Californi
a
California
Dreaming California California
I'm in the same hotel
where the evils landed
I'm right next door to
the thieves and bandits
Knee deep in the streets
where the trees were planted
When hate meant peace,
now the peace is brandished, yeah
This is for the mamas and the papas,
I made it
Got to put my star on the pavement
But wear your shades,
cause the sun's always blazin'
There's too many bridges to burn here,
amen
So I hang ten, try to ride the wave in
Dark age came,
brought fire to the cavemen
Message in a bottle,
sent from outer space
Fill the castle in the sand,
that's a sure thing, ain't it?
They told me that life's a bitch
But man, it's a beach for me,
you need to switch
A Cali kid no matter where I is
Golden Gates, now I'm standing at the Perleys,
you heard me
I've been dreaming of
a place to go
Where the sky is a shade of gold,
shade of gold
And they say it never rains here
You can find fortune and fame here
They say it's the place to be
Can't sleep cause
you're chasing dreams
Dreaming California
Surfing on a concrete beach,
front row seat
The sun lights the masquerade
See I've been soakin' up the sunshine
So I can unwind
In pink California with a tongue
I'm
Sittin' on the Hollywood sign
Lookin' down at the Hollywood and Vine
You should climb up,
and you can find us
Rhymin' on the fava,
north where the Broadway is,
just where the broads play
Broad day, you can see the stars always
I'm in Cali where the sky's
the same
Color as 4K, offstage Golden
Empire in some casual attire
In a purple haze, I be flyin' bootleg
We can never part ways,
born and raised,
I'ma die right here where
I lay my L .A. cap at
Small fry with a giant dream,
Mr. King, put the A on your team
From the land where the grass at,
home of the past that, that's that
Ooh man, I'm a dreamer,
I've been dreaming of a place to go
Where the sky is a shade of gold,
shade of gold
And they say it never rains here,
you can find fortune and fame here
They say it's the place to be,
can't sleep cause you're chasing
dreams
Surfing on a concrete beach,
front row seat, wow
This is the home of the perfect ten,
six plus four
Anything classic,
they slam it to the floor
Panoramic view, get a clue, get a bar
The cannons always blast,
tryna shoot a couple stars
Cameras always flashing,
that's what I meant to say
Same thing anyway,
right out here where Beckham play
In a different galaxy,
that's where I'm landing
Bout to plant my flag
right here where I'm standin'
They told Ponyboy to stay golden
Now he's up in California
with bitches lettin' the rain soak in
He walks the boulevard full
of broken dreams
With a sunset with no sky,
nothin's what it seems
Yeah, he jumpin' on a radio flyer
Tryin' to get their foot in the door
before they retire
But you can keep
the bandwagon on
before they kick me
With California buildin' my lap cabin
California, dreamin' Cali
fornia
California, dreamin' California
I've been dreamin' of a place to go
Where the sky is a shade of gold
Shade of gold
And they say it never rains here
And combine fortune and fame,
yeah
They say it's the place to be
Can't sleep cause you're chasing
dreams
Dreamin' California
Surfin' on a concrete beach,
front row seat
But the sunlight's the best way
