Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Palm trees, murals on the wall Tagging up the alley by the mall Koreatown dinners, then we slide to the Bay But we right back, 10 East, same day Spanglish on the corner, grandma at the swap meet Sari shops sitting right across the soul food seats Sunday in the choir, Friday at the mosque Same block, same air, same smog, same cross [Chorus] This that heart of the coast Where the whole world came, made home (yeah) From the valley to the ports, one zone We the pulse, we the flame, we the tone This that heart of the coast Where a thousand tongues talk in one song If you made it out here, you belong LA, LA, beating strong (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Food truck line, smell the carne and the pho Ethiopian coffee, boba cup full of love Kids hoop dreams on a cracked blacktop Tesla at the light next to three bus stops Old heads talking ’bout riots and change New kids posting every protest page Red, blue, gold, green flags in the air Different stories, same sun, same glare [Chorus] This that heart of the coast Where the whole world came, made home (hey) From the valley to the ports, one zone We the pulse, we the flame, we the tone This that heart of the coast Where a thousand tongues talk in one song If you made it out here, you belong LA, LA, beating strong [Bridge] From South Central up to Pasadena Little Armenia, Venice by the marina All these maps in a single breath All these lives in a single step (woah) [Chorus] This that heart of the coast Where the whole world came, made home From the valley to the ports, one zone We the pulse, we the flame, we the tone This that heart of the coast Where a thousand tongues talk in one song If you made it out here, you belong LA, LA, beating strong

Hard-hitting West Coast bounce with crisp trumpets on the hook, wah-soaked guitars panned wide, and a growling bass line glued to punchy drums. Violin stabs add drama on the turnarounds; verses ride a head-nod pocket with male vocals, doubles and low ad-libs. Hook explodes with stacked chants and brass swells, then drops back to a gritty, spacious groove between sections., hardcore, violin
