“The LA Song” by People Under The Stairs 

[Intro] 

Yo, alot of people be steppin to us like 

Y’all from San Francisco right? 

Nah G we show alot of love 

But in the state of California from Humboldt to Oceanside ya dig 

But L.A. is where it all happens for the Dub and Thes One 

All you MC’s say L.A. when you on stage 

And when you do spit that hot verse 

We gonna make it happen man 

[Verse One: Double K] 

Who wanna test? 

We lickin’ off shots in the west 

We make believers out the best 

Lay the weak to rest 

In southern California ain’t no place like this 

Have to stuff y’all too and we created this shit 

So don’t be saggin young buck in the presence of this 

Don’t even come from the city and your runnin your lips 

I’m ‘bout to make a call get the news van out 

Explain to trisha toyota on how your crew ran out 

We comin live from the trey two three area code 

Mad clouds of smoke and ain’t no room for snow 

Sucka niggaz with sucka beats 

Stay in the back seat and buckle up for the ride 

I’m chillen with bad guys 

And got time on my side 

Cause this is my city this is where I live 

And if ya bring bad vibes I got something to give 

Hangin out under the sun is an everyday thang 

And gettin crazy in the labs the only way I bang 

Don’t step to me with that mean face 

Buddy I’m all smiles and I’m countin the miles 

Down Crescent Heights boulevard 

Home of the stars 

Get ya pulled out ya car for frontin’ too hard 

Just listen, you ain’t down with the streets my brotha? 

I can forsee in your future ther’es some runnin for cover 

Alot of y’all talk a good game 

But ain’t playin 

I learned about the hood and now feel thats where your stayin 

Fools be givin you the mad dog after the show 

Cause we ain’t feelin them flows 

Or your designer clothes 

Its phony people in L.A. I counted its alot 

And if the hanus catch your a bully there claimin your block 

Just get it right its Crescent Heights all day all night 

The community where I was raised 

Livin my days 

Wishin I could be the mayor i’d deport you fools 

And send you back to squareland cause over here we brew 

Authentic people in the town 

Throw up your dub take a drag 

It’s Double K signin off from the home of the bodybags 

[Verse Two: Thes One] 

Yo about five years after they kill 

Creep up the hipe 

Wrestlee moovahs the sleepers 

Drugdealers rock beepers 

T tops, jerry curls, jelly flip flops for girls 

C.B.’s on the strip and a commercial for world 

All wheels I whistle to my crew up on the block 

The color soundtrack rock the fat burger do box 

My L.A. U.S.C memories are every sticks who filed down clowns 

Claimin the same tricks on this turf 

My roots go deep like turbo Nerf 

And the cops still sweat us 

I roll on all blocks like I’m sellin paletas 

And rock the bells 

Home of the drive-by where they pop the shells 

I eat at Carlos en la Park and not Taco Bell 

And if your not from the city then you should probably bail 

Cause alot of cats are implants 

Claimin our labels something to say and something to prove and 

At the shows with the flows and they think the crowds groovin 

Its like the 405 at 5:30 nobodys movin 

I’m tired of non-recognition losin the mission to proven to cats 

That my soundtracks and L.A. hat 

When newjacks strap New York rap on the block 

With a palm tree it makes me sick 

All you underground producers get off Premier’s dick and just (chill) 

I’m headed back to Pe-dro to sit up on the hill 

Next to the Korean bell eatin bizzy bee 

Watchin waves swell high visibility catalina and sail boats 

Hollywood hip hop soaps and sit-com dreams 

I make morphine for beat fiends 

Support L.A. teens stay trippin with Cal Green 

O.G. Jerry Duffey when I’m on your screen 

I’m friends with neighborhood crack heads 

And I know Ben 

L.A. is the place where I solve my problems 

In it i’ll never fear 

I’ll always stay here 

Cause when I’m in L.A. my family’s there
