Bernal Heights Lyrics

(Intro)
She was born in the grassy hillside of Bernal Heights
Where the grass was greener, with the chill type demeanor
(Intro)
Her name was Carolina, glad to meet ya
Why don’t we paint a picture, I’ll bring my easel
Express yourself girl, I know you need to
And then we’ll quote some poetry
Haikus and ten-bar similes

Cause you know, (know, know, know, know)
(What you know?)
The world is yours
(Yes it is)

So turn your dreams, to reality
That’s what it’s made for

4x
And let's sing a song together…
(Sing a song, sing a song, sing a song)

(romantic banter)
Nah really, express something silly
Sing a song to get them hopping like toad on lily
Oh really, you're Pisces, well me I'm a Taurus
So swim into this verse and headfirst into this chorus
Of course, my head is enormous
Filled with all these fantasies far from a Lamborghin'
More like jumping 50 feet on a trampoline
And a Big Dippin in her Milky Way, I'm sampling
Cause you know, (know, know, know)
(What you know?)
The world is mine, yes it is
Cause I've been plottin' on you (Since when?)
Since 1999

4x
Let's sing a song together...
(Sing a song, sing a song, sing a song)

Watch this nigga flip this script upside
Down like a cigarette head on the ash tray
Flicking it, flicking through these channels as I see
False reality, TV, nigga twitch, slap her
Knock a pimp straight down in his pimp cup
That's the way you get stomped out in these black chucks

Walk around like I'm really strapped with the GAT tucked
Told these ninjas since duck tape I done had enough
"Mummifieded" face with the duck tape Slightly King tut
Keepin' Nefertiti slim waist with the round butt
Rah un nefer amen
Really metu neter from five till ten
Etching with the flow watch this gold coin spin
Universal with the flow no beginning or end
Tap into this universe and watch your orbit spin
These niggas ain't relating let me speak it more clean
If energy is never destroyed or created
It never shall expire just recycle and remake it
It don't matter if that bodies been buried or cremated
That spirit lives on call it reincarnation
What the funk is YOLO bounce back like pogo
Only nigga on the low riding round with a kimono
You know its always epic if you play it back in slowmo
Round house the beat and take a nap up in the dojo
Yeah that's my favourite song
Tell the DJ run back my favorite song
Yeah one my more
Yeah that's my favourite song
Play it all out
I hate my favorite song
Call me that radio killer, killer
Call me that radio killer, killer
Call me that radio killer, killer

(Outro)
Yeah, everybody wanna get high but
Check it out check it out
I did roll in the back of the bus like all my life
It's funny though cause that's where I found my wife
Man I hate the bus I'd rather just ride my bike
Pray that ass on my handlebars and everything all right

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Duckwrth speaking on his track: “Bernal Heights, the majestic hill that lives on the southside of San Francisco. In 2014, I wrote this song (produced by Spencer Stevens) about a shroom trip I had with a girl on this hill. Due to the push of the Nowhere project, I never got a chance to drop this song. So recently, Emmeline Kim, Free Bread and I came together to create visuals for BH. Unfortunately we couldn’t get to San Francisco to shoot this, so instead we used my old neighborhood in South Central, Los Angeles to create this story about romance, envy and sweet fuckin’ victory”
