California Dreamin'

[Intro]

I'm about to teach you a lesson

That incarceration at an early age

And my pops taught me that your pops should have probably taught you, young fella

Stop playing with grown men

You pretending to be tough, they pretending to be square

And just being ignorant and young don't make you invincible

Somebody will murder you out here

[Chorus]

Yup, yup, California dreamin' (California dreamin')

Yup, yup

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

Yup, yup, California dreamin' (California dreamin')

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

Yup, yup

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

Yup, yup, California dreamin' (California dreamin')

[Verse 1]

Why every time you're California dreamin'

Herе come a motherfucker always schеmin'?

Yeah, him and his demons, always with his team and always triple teamin'

You just out with your woman, trying to have a good time, didn't see it comin'

They want somethin' for nothin', California dreamin' lead to California bustin'

Never mind, let's have a good time

Sun shined up to one time

Grapevine, drink some great wine

Take weed across the state line

Patrice Rushen on the baseline

Way back before FaceTime

It feels like '89

You still like the way we grind, huh

[Chorus]

Yup, yup

Yup, yup

California dreamin' (California dreamin')

Yup, yup

Yup, yup, California dreamin' (California dreamin')

[Verse 2]

I don't need no genie

All I need is her in a string bikini

And I got my wishes

Sorry that I'm not that superstitious

I'm not over-religious

But I spit the gospel with the quickness

Can I get a witness?

Nowadays we got a lot of snitches

[Outro]

All I'm doin' is dreamin'

All these diamonds doin' is gleamin'

All I'm doin' is dreamin'

All these diamonds doin' is gleamin'

All I'm doin' is dreamin'

All these diamonds doin' is gleamin'

All I'm doin' is dreamin'

All these diamonds  doin' is gleamin'
