[Verse 1] Palm trees lean like they eavesdrop Dust on my Vans from a bus stop Corner store light on a face shot Change in the jar, that's a take-out jackpot Skateboard scrape on the cracked lane Kids tag names on the back train Sirens hum low in the far frame Same sun, same block, but the dark changed [Chorus] Shadows of the street in California Follow every step like they own ya Daytime gold, but the night gon' show ya All the little truths that they warned you (that they warned you) Shadows of the street in California Slip around the wheels, ride the Corolla Every bright dream got a cost on the corner Shadows of the street in California [Verse 2] Mural of a face that we all knew Faded on the wall by the drive-thru Candles on the curb when the sky blue Turns ash-grey, now the whole hood slide through Smoke in the air from a side yard Uncle in the chair with a broke heart Talking 'bout the games and the graveyard Laughing real loud so the pain starved [Chorus] Shadows of the street in California Follow every step like they own ya Daytime gold, but the night gon' show ya All the little truths that they warned you (that they warned you) Shadows of the street in California Slip around the wheels, ride the Corolla Every bright dream got a cost on the corner Shadows of the street in California
