Lyric

California Kids

KSK

We wake up to the sun, streets loud and wild

Graffiti on the walls, yeah, that's our style

No one asks where you're from, it don’t even matter

We’re all just chasing dreams, climbing broken ladders

We got weed in the air, whiskey in our veins

Workin' through the chaos, dancin' in the flames

No room for judgment, no time for fear

We’re the California kids, and we’re still here

California kids, living life so loud

Mix of broken hearts and a rebel crowd

We fight for our names, we laugh through the tears

California kids, no shame, no fear!

Every block’s got a story, every face a fight

Some slingin' on the corners, some workin' late nights

Yeah, the gangs roll deep, but the love runs strong

It’s a crazy little world where we all belong

Skaters on the pavement, hustlers in the bars

Dreamers in the alleys, reaching for the stars

It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s everything we need

We’re the California kids, and we’re born to lead

California kids, living life so loud

Mix of broken hearts and a rebel crowd

We fight for our names, we laugh through the tears

California kids, no shame, no fear!

No white picket fences, no golden gates

Just a patchwork city where love and hate create

We’re all just trying, no one gives in

Scraped knees, big dreams, yeah, we’re here to win

California kids, living life so loud

Mix of broken hearts and a rebel crowd

We fight for our names, we laugh through the tears

California kids, no shame, no fear!

So here’s to the streets, the lives we made

To the broken, the bold, the unafraid

We’re the California kids, and we’re here to stay

Rockin’ through the chaos, every single day

Artist Profile

  • KSK

    Never Late to Rock Hello! I am a Japanese rocker raised in San Francisco. At 13, I picked up the guitar and dreamed of a career in music. By 21, that dream felt out of reach, so I stepped away and became a businessman. Later, I founded my own IT company, and now at 41, the fire of rock that has been dormant inside me has reignited. Today, I am blending human creativity with AI to deliver the ultimate rock experience. Follow me as I embark on this journey!
