[D]California where I raised till this very day
[E]Hell to pay for the ways of the blaze
[B]Everyday a hundred miles an hour
[B]Cause my soul's been devoured
[D]Never looked up above and push came to shove
[E]As it usually does, keepin' with these thugs
[B]Doin' all of these drugs with no means of direction
[B]Infection, but here's my objection


Verse (0:46)

[D]Rejection by your whole congregation
[E]With no empathy for my situation
[B]No place in society that's my reality
[B]Angry don't know who's the enemy
[D]I'm in deep, underneath the streets
[E]It's hard to creep from city to city
With all these hitters and the heat
[B]Killin' me stealin from me, makes no sense to me
[B]So I keep it tight with the homies in the family
