San Jose ( /ˌsæn hoʊˈseɪ/; Spanish: St. Joseph) is the third-largest city in California, the tenth-largest in the U.S., and the county seat of Santa Clara County which is located at the southern end of San Francisco Bay. The San Jose/Silicon Valley area is a major component of the greater San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.6 million people and the sixth largest metropolitan area (CSA) in the United States. It is also the most populous city in Northern California.
San Jose was founded on November 29, 1777, as El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe, the first civilian town in the Spanish colony of Nueva California, which later became Alta California. The city served as a farming community to support Spanish military installations at San Francisco and Monterey. When California gained statehood in 1850, San Jose served as its first capital.
After more than 150 years as a small farming city, San Jose and the surrounding Santa Clara Valley became the last (and largest) contiguous area of undeveloped land surrounding the San Francisco Bay. San Jose experienced increased demand for housing from soldiers and veterans returning from World War II. San Jose then continued its aggressive expansion during the 1950s and 1960s by annexing more land area. The rapid growth of the high-technology and electronics industries further accelerated the transition from an agricultural center, to an urbanized metropolitan area.

Star lit skies, Texas eyes
Looking down on me tonight
Across the street, strangers meet
Hoping to catch a rising star
You and I will stay up and wake up and then
One more day, come what may at the San Jose
Spend the night, become the night
You never run out of things to do
Moonlight swims, midnight sins
And rooms for a secret rendezvous
You and I, will stay up and wake up and then
One more day, come what may at the San Jose
One more day, come what may
[Chorus:]
we rock all the way from san jose
to the east time zone cause my microphone is worldwide
you can't hide, no matter where you reside
and it's all the same from the shores of maine
to the left coast where the sun leaves ya stained
we steady rock that doin' it , rock that do it
still bein' ill when we check one-two it
[Verse 1:]
sit back while I come and attack the similac dance track
your headphone jack is still in tact cause my nack for ripping the abstract
practical tactics, you're getting your rap fix in plastic
cellophane keeping it plain we stain ears with cheers from volunteers
who loving their raps clear and simple, but at the same complex
so I gotta open up and spit the bomb text
the conquest-idor you requested for, so what you think I was bringin out my best for
to restore the art prepare to depart, from san jo yelling land ho we flow
through the record pop I'm reckin shop and never stop
from the present back when my record dropped I copped attention
to make you sit back and listen
and bring your seat to an upright position
[Chorus]
[Verse 2:]
lean back unwind, let your spine relax
these tracks gonna take you on a magical ride
bonafide and certified 100 percent real and ill
and still reinventing the wheel.
it's a one-two punch with all the splendor
wack emcees get their tapes returned to sender
I got places to go and people to see
mics to meet, beats to freak, got knobs to tweak
so turn up the maines, lobster gettin' hot
all the way to TJ to hit a taco spot
then head north on the 5, its all the way live
from the 214, bringing Christ to your door
now the rubber hits the road like adidas hittin' stages
I compose hits upon college ruled pages
used as my treble clef and so def
jose can you see, we love to emcee
[Chorus]
[Verse 3a:]
I'm airborn till I find the place I never been
While I'm piloting my pilot ink pen
We move to new places trying to keep pushin
And if you drown in the sound your seat cushion
Can be used as a device made for flotation
tourin the nation, rocking my playstation
in the back seat while I make blake drive
going city to city just living off the vibe
[Verse 3b:]
and i'm doing my best to avoid the road rages
bumpin' sting's third LP, the soul cages
hittin' thrift shops and only clean rest stops
hoping everything's great, haven't eaten since eight
when we stopped at quizno's, I guess anything goes
left my calling card in case anybody needs tracks
selling stacks of wax out the trunk for wages
Sitting in a train, watching you listen to the rain.
You are cute, so cute and I ask you for your name
You say your name is like the sun.
Warm and happy for everyone, are you from town?
Which town? We're both on the run
I read a magazine about a girl with a dream
Who was looking to find a meaning
And she looked just like you
Say where are you going to?
Where are you going to?
Then
She said I'm going all the way to San José
And I hope you will follow me there
She said I'm going all the way to San José and I hope
You will follow me there
So then I drowned in your face and I swum in your
Mouth for a while
So wild and then the time arrived
And we talked until the sun came up
Behind the mountain tops which burst the sky
And I felt like I could fly
You made me feel so free,
Made me feel like I could be
On my way to eternity
So take me on a ride tonight you and i
We're gonna make it glide
Then
She said I'm going all the way to San José
And I hope you will follow me there
She said I'm going all the way to San José
And I hope you will follow me there
Then
She said I'm going all the way to San José
And I hope you will follow me there
She said I'm going all the way to San José
And I hope you will follow me there
This is what I heard inside my head longing for a
Change lying in my bed
Dreaming dreams of you I'm gonna make it too
This is what I heard inside my head
Star lit skies, Texas eyes
Looking down on me tonight.
Across the street, strangers meet
hoping to catch a rising star.
You and I, will stay up and wake up
And then...
One more day, come what may at the San Jose.
Spend the night, become the night
You never run out of things to do.
Moonlight swims, midnight sins
Rooms for a secret rendezvous.
You and I, will stay up and wake up
And then...
One more day, come what may at the San Jose.
(Instrumental)
One more day, steal away, come what may
At the San Jose!

writen by Bacharach & David
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long. I may go wrong and lose my way.
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.
L.A. is a great big freeway.
Put a hundred down and buy a car.
In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas
Do you know the way to San Jose?
They've got a lot of space. There'll be a place where I can stay
I was born and raised in San Jose
I'm going back to find some peace of mind in San Jose.
Fame and fortune is a magnet.
It can pull you far away from home
With a dream in your heart you're never alone.
Dreams turn into dust and blow away
And there you are without a friend
You pack your car and ride away
I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Do you know the way to San Jose?
