California Dreamin Lyrics by Eric West

Conception

2019

[Intro]
We all just wanna live right
We all just tryna live nice
We all got dreams that we wanna fulfill
We all just tryna make it to the top of that hill
[Verse 1]
I know what it's like to wake up grateful that you is alive
But not sure that you're living your best life
Maybe at night you be freezin', but you're still breathin'
But somehow it still don't feel right
Work is tough, but 9 to 5 ain't enough
To buy you that car that you really, really want
We just tryna get paid so that maybe one day
We can dine at five star restaurants
Imagine that, no more shitty food only gourmet
Food even better than your mom makes
Quarter pound burgers with the mushrooms sautéed
Better than anything y'all taste
And who could forget the brand new whip
Like a Corvette with stick-shift
Or a golden caddy while you're rollin up a fatty
Whatever we just tryna get rich
[Hook]
We California dreamin'
We California dreamin'
We California dreamin'
We California dreamin'
[Verse 2]
Better life for ourselves we're all tryna make
Put our pasts on the shelves and leave em in the wake
Of a new way of livin' where you ain't gotta thank
About how much you got left in the bank
Picture me rollin like a fat boy on skates on his way to get himself some cake
Yeah sticks and stones may break my bones, but money tells em "Go ahead and hate"
But I wanna do it right, not by sellin' ice, just so I can try to get paid
That's how you throw away your life and never see the light
And your parents gotta live with the pain
But that ain't on me, so do whatever suits ya
Just try to build a better future
The hustle I ain't new to
We out here makin' more moves than the Kama Sutra
[Hook]
We California dreamin'
We California dreamin'
We California dreamin'
We California dreamin'
