Skid Row (Remastered)

You're crying, and I'm living
When I'm on the skid row
Mixing dope, sell it low
Mix havana, 'cetamol
You're dying, but I'm happy
'Cause I'm on the skid row
No wonder you don't know it
When the city always glows

I know people quick
To romanticize L.A.
But it'll put you underground
If you don't know the game
And if you don't have a name
You're a lucky soul
A shadow in the dark
There's light, and you go
Hotel Hollywood
Is doing the most
To please everyone
Inappropriate shows
This shit ain't no New York
And it's not a Cologne
It's something else
It feels alone, when

You're crying, and I'm living
When I'm on the skid row
Mixing dope, sell it low
Mix havana, 'cetamol
You're dying, but I'm happy
'Cause I'm on the skid row
No wonder you don't know it
When the city always glows

You're crying, and I'm living
When I'm on the skid row
Mixing dope, sell it low
Mix havana, 'cetamol
You're dying, but I'm happy
'Cause I'm on the skid row
No wonder you don't know it
When the city always glows

Yuh
Drunk drivin' in my glass house
Imma' get the Jack out
It's time to fuckin' party, mama
I got real friends now
I met 'em in the hills
Then we went to a boulevard
I saw all the stars
And made my mark
And then we met some peeps'
They had a party in their crib
A girl was lying dead
But no one that gave a shit
Yeah, and then I had to leave
So I tell 'em I would go
And "nah, you're not for real"
They say while pulling out the coke
But I hate all of this
This will never be my shit
And as I'm leaving they say
"Wait, meet someone for me on the row"

You're crying, and I'm living
When I'm on the skid row
Mixing dope, sell it low
Mix havana, 'cetamol
You're dying, but I'm happy
'Cause I'm on the skid row
No wonder you don't know it
When the city always glows

If I ever want to die
I'll rent out the getty'
Girls and idiots alike,
Partyin' all for the henny'
And I'll buy a truckload
Full of drugs,
With all the xannies'
Yellow, green and blue
Motherfuckers would be better off on mary'
Headdive in diamonds
Baby this is L.A.
Where rich people come
To live day to day
So look at all the talent
That goes to waste,
Then hope and pray
For better days
And don't forget
To spare some change,
Cause winter comes
And no one's safe
I'm writing this to you
From skid row, stay safe
Keepin' low, I gotta go

You're crying, and I'm living
When I'm on the skid row
Mixing dope, sell it low
Mix havana, 'cetamol
You're dying, but I'm happy
'Cause I'm on the skid row
No wonder you don't know it
When the city always glows

You're crying, and I'm living
When I'm on the skid row
Mixing dope, sell it low
Mix havana, 'cetamol
You're dying, but I'm happy
'Cause I'm on the skid row
No wonder you don't know it
When the city always glows
