I lost my dreams in the hills in California

About time it's only fair for me to know, me to know

I tried to see the good, but only saw the fake

And never understood but nothing was the same

I froze my wrist to remind myself of home, self of home

I went and crashed my whip took the wrong turn down memory road, oh

LA is full of hypocrites, all pretending to be something they not, no

Everything ain't what it seems like on the outside

They're all puppets told exactly what to be like

I wish I knew all this but I know some things are better unknown, oh

Everybody out here fiending for the same thing

They'll do whatever it takes to go and get it

And everybody out here struggling to maintain

They sold themselves for some status and don't regret it

Yeah, cocaine, blue checks, they want another hit of that

Fake gold chains just to look lit for the internet

Instagram and dating apps just to feel a little validation

But it don't make sense nah nah

I lost my dreams in the hills in California

About time it's only fair for me to know, me to know

I tried to see the good, but only saw the fake

And never understood but nothing was the same

I froze my wrist to remind myself of home, self of home

I went and crashed my whip took the wrong turn down memory road, oh

LA is full of hypocrites, all pretending to be something they not, no

Everything ain't what it seems like on the outside

They're all puppets told exactly what to be like

I wish I knew all this but I know some things are better unknown, oh
