Intro - Hello LA

[Intro]

Love is Blu

Love is Blu

Love is Blu

Love is Blu

Here in Los Angeles

[Verse 1: Blu]

Straight outta South Central

Runnin' down the block, age five with the (pop!)

Aimin' at the cops out my window

What you been through?

Yo, I grew up on King Bully in the '80s

With the Raiders and Ronald Reagan

Hollywood Boulevard is my backyard

It's no wonder I became a rap star

I never wanted the fame

Now the hood know my name, I killed the game

And it ain't been the same, so I got a chain

City of angels

[Hook: Georgia Anne Muldrow]

I'm from L.A. 

Straight from the City of Angels

Hello, what can I say?

What can I say?

[Verse 2: Blu]

My name is (Blu!) B to the L-U

I used to boost CDs, clothеs, and stolen shoes (Retail!)

And now thе homies out of school used to tell fools

"That's Blu Steel from the Bridgetown crew"

Wrecking mics, selling weed, rollin' shotty

Made it out the hood, surprised nobody shot me

For the knowledge, the loyal, the true

And like I always tell my blood, "You can be Blu too"

[Hook: Georgia Anne Muldrow]

I'm from L.A. 

Straight from the City of Angels

There's not much more for me to say

Hello, I'm simply from L.A. 

From L.A. 

Straight from the City of Angels

And you better believe it

$20, got a court-side seat at the sports arena

I'm from L.A. 

Straight from the city of angels

Hello, how ya doin'?

I'm proudly from L.A. 

From L.A. 

Straight from the city of angels

'Til the day I'm old and gray

I'm proudly from L.A., yeah

[Verse 3: Blu]

So what you think about my life, ma?

I'm a rap star, without the mansion and the fast car

I never graduated

But I made it pretty far from playing music in the car you always hated

I know I could have been bigger than the hood

Cuba Gooding in Boyz N The Hood

But I was ballin' in a little gym

Across the street from where they filmed Boyz n the Hood

Yo, in the hood then

[Hook: Georgia Anne Muldrow]

I'm from L.A. 

Straight from the City of Angels, ooh

I'm from L.A. 

Straight from the City of Angels, yeah
