Lyrics
Los Angeles take your dreams away
Los Angeles takes away your dreams
Run you underground ground
Forces you into an underground existence
At the end of the day it's your life you've lost
At the end of the day, the consequence is losing your life
And you can't get the clock around
Unable to turn back time
I said Oh my God, you can have them
Expression of surrendering dreams
You better not miss your shot
Warning not to miss opportunities
You're letting yourself get into all kinds of danger
Getting involved in dangerous situations
Soon enough you're gonna get caught
Consequence of getting caught in the dangers
They had a feeling
Sense of having to prove uniqueness
Was like you had to prove you're one in a million
Comparing the feeling to being one in a million
And I'm talking bout junkies been dealing
Reference to drug dealers
This time the drugs are you
The drugs themselves become the problem
And they'll come through
Assurance that the drug-related issues persist
It ain't gonna stop 'til they get what they want
Intensity and determination to fulfill desires at any cost
And I say
Expression of the following thoughts
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Feeling of isolation and being unknown
Ah yaya' I gotta go
Expressing a need to leave or escape
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Reference to the end of a party or celebration in Hollywood
Ah yaya' I gotta go
Reiterating the need to leave or escape
John ? and his homeboy Dante,waited for a ride
Introduction of characters waiting for a ride
They when in ? follow them
Unclear action, possibly someone following them
Hollywood Compton Backslide
Mention of locations, possibly related to struggles
With affordable lodging in a subroof,
Describing a place with affordable lodging in a bad condition
Nestled among the filth
Describing the environment as dirty
Frequencies and bad intentions,
Referring to negative energy and intentions
Gotta take orders worth I said
Following orders despite the challenges
Have you ever been haunted by your past
Reflecting on being haunted by one's past
And it will never let you go?
Emphasizing the persistence of past haunting
Will never ever ever let you go?
Reiteration that the past won't let go
No! I said
Confirmation that the past won't let go
Will never ever ever let you go?
Repeating the idea that the past is inescapable
And I say
Expression of following thoughts
Nobody knows me, I'm all alone
Reiteration of feeling isolated and unknown
Ah yaya' I gotta go
Repeating the need to leave or escape
It's a Hollywood bus stop and the party's over
Reference to the end of a party or celebration in Hollywood
Ah yaya' I gotta go
Final emphasis on the need to leave or escape
