INTRO: 

Dominque: What do you feel when you hear a record like Tupac's new 
one? 

Man: I love Tupac's new record 

Dominque: right, but don't you feel like that creates tension between 
East and West? 

Dominque: He's talking about killing people, I had sex with your wife 
and not in those words, but 
he's talking about I wanna see you deceased. (after each question or 
sentence, a sound affect get's 
louder and louder untill Domique's last words) 

Tupac: 

No dought 
To Live & Die in LA 
California--whatcha saying about Los Angeles 
still the only place for me that never rains in ??? 

To Live and Die in LA 
when everyday we try a fatin' our pockets 
Us niggas' hustle for the cash so it's hard to knock it 
Everybody got their own thang currency chasin' 
World wide thru the hard times worrying faces 
Shed tears as we burry niggas' close to heart 
Oh was a friend now a ghost in the dark 
Cold hearted--my nigga got smoked by a feen 
Trying to floss on em' 
blind to a broken man's dream 

a hard lesson--caught cases--keep who's guessin' 
plea bargain aint an option now--so I'm stessin' 
Cost me more to be free than a life in the penn 
making money off of cuss words--writing again 
Learn how to think ahead--so I fight with my pin 
late night down Sunset like in a scene 
What's the worst they could do to a nigga 
got me lost in hell--To Live and Die in LA 
on bail--my angels sing... 

Chorus: To live and Die in La, it's the place to be 
you've got to be there to know it 
where everybody wanna see 

It's the city of angles and constant danger 
South Central LA--can't get no stranger 
full of drama like a soap opera 
on the curb 
watching the ghetto bird hellocopters 
I observe--so many niggas' 
getting 3 strikes--tossed in jail 
so where's the penn--right across from hell 
I can't cry--cause it's on now 
living life thug style--so I can't smile 
writing to my peoples 
when they ask for pictures 
50 cali thug niggas 
[haha] 
better learn about the dress code 
B's and C's--all them other niggas' copycats 
these is G's 
I love Cali like I love woman 
cause every nigga in LA 
gotta little bit of thug in em' 

We might fight with each other 
but I promise you this 
we will burn this shit down--get us piss 
To Live & Die in LA 

Chorus: To Live & Die in LA, it's the place to be 
[Tupac: Let my angel sing] 
you've got to be there to know it 
where everybody wanna see 

What would be LA with out Mexicans 
Black love--Brown pride 
in the set's again--Pete Wilson 
trying to see us all broke 
remember K day 
weekends--crenshaw--MLK 
automatics rang free cause 
niggas' lost their way 
gang signs being showed 
nigga love your hood 
but reconize and it's all good 
where the weed at--niggas getting shermed out 
Snoop Dogg and his homie's burned out 
M-O-B 
Big Suge in the lo lo 
bounce and turn 
Dogg Pound in the Lex 
with an ounce to burn 
got them watts niggas with me 
they got some hash 
took a stash 
left the rest for me 
Neckbone--Dreray--Ron too 
Big Rock got knocked 
but this one's for you 
I hit the studio and drop a jewel 
open and play 
getting high--watching time fly 
To Live & Die in LA 

Chorus 
Tupac: This goes out for 92.3--all the radio stations 
that be bumping my shit 
This goes out to all the magazines 
that supported me 
All the real mothafuckas' 
all the stores--LA--California
