[Verse 1: Masta Ace]
Aiyo I'm going back to Cali
To all the ladies in the valley
And the weather more beautiful than Halle
And I done been all through the hood
My boy Dougie D, man he took me on a tour through the hood
Slauson swap meet, Crenshaw, stop, eat
Then go to Melrose, cop a pair of shelltoes
Then I'm jumpin' on the 5-North
Then I gas up, then I drive off
To the Bay, oh how I love it in the Bay
Same way I love it in LA
I get a lot of love up on Hate Street
Folks look up to me like I'm 8 feet tall
Aiyo the West Coast got it all
And every time I go, man I have a ball
Fun times, sunshine, that's right up my alley
That's why I'm going back to Cali
[Hook: Pav Bundy]
I'll be back, for now I'm gone
You know what they say, no place like home
I'm keeping my girls in my phone
Worldwide I be all in my zone
C'est la vie, c'est la vie
Adios, adios
Au revoir, au revior
Cheerio
Home sweet home
[Verse 2: Masta Ace]
Hey yo, I'm going back to Paris, France
And I must say, that you really should go if you have a chance
The culture, the music, the art
The food, the people, they real to the heart
This is genuine love, this is not a act
And I couldn'ta put it down on a hotter track
I hear a lot of cats talk a lotta smack
But I lost six G's, and I got it back
How real is that? Thinking the utmost
Respect from me against the world full of cut-throats
How could I lose a grip like that?
In a crowded sports bar and get it right back (I don't know)
It's like no place I ever went
And this'll be the biggest shout that I ever sent
To any city that I ever flew through
Merci beaucoup, I salute you
[Hook: Pav Bundy]
[Verse 3: Masta Ace]
I'm going back to the Netherlands
Switzerland, Finland, Deutschland, and the motherland
I'm going back to Jo-Burg, back to Cape Town
Back to Sydney, oh what a great town
Let me break down where I'm going back to
If I been through, I want to come back through
And like a tattoo, I would stay permanent
But my love for the road don't determine it
[Hook: Pav Bundy]
