[00:00.78] “Street Science, you’re on the air. What do you feel when you hear a record like Tupac’s new one?”“
[00:05.68] “I love Tupac’s new record”“
[00:06.80] “Right, but don’t you feel like that creates - ahh- tension between East and West?
[00:11.92] I mean, he’s talking about killing people, ‘I had sex with your wife’ - and not in those words.
[00:17.32] But he’s talking about, ‘I wanna see you deceased’…”
[00:31.05] To live and die in L.A., where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
[00:34.42] Us niggas hustle for the cash so it’s hard to knock it
[00:37.52] Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin’
[00:40.15] Worldwide through the hard times, worrying faces
[00:42.95] Shed tears as we bury niggas close to heart
[00:45.75] Who was a friend is now a ghost in the dark
[00:47.94] Cold hearted bout it, nigga got smoked by a fiend
[00:50.63] Trying to floss on him blind to a broken man’s dream
[00:53.39] A hard lesson
[00:54.59] Court cases keep me guessin
[00:56.15] Plea bargain ain’t an option now, so I’m stressin
[00:58.81] Cost me more to be free than a life in the pen
[01:01.66] Making money off of cuss words, writing again
[01:04.29] Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen
[01:06.93] Late night down sunset liking the scene
[01:09.86] What’s the worst they could do to a nigga?
[01:12.03] Got me lost in hell
[01:13.15] To live and die in L.A. on bail
[01:15.31] To Live and Die in L.A., it’s the place to be.
[01:20.97] You’ve got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see.
[01:26.35] To Live and Die in L.A., it’s the place to be.
[01:32.08] You’ve got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see.
[01:38.66] It’s the City of Angels and constant danger
[01:41.17] South Central L.A., can’t get no stranger
[01:43.72] Full of drama like a soap opera, on the curb
[01:46.44] Watching the ghetto bird helicopters, I observe
[01:49.20] So many niggas getting three strikes, tossed in jail
[01:51.91] I swear the pen right across from hell
[01:53.97] I can’t cry cause it’s on now
[01:55.95] I’m just a nigga on his own now
[01:57.93] Living life thug style
[01:59.61] So I can’t smile
[02:00.84] Writing to my peoples when they ask for pictures
[02:03.09] Thinking Cali just fun and bitches
[02:05.75] Better learn about the dress code, B’s and C’s
[02:08.55] All them other niggas copycats, these is G’s
[02:11.23] I love Cali like I love women
[02:13.36] Cause every nigga in LA got a little bit of thug in him
[02:16.83] We might fight amongst each other… but I promise you this:
[02:19.50] We’ll burn this bitch down, get us pissed
[02:21.55] To live and die in LA
[02:21.86] To Live and Die in L.A., it’s the place to be.
[02:27.22] You’ve got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see.
[02:32.81] To Live and Die in L.A., it’s the place to be.
[02:38.25] You’ve got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see.
[02:44.67] Cause would it be L.A. without Mexicans?
[02:47.29] Black love, brown pride and the sets again
[02:49.86] Pete Wilson trying to see us all broke
[02:52.42] I’m on some bullshit out for everything they owe
[02:54.70] Remember K-day?
[02:56.12] Weekends, Crenshaw, MLK?
[02:58.14] Automatics rang free, niggas lost they way
[03:01.04] Gang signs being shown, nigga, love your hood!
[03:03.66] But recognize and it’s all good
[03:05.79] Where the weed at?
[03:07.01] Niggas gettin’ shurrmed out
[03:08.96] Snoop Dogg in this muthafucka permed out
[03:11.35]
[03:14.74] Dogg Pound in the Lex with a ounce to burn
[03:17.60] Got them Watts niggas with me, O.F.T.B
[03:20.22] They got some hash, took the stash, left the rest for me
[03:23.04] Neckbone, Tre, Herron, Big Buntry too
[03:26.12] Big Rock got knocked, but this one’s for you
[03:28.60] I hit the studio and drop a jewel, hoping it pay
[03:31.48] Getting high, watching time fly: to live and die in LA
[03:33.64] To Live and Die in L.A., it’s the place to be.
[03:39.11] You’ve got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see.
[03:44.67] To Live and Die in L.A., it’s the place to be.
[03:50.09] You’ve got to be there to know it, everybody wanna see.
[03:57.23] This go out for 92.3, and 106
[04:01.28] All the radio stations that be bumping my shit

[04:11.96] All the real motherfuckers
[04:14.03] All the stores, the mom and pop spots
