[English]

West Coast, welcome to the madness

Bring your dreams, leave behind your baggage, yeah

Everybody high just like my status

They come and go in the 310

West Coast, welcome to the madness

Bring your dreams, leave behind your baggage, yeah

Everybody high just like my status

They come and go in the 310

Yeah, I want the Jeep with the blackouts

I want the platinum plaque now

Wonderin' when I'ma tap out

See there's always something out here you don't have yet

I just gotta turn my passion to a paycheck

I went from basic bitch to bougie

Drink kombucha with my sushi

Tippin' 20 on gratuity, but if you try to use me

I'm on cruise like I'm Karrrueche, got security on duty

Always runnin' into groupies, say they knew me

West Coast, welcome to the madness

Bring your dreams, leave behind your baggage, yeah

Everybody high just like my status

They come and go in the 310

West Coast, welcome to the madness

Bring your dreams, leave behind your baggage, yeah

Everybody high just like my status

They come and go in the 310

I got a house in the hills now

Poppin' a pill, gotta chill out

I swear, ever since I came, nothing's been the same

Don't know the fake from the real now

Don't even know how to feel now

Anything to make a name, what'd you do for fame?

I went from basic bitch to bougie

Drink kombucha with my sushi

Tippin' 20 on gratuity, but if you try to use me

I'm on cruise like I'm Karrrueche, got security on duty

Always runnin' into groupies, say they knew me

West Coast, welcome to the madness

Bring your dreams, leave behind your baggage, yeah

Everybody high just like my status

They come and go in the 310

West Coast, welcome to the madness (Welcome to the madness)

Bring your dreams, leave behind your baggage, yeah

Everybody high just like my status (Everybody high, yeah)

They come and go in the 310

Don't know what to say

It's the price you pay (I don't know what to say)

Hit another jam out in Californ-I-A (In California)

Don't know what to say

It's the price you pay (It's the price you pay)

Hit another jam out in Californ-I-A

In Californ-I-A, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

They come and go in the 310
