Forty forty dollars to
the man that wanna go
Twenty twenty to the
sister with the ticket at the grocery store
I wish someone would get mine
If ya got an extra dollar
can you lend it to a man whos poor

Ive been up but I aint down
Ive been lost but now Im found
I be defeated for sure
If now I got a chance
then the city better let me go

(CHORUS)
I cant wait to get a
ride to california
Cuz it makes sense to
go to california
If hollywood is ready
then lets go to california
Cuz it makes sense to
go to california
Can I get vote no, lets just go
L.A. road, got no money so
If you was me youd do
tHe same thing you know
So leave your bags at
your mommas door

Going going going to
the man in the back
Cut the line if ya feel me
Let me hear ya say it one more time
I set my mind to break free
Now my bodies get loose
while Im shakin like a dancing tree

Ive been up but I aint down
Ive been lost but now Im found
I need the livin for sure
If now I got a chance
then the city better let me go

(Chorus)

I really gotta catch that ride
I need to find a place in line
Im pickin up an L.A. vibe
I really wanna go this time (X2)

(Chorus)

Gettin to the freeway
green light go
You can even get a plane
or a train if the traffics slow
I bet you wont beat me
Ive been waiting for
a mighty long time so you best believe

Ive been up but I aint down
Ive been lost but now Im found
I need a ticket for sure
If now I got a chance
then the city better let me go

(Hey) break free
(Hey) break free
(Hey) break free
(Hey) come go with me (X2)

(Chorus)
