California (feat. Phoelix & Ravyn Lenae)

[Saba & Ravyn Lenae]

See the horizon from the road

And hope that we drove

The right direction

'Cause I don't wanna slow

Down for no gas

And plus I'm runnin' low on cash

But I know that my bucket gon' make it to California, California

Hmmm-mm-mm, Cali, Cali

[Saba]

Mmm, what does love look like in the 22nd century? Merely a memory

I intervene cause I tend to be a lil' more optimistic than the wildest child or the most imaginative

I sip the tea after my opinion

They Pistol Pete, dishin' out assistance, government aid

What does it take to break the mold, ayy, I hate the po'

Like the base is low, but I'm out the park

Like the acre gone, Saba with the sabre sword

Focusin' on what we can't afford

In the scheme of things, guess it just ain't important

Who wasn't broke for a moment or three

Start staining like: Oh, it was free

Then stop for a moment of peace

And plus they would call the police if you kept showin' ya face

I said I stopped dreamin', instead I decided to chase

And I ain't look back, that's how you turn to stone

My first friend up in high school was a Stone

He said come and join, I ain't come along

Not cause I'm high and mighty, just I knew right from wrong

Somewhere I belong, looked, but I didn't find

But instead of getting discouraged I got my city behind

Now I'm feelin' worldwide, next stop NY

Next month LA, then back West Side

You change when a friend dies, new man since I lost Kobe

He got out of prison then called my phone like: Where COMFORTZone?

And since then I lost touch, but this year I'm gettin' it back

I finally feel like myself, what I've been on, don't even ask

They ask me: Why the Bucket List?

You know the bucket list, I finally climbed the rock

Made it to the top of the precipice

I came from the pessimism of inner city as it is

Accident prone youth, adult say: Don't take a chance

But we never listen, we went and did it, they vision impaired

So what do you fear, and why are you scared?

Why are you scared? Why are you scared?

See the horizon from the road, and hope that we drove

Hmmm-mm-mm, Cali, Cali

See the horizon from the road, and hope that we drove (drove)

The right direction

'Cause I don't wanna slow (slow)

Down for no gas

And plus I'm runnin' low on cash (cash)

But I know that my bucket gon' make it to California, California

[Lupe Fiasco]

Yo yo yo what up? This is Lupe Fiasco

And my bucket list... Has many things in it

One of 'em is uh, wantin' to win the Nobel Prize, for somethin'

Uh, I also want, yeah, that's it, I just wanna win the Nobel Prize

Yeah!

[Saba]

House, in a gated neighborhood, not the hood, in the hills

Plus an ocean view, your wife and you is good

And your bills, ain't never stress you and you get karate lesson

Here's to no more tears

Look at what you done started?

Look at what you done started?

Lookin' at how you've gone, gone

Do you want a shooting star?

Look at what you done started?

Look at what you done started?

Lookin' at how you've gone, gone

You can leave it runnin'
