Speech (0:13)
It's a Reality check from the streets of Southern California
With brothas always smokin' on the doja
The O.P.M., damn we rollin'
Hand on the mic till we decide about the sick life
Verse (0:26)
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 soul's been devoured
Never looked up above and push came to shove
As it usually does, keepin' with these thugs
Doin' all of these drugs with no means of direction
Infection, but here's my objection
Verse (0:46)
Rejection by your whole congregation
With no empathy for my situation
No place in society that's my reality
Angry don't know who's the enemy
I'm in deep, underneath the streets
It's hard to creep from city to city
With all these hitters and the heat
Killin' me stealin from me, makes no sense to me
So I keep it tight with the homies in the family

Here's a reality check from the streets of california
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on yo
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Here's a reality check from the streets of california
Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on yo
Things ain't always what they seem
Things ain't always what they seem
Postchorus (1:26)
Verse (1:36)
We're all smokin, tryin' broken homes
Chokin' locos, for pesos, slingin' dope by the case os
Smokin' cocos, laced with dope and opium
Cities for niggaz causin' f**kin' pandemonium
Spoiled by suburbia, Cottonmouth what then all the man
Formin' corny reputations
Bustin' tracks from Kid Kreation me and the artists
Who performed the hardest collaberations
Verse (1:56)
Born and raised in the golden state
Don't invite no plates servin' up some dinner
For southern county serial sinner
Imperial, superial lyrical
In again, see the opium den,
We see the man who posed prohibitin'
And drop a eight to eliminate a peaceful
Evolution of man for your political pollution
There's no solution for these county criminal minds
Just subliminal rhymes, hypnotizing mankind
Chorus (2:17)

Bridge (2:37)
Here's a reality check from the streets of califonia
Verse (2:43)
See california the major growth industry
Are private security and penitentiary
Risin from the climatose cold war economies
That'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 won't go away, so please now
Open up your eyes and realize
The land of sunny skies, disguised as paradise, is a lie

Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on yo

Keep your eyes wide open to what's really goin' on yo
Things ain't always what they seem
