L.A. river drive


From the time I ride out to the time I'm home
I pray for a safe travel to God while I'm gone

Over-scared, this verse is over seen, overseas is ova here
Classic overachiever, holding glass for nonbelievers
Hold yo pass and we'll call, biggest giants will fall
Lightning bolt yo ear like LT but this ain't football
Mid-city magic inspirates after the rap rate
Wreck the grand Martials, buffet until they stack plates
Sparking martial arts, heavy metal on the podium
Head spinnin' like Caesar, no cardboard or linoleum
Baking history out the freezer, finding future where the seeds are
I wo with Jesus types, and all these lights can cause a seizure
The Downtown Skyline, till the play's shifted
Big brain, these are scriptures, move and make yo motion pictures
Put the night to sleep then I rise and put the mornin' up
Study the Queen, Clafia, California
Drink the holy water, blessed oil, anointed
Sell rap to spit, some would say a circle is pointless

Live from LA river drive
But some are happy enough to know they gettin' by
But some are at the very lowest when they gettin' high
And others try to wake them up and know they ?
When the cold streets are warming up
Put the night to sleep, when I rise and put the mornin' up
Put the night to sleep, when I rise and put the mornin' up

From the time I ride out to the time I'm home
I pray for a safe travel to God when I'm gone
They watch our moves, every step becomes the cinema
Put cameras in the street lights, the city life, I live it up
Only my notable put memories up here for quoting (?)
The rest is over, Gone With The Wind, it's like the cold is glowin'
But fuck it! Depends in motion like my Venice Ocean
Block my city done, switched up but I'm still devoted
I ride the coaping out, my reputation spoke about it
West side we killin' till I'm Paid In Full and bills are folded
Damn, there's nothing new, like this the cuttin' room floor?
Pickin' up the scrap too less and break the rules more
So who's up to being up to something
Used to be a nothing
Used to be confused but ain't no future in yo frontin'
Times is hard as fuck like Batman when the ? struck
I'm talkin' new jack and not a new rap or some artist look
I been different from the coast of the Pacific
The shit is scripted, just directors with the vision, what

Live from LA river drive
But some are happy enough to know they gettin' by
But some are at the very lowest when they gettin' high
And others try to wake them up and know they ?
When the cold streets are warming up
Put the night to sleep, when I rise and put the mornin' up
Put the night to sleep, when I rise and put the mornin' up

From the time I ride out to the time I'm home
I pray for a safe travel to God when I'm gone
Every mornin' that I shit I wake up thankful that I wasn't set up
Blessed with another day so I bow my head and shut up
Cause anything be actin' on the streets
It don't mean I'm out of reach cause I'm rappin' ova beats
Ass big, ass plot, ass pig ass blocks
Disrespect, ass dropping, don't matter if you have props
Enemies I have not so I don't have to deal with this
Able to avoid the drama cause I kept it real with it
Disregard the negative cause all that shit is relative
Said it it is dilated, alchemist, it's edited
Rap blows evidently, it's good to be home
I'm microphone saloon shinin', I'm in the zone
It's all concrete and balm tree(?)
Constantly we heart beat
Everything I started determine how the song be
All around the world with this so you can say you saw me
And if you didn't know, double S got an army like that

Live from LA river drive
But some are happy enough to know they gettin' by
But some are at the very lowest when they gettin' high
And others try to wake them up and know they ?
When the cold streets are warming up
Put the night to sleep, when I rise and put the mornin' up
Put the night to sleep, when I rise and put the mornin' up

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics L.A. RIVER DRIVE of DILATED PEOPLES is also present in the album Directors of photography (2014)
