NorCal Nick - The Difference (prod. D-Rock)

Before I start releasing new (as in current) music: Here's a unreleased gem I made with SYG during the Peace Pipe Circle recording sessions in spring 2013. SYG sent me this with the first verse already done and It was so dope I immediately wrote and recorded the second verse but we wanted to add a legit hook and give it a proper mix so we held off on releasing it. After that i dunno i guess life happened and time moved on and this ended up in the vaults. Anyways' here you go. Enjoy

NorCal Nick & SYG - Reflections

As I pack up to move back to NorCal next week, I felt it was time for Rav (@passportrav) & I to drop our latest song appropriately titled 'Home'. Thanks for all the love fam. Peace

Lyrics:

Chorus:
I'm not like all those other guys
That wanna fuck with your mind
and make love to your body
I just want the opposite
I just want the opposite

Verse:
and I'm laying here at night,
and I'm thinkin of your eyes,
and I'm thinking of your lips, 
and I'm thinkin of your thighs,
and I'm thinkin of your hips, 
and I'm thinkin how you're kind,
to me.

Indeed.

The brightest star. 

I just wanna orbit you. 
Your gravity's to much for me, 
I couldn't pull away if I wanted to.

Clearly I am drunk from you

Can I have another drink?

Ya I can't believe I have to wait another week,
Just to kiss you on the cheek,
Just to get you out your clothes,
Just to rub your little feet,
& work my way up to your rose.

Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you feel us intertwined?
Nah, no one has to know
Cause we're only killing time.

Still after all of this time
nothing has changed..

Bridge:
I don't know where this river goes
But if I had to judge by the way it flows
I'd say it's all up to you, 
Tell me what should we do?
 
Chorus x 2

I just wanna fuck w/ your body,
And make love to your mind,
I'm not counting your body's 
Just give me your time baby 

Just sip on this wine baby,
Let me swim in your river,
Until you take me to shore,
I said we on your clock,

You said this train don't stop,
When this whole thing pop,
Everybody gunna know it,
You know it.

We both got Xs and baggage
I said let's hide out in Paris,
she asked if I had the money,
I said I don't but I'd share it,
So lets just keep it a secret,
She asked how long can I keep it,
I said forever if my hands can keep on tracing your features.

NorCal Nick - Opposite (prod. tomcbumpz)

Lyrics:

I fell asleep last night,
I was thinking of you,
a angel came to me in my dreams,
I knew that she was speaking the truth..

she told me to fly
Fly Away…
She told me I had to leave you,
if I ever wanted you to change,

and now I’m awake..

And now I’m convinced.. 

I really am so tired,
tired of all your shit..

I’ve been so damn high 
and I still can’t forget..
all those times..
you looked at me in my eyes
you kissed me with all those lies 
still on your lips

I can’t forget,
I can't forget,

no I don’t mean no dispresct
you know I just can’t pretend,
you asked how I felt again,
well baby there it is,

Still,
I guess you were kinda right tho,
I was lying about how I feel,
i said that I was all fine,
I guess I wasn’t being real..
I think you’re kinda out of line,
who the hell gave u the the right?
To call me out of out on my lies?
expose me for my nights?
and you tho of all people?
throwing dirt of my name?
After all the shit that we’ve been through
You’re acting like I changed?
after all the times that you’ve been down
And I took care of your pain
when no one else would even come around
I looked you in your face
I said that things were ok,
And I cleaned up all your fuck ups,
and I always took your blame,
guess that makes me fucked up,
its better me than you,
But if your still asking why
now you know the truth.

cause,
I just can't forget,
I just can't pretend,

I fell asleep last night,
I was thinking of you,
an angel came to me in my dreams,
I knew that we was speaking the truth..

she told me to fly,
fly away,
she told me to fly,
she said get the fuck out this town,
you can not survive,

she told me to leave you,
she told me to leave you,

I really am so tired,
tired of all your shit,

I've been so damn high,
I still can't forget,
all those times,
you looked at me in my eyes,
you kissed me with all those lies,
still on your lips,

I can't forget,
I can't forget,

no,
I don't need no disrespect,
you know I just can't pretend,
you asked me how I felt again,
well baby there it is,

But you know how u get,
You know how you get..
so I hid the truth from you
I hope you forgive me too.

cause I just can't forget,
no I just can't pretend,

Lyrics:

its true I’ve been going through it, but I’m doing what I can
i know They said that I shouldn’t do it, so I did that shit again,
ya I was down for a minute but then, I remembered who I am, 
That was me way back when, now Im still sticking to my plan..

To spread peace love and honesty,
Trying to keep up out of poverty,
just trying to stay positive,
Its hard.

To look deep within the core of me,
when people ask me for more of me,
and muster up the strength inside my soul, 
its hard

To love the people that are close to you
to forgive those thats done the worst to you,
To learn to trust after youve been hurt,
its hard,

finding the beauty in simplicity,
less talk more listening, 
to live for the moment 
not for the history,
Its hard.

its true I’ve been going through it, but I’m doing what I can
i know They said that I shouldn’t do it, so I did that shit again,
ya I was down for a minute but then, I remembered who I am, 
That was me way back when, now Im still sticking to my plan..

to see the beauty in the way that u treat me,
to keep me from letting sex appeal always deceive me,
to find more relationships with meaning,
Its hard.

To stay true for those that always stayed down,
To send money when your homies locked down,
i know you haven’t in a while,
write a letter, make 'em smile..
Its hard.

To stay away from friends that only come around with their hands out
To stay from chicks who only take pics with their titties and their ass out,

to stay away from kids who say they're next to make it big
but nothing's mapped out..
Its hard.

To wake up with a purpose,
to feel I’m more than worthless,
To work like its worth it,
Its hard.

its true I’ve been going through it, but I’m doing what I can
i know They said that I shouldn’t do it, so I did that shit again,
ya I was down for a minute but then, I remembered who I am, 
That was me way back when, now Im still sticking to my plan..

NorCal Nick - Goin' Through It (2017 Resolutions) (prod. mt. marcy)

I used to hate you for all of the things that you used to say, 
you always thought you knew, every-fucking-thing.

NorCal Nick - You Know Everything

Lyrics:
[Chorus] [Nick]
I know you think that you've changed but,
to me you still sound like the same one,
tell me the secret,
I bet you know everything,
you always do,
you always do,

tell me,
what am I to do 
when you're just being you?

[First Verse] [Nick]
I wish I could say I knew what to say to you,
and I'm not judging you for doing all the things you do,
but its hard to understand all the hate in you,
your lack of empathy made me afraid of you,
your lack of self awareness made me think that you're dangerous,
I know you think you know it all but clearly you just make it up,
you'd rather fake it till you make it instead of paying up,
fair enough, but at night,
you're still staring up,
you wonder why there's that void inside,
and you start tearing up,
and you'd think that'd be enough,
but nope, you're hearing nothing,
fuck it, man, whatever, I know that you're just being you,
I pray one day you gunna see the truth.

[Bridge] [Nick]
just know that.
just know that.
just know.

I know the things that they'll say,
they always say that they'll change,
let me tell you a secret,
they never do,

I used to hate you for all of the things,
that you used to say,
you always thought you knew,
every-fucking-thing.

[Chorus] [Nick]

[2nd Verse] [Kayne Martin]
she's just being difficult like all these other women are,
her attitude is like pray and hide behind God,
acting like you're hard to get as if it shows who you are,
I hate a woman who'll never let you get your point across,
and what she says goes, she just talks and she talks,
and you're forced to a free, with whatever comes out her mouth,
but fuck it, keep looking for ways to not to trust me,
you can't handle true love when its right in front of you,
keep telling people what you need and what I need to do,
I gave it to you, you didn't see it, but you're right, I'm wrong,
ok then, I'll take it, if thats what makes you happy,
knowing everything, then gladly, you can have it,
you're just being you.

[Chorus] [Nick]

You Know Everything

NorCal Nick - You Know Everything ft. Kayne Martin

Lyrics:

I see through all your shit baby,
I like what I see,
You put that front out there for those people,
but you don't do that with me,

you know i like that,
i like your steez,
you know I like that,
youre just like me,
you know I like that,
from different scenes,
you know I like that,

you know I do,

Look at how u got me out here running 'round my crib
so when I pick up the kids,
I can see you for a kiss,
back at your house,

I wanna get back to the small couch,
where we talk 'bout,
all of the years that we missed out,
how many years has it been now?

oh damn,
I wish I woulda tried harder,
I was just a kid I’m sorry,
But to be honest,

I never forgot our days,
or all of the that love we made..
or all of the tears on your face,
the day I got on that plane.
My Gawd..

I see through all your shit baby, 
I like what I see,
little miss independent woman,
but you're not that way with me,
you know I like that,

I like your steez,
you know I like that,
you're just like me,
you don't even like rap,
you're just what i need,
oh you don't like that?
you know i can see,
but you see right back.

Its the way we talk until we fall asleep
and in between, our conversations,
Our bodies stop us, they start communicatin'
i'm tracing, the freckles scattered around you, 
like constellations,
I’m telling you baby, 
there’s no one else 
its the way you woke 
me up this morning at 4:40
With a cup of coffee,
Saying sorry,
But its time to start our day.

that was dope.
Then we talked, 
and that was cool, 

then we walked out to the car
And you kissed me and said 
we should go back in the door
call in sick and crawl back into bed

and in my head I wanted to say yes 
but.. ya you know..

I see through all your shit baby,
i like what i see,
little miss independent woman,
but you're not like that with me,

NorCal Nick - the world forgetting by the world forgot

Lyrics:

"I don’t know what this world is coming to",
they say that to me all the time.

But I am not so sure, 
I think they might lie,
I think if we were, 
To go and press rewind,
we would find,

All these days, 
look the same,

Its really just another shade of grey,
funny how we always wanna move in waves,
funny how they say were never on the same page,
but if you're zoomin out it don’t look the same way,

("Hey, there we are..")

were movin' as a body and the body’s at odds, 
Funny how we always wanna move like stars

then we push, then they shove
then we charge, then they run,
But we all fall together,
then we learn, and they learn,
Then we burn, who we were,
and we move that ball together..

---

"they say things aint what they used to be",
people always say these things to me,

But I am not so sure,
I think they might lie,
I think if we were,
To go and press rewind,

We would find,
everything today’s on course,

'cause we’ve come along way even tho we have more,
My grandma still alive and she wouldn’t be before,
i just facetimed my daughters while i'm off on tour,

the kids got it all and they can’t be stopped,
we ain"t gotta sell out for our shit to still pop,
You don’t wanna hear us out, but you know we still talk,
the futures so bright our light can’t be blocked,

then we push, then they shove
then we charge, then they run,
But We all fall together,
and we learn, and they learn,
Then we burn, who we were
and we move that ball together..

don't forget <3

Lyrics:
thank u,
For nothing in particular,
For coffee when I’m getting up,
For talking til the sun is up,
Im sorry that I kept you up, again.
thank u.
it's true.
I was so was done with love,
I said I had enough,
I said that love was war,
it's true.
we all fall to our knees,
but you made me believe,
we could break free, 
from that.
love is calling on me,
its been so long overdue,
used to say I was better alone,
now I know that I'm better with you,
thank u.
For nothing in particular,
for the coffee when I’m getting up,
for talking til the sun is up,
I'm sorry that I kept you up, again.
thank u.
its true.
i think I’m head over feet.
or is it head over heels?
I still give you that heat,
You still give me those chills.
I think I found me the real,
falling in love with that journey,
whatever brought me to you,
brought me to you with a purpose..
you know that it's only you,
you know that it's always been.
I can’t believe I ever let you go babe,
I don’t know how.
and you know I wish I woulda chased you down,
But how bout now?
thank u.
better late than never,
there's no better time than now,
baby stay with me forever,
I think you saved me from myself.
oh, it's true.
oh, thank u.
for nothing in particular
the way we fall all tangled up,
but when you're hot you hook your foot,
i probably woke you up to fuck, again.

NorCal Nick - thank u (prod. tomppabeats)

I'm the same guy, but I'm also kinda not.  - Nick <3 

Lyrics:
Phone full of the same friends I’ve known since back then
Phone full of the same women I’ve known since back then,
I haven’t changed to much if you’re still asking, no,
I haven’t changed…. 
But I'm not the same.

I know it,
You know,
I needed time to grow,

Out of my mind but all I’m all in my zone,
I’m feeling my vibe, did it all on my own,
they ain’t paying me right,  I ain’t leaving my home,
still might be Henny, or it might be smoke.. 

i ain’t fuck with your show,
‘Cause I was kickin’ it with my girl yesterday,
I ain’t fuck with your song,
‘Cause I was helping out my mom yesterday,

Oh it’s true, 

i’ve changed a lot,
I got the same heart,
I changed the lock,
I got the same boat,
i changed the dock,
But its still the same love,
That will not stop,
No, it, won’t.

its the same vision,
I just changed the lens,
Its the same God,
I just changed the hymn, 
I’m the same guy,
you still call me Nick,
You do.

Phone full of the same friends I’ve known since back then,
Phone full of the same women I’ve known since back then,
I haven’t changed to much if you’re still asking, no,
I haven’t changed…. 
But I'm not the same

NorCal Nick - The Same, But Not (prod. Autumn Keys)

You drink your liquor,
While I smoke my weed,
I play my music,
While you watch TV.
-
we’ve both had our nights,
we’ve both said our things,
We’ve both got some people
Waiting in our wings.
-
Hows that for truth?
baby,
Hows that for real?
you know,
we both know the cost,
then I'll,
pay up if you will,
-
you know,
why lie,
it's true,

My problems trust,
Your problems stress,
If I make to much time for you,
You’ll just make less,

You need your space,
Then I need my space,
Then you say you need me,
And I say the same.. 
-
Hows that for truth?
baby,
Hows that for real?
you know,
we both know the cost,
then I'll,
pay up if you will,
-
it's true,
You know,
Why lie

There's no reason to lie
there's nothing to hide
you feel the same inside
--
I give 2 fucks bout what you think I’m on,
Im on the next shit,
Im thinking real estate,
Im thinking pension,
i think investments,
Im feeling restless 
You mutha fuckas keep talking like you know me,
like you get me cause you got a mention
you want attention
Fuck you
Sue me 
Im used to it
Im to, true to it,
The truest truant to do it
Its true.
--
I don’t know what you’ve been told,
but all that shit you do for show,
thats wack,
Thats all facts
I don’t know what you’ve been told,
but you out here with groupie hoes,
and thats wack,
thats all facts.. 
Why lie..

you know

You drink your liquor,
While I smoke my weed,
I play my music,
While you watch TV.

NorCal Nick - Lift Me Up, Don't Bring Me Down (Voice Memo Vaults Vol 1.)

Let’s set sail, no farewells, 
Just pheromones, and rare stones,
Just ceremonies, and heirlooms, 
..the bare bones.

That’s you and me, we go together like dreaming on DMT,
Fall asleep, Waking up to a newer we, 
We feeling free,
You can see,
But if you can believe,
You can conceive,
You can feel the bluest skies you’ve ever seen,
For yourself, high as hell, might as well,
Tell a tale, climb a tree, light an L, might as well, make it we, fly to Paris,  Lady Time, said to stop staring, at her behind and well... woe is me, 
But baby let me write a little poetry, and  maybe you could be so kind to sing your soul to me, and watch me celebrate until they notice me, 
Who’s stopping me? 
Who’s stopping us?
No video, no photo opp,
How the fuck we get so fucking popular?
Just look all these people popping up, 
I set the bar, but then you talked it up,
Now we’re jumpin over Jupiter,
Now we’re sparking up the Universe, 
Let’s show the world what you can do, with you, a verse, microphone, and love.

Let’s set sail, no farewells, 
Just pheromones, and rare stones,
Just ceremonies, and heirlooms, 
..the bare bones.
