La La La La La La
La La La La La
I'm from the north side (from the north, yeah)
Where people talk way too much
They say we don't fight (yeah, we don't fight)
But that's not what we're made of
They'll leave, they gon' die
But we're not stressing too much (we're not stressing)
We said we won't lie
But that's just what we're made of
And the streets are
Empty holes
Driving down on the eastside freeway
And the lights are
Blinding people
But we keep on moving always
And it got me singing like (La La La La La)
And it got me singing like (La La La La La)
We're two in the same van
Built it from our hands
Please don't ask where it came from
Big plans over big dreams
Ask us where we're going
And I'll tell you where we came from
When it's slippery and slides yeah
She never goes with me
Wine on the table but we need a little plus yeah
Lychee juice with a little bit of peach
Makes my mouth go dumb
Makes my mind go numb yeah
Layers on my headband
Layers on my way
Feeling like the same man
But I changed a lot
Traveled through the whole globe
Just to get in touch
With the people in the front
And the people in the back yeah
And the people in the back yeah
Can you sing it with me




And the people in the front yeah
Can you sing it with me

It's a place where people talk too much, but they don't fight, which in a way seems like a reference to a close-knit, communicative community where disagreements are resolved through dialogue rather than violence. As the song progresses, we hear in the lyrics that the singer is not too worried about the people who leave because they know that they'll always have their roots to fall back on.


The chorus of the song is incredibly catchy, with the repetition of "La La La" emphasizing the sense of unwavering optimism and joy that the song embodies. The artist has beautifully captured the feeling of driving down a freeway and seeing the empty streets and blinding lights. The sense of motion and momentum is palpable in the song, and the positivity and hopefulness of the lyrics are infectious.


Overall, the song feels like a celebration of the artist's life journey, and the people who have been along for the ride. He's traveled around the world but still feels connected to his roots, and the sense of joy and positivity that permeates the song is absolutely infectious.
