Chris Lockett - 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 f*ck was f*cking 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
