Lyrics
Some reality checks us vets from Southern California
Where it's brothers and eses smokin' on that doja
In the opium den, we ropin' hopeless men and polin' em in
Handin' em mics to recite about their sick life
Californ-i-a born and raised to this very day
Hell to pay for the ways of this life we blaze
Every day, a hundred miles an hour
Sorta sour 'cause my soul's been devoured
Never looked up above
Then push came to shove as it usually does
Keepin' up with these thugs
Doin' all of these drugs with no means of direction
Infection, but here's my objection
Rejection by your whole congregation
With no empathy for my situation
No place in society, that's my reality
Angry, don't know who's the enemy
Mobbin' deep beneath the streets it's hard to creep
From city to city with all these haters and the heat
They're killin' me, stealin' from me makes no sense to me
So I keep it tight with the homies and the family
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Prowlsmokin' traviesos from broken homes
Chokin' locos for pesos
Slangin' dope by the caseload
Smokin' coco's laced with angel dust and opium
City sick and shit kickin', causin' fuckin' pandemonium
Spoiled rotten suburban cottonmouths plottin' death
Snortin' meth, abortin' corny reputations
Waxin' tracks with Kid Creation
Me and the artist artist not as conformed, the hardest collaboration
Born and raised in the Golden State
Holdin' vinyl plates, servin' up some dinner
The Southern Cali serial sinner
Imperial superior lyrical litigants
In the opium den, we solemn men approach prohibits
And drunk by hate to eliminate a peaceful evolution of man
Free of political pollution
There's no solution for these Cali criminal minds
Just subliminal rhymes, hypnotizing mankind
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
See in Californ-i-a the major growth industries
Are private security and penitentiaries
Rising from declining post Cold War economies
That's why the pigs got my homies down on their knees
Lined up against the wall so the community can see
That the po-po won't go away, so please
Now open up your eyes guys you will realize
That the land of sunny skies disguised as paradise is a lie
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of California
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on y'all
Things ain't always what they seem
