California Dreaming Video (MV)

This one here's for the west coast
It's cold in the winter out here
The desert funk and the bass go thump
When I roll in my focus no fear
I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic
California dreaming this year
I love the South West where I feel so blessed
California dreaming still

I don't remember seeing the beach when I was younger
Never rocked a show in Cali like I have wanted
Told so many times I need to leave my home town
Did it before it only led to more hunger
See I can make a living at home
It's cheaper here
Got the plug on all my vices endless refer, clear
Skies most the time only thing is winter months
Colder than f*ck and people staying warm with drugs
The venues out here suck and promoters are worse
I'm already blackballed before the end of this verse
Get used to it cuz the truth don't hurt
A job pays better than music in the NM dirt
A revelation created to do one of 2 things
Submit to failure or keep making more beats
Never give up gotta keep dreaming
I'm gonna make the rap world mine or die trying

This one here's for the west coast
It's cold in the winter out here
The desert funk and the bass go thump
When I roll in my focus no fear
I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic
California dreaming this year
I love the South West where I feel so blessed
California dreaming still

I don't wanna move away
I just wanna visit the beach and get paid
Take my wife and dogs on a small getaway
Come back with a few racks
Make it a holiday
Dollars pay for a lot of things
But I know money ain't everything
So we'll keep trying to balance hustle & family
Sometimes loved ones get a little mad at me
Cuz I'm always in the clouds trying to run from reality
Now don't get me twisted I am a hard worker
But I'm also entrepreneurial by nature
Have a small little problem with my anger
And for authorities have nothing but angst & hatred
Can't stand looking at books knowing my cuts minimal
Grew up with crooks but not built to be a criminal
Still not willing to kiss ass for a little growth
Finances need a boost like sugar in plain cereal

This one here's for the west coast
It's cold in the winter out here
The desert funk and the bass go thump
When I roll in my focus no fear
I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic
California dreaming this year
I love the South West where I feel so blessed
California dreaming still

I remember when I moved out west with my aunty
Didn't stay that long cuz Burque streets had me
I was a drunk and a lush
Call it exactly
What I saw what it was when I was younger crashing
Deeper into craters I dug myself smashing
Into the concrete like operating jack hammers
Bummy and broke with all the talent in the world
Running the streets wasting energy on thrills
I used to try to get rich with weed & pills
Learned the hard way that music doesn't pay bills
For real
Now I'm make ends meet by budgeting and planning
Feel rich off 30 k and still enhancing
When you finally realize you made it a long time ago
Perception is everything
Don't mean we can't get more
Greed is natural, so why isn't kindness?
We're all California dreaming till our time comes

This one here's for the west coast
It's cold in the winter out here
The desert funk and the bass go thump
When I roll in my focus no fear
I'm trying to get on while I smoke my chronic
California dreaming this year
I love the South West where I feel so blessed
California dreaming still
