[Anacron] This the California that you don't yet know Once you get a grasp on it, you won't let go There's more than you have seen On television screens And these the things that make us so West Coast I'm so L.A In ways y'all ain't even know L.A DIS4, Venice Shore all day But KDubb kept me cool with the OFA's Lower Ladera was my home base Where the light-skinned, middle cla** Black folk stay Only 10 minutes away from Leimert Park Where Crenshaw cultivated culture and art Proud brown Bohemes were my role-models So I took the word of Watts Prophets out to Chicago But I'm L.A. all day, with 'nuff bravado Avocado tilapia tacos in a Murcielago Chorus [Mr. Dope America] Yeah, Cali got surfer b**hes Blonde babes in bikinis Up and down the beaches But whatchu know about Armenians Fine a** Glendale Gallerinians Look it up, get your Wikipedi in See me in Zankou, Garlic sauce on my chickian But what about the Mexicans that listen to The Smiths Oldies is cool but Rockabilly is how they dress Here in California Art Laboe is still the lik I dedicate this song with all my corazon and sh** When I'm up in Humboldt I ain't trying to smoke Blueberry donuts to the neck from Don's loc Chorus [Z-Man] Like the Bay Area, diverse and innovative I'm a free-thinker, real San Francisco native You from the East Coast, Midwest, or Dirty South Moving out West to get away 'cause you been dreaming about Changing your life? Right here in the city with me Come and see me in The Tenderloin Where it's cultural, gritty, grimy - Find me eating Vietnamese, puffing trees in the streets right in front of police If you a native we knowin Knowin Fijians, Indians, Samoans Orange and Black, far up the Pacific Ocean in fact The population's growin' and growin' and growin' and growin' Like a Redwood or Sequoia, you know what I'm talkin'bout mane? You need to come out here, mane, know what I'm talkin'bout... Chorus
