    Edit: Strange, one year after I made this comment the thumbs down number is 147. Maybe they thought we were really coming for their thumbs!

    "California (Hustle And Flow)"
    Running around like you’re front page news
    Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots
    Tattooed heart and your jet-black hair
    Running ‘round like you don’t care
    Take me down
    Take me on down the line
    Well, I was born, babe, with nothing to lose
    But the black man taught me how to sing the blues
    Made a little life outta rock ‘n’ roll
    And that crazy California hustle and flow
    Take me down
    Take me on down the line
    Shake me down
    Shake me on down the line
    I went too fast with that rhythm and booze
    Almost ended up dead like all those other fools
    Everyone’s got some sort of ball and chain
    What’s life without a little pain?
    Take me down
    Take me on down the line
    Shake me down
    Shake me on down the line
    Living in a Hollywood movie dream
    And I’m still reaching for the stars
    Life gets hard and then it gets good
    Like I always knew it would
    Running around like you’re front page news
    Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots
    Tattooed heart and your jet-black hair
    Running ‘round like you don’t care
    Take me down
    Take me on down the line
    Shake me down
    Shake me on down the line
