[Intro]
Cmaj7
Yeah, I’m faded (ayy), fake faces
Am7 Cmaj7
I erase ‘em, California
That fragrance, mad payments
Am7 Cmaj7
Fake places, California
Am7
I don’t wanna be the one that’s left behind
C
I love the way you lie
Cmaj7 Am7
Tryna get my money bag straight this time
The hills is gon’ decide (yeah, ayy)
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Am7
La, Westside, mama scared most of the time
Cmaj7
Lookin’ behind, what’s this so called life?
Shawty run my other phone, yeah
Am7
Fake faces, gotta cut ‘em off, yeah
Fake faces, them crossed of yeah, yeah
My faith is from the cameras, yeah
Cmaj7
Flash-flash, I’ma take the pictures for my fam, damn
Show ‘em I’ve made it
Am7
Flashbacks to the pictures from way back
Cmaj7
The kids were like, “Who’s that? Who’s that?”
Now I do Hollywood, yeah
Copies everywhere like a walkie talkie
Am7
I’ma run the lobby, speak to nobody
San Gabriel Valley, I might crash your party, like
[Chorus 1]
Cmaj7
Yeah, you made it, you’ve been anxious
Am7 C
But you made it, California
Cmaj7
Conversations ‘til the sunrise
Am7 C
When you stop by, California
Cmaj7 Am7
I don’t wanna be the one that’s left behind
C
I love the way you lie
Cmaj7 Am7
I don’t wanna be the one to lose my mind
I know you know
[Verse 2]
C
Somebody put some brakes on me
Cmaj7
I really need rest on me
Am7
Pops callin’ up every couple days
I’m smilin’ so he could think I’m straight
C
Why can’t I tell the truth?
Cmaj7
Playin’ J. Cole back then, with a clear end goal
Am7
Like it all made sense, I needed myself
C
And nobody else, okay, let’s go, uh
Cmaj7
From how it looks, man, it’s hard to complain
Am7
Man, I just been prayin’ that when I get older
That I got some smile in me that can remain
C
My money is long but I got some new issues
Cmaj7
That feel like as long as they government names
Am7
Man, all I could wish is the mask that I wear
And the face that’s below it is lookin’ the same, like
[Bridge]
C Cmaj7
Oh, oh, oh
Am7
You been in this fight
I can see it in your eyes, like
C Cmaj7
Oh, oh, oh
Am7
I made up my mind
I don’t wanna waste no time, yeah
[Chorus 2]
C Cmaj7
Money makin’, while we’re breakin’
Am7 C
It’s amazin’, California
Cmaj7
Celebrate it or berate it
Am7 C
It’s been fated, California
Cmaj7
Oh, Maria, the hills are swarmin’
Am7
With dead ends and the bots performin’
Cmaj7
Don’t mistake it, you can break big
Am7
‘Til you get sick, hm
[Verse 3]
C Cmaj7
Shut the fuck up, don’t wake another neighbor (yeah, shut the fuck up)
Am7
I don’t know you and I don’t want to later (later)
C Cmaj7
Praying to God I never run out of His favor
Am7 Am
But we don’t make the textbooks on our best behavior, do we?
C Cmaj7 Am7
I’m the anti-hero in my own damn movie (movie)
C
All my exes write songs that I’m based on, loosely
Cmaj7
Take after my ma, I can be choosy
Am7 C
I can be choosy, oh
Cmaj7 Am7 C
And when the sky looks like a painting
Cmaj7 Am7
That’s when you look down
[Outro]
C Cmaj7
California
Am7
Money makin’, while we’re breakin’
C Cmaj7
California
Am7
But you made it, California
C Cmaj7
California
Am7
Yeah, I’m faded, fake faces
