Soon I’ll Be In Cali Lyrics

[Intro]
Just surround me with beautiful women and art
Just surround me with beautiful women and art
I'll get twisted up, I'll get twisted up
Just surround me, just surround me

[Verse 1]
Just surround me with beautiful women and art
I'll get twisted up like the lid on a jar
My life's sweeter than cinnamon buns, man
Swimming in funds, man, isn't it fun, man?

But I ain't really one man, still a boy
Guess something that I do gets kooch really noise
And they seem to enjoy all my silly ploys
So I had to tell my old chick to go Illinois
Now I been out here on my chase for skrilla
Trying to get paper like a laser printer
Head's thicker than timber is, knock wood
It's good not to mind, but mine is not good at times
But I live with the spiders and the rats
In a run-down mansion, hiding, writing raps
In fact, I'm not even normal in the head
Never catch my disease, it's horrible to get


[Chorus]
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
It's what I'm coming around to tell you
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
I don't wanna stay, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna say, I don't really know
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
[Verse 2]
My home wasn't my home once I've left it
But everything's worth it, 'F' requires effort
Had to be agony, the age-old method
To improve the future by ruining your present
Feel like nothing but real life could heal me
And I'm not sure if I can feel but I will be
Soon enough, who to trust? I am merely the
Innocent party in the cell full of guilty
You could throw away the key, but I will
Bend the bars, and find a way to leave
And I was never much, no one ever rated me
But soon I'll be in Cali, man, you just wait and see
I don't need faith from you, just space from you
Left my bitches behind but I'll meet a few
Packing my shit, I'm on my way, Californ-i-a

[Chorus]
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
It's what I'm coming around to tell you
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
I don't wanna stay, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna stay, I don't really know
Man, soon I'll be in Cali

[Verse 3]
Everybody watches onto my little pond
Small town glory, it's not what I really want
I'm looking for the big city warmth
And the lights and the glow and it's inching me forth
Don't mind my mind, well, I'm sick of my thoughts
'Cause I don't wanna go but I'm sticking to my course
And now I'm on my own shit, all alone shit
So I can either own shit or follow my own shit
In my mind's eye, I can see my faith waiting
I must make haste and leave the safe haven behind
And I won't always be fine like a late fee
I'm going to yearn for the life I'm escaping
And probably cry in bed alone, saying, "Get me home"
Weep like a bitch to my mum through the telephone
I can see it already, so clear
But I'mma do it anyway, no fear
[Chorus]
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
It's what I'm coming around to tell you
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
I don't wanna stay, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna say, I don't really know
Man, soon I'll be in Cali

[Outro]
I'm so Hollywood
I'm so Santa Cruz
I'm so Venice Beach
I'm so Malibu
Man, soon I'll be in Cali
