California

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