LA Lyrics

[Chorus]
These LA streets are killin' me
These LA streets are killin' me
These LA streets are killin' me
These LA streets are killin' me

[Verse]
Lemonade lakes in the plaza
In the Chevy, going 90 down La Brea
It's wavy 'cause that shit don't matter
MJ on the radio, so we blast that, MJ on the radio
Niggas always chasin' answers
We just wanna know, if we really matter, we just wanna know

[Pre-Chorus]
We thought we was above it all
'Cause we been friends since Wayne was a hot boy
He said we should keep drivin'
For the sake of survivin', now we hot, boy

[Pre-Chorus]
We thought we was above it all
'Cause we been friends since Wayne was a hot boy
He said we should keep drivin'
For the sake of survivin', now we hot, boy

Is the change in instrumentation of any significance?

Genius Answer

When asked which “LA” Dawn was referring to, on a podcast interview with Billboard she said:

It’s both. It’s the parallel and that’s why the song reinvents itself consistently. If you listen to the first half of it, it’s all synth and the as you graduate towards the end it’s electric guitar then Trombone Shorty ends it. Which is so New Orleans
