about

Created this and recorded this on the eve of what I desire to be my final day in Killafornia.

lyrics

California is my point of origin
Not my homeland
Since I was 10
And saw my only eviction notice on the door then
California is my point of origin
Not my homeland
Thinking about this as I survive offa loans
From an older Snow
I know up in Oregon
When a couple months
Ago I was down South
Making enough money to get by,
Not really ball out
But I had to bow out
So I can handle this (M)
To get to them,
Chicago try-outs
At the Great Lakes
I'm almost 30 years old
Dont act like u dont know
Whats at stake
If I dont get a career
To lean into before my 40th year

I've made tapes
None of that ever made pape's
Got a couple letters behind my name
Still sleeping on the same concrete slate
That I was on when I was pursuing my 1st and only degree
All so that I can say
to this day
I can get on my knees
And still wont secure entry
At any entry level position
In this West Asian supremacy system
Western hemisphere prison
And Job Stack is wack
Got a lack of labor jobs and places to wash dishes
So all I can do is sit n' sleep in front of this courthouse dishin' in this written about this life that I'm living in
California
My point of origin
not my homeland
California
My point of origin
not my homeland
California
My point of origin
not my homeland
California
Might be my point of origin
But will never be my homeland
Since I before I braved Skid Row at 20 year's old
I'm up in the I.E. now
That desert wind is even more cold

Thankful I packed them thermals
I had since South Dakota
On my 1st trip to Florida
California is my point of origin
It will never be my homeland
Fucking fool's gold state
I'd rather go back to sittin' on a crate
Outside of Queensbridge projects
Than to ever take flight through LAX
20 plus years of fucking disrespect
I have no desire to ever lay my head again in the land of the brushfire
Wasn't ever really on the run
For the past seven years
Jake coulda got me when I was wit my Wiz
In those Barstow digs
Before I dipped to K-State
And me and that dame took a break
'Til we was back at it in Texas
And I picked her up at her mom's Killafornia homeplate
You fucker's ran my plates
And kept hitting me with infractions and warnings
From Calexico to Inyokern
Then all of a sudden
i'm up in
Tampa
And get an alert on
My white page
Telling me I got a case
That I caught for throwing
A diet green tea can at an off-duty cop
When all I did was skate
men dont fly off into a rage
Unmolested
Jake shouldn't have tested and try to run me off my Globe
So I'd have to come back to this hellhole at 27 years old
When I was doing good down
Near the other side of the globe -
Let someone with a U.S. education
Who thinks the U.S. nation comprimises the entire America's
Tell the story as it unfolds ...
Brown sweat stains I cant get out my clothes
Covered in white paint
Mucus plugging up my nose
From a steady diet of Black & Mild's

I wasn't born on the Rez
Nor no spoiled immigrant's 1st gen child
From Asia or any Latin territory
I'm an FBA from L.A.
THIS IS MY STORY
from
California
My point of origin
not my homeland
California
My point of origin
not my homeland
California
My point of origin
not my homeland
California
Might be my point of origin
But will never be my homeland

Fuck the Fool's Gold State
Fuck the
Fuck the
Fuck the Fool's Gold State
Fuck the
Fuck the
Fuck the Fool's Gold State
Fuck the
Fuck the
Fuck the Fool's Gold State
I'm from the Fool's Gold State
What?
