kalifornia i first saw my baby on the subway train on my way home from a cue in white plains a pretty young thing brown eyes and skin clean with the poise of a queen though she was only 15 and i was 16 my mind was in a swirl and by the looks of this girl i was a peasant who did not have a chance or a prayer in the world just another nigga with them rasta curls so she on the train did avoid me sick to her brain assumin i would most likely be a hustler i said fuck it she could never like me or much less love i knew she was special never all of the above and then i closed my eyes to envision me and her as one on a california beach in the sun when i opened my eyes yo the train ride was done i glanced her way only to receive nothing in return knowing that one day i would earn a chance with this woman trapped in a teen s body i would play america you could be john gotti i m sayin i was trapped when i turned my head chorus you re my lady a whole year went by without seeing her once it seemed that ev ery day was as long as a month and now it seemed days eternally it s she i want but also to be an mc is what i wanted to earn a dollar every other girl seemed sour the only thing i pictured in my mind was my with kalifornia sunshine i told my niggas in time that girl would be mine they called me crazy assumin that i was mad lazy and lacked the monetary assets plus my style was not sanitary cause everybody knew she was fly with fitness being witness to her once a year was cool fuck christmas when i brought it up my niggas dismissed ignoring the mockery i kept it locked in my mind tightly kalifornia you remind me yo i didn t have my niggas behind me but then you were taken anyway forcing me to postpone plan a kali forn i ay chorus from a distance analyzed my prey with persistence comin up with a system it was straight a phone call around eight conversate for a while to find up the whole time it was a mutual attraction and that news was old i m in bliss apparently she was watchin me and expected we to probably be as coherent as the east coast and west coast be a b boy s dream the serene yin to my yang that was ragin i was amazed this was all happenin before a nigga got paid and after the storm cleared from his parade now there ain t such a thing as stress she got my back and with that i know how it s blessed a nigga who figured that the search wouldn t start for another few years i would just stay apart in love with the triple x heiny and hennessy but now you remind me kalifornia memory chorus saukrates niggas of sin figures of speech
