[Intro]
~#**************#~
At this time, please extinguish all smoking materials
~#**************#~
Return all seat backs, and tray tables

To their most upright, and long position
~#**************#~
Also at this time please take care to fasten your seatbelt
~#**************#~
Enjoy your stay, welcome to L.A
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Welcome to L.A, where you can see the whole city burning
~#**************#~
Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
~#**************#~
And your kids aint learning shit, except this
~#**************#~
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
~#**************#~
Welcome to L.A, where you can see the whole city burning
~#**************#~
Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
~#**************#~
And your kids aint learning shit, except this

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
MCs get fucked up, chopped like Braveheart
~#**************#~
Dont start what you cant finish, serious bidness
~#**************#~
Down La Cienega to bust a left on Venice
~#**************#~
Where you can find me and mines — Los Angeles Times
~#**************#~
Welcome to L.A
~#**************#~
Where every other day Im taking the hat off my head
~#**************#~
Givin respect to the dead, and avoid havin the same thing
~#**************#~
Said about me, Xzibit stand underground
~#**************#~
Like the roots of a tree, watered three times a day
~#**************#~
Forty ounce Olde E, like a magnifying glass
~#**************#~
Making it easier to see, the Mister X to the Z
~#**************#~
Dont P, L.A., why test without vest-es
~#**************#~
Stop lead projectile, Apocalypse Now
~#**************#~
Love Allah not new car, faggot, superstar
~#**************#~
Type of cat, fuck that, mash away in a
~#**************#~
Diamond-white Concours ‘Llac
~#**************#~
Still black so the one-time react as if under attack
~#**************#~
Aint nothin changed but district range, feel no pain
~#**************#~
Mr. Big Bad Insane Black John McClane with
~#**************#~
Liquor on the brain, down to earth like dirt
~#**************#~
From the city where niggas known for puttin in work
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~

[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Welcome to L.A
~#**************#~
If hand determine dick size, Im palmin the Earth
~#**************#~
Select turf, then plant bad seed and give birth
~#**************#~
And make the hard work look easy fuh sheezee
~#**************#~
Leavin you and your best man, stiffer than mannequins
~#**************#~
Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam leatherneck
~#**************#~
Marine drill sergeant, you nothin but a target (pow!)
~#**************#~
Charge it to the game, gotta look beyond the brand name
~#**************#~
Comin from the guts like I slammed down twenty cups
~#**************#~
Of Hennesey straight, relate feel my hate
~#**************#~
Xzibit flippin through these bitches like DJ crates
~#**************#~
Translate to left field, only real niggas follow
~#**************#~
Bitches suck and swallow, Im livin life behind the bottle
~#**************#~
Never the role model, still shinin like a new automobile
~#**************#~
Flow six-fo, you cant steal
~#**************#~
Cause I got a kill switch with a itch for the action
~#**************#~
While other rappers use mass weapons of destraction
~#**************#~
To sell they shit
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~

[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
El ve-te-rano, you can only pray to learn what I know
~#**************#~
Ride slow across the horizon a lone desperado
~#**************#~
Comin through the door bringin nothin but hits
~#**************#~
Sometimes I feel like a matador, lookin at this bullshit
~#**************#~
Niggas pull rent from the crack of they ass
~#**************#~
Maintain do your thang this too shall pass
~#**************#~
I season beef with lead pieces then cook it with gas
~#**************#~
Im from the school of hard knocks way ahead in the class
~#**************#~
Xzibit hard to get through, like bulletproof glass
~#**************#~
Break it down like Johnny Cochran then mix it with hash
~#**************#~
Your defense cant last against advanced prosecution
~#**************#~
Hit the airwaves like pollution — hey, heres a solution
~#**************#~
Take a trip to Washington then burn the Constitution
~#**************#~
Top government officials locked down for prostitution
~#**************#~
Recruitin the hard rocks mean streets keep producin
~#**************#~
The world is a riot shit is mine for the lootin
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Welcome to L.A, where you can see the whole city burning
