Uh, yeah I just told myself, uh Uh, yeah, uh, yeah Welcome to LA The land of opportunity where everybody stay The girls are pretty, sun will shine three-hundred-sixty days But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away The land of opportunity where everybody stay Yeah They move out to this town where dreams, ambitions, and get lost in the party Takes a toll on you, man, this shit will charge a large fee Just don't forget who you are, G Staring at the man in the mirror, like I recognize him hardly Burn my sins away and twist some parsley Stop and chill, these days I do it sparsely In another universe I coulda had a stroller and a car seat, word They tell me things will happen how they s'pposed to But somehow it seems I hurt all the people I get close to Experiencing breakdowns at twenty-seven goes through 'Cause you don't want to see heaven yet, where Janis Joplin knows you On phone calls with Mama like she tryin' to give me a earful She said "This is the town that happens in so just be careful And try and keep your head straight And dead-off all that bullshit, that's just dead weight" Yeah Welcome to LA The land of opportunity where everybody stay The girls are pretty, sun will shine three-hundred-sixty days But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away The land of opportunity where everybody stay The whole world's outside knocking at my door like "Gerald, where the fuck that album at?"
