LA Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a fog hanging over this city
But the pollution isn't coming from the chemicals
It's all the people tryna look too pretty
But the pollution got em looking identical

[Hook]

L.A. L.A. L.A. L.A
L.A. L.A. L.A. L.A

See I love you
But I hate you
L.A L.A
And I hate that
I love you
L.A L.A

[Verse 2]

There's a quote hanging over my bathroom mirror
It says that I can never falter if I keep you near me
But this house up in the trees doesn't make things clearer
It just make me feel like
Ya'll don't hear me though
[Hook]

[Verse 3]

City of dreams
No deeper than the surface
They come from all around
To stimulate they purpose
Love - chasing after what they think it is
Making love and making art to feed a monster biz

Since when did love become commodity
A CEO's a boss but they never been the boss of me
I say it but I still compete for space odysseys
If someone else is getting rich and famous then I gotta be
Higher than the person sitting next to me
But don't that make me more alone when they look at me

In idolatry
See this dollar tree
You can have it cuz I'm tired of it having me

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
