Saukrates - Kalifornia lyrics

[Saukrates] Kalifornia I first saw my baby on the Subway train On my way home from a cue in White Plains A pretty young thing, brown eyes and skin clean With the poise of a queen though she was only 15 And I was 16, my mind was in a swirl And by the looks of this girl, I was a peasant Who did not have a chance or a prayer in the world Just another n***a with them rasta curls So she on the train did avoid me Sick to her brain a**umin' I would most likely be A hustler, I said f** it, she could never like me Or much less love I knew she was special, never all of the above And then I closed my eyes to envision me and her as one On a California beach in the sun When I opened my eyes, yo, the train ride was done I glanced her way, only to receive nothing in return Knowing that one day I would earn A chance with this woman trapped in a teen's body I would play America, you could be John Gotti, I'm sayin... I was trapped when I turned my head CHORUS [Saukrates] "You're My Lady" [-- D'Angelo Kalifornia, Kalifornia You remind me, You remind me "You're My Lady" [-- D'Angelo Kalifornia, Kalifonia You remind me, You remind me "You're my lady" [-- D-Angelo Kalifornia, Kalifornia You remind me, You remind me "You're My Lady" [-- D'Angelo Kalifornia, Kalifonia You remind me, You remind me [Saukrates] A whole year went by without seeing her once It seemed that ev-ery day was as long as a month And now it seemed days eternally, it's she I want But also to be an MC is what I wanted To earn a dollar, every other girl seemed sour The only thing I pictured in my mind was my with Kalifornia sunshine I told my n***as in time, that girl would be mine They called me crazy, a**umin' that I was mad lazy And lacked the monetary Assets, plus my style was not sanitary 'Cause everybody knew she was fly with fitness Being witness to her once a year was cool f** Christmas When I brought it up my n***as dismissed Ignoring the mockery I kept it locked in my mind tightly Kalifornia you remind me Yo, I didn't have my n***as behind me But then, you were taken anyway Forcing me to postpone plan A Kali-forn-i-ay... CHORUS [Saukrates] From a distance an*lyzed my prey with persistence Comin' up with a system It was straight, a phone call around eight Conversate for a while to find up The whole time it was a mutual attraction And that news was old I'm in bliss apparently she was watchin' me And expected we to probably be As coherent as the East Coast and West Coast be A B-Boy's dream, the serene yin to my yang that was ragin' I was amazed, this was all happenin' before a n***a got paid And after the storm cleared from his parade Now, there ain't such a thing as stress She got my back, and with that I know how it's blessed A n***a who figured that the search wouldn't start For another few years I would just stay apart In love with the Triple X, Heiny and Hennessy But now you remind me, Kalifornia memory... CHORUS Saukrates n***as of sin, Figures of Speech
