  • Do not adjust your dial
    Right before your very ears
    You're about to hear what they don't want you to hear
    California, you've been warned

    I go where I wanna go
    I keep the thang on the downlow (keep it all downlow)
    From the south side of Diego till the day that I die
    Better put it on my tombstone
    I keep my head to the sky (keep it to the sky)
    I'm still living for the sunshine
    I got love for the streets
    And the rest of my homies still doing their time (sunshine)
    I mon a burn ina fire I go blaze
    Cali livin' for the rest of my days (for the rest of my days)
    Over-stand I will stay in Jah ways to keep from going insane

    All day, all night, alright
    Yeah, it's all good
    And it's alright
    You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
    (All day) yeah, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
    Coming up in the streets of California

    You know I heard it all befo'
    And I don't care about who you know (I don't give a shit who you know)
    I've been around the world
    Had a lot of good times but ain't nothing like the west coast
    I'm staying on my grind (staying on the grind)
    I'm low-riding on the west side (on the west side)
    I'm laid back in the cut, everybody know what's up
    So I'm feeling alright (felein' alright)
    I mon a burn ina fire I go blaze
    Cali livin' for the rest of my days (for the rest of my days)
    To over-stand I will stay in Jah ways to keep from going insane

    I mon a burn ina fire I go blaze (I go blaze)
    Cali livin' for the rest of my days (rest of my days)
    To over-stand I will stay in Jah ways to keep from going insane

    All day, all night, alright
    Yeah, it's all good
    And it's alright
    You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
    (All day) yeah, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
    Coming up in the streets of California

    (All good) man it's all good (alright) and it's alright (it's alright)
    You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
    (All day) hey, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
    We're coming up in the streets of California

    Do you have any idea what this is?
    West coast legendary
    Organized family business
    Here we go baby

    Come and take another verbal assault
    That's just who I am, I ain't nobody's fault (it ain't your fault)
    History books, I knew the consequence
    No use in reconstructing my environment
    Right in the search, discover the state of my soul
    P.O.D. and Suicidal that's how we roll (that's how we roll)
    Never silent, always something to say
    It's in our blood, California

    Yeah, it's all good
    And it's alright
    You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
    (All day) yeah, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
    Coming up in the streets of California

    (All good) man it's all good (alright) and it's alright (it's alright)
    You wanna ride it, ain't no thang, that's just how we play
    (All day) hey, it's all day (all night) and it's all night (it's alright)
    We're coming up in the streets of California

    All day
    All night
    Alright
    All day
    All night Writer/s: Marcos Curiel, Mark Traa Daniels, Michael Allen Muir, Noah C. Bernardo, Paul J. Sandoval
