Where i come from is where i live
It’s something kind of sexy like the sunset strip
Sometimes it’s dangerous, like the bloods and the crips
I said, i love los angeles
People chasing dreams (yeah) to grant their wishes (that’s right)
And the movie stars shoot the hollywood flicks (that’s right)
And the lakers win the championship
I said, i love los angeles
Not the handsomest or the most talented
But give it to me and bеst believe that i can handlе it
Dante basco, the king of los angeles
If only in my own mind, legend in my own time
Founder of the poetry lounge, since the underground
Some say i’m just so profound
I’ve been around the world and i’ve seen many places
My family and friends got familiar faces
Where i come from is where i live
It’s something kind of sexy like the sunset strip
Sometimes it’s dangerous, like the bloods and the crips
I said, i love los angeles
People chasing dreams to grant their wishes
And the movie stars shoot the hollywood flicks
And the lakers win the championship
I said, i love los angeles
Well, it’s the california kid, and i’m comin’ from the westside
They let me in the club, ’cause they knew i had some fresh rhymes
Some say i’m cocky, but why do they jock me?
I’m original, this ain’t no carbon copy
And even when i’m broke the remedy for my sadness
Vip at the club with celebrity status
Seen on billboards that los angeles likes ya
Want to be like sheila e. and live the glamorous life
Where i come from is where i live
It’s something kind of sexy like the sunset strip
Sometimes it’s dangerous, like the bloods and the crips
I said, i love los angeles
People chasing dreams to grant their wishes
And the movie stars shoot the hollywood flicks
And the lakers win the championship
I said, i love los angeles
I’m a rebel without a cause on a streetcar named desire
You ask me where i’m going and i say, “casablanca”
You can catch me chillin’ on the waterfront
Running with the wild one
Looking for my place in the sun
But it’s just another dog day afternoon
Night comes and i’m racing with the moon
Feeling like an outsider, easy rider
It’s the king and i on an x-wing fighter
You’re a shark or a jet in this west side story
But i’m hard like the godfather 1, 2 and 3
Better yet, scarface, bullitt in a car chase
It’s the great escape from the planet of the apes
Sometimes life is like a hollywood production
But from here to eternity, we’re gone with the wind
Where i come from is where i live
It’s something kind of sexy like the sunset strip
Sometimes it’s dangerous, like the bloods and the crips
I said, i love los angeles
People chasing dreams to grant their wishes
And the movie stars shoot the hollywood flicks
And the lakers win the championship
I said, i love los angeles
I love los angeles
I love los angeles
I love los angeles
I love los angeles
Where i come from is where i live
It’s something kind of sexy like the sunset strip
Sometimes it’s dangerous, like the bloods and the crips
I said, i love los angeles
People chasing dreams to grant their wishes
And the movie stars shoot the hollywood flicks
And the lakers win the championship
I said, i love los angeles
