Dead LA

(album: Millennial Meltdown - 2019)

It's Ryan Oakes
Where's the blow at?

Post nasal drip
While you try to get a grip
Spend a thousand on a fifth
For a thousand on a pic
Life a bitch but you rich
Cop a Grammy, watch it drift
Homie even on vacation
You the type to go and trip

You a trust fund baby
With nobody you can trust
All your friends are all your enemies
And that's the deepest cut
I can see it in your face
I'm the type to call your bluff
You addicted to this shit
And you could never get enough

Why don't you call your best friends
And let's have a party (Grab the weed, grab the Jack)
Full of all the people so close
They know you only (We can front it all, [?])

I don't think that I wanna die in LA
I just pray that I make it home safe
And if that's the cost for the money and fame
Then that's a price that I'm not gonna pay

'Cause all I met all my idols, they're fucking lame
Everybody I looked up to is fucking fake
So I don't think that I wanna die in LA
And give these people a heart they'll just break

Look at all my friends
Look at all my friends
They're all superficial
Rich kids who follow trends
Look at all my friends
Look at all my friends
None of them will be there
For me in the end

I know your type
You just follow the hype
Post a pic and get likes
With your friends you don't like
At the party all night
With Bacardi and lines
But when shit's on your mind
Then there's hardly a line

Then you said look for help
Drop a bag, fuck your wealth
On a fad, you can brag
But you still hate yourself
Sipping on the top shelf
Until nothing is felt
Tell yourself that you're fine
We all know you ain't well
You need help

I don't think that I wanna die in LA
I just pray that I make it home safe
And if that's the cost for the money and fame
Then that's a price that I'm not gonna pay

'Cause all I met all my idols they're fucking lame
Everybody I looked up to is fucking fake
So I don't think that I wanna die in LA
And give these people a heart they'll just break

Look at all my friends
Look at all my friends
They'll give me more attention
If I cop a Benz
Look at all my friends
Look at all my friends
None of them will be there
For me in the end
