California Vibes

[Intro – Talk style, laid-back groove] Yeahhh... It’s that West Side roll-up, lowride soul-up Sippin' on somethin’ smooth - let me talk to 'em real quick 🎤 I got them California vibes (What up!) Y’all already know what it is California style (Slide in) All I need is a stage and a mic (Yeah) I got them California vibes (Yeahh) Gotta give it to you West Side style (Fo sho) All I need is a stage and a mic And a lil’ somethin’ twisted just to get me right [Verse 1 – Doggystyle swagger, smooth bounce] Look... Back in the day before sunrise We was in the basement cookin’ up them rhymes Beats knockin’, bass lowrider deep Moms yellin’ “turn it down!” while we’m slidin' on the beat Mixin’ Alizé with that Henny, call it sunset juice And the homies blowin’ smoke while they cuttin' it loose Funk so contagious, had the whole block jumpin' And when the bass hit? You could hear that OHHH! comin’ Talkin' chronic and cassette tapes, chrome and creased jeans When Suga Free told the truth and the world was a dream Throw your dubs in the sky if you know what I mean We was young, wild, and stylin’ - straight West Coast kings [Chorus – Smooth harmony, optional talkbox echo] California (Ooh, that California sun...) Gotta give it to you - California style All I need is a stage and a mic (Tell ‘em) I got them California vibes (Vibe out) Gotta give it to you Cali-forn-i-a style (West side...) All I need is a stage and a mic (Mic check, 1, 2...) [Verse 2 – More playful, classic Snoop-style punchlines] Now we steppin' in clean, creased up and mean Gold on my wrist, match the glow on the scene I ain’t just rappin’, I’m lacin’ the beat Like a lowrider dip - you feel it in the seat Talk smooth, walk smoother, baby this ain't luck I’ve been chill since ‘96, with a zig-zag tuck Still bark with the dawgs, throw paws for the hounds Ruff! Ruff! - that’s the West Coast sound Slide in the spot like I own the lease With a beat so cold, it could snow in Long Beach Party don't stop ‘til the DJ fold Even then, we gon' ride like the vinyl’s gold [Final Chorus – G-funk harmonies, mellow outro] Cali-forn-i-a Gotta give it to you - California style All I need is a stage and a mic (Just let me vibe...) Feelin’ good in the glow of the west side smile All I need is a stage and a mic All I need... Is a little groove and a lil’ sunlight [Outro – Spoken] Yeah, just another sunny day... Roll slow, talk slick, stay lifted. Cali vibes eternal. And that’s on G-funk... [End] Makin’Salad in the booth, laid back with the blend, Fresh bars, cool breeze - West Coast 'til the end. Peace! ✌️
