[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
