Going to calfornia,

To live in the summer sun

The streets are made of silver,

Iʼm like a rabbit on the run

Well, itʼs not like you have heard

The city of brotherly love

Is full of pain and hurt
Chorus:

To find my pot of gold

Corruption on every corner

Hustlers selling sweets

While her mommaʼs on the streets

Every bodys dying

A bullet took another son away

Somebody say a prayer for me
