Oakland Pride Lyrics

Why would I want to be what I do

Living, living with my dreams

If I gotta pick a side, I'm on Oakland's side

Once you see a king shine, that's Oakland pride

I got the game from the OG's

I never had it on my co-D's

Bet all the good fellas vouched for me

Your mama probably hid a weapon in the couch for me

I got a cousin named V White

Kevin Lockett, that's killer

For me, 16th, I had a partner named Skrilla

Mike, a couple bricks will help you get right

A bunch of shooters in the bucket probably catch life

They probably catch life

Lord, help a child that can hold his own

I hopped off the porch, used to roll with stones

We talked business, but never on the phone

If your city wasn't the same, you were not alone

But there's no place to go, Oakland's my home

I know the dope fiends who probably sleep in they tent

holding they Coke screen

If you was feeling my vibe, it's like a dope dream

Aphrodisiac, I'm from the same city

where they came and filmed the Mac

I'm from the town pro-child Betty was growing at

Cold thangs' on the box chev'

I'm on the dice, trying to throw a seven

I'm up top, throwing up the 11

Let's hit a corner, we can paint the town

I'm looking good, look how they looking now

Look in my eyes, you looking at the town

Look in my eyes, you looking at the town

CL, if I gotta pick a side, I'm on Oakland's side

When you see a king shine, that's Oakland pride

I got the game from the OGs

I never had it on my co-Ds

Bet all the good fellas vouched for me

Your mama probably hid a weapon in the couch for me

I got a cousin named V White

Kevin Lockett, that's killer

For me, 16th, I had a partner named Skrilla

Mike, a couple bricks will help you get right

A bunch of shooters in the bucket probably catch life

They probably catch life

From A unit to the Y house

11 trap houses in the hood, this is my house

At the gangsta party, never ran into a mouse

Nice-sized dick probably ran into your spouse

Scandalous type individuals are running inside your house

Sophisticated criminals, we know the ins and outs

Way before the pimping, we constituted pimping

Own a million-dollar spot, everybody had some chicken

Enough to feed your team, enough to feed the fiends

Never been a dick rider over a pocketful of green

The sky's the limit, this Bentley wasn't rented

And you can't see nothing, all the windows tinted

Made my first stack with $100 a day

The fuck was fucking with us, he gon' give us a plate

Throw me a brick, I throw it back the next day

It's rolling, my neighborhood don't play

Used to skate in mojos, knocked a couple of slow hoes

Tongue of Silas, we wasn't talking to po-pos'

Bros over hoes, used to knock them at the shows

This a F.N., I be putting in your clothes

If I gotta pick a side, I'm on Oakland's side

When you see a king shine, that's Oakland pride

Check out the game from the O.G.'s

I never ratted on my co-D's

Bet all the good fellas vouched for me

Your mama probably hid a weapon in the couch for me

I got a cousin named V. White

Kevin Lockett, that's killer

For me, 16th, I had a partner named Skrilla

Mike, a couple bricks will help you get right

A bunch of shooters in the bucket probably catch life

They probably catch life

Where would I be

What would I do

Living, living with my crew

Where would I be

What would I do

Living with my crew

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
