Verse 1
Bbm
Just like bums we used to stay
In the slums of la by the way
Ab
Gang bangers killin' each other for rep
Sellin' rock cocaine on my doorstep
Bbm
Had a ball to bounce plus a bike to ride
But my mamma never
would let me play outside
Ab
But when I got enrolled in elementary school
Started bangin' like a fucking fool
Bbm
So cool throwin' up gang signs
to the gangster beat
Shot an enemy from across the street
Ab
Mamma came home, said she got a good job
Daddy did too, now they don't squab
Bbm
Fi nancially, we improvin'
Two months later, son, we movin'
Ab
No more duckin' from shotgun shells
Bought a two-story house in east palmdale
Chorus 1
Give it
Bbm
(to me now) Palmdale
Ab
(Hell yeah) Come back to me
Bbm
(I need you and I love you, baby)
Ab
Palmdale, come back to me
Verse 2
(Check it out, check it out, check it out)
Bbm
No more rats and no more roaches
Livin' next door to football coaches
Ab
Now I got a new place to sell me crack
Now I got little white kids to jack
Bbm
I stopped wearin' blue, wasn't trippin' on red
Too busy squabbin' with the skinheads
Ab
Stupid questions, distract the class
Rubbin' little white girls on the ass
Bbm
I didn't really care if I passed or failed
I knew I was headed for the NFL
Ab
Until the playoff game, shoulder got hurt
I thought about my future, layin' in the dirt
Bbm
I can't jump, I can't flinch
Superstar player, ridin' the bench
Ab
Gradu ate from school don't make me laugh
Chorus 2
I got an F plus in basic math, give it
Bbm
(to me now) Palmdale
Ab
(Hell yeah) Come back to me
(I gotta do one song for my neighborhood)
Bbm
Ab
Palmdale, come back to me
(Check it out)
Verse 3
Bbm
I knew I couldn't make it
in the white man's world
So I bought me some khakis and a geri curl
Ab
I knew I couldn't make it to the NFL
I went to east palmdale
and started slingin' yeyo
Bbm
Fo' sho' I was makin' crazy dough
Shoulda dropped outta school a long time ago
Ab
Bought a cell phone, like a nut
Now I deliver like pizza hut
Bbm
I drunk whiskey and Bacardi,
I sold dope to anybody
Ab
Me and my homies sold dubs and dimes
Took turns bustin' rhymes
just to pass the time
Bbm
A white man drove up to my spot
He said, "Hey, homeboy, what you got?"
Ab
I put a fat rock inside his hand
And about 25 sheriffs jumped
Chorus 3
out the van get down
Bbm
(punk) Palmdale
Ab
(Hell, yeah) Come back to me
Bbm
(I need you and I love you, baby)
Ab
Palmdale, come back to me
Verse 4
(Check it out, check it out, check it out)
Bbm
Can't get drunk, can't get blunted
LA county, 95 hundred
Ab
Crips wanna take my all-stars
Bloods wanna eat my snicker bars
Bbm
Them pecker woods don't want none
But the Mexicans straight own one
Ab
Them essays, catorces,
treces always try to test me
Bbm
So I jumped off the bed
'cause I ain't no punk
Jammed his head up against the bunk
Ab
Socked that cholo in his chin
Black muthafucking scared to jump in
Bbm
Sheriff broke it up when we hit the floor
I kept talkin' shit 'cause I want some more
Ab
Back in town, we get along with the brown
Now I'm in jail, they tryin' to beat me down
Bbm
Jail is hell, but I'll adapt,
won't hesitate to get in a scrap
Ab
'Cause I'm down for mine,
and that's for certain
Sittin' in the hole with my knuckles hurtin'
Chorus 4
Bbm
Palm dale, Palmdale (Hell, yeah)
Ab
Come back to me
Bbm
(I need you and I love you, baby)
Ab
Palmdale, come back to me
Verse 5
(Yeah check it out, homeboy)
Bbm
Now I got a fucking up life,
two bad kids and a naggin' wife
Ab
Dead end job at the airport
check too short to pay the house note
Bbm
Turn on the TV, then I see different homeboys
that went to school with me
Ab
Playin' in the NFL
we used to kick back in east palmdale
Bbm
Rodney Williams, Lorenz tate
Zeno plays for Colorado state
Ab
I wish my homeboys much success
But at the same time, I still get depressed
Bbm
Walkin' through the wind with a cup full of gin
Thinkin' 'bout things that coulda,
Ab
woulda, shoulda been
I wipe my tears, sip my beers,
wish good luck to my peers
Chorus 5
Bbm
Palm dale, Palmdale
Ab
Come back to me
Bbm
(I need you and I love you, baby)
Palmdale, Palmdale
Ab
Come back to me
('Cause that's where my heartache
Bbm
Ab
be gan, heartache be gan)
Chorus 6
Bbm
Palmdale, Palmdale
Ab
Come back to me

Palmdale (Oh yeah)
Ab
Come back to me
('Cause that's where my heartache
Bbm
Ab
be gan, heartache be gan)
Chorus 7
Bbm
Palmdale (Yeah)
Ab
Come back to me
(Hey, all the homeboys on the football team,
where y'all at man, yeah)

man hey, hey, hey)
