Crisis
L.A. Prostitutes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
As long as profit is sought and found in illness we will suffer
Pockets line, while we die
Pockets line, we die
There once was a man who was priceless
Broken down in the elevator lifeless
He died in the opioid crisis
Death come and take you from the vices
Living in the opioid crisis
Living in the opioid crisis
Living in the opioid crisis
George Bush invades Afganistan
US Army in a foreign land
Soldiers stand guard at poppy fields
Connect the dots and you will know the plan
Pharma companies and government
Threw the stone at us and hid their hand
Overdosing on prescriptions
If you don't see it then adjust your lens
Sickness in America is business
Pharma companies protect their interest
Aborted fetuses in vaccines for an infant
Afterwords they become autistic
There once was a man who was priceless
Moonwalked with Propofol and now he lifeless
Doctor siting at his bedside
He died in the opioid crisis
Death come and take you from the vices
Living in the opioid crisis
Living in the opioid crisis
Living in the opioid crisis
Any kind of cancer you imagine
NCI has the cures on a patent
NDA signed by the staffing
Stephen J Chanock is laughing
Demons on the board and they're laughing
Blood in the bowl and they're lapping
Distribute the cure for their families
Weaponize for C.I.A. assassins
There once was a man who was priceless
Found him on his side in the hotel lifeless
In the UnderGround he was known as a King
He died in the opioid crisis
Death come and take you from the vices
Living in the opioid crisis
Living in the opioid crisis
Living in the opioid crisis
Pockets line, while we die
Pockets line, we die
We die!
Don't die
The lyrics of "Crisis" by L.A. Prostitutes reflect a strong critique of society's reliance on and profiting from illness and suffering. The song starts by pointing out that as long as society allows establishments to profit from sickness and as long as there is financial gain in the face of illness, people will continue to suffer. The repetition of "pockets line, while we die" emphasizes the harsh reality that while some individuals and industries benefit financially, many others are left to suffer and die.
The song then delves into the opioid crisis, highlighting the devastating impact it has had on society. It references a man who died due to the opioid crisis, portraying him as a victim of society's struggle with addiction. The lyrics suggest that the pharmaceutical companies and the government played a role in perpetuating this crisis, with the invasion of Afghanistan and the military guarding poppy fields. It further suggests that pharmaceutical companies prioritize protecting their own interests, even if it means individuals suffer from overdosing on prescriptions.
The song also touches on controversial subjects, such as the alleged use of aborted fetuses in vaccines and the idea that cancer cures exist but are kept hidden. These lines criticize the pharmaceutical industry and government agencies, hinting at a conspiracy involving patenting cures and distribution for personal gain.
In the final verse, the lyrics mention another man who lost his life in the opioid crisis and was known as a king in the underground scene. The repetition of "Living in the opioid crisis" reinforces the focus on the ongoing struggle faced by individuals in society.
Overall, "Crisis" by L.A. Prostitutes is a powerful and critical song that shines a light on the exploitation and suffering caused by societal issues such as the opioid crisis, profit-driven healthcare, and alleged cover-ups.

Funny how that lady said she’s okay with prostitution, but doesn’t want it in her neighborhood. They woke until stuff starts happening in there neighborhood.
Ul Rap
It's ridiculous, hypocrisy
Ace
She never said that.... but, wouldn't be surprised if she did.
Ian
In other words...there is a place this should be happening. Not in the streets of our communities...but hey you keep thinking in black and white.
Jesus Gonzalez
@Ace she said it at 2:56 bro smh. She said she has no problem with the sex worker or the business itself, but doesn’t want it happening in a “residential neighborhood”
Ace
@Jesus Gonzalez - Aaaah. I thought you meant the outreach/case worker... ..not the yuppie. Sorry for the confusion🙃💫

This has been an ongoing problem for decades. It has gotten out of control in the last five years. The authorities (city hall officials and police) don’t do anything about this problem. Having police officers patrol the four blocks on foot and on vehicle it would make an enormous deterrent. Even if just done on the weekends. District Supervisor Hillary Ronen should care about this problem. But I’m sure she’s busy trying to get more bicycle lanes through her neighborhood. I reside in this neighborhood and I’ve seen prostitution come and go, but never to this level. When is she running for office again….

Your aware your governor wrote an executive order curtailing police from interacting with anyone appearing to be pandering down the street , right ? Why would he do such a thing ? Besides being an idiot he explained that trans people comprise a large part of those pandering and didn't want them to suffer harassment from police ...

@ShawnCan't change people's vote. The Governor can do no wrong. California loves Newsome.

It is so depressing to hear this. As a SF resident visiting Tokyo at this time, I see a wonderul the city that has none of the awful things that are happening in SF. I wish we could get our act together. SF does not need to be like this.
