LA Story
Mike Posner Lyrics

I'm waking up on Sunset Boulevard
Starting my day in a luxurious and vibrant part of Los Angeles

Maxing out all my credit cards
Spending a lot of money recklessly without worrying about my financial situation

Living my own LA story
Experiencing the unique lifestyle that Los Angeles offers

Living it up 'til the morning
Enjoying every moment of my time in Los Angeles and staying out all night

Sammy, I'm not trying to show you love and affection
I'm not looking for romance or emotional commitment

I'm trying to live the life a kid always expected
I'm living the glamorous life that I always dreamed of as a child

Over on Sunset, finished a couple sessions
Just completed some work or creative sessions in the Sunset area

One foot in the door, one in the hills, questions
Uncertain about where I stand in the entertainment industry, with one foot in beginner projects and the other in more established scenes

Angels in leather, I ain't talking 'bout the motor club
Referring to attractive women dressed in leather clothing, not members of a motorcycle club

But I tend to go hella hard when I go to clubs
I enjoy partying and indulging in excess when I go to nightclubs

Minibar murder, I'm on Denzel's flight
Drinking and taking items from the mini-fridge in my hotel room, while referencing actor Denzel Washington's luxurious lifestyle

With a stewardess that wants to fuck the whole damn night
A flight attendant who is interested in having sex with me for the entire night

Who cares what they all say
Ignoring any negative comments or criticisms from others

Try'na find some girls like Hov' did with Beyonce
Trying to find a romantic partner like rapper Jay-Z found with his wife Beyonce

Had you for a week but I heard you say fiance
Was interested in someone but found out they were already engaged

I fell in love, the streets got a glow
Feeling captivated and inspired by the energy and vibrancy of the city

The city of angels is calling me home
Feeling a deep connection to the city of Los Angeles and considering it my true home

We'll be taking shots under the stars
Drinking alcohol while admiring the stars in the clear LA skies

Living off of hotel minibars
Eating and drinking items from the small refrigerators in hotel rooms

Everybody's a model or a wannabe
Referring to the high number of aspiring models and actors in LA

If you're that bad it's in Paris where you ought'a be
If someone is not succeeding in LA, they should try their luck in Paris

She's an actress, working on the late shift
Referring to a woman who is working late as a waitress while pursuing her dreams of becoming an actress

Only longs for a big break as a waitress
Wants her acting career to take off but has to work in a restaurant in the meantime

Walk the strip, see the fashion getting wacky now
Taking a walk down a busy boulevard and noticing various unique and unusual clothing styles

Out the door, passing out
Leaving a location and becoming unconscious from excessive drinking or drug use

Hit the floor, Pacquiao
Falling down, potentially from drunkenness, and referencing boxer Manny Pacquiao

Credit card at the bar never closing out
Leaving a credit card open at a bar without closing out the tab

But the weather's so nice, nobody slowing down
The enjoyable weather in LA is keeping everyone energetic and active

Well except for the 101
The only thing slowing down people's moods or energy is the heavy traffic on the 101 highway

Gotta SUV stuck in traffic with a ton of buds
Riding in a large SUV that is experiencing heavy traffic, but with many friends keeping me company

I can promise you tonight's gon' be a ton of fun
Guaranteeing that tonight will be filled with excitement and enjoyment

Upper Edge Cafe like Vinny Chase
Reference to a cafe in the TV show Entourage, where the main character Vinny Chase frequents

She got a big booty, itty bitty skinny waist
Describing a woman's attractive physical features

Henny straight, everyday summer
Drinking straight Hennessey alcohol, all summer long

Never on the sheets like you’re on top of the cover
Not having sex in bed but instead, engaging in it elsewhere

Every day when I’m away look at the toe so
Taking time to observe and admire the views of LA, especially when traveling away from it

Look at the cops, don't even care, you can just blow smoke
Not worrying about police or legal consequences when smoking marijuana

I'm Robin Hood on the beat
Feeling like a heroic figure, sharing my musical talents and success with others in need

I get paid in LA and give it back to the D
Earning money in LA but using it to help out and support my hometown of Detroit

We living it up
Enjoying a very exciting and luxurious lifestyle in Los Angeles
