A day in the life on the soil in Cali-scrillya
Take the wrong turn and these youngsters out here kill ya
Well, I ain’t concerned, they love us hustlers and dealers
They wanna tear our houses down so they can build some Ikeas
Oh, Just tryna get my point across
Where I’m from it’s pandemonium and chaos
Where I’m from the lights is off, we use matches
Where I’m from we do it bare-faced instead of ski masks (Ka ka ka!)
Oh, No more talking on them cells
I heard the federal went ahead and bought Nextel (what?)
Oh, Over-crowded jails
They got us sleepin’ in the gym instead of our own cells
Ooh, Put our yeti together
Me and my investors, we flippin’ ten or better
I got some gouda, got a little bit of cheddar
My medallion got more colors than a peacock feather
A dozen or so other cities across the nation, Fresno and Sacramento are dealing with the arrival of modern-day Hoovervilles. The illegal encampments of homeless people are reminiscent, on a far smaller scale, of Depression-era shanty towns. A group of tents along the American River near downtown Sacramento.
