New Oakland Lyrics

Catalytic converters

Tent cities

Robotic workers

Accidental murders

Califentanyl

Niggas pushin Tussi

Human shit on cement

Women sellin coochie

Teachers on strike

The mayor's fuckin up

Organized jackin

Teenagers comin up

Smoke ain't designated

Cuz you can get it too

We're living devastated

Bring the Black Panthers through

Ski masks when it's hot

Watch out

Patrol your own neighborhood

Scenic routes to the house

Mace em if your aim is good

Ladies leave your purses in your closets

Use your pockets

Empty your whip

Avoid the bippin

Use your noggin, it's the optics

Windows are costing

It's a trip

What visitors get as a gift is stripped or robbed

The souvenir is fear

It's a job

Don't bother calling cops

The coast ain't clear perk up your ears

Post-pandemic pandemonium

The new Oakland's here

I'm an Oakland native

The vibes' contagious

Even tho I say this

It's in declining stages

This monkey shit's outrageous

They robbin' old ladies

Give it up, no maybes

Punks be shootin babies

These boys are drug crazy

Out they body & mind

Too lazy

Ignored the "Help Wanted" signs

Human traffickin

Lost Africans

SUV pulled up

Now she's in back with them

Hope they don't push her to pimpin

They just might day & night

Tush pushin for the score

It's Bushrod, hoe or die

Say no more

At each light you best look left and right

Good God, If they get you first it's worse if you put up a fight

Purses are a thing of the past

Windows cracked when you park or you'll be purchasing glass

It's a spike in smash & grabs

Ain't no joke in Oakland hold the laughs

Stores closed on Telegraph

Lakeshore, & Broadway

It's a barrel full of crabs

The A's are bouncin

The Raiders moved

The money's leaving

Some say gone too soon

Shout to The Splash Bros

In San Francisco snow

That's glass on the ground

That's what insurance fo

Rates are high

Innocence is lost

You may sleep outside

Cuz life inside costs

I peeped you pocket tappin

Lookin at your boss

You boss is lookin at you

What we gon' do

I be steady rappin

About this Oakland city

Where rankin is cappin

You learn young & quickly

In intersections they whippin

Figure 8's

The Oracle is empty

It's simply concert dates

Go down the rabbit hole

This is a town's fate

Havin' a wealth gap

The parents grew up on crack

The mental health bubble

The county struggles for soul

Police got defunded

Now the streets' outta control

Yet they order a driverless whip just to strip

You can't beat em join the shit at the hip

It seems so pointless the city's so unequipped

Covid masks maskin' they fit

Paying attention to your attention deficit is they lick

The abandoned business district is sick

It's a panic. Panic

I be remiss not to channel a phoenix

Bring this place that I love back from ashes

Before it crashes

Sweet Jesus this is a message

To the investors of life, limb, & love

New Oakland needs a hug
