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]
L.A. Westside mama scared most of the time
Looking behind, what's this so called life
Shawty run my other phone, yeah
Fake faces gotta cut 'em off, yeah
Fake faces they don't problem solve, yeah
My faith is from the cameras, yeah
[Verse 3]
Flash flash, I'ma take the pictures for my fam, damn
Show 'em I've made it, flashbacks
To the pictures from way back
The kids were like who's that, who's that?
Now I do Hollywood, yeah
Copies everywhere like a walkie talkie
I'ma run the lobby, Speak to nobody
San Gabriel Valley, I might crash your party like
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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)
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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 8]
Like oh-oh, ooh
You've been in this fight, I could see it in your eyes
[Verse 9]
Like oh-oh, ooh
I made up my mind, I don't wanna waste no time
[Verse 10]
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 11]
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?
[Verse 12]
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
[Verse 13]
And when the sky looks like a painting
That's when you look down
[Verse 14]
California (Money making while we're breaking)
California (But you made it, California)
California (Yeah, I'm faded, fake faces)
California (But you made it, California)
California
