Songtext zu 'Kalifornia' von Mos Def

This is the place they say
People come from far, far, far away
To find their dreams
Chasin' down these meteors and comets called dreams
(Chasin' 'em, chasin' 'em, chasin em')
In the sky of life
In certain hotspots where these meteors and stars have a
Tendency to fall
And legend has it (break) that California is one of those spots
I believe that to be true

They say this the place where stars are born
They say this is the place where legends are made
They sayt his is the place where angels come play
They sayt that this is the place where it all can happen
(For you)
California knows how to make dreams seem so sweet
California knows how to whisper in your ear and tell you
(You're a star)

And you keep on staring
Pretty girls by the oceanside
Softly refuse to shine
Tasties? On your mind
California knows how to party indeed
In the city of la
They say the angels come play
In the city, city of Compton all over the world
In the city of good old Watts
(Beat don't stop)
In the city
California don't stop, don't stop
All the ways from LA to the bay indeed
Stars fall down here that's what they say
Indeed
All the way from LA to the bay indeed
Stars fall down here, that's what they say
It's everything they say
It's the lights from across the bay

California!
Ohhh
Its the C-A-L-I-F-O-R-N-I-A
California knows how
To make me smile at times, yes, they do
California, hey, knows how to do what they do
When they do what they do
When they do what they do to me and you too

Hey
California
Hey ay ay
Phenomena, phenomena worldwide original stop, indeed
Mos Def on the profile indeed
Attitude by the new so very will
(Worldwide original stop indeed
Mos def on the profile indeed
Attitude by the new so very will)
Whoo
In the city
Of LA
(It's everything they say)
