And the winner is.....

living in LA, aint always sunshine
they come to here to find dreams
sometimes they take mine
It's easy  'cause
it seems I only waste time
in the city that raised me
if I've learned anything
it's that nothing is free
I mean nothing is free
Sometimes I despise this place, 
but Los Angeles   
is something to see
actually 
it's more something to be   
It's mentality is now pumping through me
Her Angel wings
with dirty chains
around here
The seasons dont change
its more than just strange
how people complain
that nothing is real
that nothing can heal
in a city that still
accepts you 
for real
LA tells you to dream
it tempts you with lights
it sells you the cream 
rubs it on you at night
It is everything you wanted, alright
and still everything we hate about life
were just chasing a string
blind cats in a fight
looking for the same thing
and its tortue sometimes
all the work and the waiting
with the hope
the result
is more than amazing
Kind of like...
 the sun when it's fading      
we celebrate while the drum circle is playing
and contemplate as our bodies are shaking
to the rhythms enslaving 
our limbs
no time for behaving
These are rituals...
shit, this is spiritual
the pursuit of happiness
is what my city gives to you
It all points west
and no less than a miracle
los angeles
we  dont care
we dont care
we dont care if you care 
..its cool
were the hairs that stick out 
its true
 we really love that you hate it too
because very few
of us will ever "make it"
boy, this place 
can even make failure  great
it takes more than patience 
you really have to go 
out and fucking break shit
with no complaints
just take it
forget about do's and don'ts
is and ain'ts
no place for rules
certainly
no time for saints
Look around, sometimes its friends
that will take your place
and its sort of basic
this mystic matrix 
of love and hate
luck and fate
man..it's all the same shit
in the end
we will trade in
 all that's sacred 
just to have our name
among the
special patrons 
A city that is young and sexy naked
but scary wasted
so theres no better place to catch a taste
besides the weather's great
man the weather IS great
(mostly sunny days)
you really cant relate
to this crazy maze
such an amazing race
come visit
but youll need more than a couple of days
before you get it
Los angeles is the end
(dont you get it)
its armegeddeon
To those millions sitting
In their cars with their arms 
reaching up to the stars
still trying to fit in
 this poem is for them
hope they understand
why all the bitterness 
Out here Iv'e survived
I may lack some drive
but I am indegnous
with nothing to hide
never deprived
sucked on this city's breast
all of my life
All of the truth
all of the lies
LA 
oh LA
