[Intro: DJ Drama & (Jesse Rutherford)]

Black and white The Neighbourhood

The west coast is the best coast

The best smoke, the best weather

The best bitches, can't wait 'till my flight land

Gm Dm

G-Eazy fuck with us

(I can't wait to get back to California)

[Verse 1: Jesse Rutherford]

When I get back to California

I'll see my sister and my momma

I'll tell my friends about my fast life

Because they know me from my past life

When I get back to California

I'll smoke a pound of marijuana

I'll sit inside and watch the sun set

All by myself in my apartment

Oh, I'll take the long way home

When I get back to California

I hope to put my paranoia

On pause, because I'm not a god

[Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]

I've got no time to kill

But when I get home

Cm Dm

Maybe I will

(I can't wait to get back to California)

[Interlude: G-Eazy]

I'll be home soon

[Verse 2: G-Eazy]

Killing brain cells, killing time

When I finally get back I'll be feeling fine

Hope I get to chill out in my twenties while I'm still in mine

Tap right out the matrix but I'm just out here

Maneuvering until it's time

Gm D#

On the road know my girl be going through it

Cm Dm

But I'm a fucking star and I know I was born to do it

Gm D#

Summer gone and past I'm always touring through it
