(Raised In L.A.)
L.A
Big City Of Dreams Right?
But Everything Isn't What It Looks Like From Afar
You Feel Me?
(Its L.A.)

[Verse 1]
I'm Looking For A Place Where I Can Smoke My Weed
I'm Chilling & I'm Sitting Waitin' Patiently
I Don't Know Why These People Wanna Hate On Me
They Really Wanna Make Me Go And Catch A First Degree
I'm Just A Kid Trying To Make History
I Ain't Lying, When I Say I'll Murder Any Beat
Put Any Other Rapper Right In Front Of Me
And I'm A Show Em
How We Really Living In These Streets
Everwhere I Go, People Stop & Stare
Cause I'm High & Cause I'm Tatted Everywhere
A Year Ago The Same People Didn't Care
They Never Had To See My Face Posted Everywhere
They Say I'm Young & That I Live Without A Care
You Wanna Live My Life
That's A Fucking Dare
I Had To Work For Every Little Thing I Got
You Think It's Cool
But Man I Say It's Not Alot
See I'm Trying To Make My Fucken Guwop
So I Can Put My Family Members Way On Top
You Say Thats How It Is
And Yes I Would Agree
But Poverty
Is Really Starting To Get To Me
(DJ Scratchs) L.A

[Vese 2]
I'm Studying The Game Every Fucken Day
I Wonder Why So Many People Have To Wait
Too Many Damn Gold Diggers In L.A
They Jump At Any Chance
Just To Get Their Fame
It Seems Like Real Talent
Always Comes In Last
I Swear The Game
Is Nothing Like The Fucken Past
Do I Really Have To Go & Fucken Blast?
Just To Get A Mexican A Fucken Chance
My Passion Turning Into Hate
I Struggle With My Own Feelings Everyday
I Feel At Times I Have To Go & Get Away
Cause If The Pressure Keeps Building
It Won't Be Okay
My City's Fiendin' Like A Dream
I'm Tryin' To Turn My Dream Into Reality
I'm Tryin' To Live My Life
So Let Me Fucking Be
Or You Could Be Another Victim To A Casualty
