Palmdale Lyrics - The Good Times - Afroman

Yeah, yeah, just like bums we used to stay 

In the slums of la by the way 

Gang bangers killin' each other for rep 

Sellin' rock cocaine on my doorstep 

Had a ball to bounce plus a bike to ride 

But my mamma never would let me play outside 

But when I got enrolled in elementary school 

Started bangin' like a fucking fool 

So cool throwin' up gang signs to the gangster beat 

Shot an enemy from across the street 

Mamma came home, said she got a good job 

Daddy did too, now they don't squab 

Financially, we improvin' 

2 months later, son, we movin' 

No more duckin' from shotgun shells 

Bought a two-story house in east palmdale 

Give it to me now 

Palmdale 

(Hell yeah) 

Come back to me 

(I need you and I love you, baby) 

Palmdale, come back to me 

(Check it out, check it out, check it out) 

No more rats and no more roaches 

Livin' next door to football coaches 

Now I got a new place to sell me crack 

Now I got little white kids to jack 

I stopped wearin' blue, wasn't trippin' on red 

Too busy squabbin' with the skinheads 

Stupid questions, distract the class 

Rubbin' little white girls on the ass 

I didn't really care if I passed or failed 

I knew I was headed for the NFL 

Until the playoff game, shoulder got hurt 

I thought about my future, layin' in the dirt 

I can't jump, I can't flinch 

Superstar player, ridin' the bench 

Graduate from school don't make me laugh 

I got an F plus in basic math, give it to me now 

Palmdale 

(Hell yeah) 

Come back to me 

(I gotta do one song for my neighborhood) 

Palmdale, come back to me 

(Check it out) 

I knew I couldn't make it in the white man's world 

So I bought me some khakis and a geri curl 

I knew I couldn't make it to the NFL 

I went to east palmdale and started slingin' yeyo 

Fo' sho' I was makin' crazy dough 

Shoulda dropped outta school a long time ago 

Bought a cell phone, like a nut 

Now I deliver like pizza hut 

I drunk whiskey and Bacardi, I sold dope to anybody 

Me and my homies sold dubs and dimes 

Took turns bustin' rhymes just to pass the time 

A white man drove up to my spot 

He said, "Hey, homeboy, what you got?" 

I put a fat rock inside his hand 

And about 25 sheriffs jumped out the van get down, punk 

Palmdale 

(Hell, yeah) 

Come back to me 

(I need you and I love you, baby) 

Palmdale, come back to me 

(Check it out, check it out, check it out) 

Can't get drunk, can't get blunted 

LA county, 95 hundred 

Crips wanna take my all-stars 

Bloods wanna eat my snicker bars 

Them pecker woods don't want none 

But the Mexicans straight own one 

Them essays, catorces, treces always try to test me 

So I jumped off the bed 'cause I ain't no punk 

Jammed his head up against the bunk 

Socked that cholo in his chin 

Black muthafucking scared to jump in 

Sheriff broke it up when we hit the floor 

I kept talkin' shit 'cause I want some more 

Back in town, we get along with the brown 

Now I'm in jail, they tryin' to beat me down 

Jail is hell, but I'll adapt, won't hesitate to get in a scrap 

'Cause I'm down for mine, and that's for certain 

Sittin' in the hole with my knuckles hurtin' 

Palmdale 

Palmdale 

(Hell, yeah) 

Come back to me 

(I need you and I love you, baby) 

Palmdale, come back to me 

(Yeah check it out, homeboy) 

Now I got a fucking up life, two bad kids and a naggin' wife 

Dead end job at the airport check too short to pay the house note 

Turn on the TV then I see different homeboys that went to school with me 

Playin' in the NFL we used to kick back in east palmdale 

Rodney Williams, Lorenz tate 

Zeno plays for Colorado state 

I wish my homeboys much success 

But at the same time, I still get depressed 

Walkin' through the wind with a cup full of gin 

Thinkin' 'bout things that coulda, woulda, shoulda been 

I wipe my tears, sip my beers, wish good luck to my peers 

Palmdale 

Palmdale 

Come back to me 

(I need you and I love you, baby) 

Palmdale 

Come back to me 

(Palmdale) 

('Cause that's where my heartache began, heartache began) 

Palmdale 

(Palmdale) 

Come back to me 

(I need you and I love you, baby) 

Palmdale 

(Oh yeah) 

Come back to me 

('Cause that's where my heartache began, heartache began) 

Palmdale 

(Yeah) 

Come back to me 

(Hey, all the homeboys on the football team, where y'all at man, yeah) 

(Hey, wherever you at in the world, I don't care if you in Japan, Africa) 

Palmdale, come back to me 

(Hey you know how we used to do it, man hey, hey, hey) 

Yo, let me get a palm 

(Palm) 

Yo, let me get a dale 

(Dale) 

Yo, what do we sell? 

(Yeyo) 

Yo, where we fittin' to go? 

(We fittin' to go back to jail)

(Little rock can't get none)
