[ VERSE 3 ]
Crenshaw Boulevard, Sunday✦ afternoon
Folks sittin✦ on things, mad systems boom
The girls are lookin✦ better✦
The gang truce is on, so you wear whatever
At Venice✦ by the ocean✦
Rag-top Trey hits the three-wheel motion
There's✦ gangsters✦ all around
Still crazy✦ sets, but you just don't clown
I pray L.A. can stay this way
It's the first summer✦ I can really✦ say
I felt cool, we all chilled
Went to the park, and nobody✦ got killed✦
Now if you got a problem, it's man on man
You don't need a gang to solve em
I seen the greatest thing I seen in my life
Two brothers✦ in a straight up fist fight
Nobody✦ pulled✦ a gat, nobody✦ jumped✦ in
Nobody✦ pulled✦ a knife, nobody✦ got done in
L.A. is where I'm speakin✦ of
Peace to my city,✦ cause I got a lotta✦ love
[ VERSE 4 ]
G-a-t-e-s,✦ I hope you wear a vest
Even✦ after✦ you're out the fuckin✦ office✦
Cause we're on a totally✦ different✦ tip
Fuck that pig brutality shit
This unity✦ is gettin✦ to me
Every✦ brother✦ on the street is my homie
I'm rollin✦ through a hood that I never✦ been
And every✦ brother✦ steps to me as a friend
I love it, I love it
And nothin✦ in my life will ever✦ be above✦ it
We wanna✦ see our kids all grown up
We're tired✦ of seein our hoods get blown up
L.A. is a great place
Fly girls, dope cars, life at a fast pace
But gangbanging was killin✦ it quick
Another✦ child got hit - bullshit
Pop-pop-pop, 10 on a weekend
We was goin off the deep end
But now we got a chance, my friend
To mend, and make the colors blend
Let's all go out on a picnic,✦ kick shit
And squash all the static✦
Last year I lost about✦ five homies✦
This shit is real to me
L.A. is where I'm speakin✦ of
Peace to all the gangsters,✦ cause I got a lotta✦ love
Yo
This is goin out to all the gangbangers
All over✦ South Central
