  1. Look up ladyandthemanbot. Keep telling my girl she can sing but doesn’t believe me. Please 🙏🏼 listen to her voice and let me know. Respect ya!!!

  2. Lyric

    [Chorus: Warren Hue]

    Yeah, I'm faded (Ayy), fake faces (Face)

    I erase 'em ('Rase), California

    That fragrance ('Rance), mad payments ('Ments)

    Fake places (Place), California

    I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

    I love the way you lie

    Tryna get my money bag straight this time

    The hills is gon' decide (Yeah)

    [Verse 1: Warren Hue]

    LA, Westside, mama scared most of the time

    Lookin' behind, what's this so-called life?

    Shawty run my other phone, yeah

    Fake faces, gotta cut 'em off, yeah

    Fake faces, they don't problem solve, yeah

    My faith is from the cameras, yeah

    Flash-flash, I'ma take the pictures for my fam', damn

    Show 'em I've made it, flashbacks

    To the pictures from way back

    The kids were like "Who's that? Who's that?"

    Now I do Hollywood, yeah

    Copies everywhere like a walkie talkie

    I'ma run the lobby, speak to nobody

    San Gabriel Valley, I might crash your party, like

    [Chorus: Rich Brian]

    Yeah, you made it, you've been anxious

    But you made it, California

    Conversations 'til the sunrise

    When you stop by, California

    I don't wanna be the one that's left behind

    I love the way you lie

    I don't wanna be the one to lose my mind

    I know you know

    [Verse 2: Rich Brian]

    Somebody put some brakes on me

    I really need rest on me

    Pops callin' up every couple days

    I'm smilin' so he could think I'm straight

    Why can't I tell the truth?

    Playin' J. Cole back then with a clear end goal

    Like it all made sense, I needed myself

    And nobody else, okay, let's go, uh

    From how it looks, man, it's hard to complain

    Man, I just been prayin' that when I get older

    That I got some smile in me that can remain

    My money is long, but I got some new issues

    That feel like it's longer than government names

    Man, all I could wish is the mask that I wear

    And the face that's below it is lookin' the same, like

    (Oh, oh, oh) You been in this fight, I can see it in your eyes, like

    (Oh, oh, oh) I made up my mind, I don't wanna waste no time

    [Chorus: NIKI]

    Money makin', while we're breakin'

    It's amazin', California

    Celebrate it or berate it

    It's been fated, California

    Oh, Maria, the hills are swarmin'

    With dead ends and the bots performin'

    Don't mistake it, you can break big

    'Til you get sick, hm

    [Verse 3: NIKI]

    Shut the fuck up, don't wake another neighbor (Yeah, shut the fuck up)

    I don't know you and I don't want to later (Later)

    Praying to God, I never run out of His favor

    But we don't make the textbooks on our best behavior, do we?

    I'm the antihero in my own damn movie (Movie)

    All my exes write songs that I'm based on loosely

    Take after my ma, I can be choosy

    I can be choosy, oh

    And when the sky looks like a painting

    That's when you look down

    [Outro: NIKI, Rich Brian & Warren Hue]
