Reality check from southern california
With brothas smokinand' on there
damn we rollin
hadninand' the mic
till we decide about the safe life
California where i raised till this very day
hell to pay for the ways of the blaze
everyday a hundred miles an hour
Cause my souland's been devoured
never looked up above
and push came to shove
as it usually does
keepinand' with these thugs
Doinand' all of these drugs with no means of direction
infection
but hereand's my objection
rejection
by your whole congregation
with no empathy for my situation
no place in society thats my reality
angry dont know whos the enemy
iand'm in deep
underneath the streets
itand's hard to creep from city to city
with all these hitters and the heat
killinand' me stealin from me
makes no sense to me
so i keep it tight with the homies in the family
Hereand's a reality check from the streets of california
keep your eyes wide open to whatand's really goinand' on yo
things ainand't always what they seem
things ainand't always what they seem

Weand're all smokin
tryinand' broken homes
chokinand' locos
for pesos
slinginand' dope by the case os
smokinand' cocos
laced with dope and opium
cities for niggaz causinand' fuckinand' pandemonium
cottonmouth
Bustinand' tracks from kid kreation
me and the artists who performed the hardest collaberations
born and raised in the golden state
Servinand' up some dinner
for southern county serial
imperial
superial lyrical
opium den
evolution of man
for your political polution
thereand's no solution for these county criminal minds
just subliminal rhymes
hypnotizing mankind

Heres a reality check from the streets of califonia
See california the major growth industry
are private security and penitentiary
risin from the
post war economies
thatand's why the pigs got my homies down on their knees
lined up against the walls
so the community can see
that the po po wont go away
so please now
open up your eyes and realize
the land of sunny skies
disguised as paradise
is a lie
