Before Cali Lyrics by Benjamin Elias

Prana

0

(Chorus)
I got Cali on the mind
Finna blow like the all time
Ilmatic in my speakers
So I know the world's mine
Intervention was divine
Like I swear, I could've died
But everything I been through
Made me really pick a side
I had Cali on the mind
Finna blow like the all time
Ilmatic in my speakers
So I know the world's mine
Intervention was divine
Like I swear, I could've died
But everything I been through
Made me really fucking wise
(Vеrse 1)
Had bad days
Bad nights
Bad dreams, it was a bad life
But I'm back on likе damn right
With my boys we band like we Beastie
Those bad vibes they cannot reach me
This dark flow
Reminds me of Darko
Not talking bout Meechie
Addicted to you, so I feel like Avicci
The state with the peaches trees
Is where I be dreaming to go
It takes one to know
Life hits you fast but the process is slow
Make progress like woah
When did that happen, been following passion
Confused by distractions, that make me imagine
A life that is stagnant, but I will not have it
No I will not
(Chorus)
I got Cali on the mind
Finna blow like the all time
Ilmatic in my speakers
So I know the world's mine
Intervention was divine
Like I swear, I could've died
But everything I been through
Made me really pick a side
I had Cali on the mind
Finna blow like the all time
Ilmatic in my speakers
So I know the world's mine
Intervention was divine
Like I swear, I could've died
But everything I been through
Made me really fucking wise
(Verse 2)
All my of my life I been running and ducking
Confronting my past like demons are nothing
Was smoking and hoping that I could be something
That I could be someone, who leads the discussion
Knew I was dope but I didn't see what was the point
Damn I was missing the point, dim out the noise
Never had doubts but I didn't see ways to avoid
All the setbacks that were in front me
Didn't see they were inside me
Not a Gemini but got to two sides me
I love to drink and I love sobriety
Raise a glass, and I do it quietly
Run the mouth they could never quiet me
I ain't rich, but I'm high society
In the stud, that's where you find me
But I'm just a dude, training to make it through
Learn the pattern, like a Rubix cube
Just be you, that's the truest truth
I been breaking loose, never faking moves
I got things to prove, so I change the groove
One rule is every day improve
Plant a tree and I cannot wait 'til it's bearing fruit
(Chorus)
I got Cali on the mind
Finna blow like the all time
Ilmatic in my speakers
So I know the world's mine
Intervention was divine
Like I swear, I could've died
But everything I been through
Made me really pick a side
I had Cali on the mind
Finna blow like the all time
Ilmatic in my speakers
So I know the world's mine
Intervention was divine
Like I swear, I could've died
But everything I been through
Made me really fucking wise
