(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 Trying to

Don't blame it on me So blame it on the night Blame it on the night Can't be sleepin' Keep on wakin' Is that the woman next to me? Guilt is burning Inside I'm hurting This ain't a feeling I can't keep

In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly With a hope burning out deep inside I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt I'm alone and there is no one by my side I see a shadow passing by

For the good times Don't look so sad I know it's over But life goes on and this world keeps on turning, yeah Let's just be glad, we have this time to spend together There is no need to watch the bridges that were burning Lay your head on my pillow hold

Oh mama, oh la, oh la, oh la Don't know what this is All of these new emotions I let them out in the open What do I do now, do now, do now? Do with all of this? Oh, what do I do now? Somebody pass me the water 'Cause I'm burning

We don't run I'm standing my ground And we don't back down Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in (run) We don't run, we don't run I'm not afraid of burning bridges 'Cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a Phoenix, from the ashes Welcome to

Under the burning sun I take a look around Imagine if this all came down Everybody run now, everybody run now Break into another time Everybody run now, everybody run I'm waiting for the day to come The enemy arrives Escape into the night

We were born, we were born to get wild I'm up in this bitch to get wild Turn up the sound And play it loud so that everyone who comes around 'Cause we getting crazy Burning down the town We burn it down so that everyone comes around

Overwhelming power Keep on burning, change There's a river of time Let us worship this god of destruction On nothing we can rely All is gone, belong to the past You should learn by the time Everything changing over and over We're all falling so fast Keep

Now I feel the passion burning My results will push me further From the strength that Never has the blood in my veins Flown so fiercely as when I feel this around me And I'm not alone
