Aslari X - Oakland Streets слова песни
(Chorus: sung by Askari X)When it was Summer timeHot in the Oakland Streets,Man, I wished it would rainbut the sun kept shining on me (kept shining on me)But brother, when the Winter cameAlong with the storms and the windI couldn`t wait for that sun to shineDown on me again(Verse 1)I know your mama never said that there`d be days like thisI watched my brother play the game, he swung the bat and missed Three timing on block, the police jacked the man for selling yea25 to life, the brother had a baby on the wayHe told the judge, "I couldn`t get a job; and if I did,$4.75 an hour ain`t enough to feed my kid"Seems like a plot to keep me trapped inside a ghetto mazeAnd it`s a trip, a liquor store on every cornerBuy some drank, take a sipGet to slipping down memory lane, talkin about way back when a nickel bag of thai`d get me high(Lady sings)Super high super high(Chorus: sung by Askari X)That`s when I was a teenage childI didn`t have to pay no rentMama always cooked my foodDidn`t worry how my money was spentWhen I became a manI began to understandWhy "My papa was a rolling stone"By the time, had to slow his roll(verse 2)Yea, but even then brothers used to die, hustling to get they skrillaOn the for real-la, the police used to kill ablack man, jack him for nothing, beat him down like Rodney KingAin`t nothing changed since the 60`sDig what I mean: a smile is a frown turned upside downIt`s 1969, turned the right way aroundThe Yin and the Yang don`t pay no gang, and that`s the truthIf the Yang take the tears, it won`t make it through the years(Chorus: sung by Askari X)It`s revolution timeWe`ve got to set our people freeSome of you are going to lose your lifeFighting for your children and your wivesSo you better try to fill their mindsWith the teachings of Allah, from Elijah.Cause when the smoke clear, I`ll be hereBut if you don`t, you`ll be fuel for the fire(verse 3)Never judge a book by the cover, you study long, you study wrongYou lag in the game, you lose your lifeYou made your bed, now say goodnight Piggly Wiggly, cause we`ve been watching you for a long timeThe way you Beauregarde in your police carsRiding through my cityAsKari X is born and raised in the Oakland streetsWatching my mama`s baby daddy jack for bread and meatTwo in degree on that other level, that game was fed to meBut I aimed that negative energy at the enemyWhen I get the urge to kill a sleepy sucka, I buck a cracker, in the back of his dome, his skull shatteredThe gray matter they call brains splatteredup against the wall, the rest oozed out his head on the goochI took his skrilla, I left him dead as I fled the 7 deuceThe righteous black gorillas was in the sessionThat`s when I was moved to kick this lesson(Chorus: sung by Askari X)When it was Summer timeHot in the Oakland Streets, (hot in the Oakland Streets)Man, I wished it would rain, but the sun kept shining on meBut brother, when the Winter cameAlong with the storms and the windI couldn`t wait for that sun to shineDown on me again(singing lady improves until fade)
