Kottonmouth Kings - California Burning

Lyrics

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Love my state, love my city
Love my people, they so pretty
Pick 'em up and take 'em with me
No more crying, it's a pity
Gas prices too high, it's that California life
Sitting traffic, taking hour for a ten minute drive
Bubble tripping on people out smoking the tires
You need to focus big picture like the city's on fire
Have some compassion, understanding, peace and unity
Come together, show some patience
And get it back to what it used to be
Beautiful soil covered in ashes
Fire and wind in the storm as it passes
The sun will rise and rain you know
So plant a seed and watch it grow
Don't fasten out that back track
Got Cali flags at half mast
Houses burn with a quick flash
Everything gone but black ash
Destruction all over the land
We losing it all
United we thriving but divided we fall
California's burning
Nowhere to run to when your city's on fire
My people are hurting
Nothing we can do but watch the flames get higher
Hollywood is burning
Nowhere to run to when your city's on fire
My people are hurting
Nothing we can do but watch the flames get higher
Forty million people in a place known to burn
Only three water planes, look like nobody learned
Divert the water for the rich then cover the lie
Until the fire starts burning and the hydrant is dry
Crooked oversteps from the water to the fast pass
Laundering my taxes like you never took a math class
Your government is mad trash, I'ma take the vax pass
Back in 2020 tried to put me in a gas mask
See you Mr. President, your local Cali resident
We can't afford to live here and the homelessness is prevalent
We need some better healthcare and some help with disabilities
To build better facilities for mental instabilities
Submit facts to Americans trying to afford their living
No more stress for the people, need the government to listen
Our politicians politicking, tell 'em all to stop
Just stop, save this place and make it better for the top
California's burning
Nowhere to run to when your city's on fire
My people are hurting
Nothing we can do but watch the flames get higher
Hollywood is burning
Nowhere to run to when your city's on fire
My people are hurting
Nothing we can do but watch the flames get higher
Emergency evacuations, people losing everything
Cali fires rampant, running wild, leaving us nothing but pain
Is it a natural disaster or just a man-made thing?
'Cause what's going on nowadays to us is just a whole damn shame
It's time to grow the brand new seed
Give people the help that they need
Band together with that love, overcoming the cheats
So keep your head up (Keep your head up)
Clear the air so we can breathe
We need some answers to these prayers, we need the people to believe
California's burning
Nowhere to run to when your city's on fire
My people are hurting
Nothing we can do but watch the flames get higher
Hollywood is burning
Nowhere to run to when your city's on fire
My people are hurting
Nothing we can do but watch the flames get higher
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
