California

It's like a devil sittin' on my shoulder And he keeps tellin' me just to come over And I can't think straight 'cause I ain't sober I only do cocaine in California In California, in California, in California And I'm a long way from home right now In California Lord, please just keep surroundin' me Tryna escape these demons But I feel like they keep houndin' me Friends talkin' down on me Mama says she's proud of me Stayin' at the chamber and Snortin' lines on the balcony And for some reason, I keep thinkin' about jumpin', man I can't believe I'm thinkin' this way I came from nothin', it's amazin' All of the sudden everybody's lovin' him Wasn't long ago that he was stayin' at the Budget Inn Came to Hollywood, he ain't know what a budget is Next thang you know they tryna fuck him out his publishin' These white lines have him feelin' like the light's lime They sayin' that he's next, he's waitin', it's the right time It's like a devil sittin' on my shoulder And he keeps tellin' me just to come over And I can't think straight 'cause I ain't sober I only do cocaine in California In California, in California, in California And I'm a long way from home right now In California Everyday I awake, hit my knees and start to pray Try to find the words to say but so much sin is in the way What does it take just to make it in this scandalous game? I ain't got no umbrella, I just stand in the rain Man, it takes a strong mind just to handle the fame Willin' to destroy anythin' that stand in the way Next thang you know, I'm learnin' thangs that I never knew Next thang you know, I'm doin' thangs I said I'd never do For good times, man, it's all about a good vibe I'm so high, I swear to God I feel a could fly Walkin' out the rainbow room high as I ever been Told Jackie Chan, I can't believe they finally let us in It's like a devil sittin' on my shoulder And he keeps tellin' me just to come over And I can't think straight 'cause I ain't sober I only do cocaine in California In California, in California, in California And I'm a long way from home right now In Califonia Smokin' weed, just let me be I'm tryna buy my soul back, will they set me free? I got fake friends now, I know we'll never talk Again if my mother fuckin' record blops So I just keep on tryna build this from the ground up Wasn't long ago that I was really weighin' pounds up Really from the streets so keep that pussy shit from 'round us And roll some good weed, somebody pour that crown up It's like a devil sittin' on my shoulder And he keeps tellin' me just to come over And I can't think straight 'cause I ain't sober I only do cocaine in California In California, in California, in California And I'm a long way from home right now In California
