BANDED FUTURE
"California Dreamin'"
Written by Zap Rath and Jericho Law
Intro
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Chorus
Don't wake me up, just let me lie
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't bring me down, I wanna fly
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't wake me up, just let me lie
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't bring me down, I wanna fly
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Verse 1
Yo, all I need is pretty women and some palm trees
Fruit cup, Tajin and a cool breeze
Like avocado, we rollin' down Colorado to
Downtown, top down, new keys
Got the weather feelin' heavenly
Ain't comin' out the house for nothin' under 70
Yo, all it takes is a catchy little melody, now
Everybody thinkin' that I'm a celebrity, I don't know
Paparazzi at the house, I'm gated
Hard work is the price, I paid it
Got a little lost in the sauce, but I never
gave up, man I'm really glad that I waited
Now I'm shaded, sippin' on my juice
I got a little change, so I hired a masseuse
She like a hundred pounds, but she make my back crack
I feel like Diddy in this city yellin' take that, take that, ah!
Chorus
Don't wake me up, just let me lie
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't bring me down, I wanna fly
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't wake me up, just let me lie
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't bring me down, I wanna fly
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Verse 2
Yo, ain't nobody handed us this, 10 years ago
Weren't nobody dancin' to this, they said wait outside the
Club, cuz you ain't on the list, now we got trophies on the
Shelf, and they gettin' the gist, 20K in the
Bank, cuz we held up a fist, if we didn't mention
Lennon, we would sure be remiss, California roll
Hip hop with a twist, surfs up, switch it
Up with a flick of the wrist
Chris Rockin' this mic, serrated
Slap me in the face, but my will's not jaded
Headshot goin' in the trash, tell casting
That I can't make it, cuz I already made it, I'm
Already hated, already debated
Anticipated, deflated, over and underrated
Faded and reinstated in the California drought
2 decs in the game, knocked out
Chorus
Don't wake me up, just let me lie
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't bring me down, I wanna fly
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't wake me up, just let me lie
(California dreamin')
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
Don't bring me down, I wanna fly
(California dreamin')
Cuz I'm California dreamin' California dreamin'
