Los Angeles
Limp Bizkit (Gold Cobra 2011) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's live from Los Angeles, babe!

Every corner that I turn,
I see a lady that burns,
Hot mama walking down the street,
I'm loving all these L.A. freaks.
Pretty woman look my way,
I'm throwing my hook your way,
Hold tight while I reel you in,
Better leave him so tell again.
Let's cruze down Sunset,
Make a pit stop at the Rainbow,
Then we gonna hit the Roxy,
Let a few hot mamas rock me.
So many, it's hard to choose,
Take your pick, they all bad news,
Got game, they all want you,
Damn shame, they always do.

Livin' in Los Angeles,
It's definitely scandalous.
So much ass in Los Angeles,
It's definitely scandalous.

You better know when to hold em',
Know when to fold em',
Know when to pull the brakes,
And keep rollin'.
Know when you got a Hollywood tranny,
Adam's apple,
Dick in the panties.
Gold diggin' comes with the scene,
One more fake Hollywood queen,
Got another when it coming fox,
Keep your cock in the sock.
Know what I mean.

Livin' in Los Angeles,
It's definitely scandalous.
So much ass in Los Angeles,
It's definitely scandalous.

She can pick you up,
She can bring you down,
She's got all your dreams,
Locked inside this town.
There's no way to leave,
Once you have a ride,
Just be glade you know,
That your still alive.
You want girls that crawl,
You can have it all,
Anything you want,
It's a monster's ball.
You won't have to beg,
They jump in your bed,
Better check your head,
Or you'll be left for dead.

Oh, yeah, come on now, oh, yeah.

Yeah, live in Los Angeles,
Home of the slutes and hookers and bullshit,
Gold diggers!




Yeah, you ain't missin' shit, baby,
Come on, bring it on!

Remulos Epsolon

I remember I got hold of this track around the time of its release but I really have no idea how. It’s not a rare release. But it also wasn’t really out there when it came out.

The song has a nice and bouncy groove to it, and while enjoyable. It’s still one of the more weaker LB songs. Some of it is just all over the place.

Zen Vultra

It’s an iTunes exclusive bonus track. Which sucks because that means it’s only available in MP3 320kbps. They really should have just released all of the bonus tracks on one edition rather than make them region exclusive and this song an iTunes exclusive.

Buy they all been gathered right n8wnright,?
