LL Cool J - Going Back To Cali Lyrics






I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali.. hmm, I don't think so
I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali.. I don't think so

Going back to Cali, stylin, profilin
Growlin, and smilin, while in the sun
The top is down, on the black Corvette
And it's fly, cause it's sittin on Dayton's
Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top
and three girls waiting
VRRRROOM engine's blowin, the chrome, is shining
Passing all the cars on the way
Movement of the wind, back wheels spin
Pop in a cassette and push play

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali - yea y'all, I don't think so
I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali..

I'm going back to Cali, shakin 'em, bakin 'em
Takin 'em to spots they never before hung
?? the place, on Sunset it's a trip
Where the A.C.'s cold, and the girls still strip
The record skip, but this girl kept dancin
Prancin, grindin, grinnin, romancin
I asked her to the barn, so we could hit the hay
I wanna do this, Brutus, but I don't wanna pay

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali - no man I don't think so
I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali..
..

I'm going back to Cali, rising, surprising
Advising realizing, she's sizing me up
Her bikini - small; heels - tall
She said, she liked, the ocean
She showed me a beach, gave me a peach
and pulled out the suntan lotion
Now I thought that was fast, but this girl was faster
She's lookin for a real good time
I said, "Close your eyes, I got a surprise,"
and I ran away with the bottle of wine

I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali.. I don't think so
I'm going back to Cali, Cali, Cali
I'm going back to Cali.. I don't think so

LL Cool J Going Back To Cali Comments
  1. M.... N....

    LL Cool J was a visionary, because he gave the west coast lots of respect in this song ....in the 80s

  2. N.... I....

    This song is a straight banger.

  3. z.... ....

    Cool intro, very organic with the mix of live trombone and all that, funky and soulfull like 20's jazz. Then the subwoofer bass lines really get it exciting along with the record scratching..if there's a tune worth blowing out your car windows, this is it.

  4. L.... C....

  69. S.... D....

    The one song I hated be LL.

  70. O.... H....

    1:31 ewwwww nasty panties!

  71. m.... p....

    Crazy houses medications

  72. E.... C....

    If none of you have seen Colin Quinn's going back to Brooklyn check it out. Kelsey Grammer s future wife Camille donatacci is in the video one of the baddest blondes ever seen.

  73. E.... G....

    All hot sexy white women. No one wants to see that black nasty vagina not even James wants to see it.

  74. J.... ....

    3:05 All these years with LL Cool being one of my influences, and I never knew Jim Cornette was in an LL Cool J music video lol

    J.... ....

    @Darnell Hendeason Guess you don't know who Jim Cornette is?

    J.... ....

    @JaizMusic I looked him up.

  75. T.... ....

    Bro what kinda intro is this😂😂 tf bit 9 mill is more than I can get lol

  76. m.... f....

    I guess I was just young and stupid in that day, but I watched again after MANY YEARS, not one black girl in the video. Sad

    m.... f....

    The only sad thing is your tribal mentality. Whoever the video director was he was going for a certain kind of stereotypical Southern California aesthetic, the same type you would have found in music vids of the 80s for white artists. The vibe of the video is all about making LL feel a bit of an alien in a strange land. And that included off-beat dancing white girls. Seriously only black chicks would complain about this, only they would feel this insecure and possessive over who a black man could stand next to in a fucking music video. I can watch Sade videos from roughly the same period that don't have black men and yet you won't see me crying over it.

  77. A.... 5....

    Fuck for a second I was 19 again... I don't think so

  78. J.... C....

    Shits Amazing! Girls were not the greatest dancers, but the way they moved was sexy as hell!!!

  79. j.... r....

    Old school music video s rock Heather pastor AKA hizzle

  80. j.... r....

    Any one of my krekoy songs I sing and dance too at the Rush Heather pastor AKA hizzle

  81. D.... L....

    Electro rap yeaahhhhhhhhhh

  82. M.... G....

    Griffith Observatory Very James Dean

  83. M.... G....

    Black and white, Dramatic Cinematic

  84. B.... M....

    Word !!!

  85. J.... S....

    Cali...

  86. S.... M....

    where the black chicks coolaid.

  87. k.... h....

    When he was so fucking SEXY

  88. T.... B....

    Headed back out there soon from the east coast can't wait

  89. T.... C....

    I could never figure out if this joint was pro-Cali, or a diss!

    T.... C....

  90. S.... ....
