Going Back To Cali
LL Cool J Lyrics

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
The singer is excited to return to California

I'm going back to Cali, hmm, I don't think so
The singer is unsure if they will actually return to California

Going back to Cali, styling, profiling
The singer is going to California in style and with confidence

Growling, and smiling, while in the sun
The artist is enjoying the sunny weather while driving

The top is down, on the black Corvette
The artist is driving a convertible black Corvette with the top down

And it's fly, cause it's sitting on Dayton's
The car is stylish and cool because it has Dayton rims

Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top
The car is luxurious with a Laurents steering wheel and gold-leaf phantom top

And three girls waiting
The artist has three girls waiting for them

Vroom engine's blowing, the chrome, is shining
The car's engine is powerful and the chrome is gleaming

Passing all the cars on the way
The artist is driving faster than other cars on the road

Movement of the wind, back wheels spin
The car is driving fast and creating a wind effect, while the back wheels turn

Pop in a cassette and push play
The artist puts in a cassette tape and starts playing music

I'm going back to Cali, yea y'all, I don't think so
The singer is still unsure if they will actually return to California

I'm going back to Cali, shaking 'em, baking 'em
The singer plans to party hard and have a good time in California

Takin 'em to spots they never before hung
The singer plans to take their friends to new places they have never been

They know the place, on Sunset it's a trip
The artist's friends know a fun place on Sunset Boulevard

Where the A.C.'s cold, but the girls still strip
The air conditioning is working well, but the girls are still dancing and stripping

The record skip, but this girl kept dancing
Despite the music skipping, one girl kept dancing

Prancing, grinding, grinning, romancing
The girls are dancing and flirting with the singer

I asked her to the barn, so we could hit the hay
The artist asks one of the girls to come to a private place

I want to do this, Brutus, but I don't want to pay
The artist wants to have sex with the girl, but doesn't want to pay for it

I'm going back to Cali, no man I don't think so
The artist has decided not to go back to California after all

I'm going back to Cali, rising, surprising
The singer has changed their mind and is going back to California

Advising, realizing, she's sizing me up
The artist is aware that a woman is checking them out

Her bikini, small, heels, tall
The woman is wearing a small bikini and tall heels

She said she liked the ocean
The woman tells the singer she enjoys the ocean

She showed me a beach, gave me a peach
The woman takes the singer to a beach and offers them a peach

And pulled out the suntan lotion
The woman pulls out suntan lotion to apply on herself and the artist

Now I thought it was fast, but this girl was faster
The artist thought they were smooth, but the woman is more experienced

She's looking for a real good time
The woman is looking to have fun

I said, "Close your eyes, I got a surprise"
The singer tells the woman to close her eyes for a surprise

And I ran away with the bottle of wine
The artist takes the bottle of wine and runs away
