about

Talking about a phase in life here in LA when it wasn't easy.

lyrics

2.5-Rah
( 1 bar no vocal )
3.5-One Time in LA,
( 1 bar n vocal )
1-One summertime I was a thief heavy deep in action,
Robberies on anything in front of me what happen,
No vehicle, so here we go in LA catch the Metro,
With pockets low, I must bustle let my story blow,
1-Counterfeit the Metro pass, hopes I'm not detected,
Visualize me in the city penny pinching flexing,
Wrestle with the properties of Constitution weapon,
18th-century law got 21st-century stressing,
1-Food stamps are a blessing as I gaze across the table-
Know that laziness will kill, get that ass up will enable,
Man no speak no fable talking living in America-
So scared of this weather with no cheddar feels like forever,
1-A toast goes out to all those heavy grinding in the city,
Adjusting completely spur of moment the strategy,
Man I'm still working for the day my records in rotation,
A kid wrote rhymes, through storyline mic creation,
1-Hopes for goodness sake today there be no purse no snatching,
Pray to God, in everyday, this action never happen,
You should know, I'm good to go another day thus passes,
Living in moment keeps the past from flashing back and-
1-It's scary when the mind frame is truly on the come up,
Living in the city Good and Plenty monies not enough,
I'm from the country folks, we don't have no one connecting us-
To this industry, that's still a dream as times a testing,
***3.5-One Time-
In LA...,
One Time-
In LA...,
One Time-
In LA,
One Time in LA***
4.5-When winter time comes to the city best believes him,
Feels like a scavenger material things collecting them,
No vehicle, so muscles cold sitting at the bus stop,
My strategy's from nothing into something I rock-
1-Fire to the Constitution instructions on living,
Tax records show who's defeated or who's winning-
These will identity you shiny bright the light you driven,
One human giving thanks today steady life living,
1-Food stamps shows the lesson know the beast is real no fable-
Ideology to suffocate those, that will enable,
I wish I had some cable, talking living in America-
Instead my TV shows P.B.S. for ever,
1-Shouts out to all my hustlers in these jungle,
Never made for TV the real dirty city rumble,
No need to flex a muscle in this tungle, oh you good to go-
Your back will bend and bustle, as you claim you own bungalow,
1-Hopes for goodness sake today there be no case I'm catching,
Working hard, on planet Earth, wills the law from laughing,
You should know, you see me flow, right now police not having me-
In general population serving time just kicking back,
1-Instead, I make moves, inspirations for the one time-
The food line, the sweat grind, this man is so thankful,
I'm from a time and place where most people share this tragedy,
Respects to those whose making it through hustle recipe,
***3.5-One Time-
In LA...,
One Time-
In LA...,
One Time-
In LA,
One Time in LA***
