California

(album: The Album - 2002)

[Lil' Rob: Talking]
Southern California
Home of low-riding
Gang-banging and shit
California

[Chorus: Lil' Rob]
I was raised in the streets of California
(Southern California, home of car-hopping and
bomb-dropping
West coast pop locking, walking how we're talkin')
I was raised in the streets of California
(I was raised in Californ-I-A
Where homeboys die everyday over some shit they say)

[Verse 1]
I've always been down with hydros
And cholos, the low-lows
The six-threes, the six-fours
The rucas with no clothes
Used to drop the two-door
Gang-bang in a four door
Putting bullet holes
In the doors of a Ford Explorer
Hard-core, and I got more and more
Where that came from?
Welcome to my kingdom
The streets are my freedom
I need em', I feed em', I feedback
They need that, like I need my weed sack
Take a toque, wacha
Where were we at?
Oh, California the golden state
Controlling states, pushing weight
Where vatos like me hallucinate
Double up while you fumble up
Fucking up, you fucking punk
If there's no room
Then we'll stick em' by the fucking pump

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Slipping and dipping, gripping the wheel
Locking it up
Dump the back corner
Pop the front one up
Put the convertable top down
It's too good to stop now
This California living
Smoke up on the ceiling
Party at the roof, off the hook
Got every drug up in the book
You don't believe me
See for yourself and take a closer look
Low rider car shows
Hopping till the truck blows
Catch me at the bar
Having a drink with my uncles
Pacifico with no lime
That's what I drink at all times
Creased up Davis'
I'm always out like where the pavement is
I come from the underground
The underground like where the basement is
It's California, people have a hard time facing it

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Lowrider bicycles, tricycles
Cold as icycles
Smoking chronic shit
So high, you would think my eyes are closed
I got my eyes on those
Who be thinking that my eyes are closed
But there not ese
Trucha when you get too close
You'll know, that I know
What you think? I don't know
I might explode, unload
Reload, and unload
You broke the code, you got's to go
Ain't no future in your fronting
Crazy California homeboy
Where the cuete's busting
California styling, California riding
Whittier Boulevard to 'Frisco
Then back to Highland
I gots to do it like the locos do
Don't race your ride
Hop your ride like you're supposed to do, through

[Chorus]
