G-Eazy - Summer In December lyrics

Uh, yeah i just told myself, uh
Yeah, uh, yeah

Welcome to LA
The land of opportunity where everybody stay
The girls are pretty
The sun will shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way
Today I need some gray yeah, uh
Please protect my soul before
They weather it away
The land of opportunity where everybody stay

Yeah they move out to this
Town with dreams, ambitions
And get lost in the party
Takes a toll on you, man
This shit will charge a large fee
Just don't forget who you are, G
Staring at the man in the mirror
Like I recognize him hardly
Burn my sins away and twist some parsley
Stop and chill, these days I do it sparsely
In another universe I coulda' had a
Stroller and a car seat, word
They tell me things will happen
How they supposed to
But somehow it seems I hurt all
The people I get close to
Experiencing breakdowns a 27 goes through
'Cause you don't want to see heaven yet
Where Janis Joplin knows you
On phone calls with Mama like she
Tryin' to give me a earful
She said "This is the town that
Happens in so just be careful
Been tryin' to keep your head straight
And dead-off all that bullshit
That's just dead weight" yeah

Welcome to LA
The land of opportunity where everybody stay
The girls are pretty
The sun will shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way
Today I need some gray yeah, uh
Please protect my soul before
They weather it away
The land of opportunity where everybody stay

The whole world's outside knocking at
My door like "Gerald
Where the fuck that album at?"
But I ain't home, I'm on the road
The stage is where they found me at
So my personal interests take a
Backseat to the business
But I balance like a gymnast
Like Simone in the Olympics
So please pardon my tardiness
I'm tryin' to put my heart in this
Give this shit my everything
Every time when I start with this
Hungry for the world
That's why I starve for this
Yeah, artists come and go
These days it's easy
They're not hard to miss
Here today, gone tomorrow
They fade into a dark abyss
Hollywood sold you a dream
Like how the fuck you fall for this?
Have to know yourself or you just
Really gon' get lost in this, sauce
I really paid the cost to be a boss
I paid in cash and skipped the tax
Ain't asked for no receipt
When I get stressed I play the
Beat and split a Swisher Sweet
Damn, yeah, uh

Welcome to LA
The land of opportunity where everybody stay
The girls are pretty
The sun will shine 360 days
But I don't always feel that way
Today I need some gray yeah, uh
Please protect my soul before
They weather it away
The land of opportunity, yeah, uh
