LHHC Welcome to the west coast 3 From the bay to LA From Sac-town to OC Three times it’s a trilogy Welcome to the west coast 3 I’m going going back back to the bay I don’t stutter when I say… I’m going going back back to the bay Cause that’s where I stay

Dragging death ‘Round the corner Led to the slaughter We all watch in horror The gavel drops The court’s in order Shackled to the reaper A lifetime of torture No one can stop it The walls are closin in Handed down by 12 The verdict is in Life is a death sentence Trapped in the abyss Life is a death sentence No one ever makes it outta this Haunting death The siren rings Judgement day And the pendulum swings An execution The hangman sings “All hail the terror That the reaper brings” No one can stop it The walls are closin in Handed down by 12 The verdict is in I’m doing time time time That I’ll never see again Chained to the reaper I’m paying for my sins I’m doing time time time That I’ll never see again Stuck in purgatory The Palehorse is closing in And they say death comes in 3’s Now the pendulum swings The judge and the jury The hangman all sing Death comes in 3’s Now the pendulum swings … now what you sow you will reap Judgement doesn’t sleep

Whatcha gonna do when your stomach is empty? I’m gonna take mine mother fucker don’t temp me How you gonna live being down in the trenches? This clip don’t jam and it’s got an extension, now listen LIFE TURNS COLD When your past is here to haunt you La muerte riding shotgun While you’re living out your rear view LIFE TURNS COLD Revenge without forgiveness Make peace with your god Yourself and your religion This is Hell on earth Born into a life that’s cursed This is hell on earth Destined to burn Dirty weapons, hollow tips, and trench knives Black hoodie, balaclava, and shaved 9’s Known affiliates so they don’t talk on phones But you can get a couple Nike prints on the door outside your home They’re sitting in a All black regal and it’s right outside your house They got on all black ski masks So you know what they’re about Singing… “Knock knock you better come up out that house, Or we’re coming in to leave your brains up on the couch”

When you Live by the gun You gonna die by one & we only know pain I was Born to die And then Buried alive In a shallow grave When you pray for rain you’ve got to deal with the flood Born in hell so I got fire in my lungs Hungry dogs bite back Close your eyes That’s death around the corner Hungry dogs bite back Open your eyes this life is torture When you live by the Gun You gonna die by one Learn a lesson from the OG God won’t respond Now the ski masks on I’m the last of a dying breed When you’re in these streets You keep your enemies close Pitbull mentality We go for the throat Live by the Gun you gon die by one 9mm with a 50 round drum I am the pale horse, the one you were warned of Born in the gutter motherfucker that’s where I’m from
5.
No future No hope Behind the wire And got nowhere to go In the fire Breathing in smoke My lungs collapse And I choke Looked to the sky but… My god don’t know my name These prayers are poison My god don’t know my name Set my body ablaze Then bury me in the lake Let me drown The current drags me to hell Let me drown A cold water farewell

Broken windows Spilt liquor Roaches in the sink Lemme paint the picture Broken locks Spilt blood Call 911 They ain’t even showing up Call 911 And they ain’t even showing up? Nah not around here Not where we grew up Welcome to the gutter Welcome to the slums Welcome to the concrete Where I come from Stories from the gutter pt 2 Nightmares are coming true Stories from the gutter pt 2 Bring the terror to your living room And I know Everybody won’t make it They’re skin is too thin They can’t take it Their stomach is weak They can’t shake it Saw the gates of hell Been face to face with it Saw the gates of hell? Been face to face with it? Hell yeah saw a bullet with my name in it So tell me where you placed it? Right between my mandibles Just for the taste of it A lotta homicides where I come from A lotta mamas cryin where I come from Ain’t nowhere to hide where I come from It ain’t the type of place you can run from Death smiles With teeth that are rotten I didn’t answer when it rang I knew it was the reaper callin We all die alone But I wont die forgotten live from the gutter Bodies rolled up in carpets Reporting live from the gutter Bodies rolled up in carpets

I got this pain in my stomach From chasing demons that I never confronted Chasing demons just to bring ‘em to justice Broken and rusted And only left me disgusted Now have you ever bet it all Just to realize the game is for sale? Back against the wall As the hammer drives in another nail New money and old pain Chained to the grave & We all die the same Chained to the pain I’ve been living in vain And there’s no escape New money and old pain Askin god to show mercy and he’s laughing Tried run from my pain and outlast it Here’s my soul you can have it That’s one more nail in the casket

Driving 125 in the car and I crashed it I didn’t see the turn then I braked and I panicked Reaching for a lifeline but I couldn’t grasp it Still lookin in the rear view, I can’t get past it Woke up in broken glass and plastic Sirens wail And now they’re shutting down traffic Looked down, blood leaking out of my jacket Looked for an answer and god didn’t have it Sped through life Running red again Through every night As the last light dims How come everything that I touch turns tragic? Pleading with the nurse for morphine lemme have it Asking if I’ve had visitors but I haven’t Cause nothing I ever loved ever lasted And I can feel my heart crashin Hospital bed now it’s feeling like a casket Looked down blood soaking through the mattress Looked for an answer and god didn’t have it damnit Reality comes crashing in Deathbed confession as the last light dims If I die young I don’t need your forgiveness And depression is a sickness I know cause I’ve lived it If I die young Let me bury myself One foot in the grave And I still can’t ask for help

Pain and sorrow The dope is laced with it No tomorrow Pushing diesel past your weight limit Oh god, This can’t be my brother I can’t watch him suffer Broken hands Holdin a shovel Digging for a vein Ripping right through the muscle WAR On the front lines in my mind WITH With only myself to confide THE Violence in the sky GODS At war with the gods Scratching at the roof Of a coffin with your name in it Tried to cross over but your money is no good and you can’t Pay for it Force fed False hope “Peace awaits on the other side of dope” Force fed False hope Blood on the wall was the suicide note At war with the gods I am the alpha the omega The broken key to Heaven The forever Unforgiven I am the pain you cannot shake The loss you couldn’t take And the nightmare that keeps you awake
10.
Bonnie and Clyde, 2005 You showed me your pain And I showed you mine I showed you my scars And you showed me yours You and I against the world I’d split the earth for you Dragging heaven to hell I’d split the earth in two Dragging Heaven to hell Bonnie and Clyde, 2009 Oakland blvd just you and I We had like 50 bucks in our bank account Tired, hungry, and stressing out But it’s still fuck the world until we die Fuck em all Fuck em all It was always you and me from the start Through the light and the dark

And I don’t think I have it in me Lord knows I wanna die And my heart is still empty So maybe this 9 Really kills the monster in me I got it chambered And peace is waiting on me But I don’t know man, what if I regret it? What if this depression genetic? And the same pain came for my son and it possessed him And I wasn’t there to protect him Floating face down Let me sink let me drown Floating face down They say the good die young But moms aren’t supposed to bury their sons They ain’t posed to try and dissect Where the Pain came from or wonder If it’s something they did wrong But My demons callin And I’m finally gonna answer them The Devil at my door I’m finally gonna let him in Been takin these pills since I was a kid And now im too tired to swim Forgive me father For I am sin I’m a reflection of the demons I let in A mirror image of the monsters in my skin I am the wind I am the rain I am the trauma I was born in
