Wrote and produced this demo back in 2014. California Stop is about a girl name Cali who’s heart was broken long before I met her. She discovered her dad, who she idolized, cheated on her mother. Ever since that moment she’s been on a mission to hit and run and break as many hearts as possible. Unfortunately for me, unaware of all of this at the beginning, I’m convinced I’m the one she’ll change for.

Started on this song a month before I started working for Prince but ran into writer’s block. A few weeks into working for Prince my creative juices started flowing again and inspired me to finish California Stop. I scrapped the previous production and built it from the ground up with a fresh new take. The full song (MP3 and MP4), instrumental, and acapella is included in the unlockable content as well as the previous versions so holders can hear the progress and how the song came to be.

Lyrics Verse 1 I met this girl her name was Cali, she’s a valley girl My life was changed by saying hi Just another guy in a competition for attention Her mind defines the speed of light

Pre Hook Oh she keeps running running running, like somebody’s coming She drives right through the sign of love I took her to a place, she didn’t know existed Who can walk away from that paradise

Hook California, she never stops for no one California, there’s no exception for my love (repeat 2x)

Verse 2 All of her life she had her daddy buy her happiness Her superman gave her the world Until one night she found a message to Alexis I can’t touch the broken heart of daddy’s girl

Hook

Bridge Look at this mess we have right here Two useless hearts, why did I fall, its not my fault, two useless hearts Look at this mess we have right here Two useless hearts
