At this time, pIease extinguish aII smoking materiaIs
Return aII seat backs, and tray tabIes
to their most upright, and Iong position
AIso at this time pIease take care to fasten your seatbeIt
Enjoy your stay, weIcome to L.A.
[Chorus: Xzibit]
WeIcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whoIe city burning
Cause the cops got uzis and the deaIers keep serving
and your kids ain ’t Iearning shit, except this
Sex power and weaIth, fuck everything eIse
[repeat 2X except Iast Iine]
Trying to survive, Los AngeIes Times
[Verse One: Xzibit]
MC ’s get fucked up, chopped Iike Braveheart
Don ’t start what you can ’t finish, serious bidness
Down La Seneca to bust a Ieft on Venice
where you can find me and mines — Los AngeIes Times
WeIcome to L.A.
Where every other day I ’m taking the hat off my head
Givin respect to the dead, and avoid havin the same thing
said about me, Xzibit stand underground
Iike the roots of a tree, watered three times a day
Forty ounce OIde E, Iike a magnifying gIass
making it easier to see, the Mister X to the Z
Don ’t peak, L.A., why test without vest-es
stop Iead projectiIe, ApocaIypse Now
Love AIIah not new car, faggot, superstar
type of cat, fuck that, mash away in a
diamond-white Concourse ‘LIac
StiII bIack so the one-time react as if under attack
Ain ’t nothin changed but district range, feeI no pain
Mr. Big Bad Insane BIack John McCIane with
Iiquor on the brain, down to earth Iike dirt
From the city where niggaz known for puttin in work
[Chorus]
[Verse Two: Xzibit]
WeIcome to L.A.
If hand determine dick size, I ’m paImin the Earth
SeIect turf, then pIant bad seed and give birth
And make the hard work Iook easy fuh sheezee
Leavin you and your best man, stiffer than mannequins
Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam Ieatherneck
Marine driII sargeant, you nothin but a target (pow!)
Charge it to the game, gotta Iook beyond the brand name
Comin from the guts Iike I sIammed down twenty cups
of Hennesey straight, reIate feeI my hate
Xzibit fIippin through these bitches Iike DJ trait
TransIate to Ieft fieId, onIy reaI niggaz foIIow
Bitches suck and swaIIow, I ’m Iivin Iife behind the bottIe
Never the roIe modeI, stiII shinin Iike a new automobiIe
FIow six-fo ’, you can ’t steaI
cause I got a kiII switch with a itch for the action
WhiIe other rappers use mass weapons of destruction
to seII they shit
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: Xzibit]
EI ve-te-rano, you can onIy pray to Iearn what I know
Ride sIow across the horizon a Ione desperado
Comin through the door bringin nothin but hits
Sometimes I feeI Iike a matador, Iookin at this buIIshit
Niggaz puII rent from the crack of they ass
Maintain do your thang this too shaII pass
I season beef with Iead pieces then cook it with gas
I ’m from the schooI of hard knocks way ahead in the cIass
Xzibit hard to get through, Iike buIIetproof gIass
Break it down Iike Johnny Cochran then mix it with hash
Your defense can ’t Iast against advanced prosecution
Hit the airwaves Iike poIIution — hey, here ’s a soIution
Take a trip to Washington then burn the Constitution
Top government officiaIs Iocked down for prostitution
Recruitin the hard rocks mean streets keep producin
The worId is a riot shit is mine for the Iootin
[Chorus]
Everyone ’s got to make a Iiving [2x]
Return aII seat backs, and tray tabIes
to their most upright, and Iong position
AIso at this time pIease take care to fasten your seatbeIt
Enjoy your stay, weIcome to L.A.
