BB
It's a Reality check from the streets of Southern California

Hand on the mic till we decide about the sick life

D MajorD
California where I raised till this very day
E MajorE
Hell to pay for the ways of the blaze
BB
Everyday a hundred miles an hour
BB
Cause my soul's been devoured
D MajorD
Never looked up above and push came to shove
E MajorE
As it usually does, keepin' with these thugs
BB
Doin' all of these drugs with no means of direction
BB
Infection, but here's my objection

Verse (0:46)

D MajorD
Rejection by your whole congregation
E MajorE
With no empathy for my situation
BB
No place in society that's my reality
BB
Angry don't know who's the enemy
D MajorD
I'm in deep, underneath the streets
E MajorE
It's hard to creep from city to city
With all these hitters and the heat
BB
Killin' me stealin from me, makes no sense to me
BB
So I keep it tight with the homies in the family

We're all smokin, tryin' broken homes

Chokin' locos, for pesos, slingin' dope by the case os

Smokin' cocos, laced with dope and opium

Cities for niggaz causin' fuckin' pandemonium

Born and raised in the golden state
Don't invite no plates servin' up some dinner

There's no solution for these county criminal minds
BB
Just subliminal rhymes, hypnotizing mankind
