California Living

[ Intro ] Jaylon Musa

Yea, I love L.A

Aww yea, I love L.A

Nigga oh yea

I love California

[ Verse 1 ]

I'm in Hollywood on the northside where the palm tree's stand tall/
I can feel the mist from the ocean where the pacific meets land fall/
California the main attraction is the sunshine but the darkside/
You gotta watch for these crooked cops they be posted up on the far side/
I'm always looking in my rear view, switching lanes on the interstate/
A nigga just trying to make it home everytime I do I just give thanks/
Lord knows too many niggas can't say thе same/
I hate seeing my brother's diе life's not fair I just play the game/

[ Chorus ]

Calfornia living I pray my angles watch over me

Cops is killing niggas I pray my angles watch over me

Niggas killing niggas I pray my angels watch over me

I can't be a victim I pray my angels watch over me

[ Verse 2 ]

Just know that it's real niggas will kick in your door to take what you got/
They'll send a shorty to lay in ya spot you think she a thot she gave them the drop/
Have you face down with the trey pound better pay now where the cash/
Where the safe at and the code better be correct or they on yo ass/
Get a gun you gone need that, keep that where you sleep at/
Shit is sad I gotta preach that but you never know where the thieves at and it be blacks/
That self hate be the reason why we kill/
We rather timid with another race but our own blood is what we spill/
More than not it's a parking lot where we often shot/
Last week I seen 3 babies get their life taken in a crossing fire/
When it's gonna stop/
How can a tree grow without it's root/
How can we have hope without our youth/
We dying of thirst/
You put a K.dot on ya brother head and you made him the earth/
You took his absoul for no reason we not reversing the curse/
You cut off the life line of a school boy you not a top dawg you fool boy (you a fool boy)

[ Chorus ]

Calfornia living I pray my angles watch over me

Cops is killing niggas I pray my angles watch over me

Niggas killing niggas I pray my angels watch over me

I can't be a victim I pray my angels watch over me

[ Verse 3 ]

The only thing promised is yesterday life can't be rewinded/
I get caught up with grinding then look at my life and think where the time went/
When the visions of you are successfully driven you thinking that you loss/
If you not putting work in/
The escape from poor is just something that you talk (shit)
One life to live making sure a cop won't take it from me
I'm on a trail that's a scary one but I got a mother that's praying for me/
I made an oath to the new me I wouldn't live in fear and I meant that/
Sometimes I really just sit back and legit laugh at how far a nigga came/
