Dope |
I got my start in the weed game |
Upgraded to pills |
Sold them to the kids in the flats and the kids in the hills |
And ooh, was they buying |
I was out here gettin' money for that new shit |
I was about to be driving |
Couple stacks got me a two-door Saturn coupe |
It was not cool but the sub made sure my shit knock, fool |
And my high school girl, she was fine I guess |
I mean no disrespect, I was not cute |
(Yo, where the fuck you from, boy?) |
My moms was a far-out hippie |
My pops was a damn Hispanic |
So census box checking got tricky |
I grew up in another town |
All my boys are from East Oakland |
Talk loud, get your head broke in |
Nah, we’re chill, we just jokin' |
Unless you don’t stop |
I drive ‘cause we all hate ho' cops |
Them fuckin' with the brown boys won’t stop |
Everybody slumped down at the red light |
Windows up, inside smellin' like a smoke shop |
I didn’t mean to call all cops hoes |
Some of y’all are just doin' your best |
But tryin' keepin' peace in the frat of the clan |
Just seems like such a futile thing to suggest |
I mean the coke and the pills that I’m sellin' was brought by |
The same FBI that would give me my arrest |
Ain’t unclear how crack blew up here |
Nicknamed the city so we can’t forget |
In the city of |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) in the city of |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) in the city of |
Oakland is where I’m from |
Whatever you want, we’ll sell you some |
It’s always been that way |
Wherever you from, anywhere in the Bay |
You gotta come to The Town if you wanna get down |
Spend a little money when you comin' around |
Get you what you want if you wanna get high |
Most niggas sellin' dope just wanna get by |
‘Cause we don’t get a lot of choices |
That’s why we talk with guns, not voices |
They say, «It ain’t no fun when you force it,» |
When you see us come, we want some more shit |
And don’t tell me what I act like |
Out here, everything is half price |
Except love and drugs is never enough |
You gotta pay top dollar if you want that stuff |
As long as there ain’t no drought |
Ain’t nobody tryin' to find a way out |
Fuck your inner-city programs |
I gotta sell this dope, man |
In the city of |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) in the city of |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) |
Dope (dope) in the city of |
«Where you really from though?» |
They love to pull that card |
Like nigga, you ain’t that hard |
Like, you never lived yo' bars |
Like being all up in the media smiling must mean I ain’t got scars |
Like seeing a way out and taking it somehow erases |
The place I started |
Before I had a name you might brand your kids with |
Pushin' cocaine was family business |
On 77th below 8−1-4 |
But when they rushed the crib with guns, we had to go |
And my folks said «you can have the dope game back» |
‘Cause it wasn’t a game when cocaine became crack |
So I grew up made stacks |
But surviving the city is dope, despite that |
And I still got fam on C Street |
Burners, blammers, that’s that |
Police sirens, tires, skeet skeet |
Windows rolled down, yak yak, that sound |
Love this soil, kiss it, this town |
In my blood and blood on the ground |
‘Cause it’s war out where we be now |
Some say we built this city on rock |
Rollin' with the |
Why you think they call the brains blowing |
Uncle Darren had to up at the stoplight |
That’s why we all gas, no brakes |
Long as you move, you got hope |
Plus we more scared of the cops than the gangstas out here |
In the city of |
Dope |
