Well, a freeway in LA means that you're free to spend your day
Trudging through congestion while you hear some music play
It's NPR 88-1 KPFK
And a little bit of K-DAY to take me back to yesterday
Palmdale, Califor-Nigh-A
Is where the fuck I'm from, so I can show you the way
You just give me a map, or a napkin and a cray'
On the East side is where my family stays
Crawston Park is where I play basketball on Saturday
Come Sunday, we would visit AK
That's my cousin from around the way, on 11th and Prai-ray
14's the freeway to the 5, 4-oh-5, 1-oh-5
Kiss the sky on that overpass
Underfunded schools where I taught a class writing poetry
On Imperial and V-E-R-M-O-N-T
Just a dude from the "P" mixed up in the city
Silly how we spend our days in this slow motion maze
Waiting for tomorrow while we're surfing past today
On concrete waves into dinosaur graves
You better smile and wave
I used to ride the 4-oh-5 like a slide to see my girl
I had my stereo on blast, moving past to spin the world
Cruising stick-shift in traffic, I wish I had an automatic ride
I'm sitting on about 3 hours to get to where she hides
East-Side Carson, southwest to Compton
West of Harbor City where them kids could split a fifty
Man, that's north of Long Beach, better be quick on your feet
'Cause on freeways, there's delays, never-ending replay
Now, fast-forward my way up, 4-oh-5 northbound
Where everything just slows down, now scratch my crown
I wonder how long 'til I'm gone, and blast up on this horn
Man, them California freeways make you switch up from the norm
And staying cool and calm is flipping the bird
And shout out words of sexual terms
Man, I wish I'd smoke herb and relax
Scratch that, okay, exit out the back
Wilshire East, buck fiddy and Diddy Reese's Piece
Onward, left on Hacienega, right on Sunset to Cahuenga
And paid my respects to the Mecca then
North of Hollywood and east to Vermont, swung a left then
Met the band out back and put our bellies to the testin'
Had a "not-so-special" that filled up our cargo vessel
Then back on the 1-oh-1
And had another stick-shift wrestle match that I won
When I finally exit on Reseda, man
San Fernando Valley, ain't no place sweetah
Well, a freeway in LA means that you're free to spend your day
Trudging through congestion while you hear some music play
It's NPR 88-1 KPFK
And a little bit of K-DAY to take me back to yesterday
I said a freeway in LA, free to spend your day
You're trudging through congestion while you hear some music play
It's NPR 88-1 KPFK
And a little bit of K-DAY to take me back to
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
Trudging through congestion while you hear some music play
It's NPR 88-1 KPFK
And a little bit of K-DAY to take me back to yesterday
Palmdale, Califor-Nigh-A

And a little bit of K-DAY to take me back to yesterday
I said a freeway in LA, free to spend your day
You're trudging through congestion while you hear some music play
It's NPR 88-1 KPFK
And a little bit of K-DAY to take me back to
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
