[Chorus: Warren Hue]

Yeah, I'm faded (Ayy), fake faces (Face)

I erase 'em ('Rase), California

That fragrance ('Rance), mad payments ('Ments)

Fake places (Place), California

I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

I love the way you lie

Tryna get my money bag straight this time

The hills is gon' decide (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Jackson Wang]

Yeah, I don’t know where I went wrong with you

I be driving round in Cali overthinking like I always do

If the love isn’t real then I don’t know what is true

Yeah, I don’t know where I went wrong with you

Ok the worst part about me is it's never enough

Little shawty said she’d hit me but I’m calling her bluff

Roll the windows down while I’m rolling through tough

While I’m in the town, will you show me some love?

Well yeah, California dreams turn to nightmares now

I can hear the scream through the silence now

Baby don’t you leave where you just lied down with me on the ground

I see constellations spelling out your name

I just used my heart and not my brain

Push to start and do what Simon say so I can give it to you any day

Yeah, I don’t know where I went wrong with you

I be driving round in Cali', overthinking like I always do

If the love isn’t real then I don’t know what is true

Yeah, I don’t know where I went wrong with you

[Chorus: Rich Brian]

Yeah, you made it, you've been anxious

But you made it, California

Conversations 'til the sunrise

When you stop by, California

I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

I love the way you lie

I don't wanna be the one to lose my mind

I know you know

[Verse 2: Rich Brian]

Somebody put some brakes on me

I really need rest on me

Pops callin' up every couple days

I'm smilin' so he could think I'm straight

Why can't I tell the truth?

Playin' J. Cole back then with a clear end goal

Like it all made sense, I needed myself

And nobody else, okay, let's go, uh

From how it looks, man, it's hard to complain

Man, I just been prayin' that when I get older

That I got some smile in me that can remain

My money is long, but I got some new issues

That feel like it's longer than government names

Man, all I could wish is the mask that I wear

And the face that's below it is lookin' the same, like

(Oh, oh, oh) You been in this fight, I can see it in your eyes, like

(Oh, oh, oh) I made up my mind, I don't wanna waste no time

[Chorus: NIKI]

Money makin', while we're breakin'

It's amazin', California

Celebrate it or berate it

It's been fated, California

Oh, Maria, the hills are swarmin'

With dead ends and the bots performin'

Don't mistake it, you can break big

'Til you get sick, hm

[Verse 3: NIKI]

Shut the fuck up, don't wake another neighbor (Yeah, shut the fuck up)

I don't know you and I don't want to later (Later)

Praying to God, I never run out of His favor

But we don't make the textbooks on our best behavior, do we?

I'm the antihero in my own damn movie (Movie)

All my exes write songs that I'm based on loosely

Take after my ma, I can be choosy

I can be choosy, oh

And when the sky looks like a painting

That's when you look down

[Outro: Jackson Wang]

And the sky

In California, California, California

And baby yeah I wish I didn’t know ya

Real or fake California imma hold ya
