La La La
James S. Levine ("Американская история ужасов: Шабаш") Lyrics

LA, can't believe I found love in the city of LA
Discovering love in a city infamous for gang violence and crime is an unexpected surprise.

LA, it's the city of angels, it can take you anywhere
Los Angeles, also known as the city of angels, offers endless opportunities for success and growth.

LA, LA, LA, we found love in LA, LA, LA
Love was discovered in a city where negativity and violence are expected.

We found love
Founding love is a triumph amidst the turmoil that exists in LA.

In the city of the gang bang
LA is known for its gang violence and crime.

Yeah, we still dying over red and blue stripes
Gang violence and allegiance to colors (red and blue) still result in death for many in LA.

Chuck my set up and it feel good
Disassociating oneself from a gang provides a sense of liberation and safety.

'Cause don't nobody love you more than your neighborhood
The people in one's neighborhood (friends, family, gang) can provide a sense of love and belonging.

We always had bitches, we don't love those
Women (bitches) came and went, they were not a source of lasting love or commitment.

Grew up around the gangsters and the cutthroats
Being surrounded by criminals and dangerous people is a part of growing up in certain areas of LA.

Be careful where you at, you might get bust on
Living in LA requires being cautious and aware, as danger could be lurking around any corner.

Yeah, all my South Central niggas, Inglewood, twist your fingers up
Gesturing gang signs and representing one's neighborhood is a part of the culture in certain parts of LA.

Compton and Watts, Eastside, always turning up
Compton, Watts, and the Eastside are areas of LA known for their lively atmospheres and music scenes.

Bad bitches up at Greystone and Supperclub
Many attractive women (bad bitches) can be found at the popular LA nightclubs Greystone and Supperclub.

God, let me right my wrongs, God, let me write this song
Asking for forgiveness and the opportunity to make things right through music.

God in the middle with a month
Belief in a higher power providing guidance and support.

Let me hit the pawn shop, momma said we need a loan
Financial struggles are a common reality in LA, and sometimes families need to pawn their possessions or take out loans to make ends meet.

God, let me dedicate this to the 80% that ain't never coming home
Honoring those who have been lost to violence and crime in LA, acknowledging that a large majority don't make it out alive.

God, let me know you exist
Yearning for spiritual connection and reassurance from a higher power.

In a city where a hundred hollow-tips get thrown
A reflection on the prevalence of gun violence in LA.

I'm off that Centennial
The reference to Centennial High School in Compton is a nod to the rapper's roots and struggles.

Fuckin' at the party, nigga, at the party, we fade ten or more

My hood came thinkin' we yellin', "We in this bitch"
Celebrating and representing one's neighborhood and friends, showing pride in where one comes from.

Then we yellin', "We in your bitch"
Boasting and taking pride in being successful in club culture and winning over women.

Or you tellin' all of us our dwellin' inside of 2Pacalypse, thug life
Being aware of the influence that late rapper Tupac and the thug life mentality have had on youth culture in LA.

And we off that whoopty-whoopty-whoop
Referencing the Crip gang's slang (whoop) and their signature dance moves.

And we in that hoopty with the two choppers
Riding around in a sketchy car (hoopty) with two guns (choppers).

So we're guaranteed to shoot
Emphasizing the violent and dangerous nature of LA gang culture.

Lock us in the L.A. County zoo
The prison system in LA is known for its harsh conditions and overcrowding, often likened to a zoo.

Watch us eat a bear alive and ooh

This feels so good to keep it true
Being honest and true to oneself in a culture that can be fake and dishonest.

Watch that marijuana just burn
Marijuana is a commonly used drug in LA and can be found burning on street corners.

This shit just make you wanna just sin

See that Staples Center high earnin' if the Lakers get me a win

I'm gon' liquor shot in memory of Pac, Makaveli live again
Honoring the late Tupac Shakur, who was also known as Makaveli.

Bitch, I'm in L.A. yeah, yeah, motherfucker
Proudly representing LA and embodying the tough, gritty, and unapologetic culture that comes with it.

My nigga so many fell down 'round here and they won't tell
