Yeah, haha, alright
I see the sun coming out like dubs
West Coast gets love man where have you been?
Staying calm with these palms up high
Falling from the sky like I'm parachuting
And I been feeling Lucky Boy at Huntington with a bundled joy
But I'm aware the 210
Got choppers on the ground plus choppers in the air
Oh, yeah, that's a pair a shooting
I rap but I ain't no "G"
Cal got Techs but they ain't on me
No, I'm technical with the text
Flipping raps into checks with a style back from the 90's
If five-o's on a G then they paid me well
I'm tryna pull more G's than JPL
I'll be a rocket man who can say he fell
When his pockets on a daily swell
Hey, Dеna
Dena everybody's tryna stеal your sunshine
Don't let anyone bring the shade around
You just keep your rays in the face of stormy weather
Summer's coming soon so back 'em down (yeah)
Well, I got five on it when the two-ten splits
Right side get the pits left side get the rich
You can swim with the fakes, you can drown with the snakes
Both sides share a lake in the 626
Take your pick man that's on Roscoe's
See 'em turn chicken come thinking Dirty Dena wasn't hostile
Came for the Roses but kept seeing cops though
S.W.A.T. teams helicopters and hearing shots go
Going and it's gone steady tryna get a head like
Jackie Robinson's on the lawn, yeah
The city got a crown but its roses got thorns
And now you gotta know how to put 'em both on
That's that sacrifice when you are chosen
To build a life for a child you can see as an old man
Hollywood lights up a scene for a gold man
La La Land? Nah man, this is Pasadena
Dena everybody's tryna steal your sunshine
Don't let anyone bring the shade around
You just keep your rays in the face of stormy weather
Summer's coming soon so back 'em down (yeah, uh)
Dena's for the Mad Men
Pie and burger having
Little ol' Lady
Now Gold line traveling
The home of the Doo Dah
Back to the Future
Where you saw the first moonwalk by Michael Jackson
Don't get it twisted though this city is banging
The middle fingers twisted, yeah, this city still banging
The Hat and the Hamlet the Playhouse
The Lengham they casting they shooting
Plus they tootin' in the AM
When the lights go out at the Laemmle
And when the Ice House ain't got no comedy
And when the Rose Bowls closed
And I'm on the street late nights like
"Hey J, who do you wanna be?"
Alone with a coffee up at Conrads
Or on the lawn of the Pavilion as a first time dad, man
Old Town keeps changing
Nothing stays the same
But I still thank Dena for the time we had, come on
Dena everybody's tryna steal your sunshine
Don't let anyone bring the shade around
You just keep your rays in the face of stormy weather
Summer's coming soon so back 'em down
