Los Angeles kid came to it
Burn it into the ground
At the end of the day
You got to live your loss
Because you can't turn the clock around
I said oh my god you can have this allowance
But you better not miss this shot
You let yourself get in all kinds of danger
Soon enough you're gonna get caught
But then i had a feelin
It was like you and your crew were one in a million
That are dealin
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
And they ain't gonna stop
Till they get what they want
And i said nobody
That are dealin
This time the drugs are you
And they'll come through
And they ain't gonna stop
Till they get what they want
And i said nobody knows me
Im all alone
I i i got to go
It's a hollywood bus stop
And the parties over
I i i got to go
knows me
Im all alone
I i i got to go
It's a hollywood bust stop
And the party's over
I i i got to go
Johnnie slidin over BR Dante waitin for a ride
They're waitin to confide in hollywood
Contemplate backslide
With affordable lodging and a sun roof
Neslted amoung the filth
Frequencies and bad intentions
Gotta take it for what it's worth i say
But then i had a feelin
It was like you and your crew were one in a million
And i'm talkin to junkies Have you ever been hunted by yourpast
And it will never let you go
It'll never ever ever let you go
No i say it'll never ever ever let you go
