Bambu - Rather Die In L.A. lyrics

This shit is natural to me
It's where I'm from
It's where I live i wear it on my
Heart it's apparent when you see
Me i was raised
Here, I'm from here, I'ma die here lA
LA c'mon

It feel like swine eyes eyeing
From behind when I drive
City lights invite the prey like
The bait on a line
Community face lifted with a duplex
And a coffee shop convicts coming home to a
Supermarket parking lot spray painted names
Just so you know you could get punished with
Hundreds of bullets
If you don't watch where you go
And hospital staff see you as trash in
You ain't in these type clothes
Drive bys to say "hi"
Where bullets shatter your bones
How old don't matter, blood splatter
Guts ageless
And innocent women and children standing
By all they favorites
Makeshift guns make you run
Fast for some shade
But we stand here, chest out, I'll die in LA
It's yelling "vamanos" my gang
Shoot at me on Friday
We coming back late on sábado
Maybe the dirt in the air
Block my grandma prayers
But over here it feel like
My grandma god don't care

Lay me down between the smog in
The dirt of my birth
Los Angeles in my heart
My neighborhood come first
I die in LA, I'd rather die in LA
I'd rather die in LA d-d-die in LA

These tattoos not for fashion
Clothes not for matching
It's to identify where you from
Who you ran with
The block that you stand with
Homie's you throw hands with
The enemies who will nine out of ten
Get blasted a tribute to those passed in
Those who went in trapped in
Boxes like a cage
Animal inside rattling bars
And snatching cars looking for a reason to
Drill your thighs with bullets
To paralyze you how they leaving you

Shotgun to a life
Where grammar school student up at
Pockets of my knife
Let the dice roll over potholes
Watch out for rivals
Trickery where police help a
Young man's survival rate
Screw my face and handcuff me tight
Tell my mom it's my fault
Go 'head and kill me tonight i'd rather
