California

[00:12.17] Yeah, I wanna take this time to dedicate this song to my city
[00:18.26] To my county, fuck it the whole state
[00:19.35] Let me take a moment to tell you just what it is
[00:21.91] C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A is the biz
[00:24.35] Celebrity down to Cherokee back to the kids
[00:26.40] Every level of livin status except for the mid
[00:29.08] A paradise situation if that's what you make it
[00:31.26] Red and blue equal yellow tape if that's where you take it
[00:33.68] Forest fires and earthquakes and manmade lakes
[00:36.14] A prescription for chronic tonic to ease your aches
[00:38.78] And if you dress right, you can have the best night
[00:41.12] Two or three at a time and let the rest fight
[00:43.75] The diamonds and red gold might give you a head cold
[00:46.26] You freeze like a Jello mold when you hit the light
[00:48.51] On Rosecranz you can't make a U-turn
[00:50.35] Cross the T flats and try to make new birds or shoot back
[00:53.55] It's war and peace with no help from police
[00:55.33] Either you rest in in peace or tryin to conquer the streets in California
[00:58.28] Everybody want it but you can't get it
[01:00.44] Gangster to the hustler, live to straight win it
[01:03.09] It's California mayne (California) it's California mayne (California)
[01:08.22] We got movie stars and we got criminals
[01:10.34] Boys from the hood and fly saditty hoes
[01:12.79] It's California mayne (California) it's California mayne (California)
[01:17.06] In Inglewood they come in yellowbone, Compton they come with shots
[01:20.03] Carson got the smart ones, Watts got the hots
[01:22.33] Glass houses in Linnwood, see how they hop
[01:24.68] With the ladies gettin ready in hair and nail shops
[01:27.15] In Bellflower Lakewood ladies taste good
[01:29.55] It stay hood, visitin but stay if they could
[01:31.87] With KDAY bangin out, betray us they stood
[01:34.52] By the burger stand tellin stories on the wood
[01:37.21] With all these dudes and all these bad broads
[01:39.21] And all this good food and all these fast cars
[01:41.74] Ain't no wonder why Cali got all these glad stars
[01:44.26] Forty dollar shots gettin turned up at the bar
[01:46.52] It's the Pacific coast [?] how could they doubt you
[01:48.92] I did this track out of town thinkin about you
[01:51.23] From Eureka through Ventura down to San Diego
[01:54.31] California es en fuego, fuego
[01:56.57] Everybody want it but you can't get it
[01:58.82] Gangster to the hustler, live to straight win it
[02:01.13] It's California mayne (California) it's California mayne (California)
[02:06.03] We got movie stars and we got criminals
[02:08.28] Boys from the hood and fly saditty hoes
[02:10.85] It's California mayne (California) it's California mayne (California)
[02:16.19] Leather and wood, I'm good to the plus
[02:18.44] Don't even trip, I did the shoes and the bus
[02:20.49] 76 and Crenshaw was the locale
[02:23.17] I used to smoke out in between my vo-cals
[02:25.99] Wherever it's cheap, wherever it's Q
[02:27.58] Whatever California want us to do
[02:29.80] If you in the red and they get you in blue
[02:32.53] Represent your concrete keepin it true
[02:34.37] And all my girls in the world, I love you all
[02:36.56] I never want you to lose, I won't let you fall
[02:39.36] But you gotta get better at lovin a nigga, lovin yourself
[02:42.01] Instead of steady comin up on the wealth
[02:44.54] I been here a while, I know a pretty smile is a trap
[02:47.02] To pull a nigga right up out of his cap
[02:49.27] But give me 20 minutes I can widen the gap
[02:51.41] It's California baby on the left of the map, ah-hah
[02:54.75] Everybody want it but you can't get it
[02:56.98] Gangster to the hustler, live to straight win it
[02:58.93] It's California mayne (California) it's California mayne (California)
[03:04.39] We got movie stars and we got criminals
[03:06.55] Boys from the hood and fly saditty hoes
[03:09.06] It's California mayne (California) it's California mayne (California)
[03:14.91]
