| This California lifestyle that I live
|
| Zeus amps, Zap' board, highs and mids
|
| Woofers in the truck straight slammin'
|
| Striking through the neighborhood jammin'
|
| Where you could drop the top, or blow the brains
|
| Hit in the intersection and do some things
|
| Passin' up folks with a gang of yolks
|
| Smooth, thick legs, no pantyhose
|
| Silky perms and dookie braids
|
| Brothers with curls, some with fades
|
| House parties rock, way past three
|
| Players straight sip on Hennessy
|
| High street chasers, Chevy races
|
| Having sex in the strangest places
|
| Nike shoes, Levi’s jeans
|
| Triple gold Daytons and straight-laced Zeens
|
| Some on vocals, some only leads
|
| Brothers like me rap to the beat
|
| Dual exhaust, candy paint
|
| Fat bank and gang a dank
|
| Never on time, always late
|
| On the Bay Bridge or the Golden Gate
|
| If you wanna live on the best coast
|
| You better try to move to the West Coast
|
| Where 'Life is Too Short' and 'The Game is Thick'
|
| Home of The Mac and the 'Groupie Ol' Chick'
|
| Where brothers stay on the savage grind
|
| Kick with a freak when they find the time
|
| The C-A-L-I-F-O-R, N-I-A rap superstar
|
| Dose for dose, I love to spit
|
| And for the dank, I love to hit it
|
| Hold it in, so it can choke me
|
| And when I get dank, it will provoke me
|
| To bust a rhyme, through the mike
|
| A West Coast rap, the kind you like
|
| Where makin' dope raps is all I know
|
| Wake up in the morning, eat some grits
|
| Hit the studio, make some hits
|
| Now that you’ve been told about
|
| What you rap fans get sold about
|
| One million copies, or even more
|
| I’m pumpin' dope rhymes to the record store
|
| Yeah fool, you hear me spittin'
|
| Tellin' you about that California livin'
|
| (California livin')
|
| (California livin')
|
| Ah yeah, I got my boy Coolie in the house, he’s finna bust one
|
| Yeah, what y’all know about C-double O-L-I-O on this microphone? |
| Goes like this.
|
| Kickin' it tuff everyday, tryna make it through
|
| Stackin' a bank, pullin' women and I take it you
|
| Would wanna be down with this California lifestyle
|
| Ruthless as a child, now I’m livin' wild
|
| In the streets of California you better be packin'
|
| And watch your back due to the fact there’s jackin'
|
| The wind breeze, blowin' through the trees
|
| And I’m still gettin' tacked at a hundred degrees
|
| Sides so hard on the avenue
|
| From L.A. to the Bay, brothers stay comin' through
|
| In Benzes, Porsches, Fives and things
|
| Dropped Cougs, lit Chevs and whipped up 'stangs
|
| Gold Daytons and Vogues, candy painting the kit
|
| Fifth wheel, gold grill, boy, I’m talk about lit
|
| Some of the baddest females ever seen
|
| Straight California skanks, out for your green
|
| In the Golden State, livin' way too real, fool
|
| And if you soft, you best be cool
|
| To the double R, all my time is givin'
|
| Coolio and Mac Dre, California livin'
|
| (California livin') (Repeat 4X)
|
| Ah yeah, Mac Dre, we smooth California livin' on 'em (California livin')
|
| (Mac Dre: What’s up my Romp cuddies?)
|
| (California livin')
|
| We shooting to the T-O-P in the 9-O's
|
| (Mac Dre: Livin' that California lifestyle, homeboy)
|
| California livin'
|
| California livin'
|
| Ah yeah, that’s dope
|
| Check it out, let’s put a little somethin' like this…
|
| Somethin' like this, check it out…1−2-3-(3)
|
| California livin' it up
|
| Girls be givin' it up
|
| Kickin' back on the track with a some Heem in your cup
|
| It’s a twelve-month party
|
| So when you see me on stage with Lott and Marty
|
| Get out your seat and feel the beat
|
| And peel a freak and don’t stop 'til Cease kills the beat
|
| On the California coast we pop the most
|
| And dose for dose and spit the dope
|
| On the W-e-s-t C-o-a-s-t
|
| It’s young Mac Dre from the C-r-e-s-t
|
| Down and dirty, doin' things that only players can do
|
| Straight California livin' is what I’m sayin' to you
|
| Ridin', sidin', whipin', dippin'
|
| 24/7, a brotha ain’t trippin'
|
| Mac Dre, the one you like to listen to
|
| Nationwide and now I’m fixin' to
|
| Put a little slang in the rap game
|
| And come up strong for The Mac, mayne
|
| («Mac Dre, boy») For The Mac, mayne
|
| («Mac», «Mac») For The Mac, mayne
|
| («Mac Dre, boy») |
