2Pac Lyrics
"To
Live & Die In L.A."
[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 sex 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 niggaz hustle
for the cash so it's hard to knok it
Everybody got they own thang, currency
chasin
Worldwide through the hard times, warrior faces
Shed tears as we
bury niggaz close to heart
What was a friend now a ghost in the dark, cold
hearted bout it
Nigga got smoked by a fiend, tryin to floss on him
Blind
to a broken man's dream, a hard lesson
Court cases keep me guessin, plea bargain
ain't an option now, so I'm stressin, cost me more
to be free than a life
in the pen
Makin money off of cuss words, writin again
Learn how to think
ahead, so I fight with my pen
Late night down Sunset likin the scene
What's
the worst they could do to a nigga got me lost in hell
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
Watchin the ghetto bird helicopters,
I observe
So many niggaz gettin three strikes, tossed in jail
I swear
the pen the right across from hell, I can't cry
Cause it's on now, I'm just
a nigga on his own now
Livin life Thug style, so I can't smile
Writin
to my peoples when they ask for pictures
Thinkin Cali just fun and bitches,
hahaha
Better learn about the dress code, B's and C's
All them other niggaz
copycats, these is G's
I love Cali like I love woman
Cause every nigga
in LA got a little bit of Thug in him
We might fight with each other, but
I promise you this
We'll burn this bitch down, get us pissed
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 tryin to see us all broke, I'm on some bullshit
Out for everything
they owe, remember K-DAY
Weekends, Crenshaw -- MLK
Automatics rang free,
niggaz lost they way
Gang signs being showed, nigga love your hood
But
reconize and it's all good, where the weed at?
Niggaz gettin shermed out
Snoop Dogg in this muhfucka 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 niggaz
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, hopin it pay
Gettin high watchin 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 bumpin my shit
Makin
my shit sells katruple quitraple platinum, hehe
This go out to all the magazines
that supported me
All the real motherfuckers
All the stores, the mom and
pop spots
A&R people, all y'all motherfuckers
LA, California Love
part motherfuckin Two
Without gay ass Dre
