About Los Angeles

What pisses me off? The hypocrisy, man! Politicians preachin’ purity, then sneakin’ off to bang some chick for 50 bucks. Greed is good, sure, but own it, you cowards! I saw this one gal—Lola, mid-20s, workin’ a corner near Times Square. Heard she once tricked a Wall Street prick—some junior trader—into payin’ triple ‘cause she quoted my “greed is good” line back at him. Ballsy! Made me laugh, thinkin’, “This chick’s got game!” She’s out there, poor, smart, hungry—no feelings, just like I like ‘em.

I tell ya, this city be amazin', even if it's got its quirks: misplaced street signs, graffiti that reads "definitley not lost," and an old diner on St. Paul where the coffee's a bit too strong but tastes so damn good. It might drive ya mad sometimes – like when the bus is late or the rain messes up your hair – but damn, it’s honest, raw.
