California

[Intro: E-40] Throwin’ up the upside down M (the upside down M) E-40, the W, like the hotel West Coast! Y’all picked the right person to bring this shit to life I’mma speak some real this This how that shit go down I’m the soul narrator [Verse 1: E-40] It’s zany on these dumping grounds Don’t be slippin’ with your pants down They got some big shit hundred rounds That’ll knock you out your shoes and spin your neck around Crooked cops, crooked dice, crooked streets Dark guns, dark alleys, dark reefs Don’t get fooled by the palm trees and the beach They wake your ass up, put the pistol to your teeth Where the safe at? Where the shoe box? Where your duffel, patna? Lost souls, they don’t believe in karma The fast lane, fast cars, fast cash Bad bitches, big titties, big ass (who out here?) Celebrities and socialites Pimps, gangstas, and hustlas under the streetlights They’ll run up on ya, make sure you with some real ones When you come in California [Hook 1: Ariel Pink] Even when it’s flying high Watching the weather Up above, the city skies And gettin’ it together California, California [Verse 2: E-40] Cali, the land of opportunity San Quintin and Silicon Valley Where they learn to play the corner Where they play with drumsticks that’ll go through body armour In the Pacific to be specific (what they like to do?) Where they’ll follow you on the freeway Catch you gettin’ off an exit when you least expect it Unexpected, in the middle of the daylight where the traffic hectic Bold, cold, these judges ain’t plannin’ on gettin’ old, old Got hit now he layin’ up in the road, road His mama outside up in her robe, robe (her robe?) (Where you from?) West Coast! You sick out this bitch, as I squash like this The fog and the mist (West Coast!) I yell that shit out, that’s all that I know, that’s how that shit go [Hook 2: Ariel Pink] Even when it’s flying high Watching the weather Up above and try hard to Get it together California, California [Outro: Ariel Pink] Up above the cities skies in California And soon we'll be flying high in California In California
