I can show you the pawls and bawls, the Taj Mahal
To the strip in M.I.A
I can show you the waterfalls in Spain and Prague
To the beaches in Tropez
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
Nothin' like LA
(When they come to LA)
They got the wrong impression
(When they come to LA)
They got to learn their lesson
(When they come to West Coast)
It's such an obsession
(When they come to play it out)
I'm just an exception
When I come to you, girl, I need your affection
Every time you walk by, you get my inspection
And all you gotta do now is make your selection
And it won't be hard to win this election
I can show you the pawls and bawls, the Taj Mahal
To the strip in M.I.A
I can show you the waterfalls in Spain and Prague
To the beaches in Tropez
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
Nothin' like LA
I done been around the world, I ain't impress
I can't wait 'til we hit LAX
Tokyo is cool, yeah, I feel the U.K.
But can nothin' fuck with California-A
Especially LA and I'm feelin' the bay
But nothin' like rollin' 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
Number 6 is cool but 24 is the champ
And even D. Wade and Chris Bosh know that
I can show you the pawls and bawls, the Taj Mahal
To the strip in M.I.A
I can show you the waterfalls in Spain and Prague
To the beaches in Tropez
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
Nothin' like LA
The BET awards and even the Grammys
They always pick LA over Miami
I love Miami, I ain't dissin' Miami
But where would you rather get robbed for your Grammy?
Ain't nothin' like Sunset Boulevard
Compton and watch if you wanna be hard
We got it all, what you thought not at all
If you sick of this shit then take a Tylenol
It's just me and my woman verses all of ya'll
And we takin' a bow for our curtain call
The angels is lost, they don't wanna be found
If God is lookin' for 'em, I can show Him around
I can show you the pawls and bawls, the Taj Mahal
To the strip in M.I.A
I can show you the waterfalls in Spain and Prague
To the beaches in Tropez
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
I can show you the world, girl, the world, girl
But ain't nothin' else like LA
Nothin' like LA
