Namaste' Lyrics

you've got your pretty lights poking down on these
your ugly greenback gods you've pushed all over me
i'll set you all on fire and burn the air you breathe
namaste' sinning star, but still i disagree
but i need you to be aware of the passion we all share
my habit of dreaming gets me nowhere

california wheeler dealer
everyone is someone special
los angeles is the killer
california is the devil

you've got your fancy clothes and your heart of gold
but you would sell that too to make me just like you
i am overwhelmed how your demeanor helped me understand your scene and everything between
cause i am larger than your state of unrelenting hate
my state of mind is back home
i'm breathing fine, thank you
i don't need anything
you've lost your mind if you don't mind me saying so
with all your talk of money
but i've got something more beautiful and you need to try this

california wheeler dealer
everyone is someone special
los angeles is the killer
california is the devil

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Jason told me that the song was about how California does not care about YOU. If your not on the radio then they don't like you. No one is friendly like there are here in Shreveport, La. The place were Tragedy is use too!!!
