Oaktown

Do you know about my city, the city of Oak

Oh, don't you know

Do you know about my city, the city of Oak

Oh, don't you know

Now lets take a little trip down memory lane, when brothers played nothing but, the dope game

East 14th and 73rd

That's where the slangers hung tough sellin' bird

And if you go to Sabreny Park don't get caught slippin' Cause they poppin' a caps in little marks after dark

And right across the way is a hood called Brookfield

And all over the bay they all know about the 69 ville

Ridin' down MacArthur don't get caught trick

Or you'll be sittin' on bricks My town is not big but you better believe that if you slip

You're bound to get jumped and smoked in a place called Oakland

Do you know about my city, the city of Oak

Oh, don't you know

Do you know about my city, the city of Oak

Oh, don't you know

The high street is the place where this brother spit it to me

On how to be a mac G, and not a wanna-be

It wasn't about the bodies ya stacked up

But the money ya racked up

And when it came to standin' on yo ground you never backed up

Another day, another episode when fools got bold

Another stompin' another story to be told to the young butts

The future hood who's coming up show them the ropes

These days they paid stompin' fools who runnin' up

Keepin' in mind whenever they go out to grind

Keep an eye on (Public Enemy NO.1) one time

Cause they'll be makin' you get yo bail on Instead of gettin' ya mail on so skip the cash flow

We gotta' dash so We can stay to profit another day

And ask the Lord to bless the homies

Who here and those who passed away

Cause there's really no win in this game

A hype beginning then 9 times out of 10 a sad ending

I lift my head to the sky

For all the homies who died

They'd rather be in their grave instead of poor or tired

So beware cause they really don't care

They'll kill you for breathing the wrong air

Take it from me cause I'm from there

Although I dance, make ends, parties

I like to start Look beyond that you'll find and Oakland fool to the heart

Who's tryin' to warn these wanna-be's no to clown

I'm an O.G. fool the 0 stands for Oaktown

Do you know about my city, the city of Oak

Oh, don't you know

Do you know about my city, the city of Oak

Oh, don't you know
