1
California ain't a state it's a army!
2
[Verse 1]
3
One fuckin' nigga in the projects killin'
4
The same motherfucker that would burn down the village
5
Where the niggas blunt full of that
6
You know, who gone take you back to Compton In that 64 two door
7
Sub woofers in the trunk kickin' that lethal injection
8
A hood nigga lost with no direction
9
So he bought a Black Smith and Wesson
10
Strapped on his vest and that's his protection
11
At the intersection waitin' on the robber
12
Cause in the city of Angels it's all about survival,
13
Motherfuck the 5-0, They wanna see you DOA, welcome to L.A.
14
Where the ghetto birds flyin' over my auntie's and my cousin's house
15
Tell me what they buzzin' bout
16
The little homie got smoked on the corner
17
And now his momma cryin', dead in California
18
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
19
Motherfuckers ain't gone learn,
20
Till the chronic blunt don't burn
21
And you can't see nuthin' but the ghetto bird light shinin'
22
Through the fuckin' palm trees,
23
California ain't a state it's a army
24
Jumped in my impala took a trip to the swap meat,
25
The scoop bought EGO trippin' and some white T's
26
Cause some niggas in my old hood don't like me
27
Time to put the niggas on check, like my Nike's
28
Shoulda heard my my nigga Mack 10 on the chirp
29
All I need is me and my bitch,
30
If you scared go to church,
31
Cause in California niggas crack heads for the turf
32
And life ain't nothin' but Teck-9's and dirt
33
Dippin' through the the jungles, my Escalade hit a dip
34
Here come the gorillas in the mist
35
And they dressed like Ice Cube was in 96
36
Stone cold jerry curl and not one drip
37
I sleep with the worms before I swim with the fish
38
And I ride with my niggas before I roll with a bitch
39
If it don't make dollars it don't make sense
40
And I almost got shot because I hit a fence
41
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
42
Call the U.S. government and tell em it's a mutherfuckin' code red,
43
Niggas tried to straight up jack me and now they both dead
44
Third little nigga got away on his mo-ped
45
Caught him 'round the corner put the beam on his forehead
46
Jumped in the impala then smashed through the light
47
Without a one time in sight,
48
So I bust a right on Century headed to the L.A.X.
49
Where there ain't nothin' but fly bitches and checks
50
In and out of lanes and I almost wrecked
51
Off Brand a nigga in the 600 throwin up his set
52
He must don't know I got the 40 on deck
53
And the teck tryin' be Shot but it ain't time to flex
54
It's the third this shit happened to me all day
55
Guess it's time to add another dead body to the throw away
56
So I turned down my Spice 1 tape and hit the switch
57
Emptied the whole clip in his fuckin' face
58
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
59
California ain't a state it's a army!
