lyrics

West Hollywood boys like me the most
And every L.A comic is so easy to roast
I couldn't marry any honey on this coast
Californ.I.A, it's cool to be here

Things left for dead was the first shit I noticed
Broken tarpaulin swarms city like locus
I bought an apple outside the greyhound station
In downtown Los Angeles, "Welcome to our nation, yo"

It's pretty lucky that heaven sent y'all
Legalized weed to help your mental
State to levitate above a mind so sour
Good deeds lead Skid Row to happy hour

Hollywood is pretty but it smells like lots of piss
Actors & Singers all feel like they are rocking shit
Blow their cash getting wasted in the cool bars
Sideways moonwalk down Sunset Boulevard

Underneath the midday sun I'm lying half awake
Undone laces of my boots collect these mighty rays
Sounds of future happy times are coming from the waves
To cool me down, I know just now exactly what to say

Walking outside of the Chinese Theatre
Superman signing autographs in his leotard
A rapper comes along, slaps a CD on my chest
He want $20 & he tells me he's the best

Right away we gotta pose for a selfie
My camera is my wallet so he sees I gotta 50
I had to say no, I gotta save my money
for the souvenirs that I'm taking back home

He was hella bummed out dawg, but I broke away
Happy to be that tourist that he shood away
Back to collapse on my bunk in the hostel
To paint this anthem with Psychedelic pastels

Honing, owning every rhyme like a diva
Spitting fresh timelines, destiny weaver
New world order will collapse when I finish this track
And you'll love it when I smack it in your lap
