_ _ _ Hey!
Come to Los Angeles!
You and your family can have peace and tranquility
and enjoy a fine day in the_ _ _
_ _ [A#m] _ [A] Hello, my name is Elaine,
and I'll be your tour guide [C] through South Central Los Angeles.
Try to [C#] survive in South Central,
a place where bossing the cap was fundamental.
No, you can't find this shit in a handbook.
[G] Take a [G#m] close look at a [C#] rap book.
Rule number one,
get yourself a gun,
a nine [B] in your ass, [C#] and be fine.
Keep it in your glove compartment,
cause jackas, oh, they love to start shit.
Now, if you're white, you can trust the police,
but if you're black, [B] there ain't nothing [C#] but police.
[B] Watch out [C#m] for the kill.
Don't make [G] a false move and keep your [C#] hands on the steering wheel.
And don't get smart.
Answer all questions.
[B] And that's [C#] your first lesson
[B] on staying [C#m] alive.
South [G] Central, yeah,
[D] that's how you survive.
Hi, this is Elaine.
Are you [D#] enjoying your stay in [B] South Central Los [A#] Angeles?
Or has [B] somebody taken your thing?
Have you missed the slide-by?
Make sure you have your hand-porta ready,
because it is extracurricular [D] activity
done by the police.
So you and your family can enjoy this tape.
[B] Over and over again.
[C#] Rule number two,
don't trust nobody,
especially a bitch with a hookah pot.
Cause it ain't nuts but a trap, and females,
and get your jacket,
and your [Bm] wine,
[C#m] and your bed.
Just to [F#] be safe,
[C#] don't wear no blue or red,
cause most niggas get got.
And neither L [C#m].A. Compton nor Watts
is a black human being.
[G] So I'm thinking about a skip [C#] the sighting, man.
And if you're nothing [C#m] but a munt,
make sure [E] that you're in the [C#] poor corner.
But if you need some affection, man,
[Em] make sure the bitch ain't [C#] a section eight,
cause if so, that's a monkey with a hook.
And you won't [B] survive in South Central. _ _
Now you realize it's not [Gm] all [G#m] crap,
not to get.
[D] You realize that it's fucked up,
mean nothing like the [B] shit you saw on TV.
[E] Prom cities and [Bm] prom bitches,
[D#] so I advise you to pack your shit
[B] and get the _ _ fuck out of here.
Fuck off.
You should have had great smoke.
You all gonna say what's up to PJ,
[Bm] Jilly G,
Sir G.
[D] And yo, you, these motherfuckers know what time it is.
So show these motherfuckers what's happening.
Tell these [C#] motherfuckers,
yo, move around and start [D]
sissin'.
_ Goddammit.
[A] [C#] Rule number three,
don't get caught up,
cause niggas [G] aren't doing anything [C#] that's brought up.
And you gotta bite on everything from dope
to stolen merchandise.
Read the terms.
Cause South Central LA is one big term.
Wait for a brother like you to catch the disease.
[B] And start [C#] slinging T's to an undercover with a wrong brother.
And [G#] they'll slither out of town more and [C#] more.
So don't take your life for granted,
cause it's the craziest [B] place [C#] on the planet.
And LA heroes don't fly through the sky,
[G] they live [C#m] behind bars.
[C#] Cause everybody's doing their little turn.
And it's [B] the youngsters putting in [C#] the more work
to be [B] a little [C#] safe.
And do you think the concrete's getting [B] enough?
You're safe, the strong [B] survive.
Shit, the strong even die in South Central.
Yeah, you bitches,
y'all are my dogs,
you trap assholes.
You better watch out
for your subpoenaed brother ass niggas.
[D#] You know what [B] time it is.
South [E] Central, no joke.
[D] You gotta get your cat all [A#] the time.
[B] You gotta be [D] one in ten with nine [Bm] in the foot,
right, man?
You a joke,
you got this like that.
[E] Ain't no joke, [B] you fuck.
I'm gonna send a shout out to each of y'all.
[D] Engineer, put this two [B]-fifths in.
_ _ [G#] _ This is Los Angeles.
