tall riches and plus the bitches
I stood off by the water, watched them pick a side
One day from now we all could die

God damn, it ain't easy let me tell ya
Account is overdrawn doing sessions in the valley every other night
Connections only get you so far, so far

But oh, what a feeling (how it feels)
Oh, what a thrill (you will kill)
To look down from these hills
Put the life I knew behind, but still
This don't feel for real

'Cause I still can't cut a deal
I wanna a rollie, but it's moving slowly
Spent my last twenty buying drinks for homies
And everybody wanna know me
Just to say you own me
Shit been getting phony

Damn, it ain't easy let me tell ya
Account is overdrawn doing sessions in the valley
Every other night
And shit goes on and on

Yeah, I'm proud that I'm chasing something
'Cause I don't know better than being broke, bored and back at home
Oh, this is all hope I'm making something
'Cause I don't know bigger than any fling I ever known
