Afroman - Palmdale слова песни
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 plus a bike to ride, but my mamma 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 (?), shot an
enemy from across the street
Mamma 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 ito 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 white girls
on the ass.
I didn`t really care if I passed or failed, I knew 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, (Hell, yeah.) come back to me.
I gotta do one song for my neighborhood. Bucccoooc!
Palmdale, come back to me.
(check it out.)
I knew I couldn`t make it in the white man`s world, so I bought
me some khakis and a Geri curl.
I knew I couldn`t make it to the NFL, so I went to East Palmdale
and started slingin` yell.
Fo` sho`! I was makin` crazy dough. Shoulda 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 dope to anybody.
Me and my homies sold dubs and dimes, took turns bustin` rhymes
just to pass the time.
A white man drove up to my spot. He said, Hey, homeboy, what you got?
I put a fat rock inside his hand. About 25 sheriffs jumped out the van.
(Get down, punk.)
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.)
Can`t get drunk. Can`t get blunted. LA County, 95 hundred.
Crips wanna take my All-stars. Bloods wanna eat my Snicker bars.
Them peckerwoods don`t want none, but the Mexican`s straight own one.
Them Essays, (???) that Essays always try to test me,
So I jumped off the bed, cause I ain`t no punk. Jammed his head
up against the bunk.
Socked that Cholo in his chin. Black mutha-fuckas scared to jump in.
Sheriff broke it up when we hit the floor. I kept talkin` shit
cause I want some more.
Back in town, we get along with the brown. Now I`m in jail, they
tryin` to beat me down.
Jail is hell, but I`ll adapt. Won`t hesitate to get in a scrap.
`Cause I`m down for mine, and that`s for certain, sittin` in
the hole with my knuckles hurtin`.
(Palmdale)
Palmdale, (Hell, yeah.) come back to me.
I need you and I love you, baby.
Palmdale, come back to me.
(check it out, homeboy.)
Now I got a fucked up life. Two 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 coulda, woulda, shoulda been.
I wipe my tears, sip my beers, wish good luck to my peers.
(Palmdale.)
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.
Palmdale, come back to me.
(Hey, all the homeboys on the football team, where y`all at?)
Palmdale, come back to me.
(Hey, wherever you at in the world, I don`t care if you in Japan, Africa
hey, you know how we used to do it, man. Hey, hey, hey.)
Yo, let me get a Palm (Palm!)
Yo, let me get a Dale (Dale!)
Yo, what do we sell? (Yell!)
Yo, where we fittin` to go? (We fittin` to go back to jail!)
[x4]
Dale. Palmdale. (Hey, everybody just clap your hands.)
Dale. Palmdale. (C`mon, c`mon, c`mon. Buci-buci-bucccoooc!)
Dale. Palmdale.
Dale. (Where them Falcons at?) Palmdale. (It ain`t over `til
the fat man sings.)
Dale. (Little Rock can`t get none. What, what?) Palmdale.
Dale. Palmdale.
[fade out.]
