Taken from the C.D, "Escape from L.A"

lyrics

ESCAPE FROM L.A.

I’M trying to escape, from this place where rape
Is nothing more, than headline news on channel four
And on channel five, BLAKs survive
By telling jigaboo jokes, while the pseudo-semites soak
in a trillion dollars they’ve made
off the “tom” blackface parade
And there is no shade, from bloodsuckers out to get paid
At people of color’s expense, and my sistahs are so dense
They give pussy to honkies once convinced
REVOLUTION is a past tense...

I’m trying to flee, this one season city
Where the only thing not fake, is the damn earthquakes
The firestorms the floods, cholos, crips and bloods
Serial killers, dope dealers,computer hackers-n-car jackers

I’m trying to vacate, this state where after eight
Restaurants and stores, purposely close their doors
And people say “If you break it, you buy it”, due to the riots
Plus oil spills, mud slides, police brutality and drive-bys
Freeway jams, credit card scams
water shortages and over priced mortgages
Where super immigration, unnecessary taxation
And poor quality education
all lead to crime wave inflammation
Where due to my style and the O.J. trial
I’m treated like dirt, and can’t rent a car from HERTZ
Nor walk through the neighborhood, of BRENTWOOD
Without being misunderstood
if I happen to speak to a female peckerwood

I must get away, from radio station that play
formatted gangstah rap, that don’t amount to jack
And D.J.’s who are blind, to request lines
While superstars, need bodyguards
Cause streetwalkers, hollywood stalkers
And papparattzi, are like militant newfangled Nazis...

I’ve got to say “adios”, to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
And MAGIC MOUNTAIN’s, contaminated drinking fountains
KNOTTS BERRY FARM’s pseudo Indian -village charm
And Disney land’s high cash demands

All the Beverly hills over-priced meals
the snobby attitudes from those intentionally rude
Hollywood’s glamour ‘n glitz, that’s a bunch of Bullshit
Gold diggers, house Niggah
Lack of consciousness, tagger obnoxiousness
Venice beach bums, bands on assault guns
tourist amusements, paradise delusions
chaos and confusion, all that I’m through wit’
Maybe I'll move somewhere nice and smooth
like SEATTLE, the bay, or even further away
To like FLORIDA, TAHITI or a place with artistic graffiti
Such as NEW YORK, CHICAGO, or AFRICA, hell I don’t know
It matters not today, which place I stay, It's o.k.
As long as i can escape, From this hell hole called...L.A...
