    Playin' J. Cole back then, with a clear end goal
    Like it all made sense, I needed myself
    And nobody else, okay, let's go, uh
    From how it looks, man, it's hard to complain
    Man, I just been prayin' that when I get older
    That I got some smile in me that can remain
    My money is long but I got some new issues
    That feel like as long as they government names
    Man, all I could wish is the mask that I wear
    And the face that's below it is lookin' the same, like
    (Oh, oh, oh) You been in this fight
    I can see it in your eyes, like
    (Oh, oh, oh) I made up my mind
    I don't wanna waste no time, yeah
    Money makin', while we're breakin'
    It's amazin', California
    Celebrate it or berate it
    It's been fated, California
    Oh, Maria, the hills are swarmin'
    With dead ends and the bots performin'
    Don't mistake it, you can break big
