Lyrics Koreatown Oddity - The Koreatown Oddity

Koreatown Oddity

It’s the Koreatown Oddity
My mama call me Dominique
My pops call me 'Nique
Some people call me K-Town when I’m out in the streets
I call Swift my big brother and he call me Dom P
The «P» stand for perty, if you knew me early in my journey
You might’ve called me that
When I was in school, my lady called my Dominic Q
My nigga Kyle Erbe call me D.P.G
He said «don't dim your light, they can’t stop what’s meant to be»
I think he was talking about destiny (destiny, destiny, destiny)
And don’t open up your mouth to say something to hate
When I already know that your breath stank
With the negative shit that people talk
They really need to use some mouthwash
And probably a water floss
And pour some Listerine in the tank
So many albums coming out every month at this rate
I wouldn’t be surprised if my Granny said she was dropping a mixtape
And she’s like eighty years old (eighty years old, eighty years old)
She got other grandkids but I know I’m her favorite though
L.A. is my home, my birthplace, and the only thing that I known
As intimately as I do riding around with my mom in a riot salute
Terry with the jheri curl tying plastic bags on his shoes
Koreans on the roof of the California Mart with the shotguns ready to shoot
The entrance blocked by shopping carts, you seen it on the news
I seen it with my own eyes, in person, cause I stay two blocks away
And still got VHS tapes from that day
I wanna win a Grammy, not for the accolades
Just to act super niggerish when I hop on stage
Grab the mic and say something, have white people outraged
And dead Nazis and KKK spinning in their grave
And shout-out the men, women and children that gave
Me the opportunity to do the things that they dreamed of
Take my trophy home and then stuff it with weed nugs
Think about my come-up and how it’s just begun
If insufficient funds was a jazz band, I would’ve been a huge fan
'cause of how I seen them so much
But the higher power always came through for me in the clutch
For that I gotta twist up a blunt and give thanks
It’s funny how a place I was raised is my nickname
I won’t forget where it started and how far I came
Can’t forget
Oh, can’t forget
Can’t forget where I come from
Can’t forget where I come from
Can’t forget where I come from
So what’s your plan, 'Nique?
Well, you know I was thinking like, if I just had enough dough to pay rent,
cover groceries, you know what I’m saying, get my weed here and there,
you know and some records, and some kicks every so often, you know.
Shit, I guess everything else would be extra
Dominique, son.
Let me help you.
There is no extras.
Everything is prevalent
right now in this existence.
Better yet, son.
It’s about chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit.
Chasing the spirit
