Jay-Z - California

I was converted to the other side
From the day I'd gotten there
I met a girl
who took me on a ride
I was young I had no cares
When I moved to California
California

She played me records
I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles
Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air

When I moved to California
California California
California love Venice Beach and P.O.P.
Station 26 was free
Jeff Ho and Horizons West
Dogtown Skates they were the best
Hang Ten, O.P. were the brands
Don't forget the two-tone Vans

I miss the Apple
and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard
With my surfer girl
And we really are a pair

When I moved to California
California
California
California love
