Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah I'm faded, fake faces
I erase 'em, California
That fragrance, mad payments
Fake places, California
I don't want to be the one that's left behind, I love the way, you lie
Tryna get my money bag straight this time, the hills is gon' decide
[Verse 2]
Ya, I don't know where I went wrong with you
I be driving 'round in Cali overthinking like I always do
If the love isn't real then I don't know what is true
Ya, I don't know where I went wrong with you
[Verse 3]
Okay, the worst part about me is it's never enough
Little shotty said she'd hit me but I'm calling her bluff
Roll the windows down while I'm rolling through tough
While I'm in the town will you show me some love
Well ya California dreams turn to nightmares now
I can hear the scream through the silence now
Baby, don't you leave where you just lied down with me on the ground
I see constellations spelling out your name
I just used my heart and not my brain
Push to start and do what Simon say so I can give it to you any day
[Verse 4]
Ya, I don't know where I went wrong with you
I be driving 'round in Cali overthinking like I always do
If the love isn't real then I don't know what is true
Ya, I don't know where I went wrong with you
[Verse 5]
Yeah you made it, you've been anxious
But you made it, California
Conversations, till the sun rise
When you stop by, California
I don't want to be the one that's left behind, I love the way, you lie
I don't wanna be the one to lose my mind, I know you know
[Verse 6]
Somebody put some brakes on me, I really need rest on me
Pops callin' up every couple days I'm smiling so he could think I'm straight
Why can't I tell the truth (Woo)
Playing J Cole back then, with a clear end goal, like it all made sense
I needed myself and nobody else, okay, let's go
From how it looks, man, it's hard to complain
Man, I just been praying that when I get older that I got some smile in me that can remain
My money is long but I got some new issues that feel like it's longer than government names
Man, all I could wish is the mask that I wear and the face that's below it is looking the same
[Verse 7]
[Verse 8]
Moneymaking, while we're breaking
It's amazing, California
Celebrate it, or berate it
It's been fated, California
Oh Maria, the hills are swarming
With dead ends and the bots performing
Don't mistake it, you can break big
Till you get sick
[Verse 9]
Shut the fuck up, don't wake another neighbor
I don't know you and I don't want to later
Praying to God I never run out of His favor
But we don't make the textbooks on our best behavior, do we?
I'm the antihero of my own damn movie
All my exes write songs that I'm based on loosely
Take after my ma, I can be choosy, I can be choosy
And when the sky looks like a painting
That's when you look down
[Verse 10]
And baby, yeah, I wish I didn't know ya
Real or fake, California I'ma hold ya
