lyrics

I’m going, going, back back, to Cali cali
samples: <b-ba-back in effect><bring it back><check it out><come to collect the payback>

got my little start in golden era of rap
northeast Bakersfield junior high school yard scraps
2pac and biggie, tribe had me picky
playing with Fire, youth group church camp
hickies
named Cleva MC at the lake called Hume
split image was the crew, we liked the cars that go boom
graffiti writing my name was RARN
phade one forever, mean streak was my charm
<flatline: aww yeah, man those were the days>
actin a fool with the krylon sprays
arrested by the cops, turned my heart to rhymes
found my way back to God, lightin candles at shrines
divine inspiration, <flatline: what you wanna do?>
went solo with this mess but i still had a crew
I’m older and I’m wiser, but I’m still catchin wreck
Chunjay in the house and I’m back in effect
<flatline: Chunjay's in the house and he’s back in effect>

I got to California in the loins of my people
Oregon trail was a game, but for us it was lethal
people died on the trail, religious fervor prevailed
Mormon stuff got weird and grand pappy set sail
but we had to keep on <flatline yells background: September Dawn!>
this was a mess, but it was just a jawn
<flatline: party people over here, party people over there
by the time my dad died, mama’s vision was clear
we forged a new path and that caused some spats
but love was none the wiser so we mended all that
by the time I’m in high school I’m spitting all the rhymes
walmart hustlin the tapes, I put in the time
<flatline: ruckus was joke? we three kids were woke
j-dog, flatline, then yoda—we spoke to provoke
I’m older and I’m wiser, but I’m still catchin wreck
<both: Royal Ruckus in the house and we back in effect
