I can show you the Palms, Mirage (yeah)

The Taj Mahal to the strip in M-I-A

(I'd like to dedicate this song right here)

I can show the waterfalls from Spain to Prague

(To my beautiful wife Kim)

To the beach in Saint-Tropez

(Who's been down with me since 1989)

I can show you the world, girl; the world, girl

(Through thick n' thin)

But ain't nothing else like L.A

(We done seen the world together)

I can show you the world girl the world girl

(And I'll love you forever)

But ain't nothing else like L.A

Nothing like L.A


[Verse 1]

When they come to L.A., they got the wrong impression

When they come to L.A., they gotta learn they lesson

When they come to the West Coast, it's such an obsession

When they played out, I'm just an exception

When it comes to you, girl, I need your affection

Every time you walk by, you get my inspection

All you gotta do now is make your selection

And it won't be hard to win this election

I can show you the world girl the world girl

But ain't nothing else like L.A

Nothing like L.A


[Verse 2]

I done been around the world, I ain't impressed

I can't wait till we hit L-A-X

Tokyo is cool and yea I feel the UK

But can't nothing can fuck with Californ-i-a

Especially L.A. and I'm feeling The Bay

But nothing like rolling down PCH

Top down West bound it's all good

You don't go Hollywood when you from Hollywood

Let's go to the hood and fuck with the haters

Then to the Staples Center and hang with the Lakers

No. 6 is cool but no. 24 is the champ

And even D. Wade and Chris Bosh know that


[Verse 3]

I can show you the Palms, Mirage

The Taj Mahal to the strip in M-I-A

I can show the waterfalls from Spain to Prague

To the beach in Saint-Tropez

I can show you the world girl the world girl

But ain't nothing else like L.A

I can show you the world girl the world girl

But ain't nothing else like L.A

Nothing like L.A


[Verse 4]

The BET Awards and even the Grammys

They always pick L.A. over Miami

I love Miami, I ain't dissin' Miami

But where would you rather get robbed for your Grammy?

Ain't nothing like Sunset Boulevard

Compton and Watts if you wanna be hard

We got it all, what you thought not at all

If you sicker than shit, then take a Tylenol

It’s just me and my woman versus all of y'all

And we taking a bow for our curtain call

The angels are lost, they don't wanna be found

If God is looking for them, I can show him around
