Oakland Lyrics by ​birthday (USA)

Blue

2019

[Verse 1]
Oakland callin', kept the kids outside, kids outside, by moonlight
Block still buzzin’ under neon signs, watch the man, take a life
With my tight six hundred, with the one light up, one light on, saw it all
It was almost glancing right before the fall
Play on, play on, play on
[Chorus]
In the summer heat
Inside, inside we'll play
In the summer streets
Whenever, I could never, I could [?]
And if I could hide in my dream, light up the darker things
In the summer heat
Inside, inside we'll bleed
[Verse 2]
Oakland call it in the siren glow, siren glow, [?]
Folks start spillin’ out of their back doors, every door, wanting more
The saints go marching as they slide in through, slide in through, turning blue
And I didn't see nothin' when the lies are truth
Play on, play on, play on
[Chorus]
In the summer heat
Inside, inside we'll play
In the summer streets
Whenever, I could never, I could [?]
And if I could hide in my dream, light up the darker things
In the summer heat
Inside, inside we'll bleed
[Bridge]
Run, taking the last breath at a time
Please do not remind me now
Run until the road runs out
[Chorus]
In the summer heat
Inside, inside we'll play
In the summer streets
Whenever, I could never, I could [?]
And if I could hide in my dream, light up the darker things
In the summer heat
Inside, inside we'll bleed
