Dominique: What do you feel when you hear a record like Tupac's new one?

 Man: I love Tupac's new record

 Dominique: Right, but don't you feel like that creates tension between East and West?

 Dominique: He's talking about killing people, I had  with your wife
 and not in those words, but he's talking about I wanna see you deceased.

 Makaveli:

 No doubt
 To live and die in LA
 California - Don't care what you say about Los Angeles
 Still the only place for me it never rains

 To Live and Die in LA
 Where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
 Us niggaz hustle for the cash so it's hard to knock it
 Everybody got they own thang currency chasin'
 World wide through the hard times warrior faces
 Shed tears as we bury niggaz close to heart
 What was a friend now a ghost in the dark
 Cold hearted bout it, [bad word] got smoked by a fiend
 Tryin to floss on him
 Blind to a broken man's dream

 hard lesson--court cases--keep em guessin'
 Plea bargain ain't an option now--so I'm stressin'

 Cost me more to be free than a life in the Pen
 Making money off of cuss words--writin' again
 Learn how to think ahead--so I fight with my pen
 Late night down Sunset like in a sin
 What's the worst they could do to a [bad word] 
 Get me lost in [bad word] -To Live and Die in LA
 On bail--my angel sing...

 [bad word] 

 To Live and Die in LA, it's the place to be
 You've got to be there to know it
 Where everybody wanna see
 To Live and Die in LA, it's the place to be
 You've got to be there to know it
 Everybody wanna see

 It's the cities of angels and constant danger
 South Central LA--can't get no stranger
 Full of drama like a soap opera
 On the curb watching the ghetto bird helicopters
 I observe--so many niggaz
 Gettin 3 strikes--tossed in jail
 Swear the Penn's right across from [bad word] 
 I can't cry--cause it's home now
 I'm just a [bad word] on his own now
 Livin life thug style--so I can't smile
 Writin to my peoples
 When they ask for pictures
 Thinkin Cali just fun and [bad word] 
 (hahaha)
 Better learn about the dress code
 B's and C's--all them other niggaz copycats
 These is G's
 I love Cali like I love woman
 Cause every [bad word] in LA
 Got a little bit of thug in em'

 We might fight among each other
 But I promise you this
 We'll burn this [bad word] down--get us [bad word] 
 To Live and Die in LA

 [bad word] 

 Cause would it be LA with out Mexicans?
 Black love, Brown pride
 and the sets again--Pete Wilson
 Tryin to see us all broke
 I'm on some [bad word] 
 Out for everything they owe
 Remember K day
 Weekends--Crenshaw--MLK
 Automatics rang free niggaz lost they way
 Gang signs being showed
 [bad word] love your hood
 But recognize and it's all good
 Where the weed at--niggaz gettin shermed out
 Snoop Dogg in this [bad word] permed out
 M-O-
 Big Suge in the low low
 Bounce and turn
 Dogg Pound in the Lex
 With an ounce to burn
 Got them Watts niggaz with me OFTB
 They got some hash
 Took a stash
 Left the rest for me
 Neckbone--Dre, Heron, Punchy too
 Big Rock got knocked
 But this one's for you
 I hit the studio and drop a jewel
 Hoping it pay
 Gettin high--watchin time fly
 To Live and Die in LA

 [bad word]

 All the real [bad word] 
 All the stores, the mom & pop spots
