Soul in the Hole movie - Los Angeles Times lyrics

rate me

Song by Xzibit<br /><br>

At this time, please extinguish all smoking materials<br>

Return all seat backs, and tray tables<br>

to their most upright, and long position<br>

Also at this time please take care to fasten your seatbelt<br>

Enjoy your stay, welcome to L.A.<br>

<br>

[Chorus: Xzibit]<br>

<br>

Welcome to L.A.<br>

Where you can see the whole city burning<br>

Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving<br>

and your kids ain't learning shit, except this<br>

Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else<br>

[repeat 2X except last line]<br>

Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times<br>

<br>

[Verse One: Xzibit]<br>

<br>

MC's get fucked up, chopped like Braveheart<br>

Don't start what you can't finish, serious bidness<br>

Down La Seneca to bust a left on Venice<br>

where you can find me and mines -- Los Angeles Times<br>

Welcome to L.A.<br>

Where every other day I'm taking the hat off my head<br>

Givin respect to the dead, and avoid havin the same thing<br>

said about me, Xzibit stand underground<br>

like the roots of a tree, watered three times a day<br>

Forty ounce Olde E, like a magnifying glass<br>

making it easier to see, the Mister X to the Z<br>

Don't peak, L.A., why test without vest-es<br>

stop lead projectile, Apocalypse Now<br>

Love Allah not new car, faggot, superstar<br>

type of cat, fuck that, mash away in a<br>

diamond-white Concourse 'Llac<br>

Still black so the one-time react as if under attack<br>

Ain't nothin changed but district range, feel no pain<br>

Mr. Big Bad Insane Black John McClane with<br>

liquor on the brain, down to earth like dirt<br>

From the city where niggaz known for puttin in work<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Verse Two: Xzibit]<br>

<br>

Welcome to L.A.<br>

If hand determine dick size, I'm palmin the Earth<br>

Select turf, then plant bad seed and give birth<br>

And make the hard work look easy fuh sheezee<br>

Leavin you and your best man, stiffer than mannequins<br>

Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam leatherneck<br>

Marine drill sargeant, you nothin but a target (pow!)<br>

Charge it to the game, gotta look beyond the brand name<br>

Comin from the guts like I slammed down twenty cups<br>

of Hennesey straight, relate feel my hate<br>

Xzibit flippin through these bitches like DJ trait<br>

Translate to left field, only real niggaz follow<br>

Bitches suck and swallow, I'm livin life behind the bottle<br>

Never the role model, still shinin like a new automobile<br>

Flow six-fo', you can't steal<br>

cause I got a kill switch with a itch for the action<br>

While other rappers use mass weapons of destruction<br>

to sell they shit<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Verse Three: Xzibit]<br>

<br>

El ve-te-rano, you can only pray to learn what I know<br>

Ride slow across the horizon a lone desperado<br>

Comin through the door bringin nothin but hits<br>

Sometimes I feel like a matador, lookin at this bullshit<br>

Niggaz pull rent from the crack of they ass<br>

Maintain do your thang this too shall pass<br>

I season beef with lead pieces then cook it with gas<br>

I'm from the school of hard knocks way ahead in the class<br>

Xzibit hard to get through, like bulletproof glass<br>

Break it down like Johnny Cochran then mix it with hash<br>

Your defense can't last against advanced prosecution<br>

Hit the airwaves like pollution -- hey, here's a solution<br>

Take a trip to Washington then burn the Constitution<br>

Top government officials locked down for prostitution<br>

Recruitin the hard rocks mean streets keep producin<br>

The world is a riot shit is mine for the lootin<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Everyone's got to make a living [2X]<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Enjoy your stay, welcome to L.A.<br>
