Afroman — Palmdale Palmdale Sessions

[Intro] Yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Just like bums, we used to stay in the slums of LA by the way Gang-bangers killin' each other for rep, sellin' rock cocaine on my doorstep Had a ball to bounce, bike to ride, but my mama never would let me play outside But when I got enrolled in elementary school, started bangin' like a fuckin' fool So cool, throwin' up gang signs to the gangster beat, shot an enemy from across the street Mama came home, said she got a good job. Daddy did too. Now they don't squab Financially, we improvin'. 2 months later, son, we movin' No more duckin' from shotgun shells. Bought a two-story house in East Palmdale (give it to me now.) [Chorus] Palmdale, come back to me I need you and I love you, baby Palmdale, come back to me (Check it out, check it out, check it out.) [Verse 2] No more rats and no more roaches, livin' next door to football coaches Now I got a new place to sell me crack. Now I got little white kids to jack I stopped wearin' blue, wasn't trippin' on red. Too busy squabbin' with the skinheads Stupid questions, distract the class. Rubbin' little girls all on the ass I didn't really care if I passed or failed, figured I was headed for the NFL Until the playoff game, shoulder got hurt. I thought about my future, layin' in the dirt I can't jump, I can't flinch. Superstar player, ridin' the bench Graduate from school? Don't make me laugh. I got an F+ in basic math (give it to me now.) [Chorus] Palmdale, come back to me I need you and I love you, baby Palmdale, come back to me (Check it out, check it out, check it out.) [Verse 3] I knew I couldn't make it in the corporate world, so I bought me some khakis and a Geri curl I knew I couldn't make it to the NFL, went to East Palmdale and started slingin' yayo For sure! I was makin' crazy dough. Should've dropped outta school a long time ago Bought a cell phone, like a nut. Now I deliver like Pizza Hut I drunk whisky and Bacardi. I sold weed to anybody Me and my homies sold dubs and dimes, took turns bustin' rhymes just to pass the time Police drove up to my spot. Asked, "Hey, homeboy, what you got?" I put a fat rock inside his hand. About 25 sheriffs jumped out the van [Chorus] Palmdale, (Hell, yeah) come back to me I need you and I love you, baby Palmdale, come back to me (check it out, check it out, check it out.) [Verse 4] Now I got a fucked up life. Five bad kids and a naggin' wife Dead end job at the airport. Check too short to pay the house note Turn on the TV, then I see different homeboys that went to school with me Playin' in the NFL. We used to kick back in East Palmdale Rodney Williams. Lorenz Tate. Zeno plays for Colorado State I wish my homeboys much success, but at the same time, I still get depressed Walkin' through the wind with a cup full of gin thinkin' 'bout things that could've, would've, should've been I wipe my tears, sip my beers, wish good luck to my peers from [Chorus] Palmdale, come back to me I need you and I love you, baby Palmdale, come back to me Cause that's where my heartache began, heartache began Palmdale, come back to me I need you and I love you, baby Palmdale, come back to me Cause that's where my heartache began, heartache began [Interlude] Oh yeah, oh yeah, all the Palmdale Falcons, past and present. All the little ones I don't even know, you know what I'm sayin'. Everybody, wherever you're at, aye, aye, aye, aye [Refrain] Yo, let me get a Palm (Palm!) Yo, let me get a Dale (Dale!)
