Jack & Jack - Calibraska Album Lyrics

California

I can't stop, never let a hater
Kill your dreams, 19, I got paper
Katniss Everdeen
Odds always in my favor
I pull up on the scene, black tee and a Blazer
Won't chase a woman, I re-place
I'll make you have deja vu when I walk by
Like, "Hey it's that guy! Yeah aren't you from Vine?"
Hell nah I'm from Nebraska, get your facts aligned
But I ain't gonna lie, Jack and Jack
Did blow up on the app but we're more than that
Best duo in LA since Kobe-Shaq
We need a whole demolition just to hold us back
Run circles around the competition, culdesacs
Legs keep burnin' but it's so worth it
When you're young and earnin' money like a surgeon
Yeah it's cool and all but spreadin' love's my purpose

So who's gonna tell me I can't do
Anything I put my mind to
Now I ain't tryna hear it
Bitch get up out my ear
I'm just a midwest kid dreamin' California
One way ticket cause I had to show yah
Flow so sick, make you catch pneumonia
I'm never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way, no way
Never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way, no way
Never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way

I'm fresh up in the game and I'm here to stay
Don't really got my shit together, just appear this way
And I'm like everybody else, I got fears to face
Nowadays even the real are just a realist phase
And nobody's really what they seem
Learned that the hard way, cuts run deep
And these millions of people put their trust in me
Man I got a lot of pressure but I must succeed
So I'm a keep grindin' and workin', I'm finally certain
My life is not meant to be wasted
The line of success all these people be tracin'
That shit, it ain't me, I'm a play my own way
And I'm a little unorthodox, I can't lie
No I ain't gonna conform I rock my own style
Tell that to the fans and everybody by side
Yo we're headed to the top and you should keep a close eye

So who's gonna tell me I can't do
Anything I put my mind to
Now I ain't tryna hear it
Bitch get up out my ear
I'm just a midwest kid dreamin' California
One way ticket cause I had to show yah
Flow so sick, make you catch pneumonia
I'm never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way, no way
Never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way, no way
Never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way

Before I touched down, thought I had it all
Now it's midnight sessions, playin' basketball
My friends and my family, I'm a have to call
And tell 'em I'm never goin' home, yeah I'm never goin' home
No way

Midwest kid dreamin' California
One way ticket cause I had to show yah
Flow so sick, make you catch pneumonia
I'm never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way, no way
Never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way, no way
Never goin' home, n-n-never goin' home
No way

Shallow Love

Is a shallow love for real?

Everywhere I go, I see love turn into somethin' it's not
People caught up in the image, when's this shit gon' stop?
When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped
She's like, "Yes, babe!" Eyes still locked at the rock
He's got bands, he wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz
So they can both show off to their friends
They're in the whip, they're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to France
Damn, it seems like love's the only thing that they ain't in
Divin' in headfirst into some shallow waters
I'm just touchin' on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic
I'm not sayin' every couple with money's got this problem
But in some cases without the label, she'd be straight up robbin'
Takin' vows to the coffin on the wedding day
Ain't no prenupt needed, she convinced him it's true
Perfectly curved, believin' every word that she spewed
Was blinded by the beauty, can't see through

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?

So girl tell me what you in it for
Cause I'm young and livin' like a centerfold?
Is it cause I'm takin' you places that you ain't been before?
By the looks of it this love is too fake, we might as well just call the dentist, yo
You see why I'm trippin' though?
Cause man if shit's like this now
Then what's it gon' be like when we get to the pinnacle?
And I suppose only time's gon' tell
But as of now, we're doin' fine, no help
Girl you're a piece of work that God designed so well
But you don't need to check the worth before you ride with me
Put that man aside if he's all about bein' with someone just to get inside
Or if he's hopin' and prayin' that you gon' stay when he gets caught
When he slips up, fightin', pullin' all sorts and types of straws
Now the jig's up, left broken in pieces like a jigsaw
But that's just how shit goes
When you let the shallow love get hope
Girl I just wanna know

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?

Nowadays these girls be so ruthless
2 A.M. knockin' on my front door, who's this?
Girl I don't even know your name
This ain't the time yo
Oh my God this is so insane
Like I ain't even got your number saved in my iPhone

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?

How We Livin'

Man I swear to God this life we live is far from average
I'm havin' a blast even when I'm stuck in LA traffic
Now I never give a shit about the haters or the has-beens
The places we travelin' make you think you're trippin' acid
Cause the views are so amazin' when you're flyin' overseas
If you say my shit ain't fire, watch me heighten my degrees
Man the way we eatin' good, gotta floss every day
And my team, we so hot, we're never not in the shade
We're never not gettin' paid, we're makin' money as we toss and turn
But at the end of the day, it don't matter what you earn
Raised up on 101st street
Parents told me never let the money be the motivation, gon' and spread your word
So I'ma spread it, I'ma spread it like my wings
And you never know, tomorrow might not end up happening
So I keep it movin', got my foot on the gas
Life's better when you're livin' it fast, man that's a fact

Top down, and we PCH
Malibu with that purple haze
Ain't 21 but we pop champagne all night
That's just how we livin', we livin'
That's just how we livin', we livin'
Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door
No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow
Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

Back in high school my parents told me I stayed up too late
But now we're livin' on our own and they ain't got no say
Out here in the Golden State, sun's out, it's a gorgeous day
House up in the hills, that's the place where all the homies stay
Damn... no turnin' back
Two kids named Jack and we burnin' a sack
Yeah I sing and I rap, and they clap
Sellin' out shows, put the O on the map
Yeah that's Omaha, Nebraska, for it, yeah we hold it down
Hot on the West Coast, still gotta rep though
Starin' at my ceiling as I'm layin' on my couch, in my house
...Damn, dude, like we got a house
That shit is fresh, yo
Seein' as how a year ago we in class
Fillin' up college apps, goin' home, takin' a nap
Now we sellin' tracks and rushin' out, rushin' a frat
Life's better when you're livin' it fast, man that's a fact

Top down, and we PCH
Malibu with that purple haze
Ain't 21 but we pop champagne all night
That's just how we livin', we livin'
That's just how we livin', we livin'
Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door
No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow
Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

Full tank of gas
No obligations
We're makin' this last
Life is just one big vacation
Full tank of gas
No obligations
We're makin' this last
Life is just one big vacation

That's just how we livin', we livin'
That's just how we livin', we livin'
Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door
No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow
Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'
That's just how we livin', we livin'
That's just how we livin', we livin'
Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door
No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow
Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

Wrong One

You know, you know
You know, you know

You know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one
I love you, I hate you
It ain't cool, it's f*cked up
Crazy how two people fall in love with each other
Just to turn around and hurt one another
It's f*cked up
You know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one

You may have been the wrong one, but we met at the right time
Late night dinner date, sipping white wine
After hours, downtown like we fight crime
When you with someone around the clock, might find
That you learn to depend on each other
Then get sick of each other
Man, I miss how we used to be when we were so damn into each other
Every day I discover, something new about you
I put no one above you, you would ask "round two?"
Laying down in the covers
Body to body we sweating like the middle of the summer
Shit, I think I might love her
And the butterflies, they don't lie, but you sure do
Girl that's why, I'm internally conflicted deep inside
Looking for the right one, always coming up dry

So I ask myself, why are the girls that I fight with the same ones that I seem to f*ck with the most? (damn)
Emotions are drained, the passion, the pain, ain't got any more love to devote (nah)
I wish we could travel the world, London to Spain, Dubai, I heard Dublin is dope
You push me away then you pull me in close
You love me, you hate me, I just wanna know (just wanna know)

I just wanna know
How could you do me like that?
I just wanna know
I thought you knew me better
I just wanna know
Than to do me like that
Like that, like that

Cause you know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one
I love you, I hate you
It ain't cool, it's f*cked up
Crazy how two people fall in love with each other
Just to turn around and hurt one another
It's f*cked up
You know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one

Backstabbing was a daily habit
Girl, ain't it tragic how we thought we had it
All figured out, I guess time outlasted
Our will to love, these unburied hatchets are all we have
I can't imagine, that the world's gonna stop spinning on it's axis
And wait for us to catch up, this whole situation's messed up
My heart's honor broken, you just kept tugging
Back and forth hoping I wouldn't get fed up, I got fed up
Straight up, with the accusations, I'm aching for my next puff
Cause damn, you got a young kid stressed out
Friend's telling me you're getting around whenever I'm out of town
I can't seem to express how
That put a pit in my stomach, when I gave you my trust
Holding it down, saying

So I ask myself, why are the girls that I fight with the same ones that I seem to f*ck with the most? (damn)
Emotions are drained, the passion, the pain, ain't got any more love to devote (nah)
I wish we could travel the world, London to Spain, Dubai, I heard Dublin is dope
You push me away then you pull me in close
You love me, you hate me, I just wanna know (just wanna know)

I just wanna know
How could you do me like that?
I just wanna know
I thought you knew me better
I just wanna know
Than to do me like that
Like that, like that

Cause you know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one
I love you, I hate you
It ain't cool, it's f*cked up
Crazy how two people fall in love with each other
Just to turn around and hurt one another
It's f*cked up
You know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one

I did not know what to expect
Loving you felt better than these checks
Ow, yeah, and I didn't wanna hurt you
But this other girl's kissing on my neck
And she's fine, yeah, she's fine
I don't mind, I just might find the time
Cause I know just what you did last week
Did you really think you could slip that shit past me?
Girl, No way

Cause you know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one
I love you, I hate you
It ain't cool, it's f*cked up
Crazy how two people fall in love with each other
Just to turn around and hurt one another
It's f*cked up
You know how it goes
When you fall for the wrong one
