Lyrics
Well, I shook hands with the devil
Down on the south side
And he bought us both a drink
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
I said, "Tell me what you think"
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
I even asked my shrink
He brought me down to his level
Said, "Son, you're not special
You won't find him where you think"
You won't find him down on Sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
Took a sip of his whiskey
Said, "Now that you're with me
Well, I think that you should stay"
Yeah, I know you've been busy
Searching through the city
So let me share the way
I know I'm not your savior
Know I'm not your truth
But I think we could be friends
He said "Come down to my level
Hang out with the devil
Let me tell you, in the end...
You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"
And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
And that is when I realized that I was alone
And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
And I don't care what they say
You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
I won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
When they sold me the dream I was just 16
Packed my bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

I'll just pretend I haven't heard this song for 10000000 times before this and listen to it now...
same lol
Relatable
Omg so true
Yes
Very same hrlere
Is Anyone here who didn’t heard a better voice than Alec’s voice??❤️
His voice is the best
Does a better voice exist??
ME HE HAS THE BEST VOICE
* grammar has left the chat *
No
Alec: posts all the lyric videos at once
Me, an indecisive person: WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE
same
Play them all at once. Problem solved!
You can actually play them according to the album's arrangement it would make sense then.
Well? Don't leave us hanging!
Are you a Libra?
Did you just post a lyric video for song who has been out for a year?
Alec: it izzz what it izz
Some people ask why it be, but it just do.
it izz what it izz
Everyone: being sad that Alec isn’t “our little secret” anymore
Me: we should be proud of where he’s gotten❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's a mix between feeling like a proud parent of a successful child and a sad one now that the kid's left the nest lmao
@@ssg2689 can't agree more (oh I'm getting teary lol)
@@ssg2689 exactly❤
its more like a kid is going to college and the parents r proud yet they miss the kid being a child
@@ssg2689 fax😢
*Why alec is special* 💜
•He can rap,
•He can write songs,
•He can sing ballads,
•His voice is showstopping,
•He has a great personality,
•He's handsome.
*What more do you need?*
The human definition of perfect
Not handsome 🙄
Absolutely adorable 🥰🥰
@@maebywright3164 ngl you absolutely got me on the other half
• He's funny
• He's kind
I want to become his bestest friend!!🧡💁🏻♀️
Alec Benjamin just has an instant identity! Which really sets apart as an artist! When I first heard his voice it was like dammm!! I wish I could produce music for him. As a music producer and a songwriter to another! Support Alec Bejamin!!!! :)
PREACH
I wish I had a producer lol, I don't have a good voice tho :(
It is already 3 am gotta sleep
Alec: Na be awake for little while longer
🙄🙄😴😆
I went to sleep at 5 am. It was a mistake sleeping at 5 am on a school night TwT
Your profile picture and name, just dang, that's amazing!
@@Emma-fp3nu thanks 😄
The way that 3 years later I'm doing this🤣
I wish I could meet him and take tips on how he practices his vocals. It's simply amazing.
It's like the male version of Sadie Jean. Just so melodic and addicting to listen to.
Ayo I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible.
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff
The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son)
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified.
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback)
faith and reason, people
hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general
This is going to take a while but
Alec I'm honestly proud of you I'm sure you worked very hard on this album and I just want you to know we're proud of this album is A M A Z I N G I literally can't explain how good it is :)

I'm at Spotify like 24/7 and listening your songs, I have no idea is it healthy?
Yeah it is ...
If it’s an angel singing like Alec, sure! Very healthy actually, studies show that it can erase depression, make you happier, an help you feel healthier.
*YES IT IS*
MY DAY ISNT COMPLETE WITHOUT LISTENING TO OLDER AND PAPER CROWN ABOUT 70 TIMES EACH
You're asking this from people who are listening songs here lol 😂😂😂 we all here listen to songs 24/7
No I don’t think you should be listening to music 24/7 as if you do that you could have hearing problems later on if you listen to it at a certain volume

Neither did I :(
Well, I shook hands with the devil
Down on the south side
And he bought us both a drink
With a pad and a pencil sat by his side
I said, "Tell me what you think"
I've been looking for my savior, looking for my truth
I even asked my shrink
He brought me down to his level
Said, "Son, you're not special
You won't find him where you think"
You won't find him down on Sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
Took a sip of his whiskey
Said, "Now that you're with me
Well, I think that you should stay"
Yeah, I know you've been busy
Searching through the city
So let me share the way
I know I'm not your savior

He said "Come down to my level

'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
At this point iconic perfect song!! Every song is just perfect! WE LOVE YOUUU

Alec needs a whole lot of appretiation, cuz his voice is healing af and I'm not dead yet.
