Los AngeleLies, spread real wide
Like a spiderweb for a billion flies
There are so many people and so little place under the sun
I dedicate it to those who live in the slum

Those who live in the slum you bet I talk about brown people/
The brown pride & South American ego/
Take a walk down Alvarado by McArthur park/
Latino people are up at the dawn – concrete larks, you’ll see/
They’re on the corners hustling DVD’s/
Selling orange juice in the streets, getting money by any means/
In these days of unemployment and mass fear/
When the US is a hostile atmosphere/
In LA where everybody rocks [bad word] the Beverly flavor to the Skid Row stink, huh/
The advertisement is bilingual/
Got to deal with the numbers even if they are illegal/
The ratio is 8 to 1, I hate the slum/
Where one is forced to live on the top of another one/
My taco was made in the street, I really care/
The government don’t want millions of poor to be millionaires/

Los AngeleLies, spread real wide
Like a spiderweb for a billion flies
There are so many people and so little place under the sun
I dedicate it to those who live in the slum

Those who live in the slum, I’m living in one/
My talk is sharp, I keep a razor under my tongue/
Under the gun of the system, I’m the nemesis
They want me dying and they 'bout to give me an assist/
...They want me to rap about Cristal, rides & [bad word] 
I rap about people on crystal meth/
They want my mouth to be shut/
I’m like Big in LA, ready to die 'bout to be shot/
I made it to the city, the life is harsh/
I do not know the name of mayor he is not the one in charge/
I met cops they told me to put my hands up/
Said it’s for my own safety to wear handcuffs/
I wasn’t doing anything they had nothing on me/
They let me go but they took away my homie/
Because he was black, he had had a case on him/
This is LA, g, [bad word] to California
