Uh, yeah
I just told myself, uh
Yeah, uh, yeah

Welcome to LA
The land of opportunity where everybody stay
The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray
Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away
The land of opportunity where everybody stay

Yeah, and move out to this town where dreams, ambitions, and get lost in the party
Takes a toll on you, man, this **** will charge a large fee
Just don't forget who you are, G
Staring at the man in the mirror, like I recognize him hardly
Brought my sins away and twist some parsley
Stop and chill, these days I do it sparsely
In another universe I coulda' had a stroller and a car seat, but-
And tell me things not happen how they supposed to
But somehow it seems I hurt all the people I get close to
Experience a breakdown some 27 goes through
'Cause you don't want to see heaven, yeah, where Janis Joplin knows you
On phone calls with Mama like she tryin' to give me a earfull
She said "This is the town that happens in so just be careful
Been tryin' to keep your head straight
And dead-off all that ********, that's just dead weight"
Yeah

Welcome to LA
The land of opportunity where everybody stay
The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray
Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away
The land of opportunity where everybody stay

The whole world's outside knocking at my door like "Gerald, where the **** that album at?"
But I ain't home, I'm on the road, the stage is where they found me at
So my personal interest, take a backseat to the business
But I balance like a gymnast, like Simone in the Olympics
So please pardon my tardiness, I'm tryin' to put my heart in this
Give this **** my everything, every time when I start with this
Hungry for the world, I swear I starve for this
Yeah, artists come and go these days it's easy, they're not hard to miss
Here today, gone tomorrow, they fade into a dark abyss
Hollywood sunk to a dream, like how the **** you fall for this?
Have to know yourself or you just really gon' get lost in this, sauce
I really paid the cost to be a boss
I paid in cash and skipped the tax, ain't asked for no receipt
When I get stressed I play the beat and split a Swisher Sweet
Damn

Welcome to LA
The land of opportunity where everybody stay
The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray
Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away
The land of opportunity, yeah, uh
