I am goin' to California
I'll find home in California
I'll be gone before the morning
I know just where I am going
Pack my bags and hit the road
Hope I see gold in California
Why my town get oh so cold
But it don't snow in California
I'll find home in California
I'll find home in California
I'll be gone before the morning
I know just where I am going
Pack my bags and hit the road
I might be on in California
When my city gettin cold
Heard it won't snow in California
I wanna share with ya
A Story of the damned souls
They called the area that I was in
The Dead Zone
Where I ain't tryna lose my life
To make no friends tho
Cuz I was scared,
no part of me was prepared
For all the streets would've did
I oughta be with the dead tho
Imagine sayin' lucky
Is not to have dead bros
Aye where yo mans tho
Heard you niggas layin' low
Word is they hit him dead
But I Heard you on was his head tho
Mama taught me stay out of it
Same ole streets that my father in
Maybe I really I'm not like him
Maybe it was mama that saved me
From bein his followin
Made me into a watcher
And saved me from bein a monster
Or maybe even a body
Im thankful but niggas dyin' beside me
And all my friends too
Its nigga plottin to slide
And you talkin' "stay in school"
They jus got shot jus a block away
From this damn school
And even right in front of it
Shot 'em right in the head too
They ran a random girl over
And now she dead too
He shot his mama
He locked up but nah she dead too
They goin body for body
And even suicide
I never thought nobody around me
Would commit suicide
But I'm not here to scrutinize
Not even here to unify
If you ain't from the bottom
Don't try and tell me yo view of life
Imagine missin part of yo childhood
Thinking that you would die
Acknowledging the fact
That its impossible to choose a life
I'll find home in California
I am goin' to California
I'll be gone before the morning
I know just where I am going
Pack my bags and hit the road
Hope I see gold in California
Why my town get oh so cold
But it don't snow in California
And I know that California
Can't be pretty all across
Cuz' there'll be death
No matter where you go
Don't ever think you lost it
