| Just like bums, we used to stay in the slums of LA by the way
|
| Gang-bangers killin' each other for rep, sellin' rock cocaine on my doorstep
|
| Had a ball to bounce, bike to ride, but my mama never would let me play outside
|
| But when I got enrolled in elementary school, started bangin' like a fuckin'
|
| fool
|
| So cool, throwin' up gang signs to the gangster beat, shot an enemy from across
|
| the street
|
| Mama came home, said she got a good job. |
| Daddy did too. |
| Now they don’t squab
|
| Financially, we improvin'. |
| 2 months later, son, we movin'
|
| No more duckin' from shotgun shells. |
| Bought a two-story house in East Palmdale
|
| (give it to me now.)
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| I need you and I love you, baby
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| (Check it out, check it out, check it out.)
|
| No more rats and no more roaches, livin' next door to football coaches
|
| Now I got a new place to sell me crack. |
| Now I got little white kids to jack
|
| I stopped wearin' blue, wasn’t trippin' on red. |
| Too busy squabbin' with the
|
| skinheads
|
| Stupid questions, distract the class. |
| Rubbin' little girls all on the ass
|
| I didn’t really care if I passed or failed, figured I was headed for the NFL
|
| Until the playoff game, shoulder got hurt. |
| I thought about my future,
|
| layin' in the dirt
|
| I can’t jump, I can’t flinch. |
| Superstar player, ridin' the bench
|
| Graduate from school? |
| Don’t make me laugh. |
| I got an F+ in basic math
|
| (give it to me now.)
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| I need you and I love you, baby
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| (Check it out, check it out, check it out.)
|
| I knew I couldn’t make it in the corporate world, so I bought me some khakis
|
| and a Geri curl
|
| I knew I couldn’t make it to the NFL, went to East Palmdale and started
|
| slingin' yayo
|
| For sure! |
| I was makin' crazy dough. |
| Should’ve dropped outta school a long time
|
| ago
|
| Bought a cell phone, like a nut. |
| Now I deliver like Pizza Hut
|
| I drunk whisky and Bacardi. |
| I sold weed to anybody
|
| Me and my homies sold dubs and dimes, took turns bustin' rhymes just to pass
|
| the time
|
| Police drove up to my spot. |
| Asked, «Hey, homeboy, what you got?»
|
| I put a fat rock inside his hand. |
| About 25 sheriffs jumped out the van
|
| Palmdale, (Hell, yeah) come back to me
|
| I need you and I love you, baby
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| (check it out, check it out, check it out.)
|
| Now I got a fucked up life. |
| Five bad kids and a naggin' wife
|
| Dead end job at the airport. |
| Check too short to pay the house note
|
| Turn on the TV, then I see different homeboys that went to school with me
|
| Playin' in the NFL. |
| We used to kick back in East Palmdale
|
| Rodney Williams. |
| Lorenz Tate. |
| Zeno plays for Colorado State
|
| I wish my homeboys much success, but at the same time, I still get depressed
|
| Walkin' through the wind with a cup full of gin thinkin' 'bout things that
|
| could’ve, would’ve, should’ve been
|
| I wipe my tears, sip my beers, wish good luck to my peers from
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| I need you and I love you, baby
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| Cause that’s where my heartache began, heartache began
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| I need you and I love you, baby
|
| Palmdale, come back to me
|
| Cause that’s where my heartache began, heartache began
|
| Oh yeah, oh yeah, all the Palmdale Falcons, past and present. |
| All the little
|
| ones I don’t even know, you know what I’m sayin'. |
| Everybody, wherever you’re at,
|
| aye, aye, aye, aye
|
| Yo, let me get a Palm (Palm!)
|
| Yo, let me get a Dale (Dale!)
|
| Yo, what do we sell? |
