[INTRO: Sto-ik The Poet]
Yea...Haha, yea man
I love my people, I love my city
Most of all: I love my state, Cali baby
IEMC
[VERSE 1: Sto-ik The Poet]
In California, every night's a holiday
I never understood it, that's just how we operate
Sometimes there's only so much sh** that you can tolerate
But what if it was you and it wasn't Natalee Holloway?
The sunset over Cali, is like a wormhole
A place where we make the face of d**h turn purple
Signaling the h*mo sapien disco-inferno
Automatically for anybody, that is nocturnal [sh**]
The city lights paint the sky like gold
Pourin' shots of liquor, matchin' every lie that was told
A blunt rolled to follow the road and decipher the code
On the pursuit of happiness, under the ambient glow [so what]
Somethin' about it, must me livin' inside me
The nightlife always has me feelin' so lively
sh** if I could tell a cop f** off nicely
Then I'd do it every time they drive right behind me
HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet & Jake Arthur]
In the nightlife
It's beautiful if you ask me
Even though the crooked cops always hara** me
In the nightlife
Like no other place on Earth
Come close and get a taste of it first
In the California nightlife, nightlife
In the California nightlife, nightlife
In the California nightlife, nightlife
In the California nightlife, nightlife
In the nightlife
[VERSE 2: Bugsy]
Yo check it
Young promiscuous Cali street lyricist
Raised in the hood like a muhf**in cli*oris
Without stimulation motivated by reverberations
Of the hunger-pains inside my stomach achin', never patient
Waitin' for a sign, there's only sirens right behind me
Choose my actions wise, the consequences could be pricey
f** around and get checked like a Cortez Nike
Man we in Cali kickin' it like we cross-trained in Tai Chi
Obviously, there's a issue with who the best is
We stayed continuously doing what the best did
As if, we ain't givin' you the best sh**
We raise the bar, like that test they exam lawyers with
And for the petty sh**: forever I don't sympathize
First thing in survival is: you have to learn to improvise
To make use of the sh** that you s**as made useless
Much needed rap game home improvement b**h

It's beautiful if you ask me

In the California nightlife, nightlife
In the California nightlife, nightlife
In the nightlife
[VERSE 3: LSD]
California's tattooed in my skin
A bonfire at the beach, me, the crew and some friends
Couple laughs, lift your gla**, stand, salute and attend
Enjoy the moment like you'll never get do it again. (you never know)
Appreciation's what it mean to be spoiled
Feeling grateful that we ever set our feet on this soil
It's a blessing I believe and soon conceded the point
That this was meant to be enjoyed and happiness is a choice
Let the moonlight trickle line tremble your voice
That California Night Life has rea**embled the noise
We finna crank it, as much as you can take it
Really ain't a problem til the cops are called in common confrontation
Take the time to place some cuffs up on your wrist below your waist
And drop you down onto your knees then take his foot across your face damn
At that point there isnt't much you can say
Just another crazy day in Californ-I-A!
