(from genius.com) [Verse 1] Shouts out to the homie Maki (Maki!) Shouts out to the homie 'Veen (Neveen!) Shouts out to my nigga Miles, LA bout to be a thing I'm goin in a track suit since TDE been runnin things And I'm takin me a lap too around Hollywood just to make a scene Cos a nigga got Odes for days for the Golden State Got Odes, nigga Shouts out to the West Coast I've been tryna make moves from the get-go '04, never knew shit about a six-four Fast forward, I can switch flows like a Dayton 2-0-fifteen, I'mma need Geico Let's go to the Bay, get a payroll April everyday, no rain though Back it up and dump it, had the short rips and the denim Baby, my heart in Chicago but you givin me dilemmas On the CTA in ball-top beanie, skinny jeans Niggas had the Spidey sense and, oh my god, the venom Blame it on that Napa wine, blame it on the influence I'm Ye Omari Westside, summertime Christmas Seasoned niggas know exactly what's happenin, got an anthem I was practicin my ass off Then I started listenin to Dom [Pre-Hook] And we poppin that bubbly Cause we was out here hustlin And she frontin like "nigga, when you cuffin me?" But she can kick a tumbleweed Cause she can't be in love with me [Hook] But now I'm screamin out: Thank-thank-thank you Cali, thank you Cali Thank you K-Dot, thank you Suzy Thank you Nip, thank you Forty Thank you all them niggas with a song about that scrapin, mackin, smokin Sippin liquor up out that window, with they city up on they faces Cos they never had to question whether Cali was the greatest place alive And it's really just that simple if you try If you ridin, just that simple To rap like Dom, rap like Dom, nigga Really don't take that much To rap like Dom, rap like Dom [Verse 2] And I'm thinkin on my city Cause this shit's expensive and niggas don't see race And that shit's annoying Like, just cause you stupid don't tell me what I ain't No I get it: The only reason that was possible is cause you kicked the niggas out the way And now the visible invisible Say, it's kinda funny how we talkin on eviction notices And y'all don't notice shit unless it's on an iPhone application Actually, you white And suck a fat black dick (anyway) Meetus smokin Cali kush, he grew up on the best And you can catch him in the O, legs crossin like an X Meditatin futures nigga, higher than a palm He got five on a leaf, puffin fall from the chest RIP The Jacka, rest in peace to Mac Dre Knowin that's that Cali pride, still relevant to day I be wearin OPM shirts just to make a statement Cause it's self-explanatory: Show the colors of your people like Dom [Pre-Hook] [Hook]
