Kalifornia Lyrics - Singles - Saukrates

[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 nigga with them rasta curls 

So she on the train did avoid me 

Sick to her brain assumin' I would most likely be 

A hustler, I said fuck 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

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 niggas in time, that girl would be mine 

They called me crazy, assumin' 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 

Fuck Christmas 

When I brought it up my niggas dismissed 

Ignoring the mockery 

I kept it locked in my mind tightly 

Kalifornia you remind me 

Yo, I didn't have my niggas behind me 

But then, you were taken anyway 

Forcing me to postpone plan A 

Kali-forn-i-ay... 

CHORUS 

[Saukrates] 

From a distance 

Analyzed 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 nigga 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 nigga 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
