[Chorus]
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali

[Verse 1]
They call me Ya Boy
I'm representin' Northern (Cali)
And that's where them young boys is gettin' shot and tallied
I'm from that state of that brown bag
If you ain't from 'round here, get pound here, play with four pounds here
And young n***a's push work by the pound in (Cali)
Yeah we get down in cali, leave 'em in the ground in cali
I'm from the state where they slang rock's and hate cop's
Roll the turf, skate block's, never will the case stop
I'm from the state where they crippin' and they bloodin' at
And if they can't find you, they go to where your cousin at
And ain't no squares here, a lot of players here
The chronic shit, we high as the Himalayas here
And n***as play with choppers, a lot of crooked coppers
We call 'em hood rats, Texas call 'em boppers
Throw up your fingers if you feel the same way
Ya Boy puttin' it down for Cali-forn-ia
Where you from?
[Chorus]
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali

[Verse 2]
This here's a shady place, rest in peace Tookie
I guess the Terminator really wasn't just a movie
The dealer's give the yay, the killer's get away
A snitch is very lucky, if he can live another day
The Giants vs. the Dodgers
The Raiders vs. the Niners
Either you small grindin' or you a big timer
We wearin' black tees, gold teeth and bandanas
We push zips, fuck model chicks and tote hammers
We get a lot of dough like Digiorno
You see them Bentley coupes, we can afford those
Where if you live another day, only the Lord know's
Wherever the money at, it's where the whores go
We call them gold diggers and it's a lot of those
The feds really bull, they wearing cheap clothes
The state of California where we don't get along
I'm bringin' you to Cali, just listen to the song
[Chorus]
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali

[Verse 3]
I'm from the Bay, still LA love Ya Boy
Ask my n***a Spence, we straight thuggin', boy
I got the street's turned higher than the oven, boy
I'm from the west, still look like a southern boy
We on them big wheel's, I'm in that fast drop
Just got the black coupe equipped with the stash spot
Some n***a's ride spinners, some n***as ride rallies
Just keep your thang tucked
Because it's... because it's...
[Chorus]
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali
I represent in (Cali)
It's hard to live in (Cali)
Hard to survive in (Cali)
'Cause you could die in (Cali)
A lot of sun in Cali
I keep a gun in Cali
So watch your tongue in (Cali)
'Cause you'll get done in cali
