Golden State of Mind
In L-A
Welcome to the jungle of big dreams
Bright lights and movie screens
Now you're in L-A
These streets will make you feel famous
These hills are where fame lives
Let's hear it for L-A

Now we're up in Hollywood, right down in the grime and
Superstars been walkin on these streets for all time and
Yeah I'm gonna make it here, cause this ain't just anywhere see
This place is everywhere that anywhere wants to be

Now I'm off La Brea, right across from MyHouse
I can feel the bass bangin all the way from my house
Take me back to Playhouse, where all the models are
Where bottle service cost more than a case of bottles are

Take me back to Key Club, don't forget the words though
Smokin dope right behind the club before my first show
Now we're cruisin Melrose, blowin all the smoke out
Babies in the bathroom always blowin all the blow out
Celebrities and murders, In'N'Out burgers
Skinny jeans, v-neck T's, high tops and jerkers
Now you're in the big city, bright lights, big names
It's the Golden State, we celebrate L-A

CHORUS

Now we on to Sunset Boulevard
Packed and its fulla cars, wannabe movie stars
Tryna get into the bars, lines round the corna
No neck bouncer actin like he don't know ya

Got his little list out, posers got they fists out
Full of dolla bills but they still gon miss out
Cause ya can't buy in, don't matter what you drivin
Don't matter who you say you know already inside, and

Cue the papparazzi, bright lights flashin
Only city where sunglasses always in fashion
West-Ho, Bardot, Chateau, No-Ho
Crazy girls walk around in barely no clothes

Always pool parties, rock hard bodies
Always spot a douchebag by his Ed Hardy
It's the home of 2Pac, it's the home of Dr. Dre
EZ, Kobe, Cube, Snoop all represent L-A
CHORUS

Bums sleep on sidewalks, next to Rolls Royces
People step right over actin like they don't notice
Bluetooth cell phones, high powered lunches
Movie deals sealed over Ivy brunches

Far from the freeways, 101 Southbound
405, 5 North, 110 Downtown
Gridlocked traffic, brushfire starting
Even Starbucks got valet parking

Drug dealers name drop, rappers try to label up
Labels usin demo tapes to prop they crooked tables up
Red carpet spotlights, entertainment millions
Read all about that shit on Perez Hilton

Home of Mr. Nicholson, floor seats Lakers
You can see yourself on TMZ later
Long live AM, long live MJ
I am and always will be from L-A

CHORUS
