I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want somebody to hold me, don't commit me
I'm just livin' lay back and hit the gong
This is California, sweet old California
Got the sunset from where we can lie and got me blowin' my head
Want somebody down with you, clown with you, ride around town with you
When the sun hit you, weed smokin'
Fuck him, take a shower with you, lay down with you
In the bed with you, off lickin'
Wide open, got me on my back with my thighs wide open
I stay wet, I don't need no lotion
Meet me in the back of the spot, love potion
Meet me in the sunshine state, west coastin'
Hit it from the side, fly by, sex motion
Do a drive-by, fly high, fuck boasted
Brat gold mine, we Marriott boatin'
In the sea fishin', Beverly Hill hoe, Beverly Hill pigeon
Beverly shoppin', Beverly men pickin'
Beverly hotel, Beverly sweet tippin'
Compton gang got Beverly men missin'
I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want somebody to hold me, don't commit me
I'm just livin' lay back and hit the gong
This is California, sweet old California
Got the sunset glow where we can lie
You got me blowin' like it's ooh
Niggas wanna hit it from the where
The reds spank me and pull my hair, yeah
Talk to me like you really care
I'm actin' all queer like you're Fred Astaire
You think I'm stupid, don't you?
You think I'ma lay down and let you stick me with your meat poker, don't you?
Mr. Swiss Smoker, you can come closer
You can come over, you can have a signed autograph on my poster
Drunk or sober, May or October
Come right over, rub my shoulders
Four-leaf clover, no gun holsters
Get fucked, wake up with a hangover
440, nothin' left when the game over
Wake up all alone, nights get colder
See you the next day, get a cold shoulder
I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want somebody to hold me, don't commit me
I'm just livin' lay back and hit the gong
This is California, sweet old California
I got the sunset room where we can lie down
Got me blowin' like
Let's get it on, we can be alone
Get it on in the freak zone
We can both get along when the heat's on
Look, we can both do wrong
It's been too long, I grew too strong
I got full blown and got my own
Got me alone, bought me a home
Order mines to go, bought me a Lolo
And a 6-4, sittin' on chrome
Datin' reals wrong, dipped in all gold
Roll with three hoes, pick up three more
Buy some endo, roll purple smoke
We all do the most, keep niggas close
Keep heat closer, avoid all vultures
Navigatin' like we supposed to
Sunshine, sunny state, California
I'm just ridin' and decidin' if I want somebody to hold me, don't commit me
I'm just dippin', laid back and hittin' cones
California, sweet old California
I got the sunset room where we can hide and
Got me blowin' like
