California Dreaming

This one here's for the west coast It's cold in the winter out here The desert funk and the bass go thump When I roll in my focus no fear I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic California dreaming this year I love the South West where I feel so blessed California dreaming still I don't remember seeing the beach when I was younger Never rocked a show in Cali like I have wanted Told so many times I need to leave my home town Did it before it only led to more hunger See I can make a living at home It's cheaper here Got the plug on all my vices endless refer, clear Skies most the time only thing is winter months Colder than f*ck and people staying warm with drugs The venues out here suck and promoters are worse I'm already blackballed before the end of this verse Get used to it cuz the truth don't hurt A job pays better than music in the NM dirt A revelation created to do one of 2 things Submit to failure or keep making more beats Never give up gotta keep dreaming I'm gonna make the rap world mine or die trying This one here's for the west coast It's cold in the winter out here The desert funk and the bass go thump When I roll in my focus no fear I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic California dreaming this year I love the South West where I feel so blessed California dreaming still I don't wanna move away I just wanna visit the beach and get paid Take my wife and dogs on a small getaway Come back with a few racks Make it a holiday Dollars pay for a lot of things But I know money ain't everything So we'll keep trying to balance hustle & family Sometimes loved ones get a little mad at me Cuz I'm always in the clouds trying to run from reality Now don't get me twisted I am a hard worker But I'm also entrepreneurial by nature Have a small little problem with my anger And for authorities have nothing but angst & hatred Can't stand looking at books knowing my cuts minimal Grew up with crooks but not built to be a criminal Still not willing to kiss ass for a little growth Finances need a boost like sugar in plain cereal This one here's for the west coast It's cold in the winter out here The desert funk and the bass go thump When I roll in my focus no fear I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic California dreaming this year I love the South West where I feel so blessed California dreaming still I remember when I moved out west with my aunty Didn't stay that long cuz Burque streets had me I was a drunk and a lush Call it exactly What I saw what it was when I was younger crashing Deeper into craters I dug myself smashing Into the concrete like operating jack hammers Bummy and broke with all the talent in the world Running the streets wasting energy on thrills I used to try to get rich with weed & pills Learned the hard way that music doesn't pay bills For real Now I'm make ends meet by budgeting and planning Feel rich off 30 k and still enhancing When you finally realize you made it a long time ago Perception is everything Don't mean we can't get more Greed is natural, so why isn't kindness? We're all California dreaming till our time comes This one here's for the west coast It's cold in the winter out here The desert funk and the bass go thump When I roll in my focus no fear I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic California dreaming this year I love the South West where I feel so blessed California dreaming still
