G-Eazy - Summer In December lyrics

[Intro] Uh, yeah I just told myself, uh Yeah, uh, yeah [Chorus] Welcome to LA The land of opportunity where everybody stay The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away The land of opportunity where everybody stay [Verse 1] Yeah, and move out to this town where dreams, ambitions, and get lost in the party Takes a toll on you, man, this sh** will charge a large fee Just don't forget who you are, G Staring at the man in the mirror, like I recognize him hardly Brought my sins away and twist some parsley Stop and chill, these days I do it sparsely In another universe I coulda' had a stroller and a car seat, but- And tell me things not happen how they supposed to But somehow it seems I hurt all the people I get close to Experience a breakdown some 27 goes through 'Cause you don't want to see heaven, yeah, where Janis Joplin knows you On phone calls with Mama like she tryin' to give me a earfull She said "This is the town that happens in so just be careful Been tryin' to keep your head straight And dead-off all that bullsh**, that's just dead weight" Yeah [Chorus] Welcome to LA The land of opportunity where everybody stay The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away The land of opportunity where everybody stay [Verse 2] The whole world's outside knocking at my door like "Gerald, where the f** that album at?" But I ain't home, I'm on the road, the stage is where they found me at So my personal interest, take a backseat to the business But I balance like a gymnast, like Simone in the Olympics So please pardon my tardiness, I'm tryin' to put my heart in this Give this sh** my everything, every time when I start with this Hungry for the world, I swear I starve for this Yeah, artists come and go these days it's easy, they're not hard to miss Here today, gone tomorrow, they fade into a dark abyss Hollywood sunk to a dream, like how the f** you fall for this? Have to know yourself or you just really gon' get lost in this, sauce I really paid the cost to be a boss I paid in cash and skipped the tax, ain't asked for no receipt When I get stressed I play the beat and split a Swisher Sweet Damn [Chorus] Welcome to LA The land of opportunity where everybody stay The girls are pretty, some will shine 360 days But I don't always feel that way, today I need some gray Yeah, uh, please protect my soul before they weather it away The land of opportunity, yeah, uh
