Socal The weather's warm The women's wet And it's just good juju And there's something Something There's something in the pacific Come jump in Jump in Let's get dripping Dripping Do you got the braids in it Or dipped with the waves spinning There's a splash to be made n*ggas So go ahead a bathe in it C'mon You know the play its C-A all day Forever Inspired By my God Yahweh The name brings the same theme as the Valley of the Kings On a winning streak Finna tally all my rings Built a dynasty did not need to sweat in warm ups trust me Top dog eating all ya'll hush puppies Smelling like kibble Eventually chewed depending my mood Might guzzle an 8-ball  Then piss in the pool Do it all for the sh*ts and giggles More soul in my pinky toe whenever it wiggles The flow of these rappers got me thinking of skittles Rainbows coming out they mouth  Whenever they spittles Overdose for a pot of gold coming up shorter than a leprechaun riddle Be murdering the game without an acquittal I get a$$es in seats then receipts in masses n*gga       There's something in the pacific Come jump in Jump in Let's get dripping Dripping Do you got the braids in it Or dipped with the waves spinning There's a splash to be made n*ggas So go ahead a bathe in it C'mon We never gave a f*ck  Go head run it up We never gave a f*ck  Go head run it up Flood the streets year round no umbrellas Pump the culture with this gas Till my wallet fill up The ex with the a$$ on her break by the water cooler Bragging F.Y.I. smashed Still wish she knew me Memoirs of ruined groupie Cali n*gga gamed up it's a call of duty Literally Mid-City to Italy Gucci knows I'm the moolie Moodier than Paul Mooney Swipe up when I see n*ggas on TMZ cooning Before quarantine my team been bout zooming A commodore on wave of not accommodating whores Roll the tape make a human smore Keke Palmer spiced with Mila Kunis Truth is used to be team no sleep running in dark circles Now I'm wide awake with a purposes Splash      There's something in the pacific Come jump in Jump in Let's get dripping Dripping Do you got the braids in it Or dipped with the waves spinning There's a splash to be made n*ggas So go ahead a bathe in it C'mon

Dear God its been hella hard since we talked last  Was sleep on Hollywood Blvd. I swear you just walked past  You know I don't like Abilify but between you and I  I'm married to self-pity cheating with thoughts of suicide Day dreaming of long rides me and Moms lived by CSUN She helped with me math at night we laughing at some re-runs Good Times in my memory Sorry this fenty got me making up  How we be speaking every weekend  Two years ago found about her diabetes ain't recent  Oh Lord next time I get an Obama phone help her to be at home Still alive so I can tell her something decent  Passed by a church the other day heard the pastor say I'm in crisis cause my life is Christ-less In the role of a beggar I'm done being a type cast them high class Bougie counselors talk down on me and type fast Resurrect me from the streets God I want my life back no more thankless jobs ignoring pleas John 3:16 You paid the price still feel like I paying fees Remember I was on knees in front of the Supper Club  Begging for food I hope I'm not too late I pray I'm not too soon You are my starship Come take me up tonight And don't be late Yes you are my starship Come take me up tonight And don't be late And don't you come to soon Dear God it's been about five years since I checked in When my life was a nightmare definitely thought You slept in No weapon formed against me will succeed true indeed You silenced every voice that blamed me in the streets  The lady screaming in front of the GNC calling LAPD Saying I did something fishy Showed'em I had enough money to get Omega 3s Heartless bitch had it out for any guy She couldn't see my change only viewed me as Pennywise Blemish to society she eyeing me to spot crime Forcing rap sheets instead of resources with hotlines Then the seasons changed a new day came I started to get mine Got some work as a stocking clerk shout out to Goodwill Hope the Crenshaw Cowboys of the world make it out the hood still Cried the first time dinner was in my living room Then I woke up still in front of the Supper Club begging for food I hope I'm not too late I pray I'm not too soon You are my starship Come take me up tonight And don't be late Yes you are my starship Come take me up tonight And don't be late And don't you come to soon You are my starship Come take me up tonight And don't be late Yes you are my starship Come take me up tonight And don't be late And don't you come to soon

Whatever day or season There could be a million reasons The struggle knocks you out Undefeated Sh*t happens Foulness all around me is pollution Then I realize Problems have solutions I feel it deep down in my soul I feel it deep down in my soul I know I feel it deep down in my soul In my soul God knows that Problems have Solution needed waiting in the hospital room The devil tempting me today is the gospel really true Cried to snot in the parking lot emotions welled up Harpooned with bad news January 21st supposed to be playing speeches of King's dreams Next to my queen's belly h Hardly could stomach the sympathy from the doctors and nurses First time in my life I was stuck on some verses One second wait a minute Did we kill somebody on the run from our shame Blaming each other like co-defendants The real is she stopped taking the pill Now we gotta deal with the fact the seed never took root Ok God put a pause on scenery for the nursery First date to sit in wait in pajamas and a pistol Just in case a little n*gga gets disrespectful Shout out to the fathers that's far from neglectful Let'em know the man that you is Only goats around is the ones raising a kid Want one in the best way Can't wait for the middle of the week for a hump day Been working on solutions Whatever day or season There could be a million reasons The struggle knocks you out Undefeated Sh*t happens Foulness all around me is pollution Then I realize Problems have solutions I feel it deep down in my soul I feel it deep down in my soul I know I feel it deep down in my soul In my soul God knows that Problems have Solutions not computing times running out for being PC A cracker pointing a mac at my head To get me permanently sleepy Convinced at ain't laying down for a dirt nap Running mouth to get my angel wings out a bird trap On vacay in F-L-A he trying to make me M-I-A I remain cool like I know'em  He talking shit holding scrotum  Backed up far enough to read his moves like I wrote'em Yes from what I could guess this neo-Nazi's pressed to test A citizen's arrest Hate grew over years It's either him or me We ain't finna be cool over beers Before he hunts me down like a foolish ass deer Not trying to slay a man like I'm Prancer For the fam I'll turn this '66 Impala into an antler Yeah bruh out of nowhere  A cop pulled up looking like Chancelor Bennet Gave me chance to rap my mind around this fiasco for a minute They hooked him and booked him He was gone in 60 seconds Cop told me the charges they was pressing Weight lifted off my shoulders Lived another day to see my baby getting older Solutions Whatever day or season There could be a million reasons The struggle knocks you out Undefeated Sh*t happens Foulness all around me is pollution Then I realize Problems have solutions I feel it deep down in my soul I feel it deep down in my soul I know I feel it deep down in my soul In my soul God knows that Problems have
