City of Angels

They don't know the hunger They don't know the lies They don't know the times they Don't know the wise All they knew is how to hate our lives Rampart kids trying to stay alive Immigrant parents trying to make it right But everywhere I went they just made us fight I swear I never thought I would see the light I swear I never thought I would board a flight Try to make it out of Belmont high The only way out if you learn to fly The only way out if you avoid to die It wasn't the gang's it was also the cops Like f*ck have you been to McArthur park Have you seen the water way before the part They cleaned it out and the concerts start It was a hooker and a needle hanging with a narc This my city City of angels No Hollywood Give the city no label This my city City of angels No Hollywood Give the city no label I've seen it all dreamt it all Reached for the stars hit a massive fall I got back up and I made it happen Opened a business claimed my passion Now Let's see who the f*ck is laughin Now let's see who the f*ck is cappin I just need a hedge fund and this fucking rapping Tried with belly and it didn't work The XO crew was family first I sent production and no response Even came out with no guitar Had to start over and mow the lawn The grass was higher as the snakes desire I was getting tired lit the snakes on fire I felt Kanye on through the wire I hit rock bottom through the magnifier This my city City of angels No Hollywood Give the city no label This my city City of angels No Hollywood Give the city no label
