(ahh) Southern California Fool the West coast, where everybody is somebody And the game is fame, do everythang with a bang And everybody wanna know, what set you claim [Murs] The land where the six-fo's, hop up and get low Your favorite rapper gettin jacked for more than his sick flows Home of the pornos, we mess up award shows The weather's always warm so the women wear short clothes
