My country California girl
She don't need no direction
Country California girl
Love is her protection
Even though she's older now, older now, older now
She won't stop
She's ride or die like a soldier now
Started that way off top

Shawty got that wooty little white girl booty
Knows how to wear them jeans leave you looking clueless
Good with the top game ain't no way she losing
Big shades throw the duces in the Jeep pier cruising
Yellow bus Jeep color hemi engine movin'
Confidence sky high have the whole room choosing
Lucky me serve her up, like it's my duty
Get lit double cup then she shakes that wooty

I'm down to take a one way, any day, we can play, your rules my game
Say my name, say my name, say my name

You a cancer you don't kill me though
You just try to heal me though
Convince me to do weird things on FaceTime video
After you hear this when you see me just don't hit me tho, hit me tho, o

My country California girl
She don't need no direction
Country California girl
Love is her protection
Even though she's older now, older now, older now
She won't stop
She's ride or die like a soldier now
Started that way off top

It's like you got powers to persuade
Me to do things I don't do on normal days
This a PSA she the future of a game like a PSA
Shawty got good intentions
Put her face down like detention
Damn she kinda bad might put her in my mentions
Pack them bags bring that ass you can bring your two minions

Got a necklace with spikes on it
Bring your journal don't forget this night on me
Angelica pickles smile Napoleon vibes
Dynamite all night place it right

I'm down to take a one way, any day, we can play, your rules my game
Say my name, say my name, say my name

My country California girl
She don't need no direction
Country California girl
Love is her protection
Even though she's older now, older now, older now
She won't stop




She's ride or die like a soldier now
Started that way off top
