Hi BFamily! Hope you enjoy watching the Official Music Video to my new single, «Shoulda Coulda Woulda» ft Ashlund Jade! Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
We don’t need a conversation
I’m not here to try to change your mind
Keep my hoodie, you can take it
I’m just — dropping by to see if you’re alright
Heard you found yourself a new friend
I’m not jealous, he’s just not your type
Did you mean what you were saying
Don’t have to answer, I’m just saying
I know we’ve been here before
Maybe a couple of times
But I was stupid for what I did
For making you cry
Took you for granted, what else
I only thought of myself
I got everything I got, except you
I go crazy just thinking bout ya
shoulda coulda woulda love
On the daily just wondering what
I shoulda coulda woulda done
Cause you stood by me through whatever
And I coulda treated you better
I go crazy just thinking bout ya
My shoulda coulda woulda love
ohhh, ohhh
My shoulda coulda woulda love
ohhh, ohhh
My should coulda woulda love
I like it better when you talk less
Got some nerve for you to show up here
Tryna get all up in my head
Boy I thought I made it crystal clear, if ya
Really miss me, who’s that new chick
Tell me how that’s supposed to make me feel
How’d this get so complicated
I didn’t mean what I was saying
You know I hate to admit
I can’t get you off my mind
But you were stupid for what I did
One too many times
Took me for granted, what else
You only thought of yourself
And I hate I can’t get over you
I go crazy just thinking bout ya
shoulda coulda woulda love
On the daily just wondering what
I shoulda coulda woulda done
Cause you stood by me through whatever
And I coulda treated you better
I go crazy just thinking bout ya
My shoulda coulda woulda love
ohhh, ohhh
My shoulda coulda woulda love
ohhh, ohhh
My should coulda woulda love
Shoulda coulda woulda like
Me and here were stupid tight
Said I love you once or twice
Around 12 — rang the bell
And we had a Mayweather fight
Started bout a week ago
Tears and crying on the phone
Said she heard about me talking to some other chick named so and so
Truth is that’s a lie
I am faithful in relationships
Shorty’s like my high school hallway
Cause she’s walked through quite a bit
If I really love her like no other gotta let her know
Put a shoulda coulda woulda on the record cause I go
I go crazy just thinking bout ya
shoulda coulda woulda love
On the daily just wondering what
I shoulda coulda woulda done
Cause you stood by me through whatever
And I coulda treated you better
I go crazy just thinking bout ya
My shoulda coulda woulda love
ohhh, ohhh
My shoulda coulda woulda love
ohhh, ohhh
My should coulda woulda love

Lyrics:
(Snoop)
Greetings, loved ones
Let’s take a journey
(Verse 1)
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin’ gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees (undone)
The boys break their necks
Trying to creep a little sneak peek (at us)
(Pre-Chorus)
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love o o o o
(Chorus)
California gurls
We’re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin so hot
We’ll melt your popsicle
Oh oh oh oh
California gurls
We’re undeniable
Fine fresh fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
Oh oh oh oh
(Verse 2)
Sex on the beach
We don’t mind sand in our stilettos
We freak in my Jeep
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo oh oh
Pre-Chorus
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love o o o o
(Chorus)
California gurls
We’re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin so hot
We’ll melt your popsicle
Oh oh oh oh
California gurls
We’re undeniable
Fine fresh fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
Oh oh oh oh
(Snoop)
Toned tan fit and ready
Turn it up cuz it’s getting heavy
Wild Wild West Coast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones, I mean like she’s the one
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns
The girl’s a freak, she drive a Jeep and live on the beach
I’m okay, I won’t play
I love the bait just like I love LA
Venice Beach and Palm Springs
Summertime is everything
Homeboys bangin’ out
All that ass hangin’ out
Bikinis, zucchinis, martinis, no weenies, just a king and a queenie
Katy my lady (yeah)
Lookie here, baby
I’m all up on ya
Cuz you’re representin’ California
(Chorus)
California gurls
We’re unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin so hot
We’ll melt your popsicle
Oh oh oh oh
California gurls
We’re undeniable
Fine fresh fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
Oh oh oh oh
California
California
(Snoop)
California gurls, man
I really wish you all could be California gurls
