LA Noire Review Lyrics
[VIDEO EXPLANATION]
[Hook: NuyoRiquena]
Los Angeles city of dreams
But nothing is what it seems
[Verse 1: Jerome Chance]
The first time I ever set foot in this city
Got a taste of its nature, hardboiled and gritty
A gate to the stars where you can touch angels
Or get dragged to hell and watch your dreams dangle
Ain't Liberty City nor San Andreas
Where the quantity of 487s would jade us
Like a movie casting LA is made up
Of HEROES on the FRINGE and raving MAD MEN
Criminals hated us cuz were straight laces
In this world LAPD is the greatest
Before joining crews dressed in red and blue hues
Gangsters had suits and wore wingtip shoes
The city scenery brought real to dreamery
Our cases results of historical thievery
We didn't engage in random acts of violence
Unless necessary the gat was on silence
[Hook: NuyoRiquena]
Los Angeles city of dreams
But nothing is what it seems
[Verse 1: Jerome Chance]
The first time I ever set foot in this city
Got a taste of its nature, hardboiled and gritty
A gate to the stars where you can touch angels
Or get dragged to hell and watch your dreams dangle
Ain't Liberty City nor San Andreas
Where the quantity of 487s would jade us
Like a movie casting LA is made up
Of HEROES on the FRINGE and raving MAD MEN
Criminals hated us cuz were straight laces
In this world LAPD is the greatest
Before joining crews dressed in red and blue hues
Gangsters had suits and wore wingtip shoes
The city scenery brought real to dreamery
Our cases results of historical thievery
We didn't engage in random acts of violence
Unless necessary the gat was on silence
[Bridge: NuyoRiquena]
Los Angeles City of Dreams
In Los Angeles No one Sleeps
There are no boundaries the opportunities never cease
The Darkness takes control
And slowly eats your soul
Los Angeles the city of dreams
But nothing is what it seems
[Verse 2: Jerome Chance]
We booked hookers, thieves and dope fiends its
Before ROCK, STARS used morphine intravenous
Things have changed since the way we gathered hints
Leaving fingerprints and tampering with evidence
Our form of lie detection Was the look upon their face and
We got our information for confessionsThrough intense interrogations
No we weren't waiting for summation of narration
Performances on par with Great Expectations
And if they kept on bitchin We just used our intuition
On the object of suspicion And brought justice to fruition
If you're like Phoenix Wright You made your case without a fight
But we had to put our dukes up if the suspect didn't bite
Or I had to chase them while my partner sat and watched me
I could Just Do It better if I had on some Huraches
No matter who you are or what you got on your feet
LA Noire is more solid than shoes of concrete
Los Angeles City of Dreams
In Los Angeles No one Sleeps
There are no boundaries the opportunities never cease
The Darkness takes control
And slowly eats your soul
Los Angeles the city of dreams
But nothing is what it seems
[Verse 2: Jerome Chance]
We booked hookers, thieves and dope fiends its
Before ROCK, STARS used morphine intravenous
Things have changed since the way we gathered hints
Leaving fingerprints and tampering with evidence
Our form of lie detection Was the look upon their face and
We got our information for confessionsThrough intense interrogations
No we weren't waiting for summation of narration
Performances on par with Great Expectations
And if they kept on bitchin We just used our intuition
On the object of suspicion And brought justice to fruition
If you're like Phoenix Wright You made your case without a fight
But we had to put our dukes up if the suspect didn't bite
Or I had to chase them while my partner sat and watched me
I could Just Do It better if I had on some Huraches
No matter who you are or what you got on your feet
LA Noire is more solid than shoes of concrete
