californication

Came to the Silicon Valley through the Silk Road
We was trapping all the spices out the Bando
Rali Records CEO, I'm on the payroll, yeah yeah
I was paranoid like wild cats around the sleeper
Wondering if through the grass, can they really see us
Keep a knife tucked around ankle in my sneakers, ay
I'm dodging all the creatures

I feel like the Pharaoh of the east side
But life changed since I been on this side
The rodeo was made for equestrians
But all my life, I was a pedestrian
I finally got the car, learned how to drive
I finally got the girl, I learned how to ride
But now I'm staring down at my elements
Like how do I conquer this new residence

Ay, California
I'm in the 90210, bumping Channel Orange
Speakers knocking like I'm reborn, Marvin, Otis
We moving in, boxes carried on my brother's shoulders
Ay, yeah, brown leather on the sofa
I'm sleeping on it underneath the Travis Scott poster
Couple games on the Xbox with no controller
Ay, yeah, get money when the phone ring

I feel like the Pharaoh of the east side
But life changed since I been on this side
The rodeo was made for equestrians
But all my life, I was a pedestrian
I finally got the car, learned how to drive
I finally got the girl, I learned how to ride
But now I'm staring down at my elements
Like how do I conquer this new residence

I spent the last year in slumber
Dodging all the foes that been tryna put me under
Making all these hoes single file for my number
Bringing back the thunder, yeah yeah
Got to keep a lethal weapon in this dark town
Los Angeles never had a angel 'round
Rali Records empire, it's not satirical
There's a written down formula for miracles

I feel like the Pharaoh of the east side
But life changed since I been on this side
The rodeo was made for equestrians
But all my life, I was a pedestrian
I finally got the car, learned how to drive
I finally got the girl, I learned how to ride
But now I'm staring down at my elements
Like how do I conquer this new residence

Spend all my time out here fornicating
Spend a little money, take a weed vacation
The camera faded, the shots adjacent
But we could take another polaroid and frame it
In outer space, California spaceship
Even if they made in a Hollywood basement
If Cobain could hear the new sounds we making
I'd run and tell Kurt that he's my inspiration

I feel like the Pharaoh of the east side
But life changed since I been on this side
The rodeo was made for equestrians
But all my life, I was a pedestrian
I finally got the car, learned how to drive
I finally got the girl, I learned how to ride
But now I'm staring down at my elements
Like how do I conquer this new residence

When you sleep tonight
I'll be in your dreams
This time around
This lonely town has no escape
You're living a lie that is so divine
When I'm getting high, I stay in my zone
In my mind, you are on the throne

My dream state
Has awoken me
In this life
You are all I need
My dream state
Has awoken me
In this life
You are all I need

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody knows
All the things that we've been through
Now I'm sitting here watching you
Baby I'm so in love with you
So in love with you
Now you're sitting here watching me
Give your body ecstasy
So good we can't believe
So in love with you
With you, with you

My dream state
Has awoken me
In this life
You are all I need
