[Verse 1: Niia]
I came to California
Nothing but those blue skies
Why'd I leave my old life?
Blame it on your grey eyes
[Pre-Chorus: Niia]
Oh, but love's deceiving
You know I've tried
Came to California (California)
Ooh, but now I don't know why
[Chorus: Niia + Boogie]
'Cause every time you need me I fall apart
And every time you trust me I break your heart
Every time you kiss me it's just okay
Uh, it's just okay
And every time you're with me I'm far away
Yeah
[Verse 2: Boogie]
I hate you're afraid of yourself and you put on a show, uh
I hate that you're holding me back but I know it's the reason I grow, uh
I hate you like having to walk through them niggas in front of the store, uh
I hate that I want it or maybe I love it and hate that you know
Shit, I don't know, uh
Do I pick to try? Do I pick the silence?
Tell the truth about what I want to do
But that's the problem with me I'm too indecisive
Thinking 'bout when we was in the hood
And when we needed help but we ain't hear the sirens
Get in the house and let the neighbors call in
They be at our door up hope it ain't a nigga time
How I'm scared to die when I don't feel alive
Let's draw out the space and erase all the borders
Uh, shit, let's follow our faith and not follow no orders, uh
You know that's the area we'll all get found I'm so far I explore, uh
Losing myself while I'm chasing a fortune, oh California
[Chorus: Niia + Boogie]
'Cause every time you need me I fall apart (I fall apart)
And every time you trust me I break your heart (I break your heart)
Every time you kiss me it's just okay (it's just okay)
And every time you're with me I'm far away
'Cause every time you need me I fall apart, I fall apart
And every time you trust me I break your heart
I, you break my heart
Every time you kiss me it's just okay, it's just okay
And every time you're with me I'm far away
[Refrain: Boogie]
Is this so wrong?
Is this so wrong?
Oh belief is so deep
[Chorus: Niia + Boogie]
'Cause every time you need me I fall apart
And every time you trust me I break your heart
Is this so wrong?
Every time you kiss me it's just okay
And every time you're with me I'm far away
[Outro: Niia + Boogie]
Yo, yo, yo Westside, Westside, Westside, Westside, yea
Oh, California
Yea
Oh, California
