It's like the devil sittin' on my shoulderAnd he keeps tellin' me just to come overAnd I can't think straight 'cause I ain't soberI only do cocaine in CaliforniaIn California, in California, in CaliforniaAnd I'm a long way from home right now(yeah, yeah)Lord please just keep surrounding meTryin' to escape these demonsBut I feel like they keep houndin' meFriends talkin' down to meMama says she's proud of meStayin' at the chamber andSnortin' lines on the balconyAnd for some reason I keep thinkin' about jumpin' manI can't believe I'm thinkin' this wayI came from nothing it's amazin'All of the sudden everybody's lovin' himWasn't long ago that he was stayin'At the Budget InnCame to HollywoodHe ain't know what a budget isNext thang you know they tryin' to fuck him outHis publishin'These white lines have him feelin' likeThe light's limeThey sayin' that he's nextHe's waitin' it's the right timeIt's like the devil sitti'n on my shoulderAnd he keeps tellin' me just to come overAnd I can't think straight 'cause I ain't soberI only do cocaine in CaliforniaIn California, in California, in CaliforniaAnd I'm a long way from home right nowEveryday I awake hit my kneesAnd start to pray try to find the words to sayBut so much sin is in the wayWhat does it takeTo make it in this scandalous gameI ain't got no umbrellaI just stand in the rainMan it takes a strong mindJust to handle the fameWillin' to destroy anythingThat stand in the wayNext thang you knowI'm learnin' thangs that I never knewNext thang you knowI'm doing thangs I said I'd never doFor good times man it's all about a good vibeI'm so high I swear to God I feel a could flyWalkin' out the rainbow roomHigh as I ever beenTold Jackie Chan I can't believeThey finally let us inIt's like the devil sittin' on my shoulderAnd he keeps tellin' me just to come overAnd I can't think straight cause I ain't soberI only do cocaine in CaliforniaIn California, in California, in CaliforniaAnd I'm a long way from home right nowIn CaliforniaSmokin' weed, just let me beI'm tryin' to buy my soul backWill they set me freeI got fake friends nowI know we'll never talkAgain - if my mother fuckin' record flopsSo I just keep on tryin' to build this fromThe ground upWasn't long ago that I was really weighin' pounds upReally from the streetsSo keep that pussy shit from 'round usAnd roll some good weedSomebody pour that Crown upIt's like a devil sittin' on my shoulderAnd he keeps tellin' me just to come overAnd I can't think straight cause I ain't soberI only do cocaine in CaliforniaIn California, in California, in CaliforniaAnd I'm a long way from home right nowIn California
