California Dreamin'

[Featuring GangStarr]

[Chorus]

the life you is walking through

such a bitch

day in to day out the same old thing kid

[Verse 1 Spek]

bring me to the end and I'll be me

open up your eyes wide so you can see

it's thick to be me

how I kick my rhymes down pat

within the circle how we do

when we kick that fact

but where's the meaning?

I take it one night by one night

but where's the meaning?

I take it one day by every day

I pick a rhyme I chose and put it number one inside my placement

so look to find the signs inside my basement

no tears

sell us full of samples with ample time to loop

it's just the beats from the dead from my head with my troop

and it be cool if all the time was like studio time

but days are long enough for Spek with the rest of my time

I think I'm manic depressive and not agressive enough

you can try to be hard but damn you still won't be rough

life is whack for the ?? life is phat if you flow

life is waitin' for a deal when you like got no dough

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Spek, Lu]

in the middle of my nights I check my late night flicks

I'm up at night trying to write and late night I get my kicks

that is I'm out to get my main feature

the low budget picture in my room and in between I write scriptures

picture this the day's just a claender's notch

and every kid becomes the one who wanna ride it on the crotches

and when I'm finished when my flick is almost done

when my rhyme is half done

when I check a late re-run

I lose to the groove soul sounds soothe me well

sometimes my mind wonders sometimes heaven could be hell

I pass the fools who has never known my name

when I think about the deal sometimes I need someone to blame

I add members to the show who knows a fan

for the ones that wanna capture the essence of level

to the hip-hop their directions they groke

who's representing us? the critics holy smoke

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - Lu]

place text in images replacing old versions

documents displayed as homemade

glue without a clue you your loophole is deckin' in the halls to ring

bells

in fear of losing clientels

my work place is infinite

but can't plan it like my screens appearance is translusive

but with a hard ??? I display I cruhser critics

as easy as...

skip this step if you wanna

control key available to only keyboards you can't afford

Q he's the shift he's the roller

can't understand your education is basic (science)

so many words and everything is being said

yet people get pissed

when people wanna your way but not their way so which way's the right

way

I'm going hungry in the belly of the beast

that uncleans the serpent

I walk like the lion I'm a leash

[Chorus]
