Los Angeles Times Lyrics


At this time, please extinguish all smoking materials
Return all seat backs and tray tables
To their most upright and long position
Also at this time please take care to fasten your seatbelt
Enjoy your stay, welcome to L.A.
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
MC's get fucked up, chopped like Braveheart
Don't start what you can't finish, serious bidness

Down La Seneca to bust a left on Venice
Where you can find me and mines, Los Angeles Times
Welcome to L.A.
Where every other day I'm taking the hat off my head
Givin' respect to the dead and avoid havin' the same thing
Said about me, Xzibit stand underground
Like the roots of a tree, watered three times a day
Forty ounce Olde E, like a magnifying glass
Making it easier to see, the Mister X to the Z
Don't peak, L.A., why test without vest-es
Stop lead projectile, Apocalypse Now
Love Allah not new car, faggot, superstar
Type of cat, fuck that, mash away
In a diamond-white Concourse 'Llac
Still black so the one-time react as if under attack
Ain't nothin' changed but district range, feel no pain
Mr. Big Bad Insane Black John McClane
With liquor on the brain, down to earth like dirt
From the city where niggaz known for puttin' in work
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
Welcome to L.A.
If hand determine dick size, I'm palmin' the earth
Select turf, then plant bad seed and give birth
And make the hard work look easy fuh sheezee
Leavin' you and your best man, stiffer than mannequins
Enough to break the skin on a Vietnam leatherneck
Marine drill sargeant, you nothin' but a target
(Pow)
Charge it to the game, gotta look beyond the brand name
Comin' from the guts like I slammed down twenty cups
Of Hennesey straight, relate feel my hate
Xzibit flippin' through these bitches like DJ trait
Translate to left field, only real niggaz follow
Bitches suck and swallow, I'm livin' life behind the bottle
Never the role model, still shinin' like a new automobile
Flow six-fo', you can't steal
'Cause I got a kill switch with a itch for the action
While other rappers use mass weapons of destruction
To sell they shit
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
El ve-te-rano, you can only pray to learn what I know
Ride slow across the horizon a lone desperado
Comin' through the door bringin' nothin' but hits
Sometimes I feel like a matador, lookin' at this bullshit
Niggaz pull rent from the crack of they ass
Maintain do your thang this too shall pass
I season beef with lead pieces then cook it with gas
I'm from the school of hard knocks way ahead in the class
Xzibit hard to get through, like bulletproof glass
Break it down like Johnny Cochran then mix it with hash
Your defense can't last against advanced prosecution
Hit the airwaves like pollution, hey, here's a solution
Take a trip to Washington then burn the Constitution
Top government officials locked down for prostitution
Recruitin' the hard rocks mean streets keep producin'
The world is a riot shit is mine for the lootin'
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
Everyone's got to make a living
Everyone's got to make a living
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Welcome to L.A.
Where you can see the whole city burning
'Cause the cops got uzis and the dealers keep serving
And your kids ain't learning shit, except this
Sex power and wealth, fuck everything else
Trying to survive, Los Angeles Times
Enjoy your stay, welcome to L.A.

Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (born September 18, 1974 in Detroit, Michigan), better known by his stage name Xzibit, is an American rapper, actor, and host of MTV's Pimp My Ride. He began his music career as a member of the Likwit Crew, a loose collective of West Coast rappers including King Tee, Defari, and Tha Alkaholiks. He released his solo debut album 'At The Speed Of Life' in 1996 and has since released 5 more albums, his latest being Full Circle, released in 2006. His new album Napalm is expected to be released sometime in 2012.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Joiner moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his father when he was ten years old (his mother had passed away when he was nine years old). Around this time, as he did not have any entertainment, he began writing poems. Around the age of 13, he started getting into trouble with the local police. By the time he was 14, he served a short stint in juvenile detention. Finally around 17 years old he had been expelled from several Albuquerque high schools for allegedly raping his guidance counselers. At that point, he moved with $3,000 to Los Angeles, California in his purple and black Geo Tracker to pursue his dream.

Xzibit got his start as a member of the Likwit Crew a loose collective of West Coast rappers including Tha Alkaholiks and King T. After touring with them in 1995, Loud Records released the feisty young rapper's debut album, At The Speed Of Life (1996). The album, produced by DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and Diamond D, became an underground hit. When Xzibit released his follow-up, 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz (1998), he was again heralded as one of the West Coast's most promising talents.

He expanded his following with a series of increasingly superstar-laced albums beginning in the late 1990s, ultimately aligning himself with hip hop kingpin Dr. Dre. Xzibit's big breakthrough came when he joined Snoop Dogg for the Dr. Dre-produced hit, "Bitch Please". What followed were some high profile guest appearances on Dr. Dre's multi-platinum Chronic 2001, on songs like "What's the difference?" and the posse song "Some L.A. Niggaz". By this time, Dre had invited the young rapper to crisscross America during summer 2000 with the massive "Up in Smoke" tour, which featured Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Ice Cube, among many others. That winter, Loud released Xzibit's biggest-budget album yet, Restless with Dr. Dre as executive producer, which boasted the single "X". The song became the rapper's biggest hit yet, and though it did not top the charts or break him into heavy rotation on either urban radio or MTV, the album went platinum.

Two years later, Xzibit returned with another big-budget superstar-laced album, Man Vs. Machine, yet again he fell a bit short of mainstream success. He continued to collaborate with his closest West Coast colleagues, primarily Ras Kass and Saafir with whom he formed The Golden State Project rap collective [1], and tha Liks, along with bigger names like Snoop Doggand Eminem. His allegiance to the West Coast and former colleagues continued to win him much respect from his fans, who remained dedicated if not massive in number. Weapons of Mass Destruction followed two years later.

Xzibit will be promoting his 6th solo album, Full Circle, released in October 2006.

To kick off the Back II Basics tour Xzibit will take part in the Gumball 3000 Rally - a 5000km (3000mile) car rally that winds its way throughout Europe.

The rapper has found a broader audience since landing his role on MTV's "Pimp My Ride," which films custom auto makeovers awarded to random winners. He recently recorded an episode of Pimp My Ride with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on an Earth Day special to promote the importance of global warming.
