Oaktown Lyrics by Dangerous Dame

Jumpin

1989

[Intro]
Alright, I'ma bust a freestyle about my city
Know what I'm saying
Everybody else coming out with songs dedicated to they city
I'ma come out with one dedication to my city
And it goes a little somethin like this
[Verse 1]
There's something about the letter O in Oakland
Making people big time, wearing fat fat ropes and stuff like that
The dollars come fat
Little bitty old city, got the power that's packed
Chevs on the strip cold slammin the beat
The bass is hecka loud and it's shaking the concrete
Oakland's full of brothers wearing fresh gold rings
Sick fine girlies and thieving black dope fiends
The big O, I thought you would know
The fiends get smaller but the dope dealers grow
Too $hort was here and he was Born to Mack
Like all the Oakland brothers, cause it's like that
New York is the place where the rappers dwell
But I don't even care cause I'm hard as hell
Yes, Oakland's coming up, and it's gonna be known
As the itty bitty city of the microphone
Cause Dame's on the mic and I tell no lie
I'm a young sound master from Castle High
Got girlies on my jock cold asking me to marry em
Fiends want rocks, but sorry, I don't carry em
Clean cut brother, I don't do know crime
Sucka thought he won the battle but he's out of his mind
Cause I'm a Oakland brother and I don't lose
Black poet, don't you know it? Like Langston Hughes
Suckas try to take me out by using a gun
The bullets bounce off cause I am the one
I'm invincible, I'm just incredible
I started rocking on the mic 4 years ago
Spitting microphone thunder, never near a miss
Dopecut is my DJ, I'm the lyricist
This is the city I'm making in, I'm breaking in
Check this out, the city I'm staying in:
[Hook]
Oaktown
Yeah, now why don't you tell me where the real Raiders are supposed to be from?
Oaktown
Yeah, you got that right
Now, this side over here, why don't you tell me the same thing?
Oaktown
Yeah, I likes that, I likes that
[Verse 2]
Yes, the big Oaktown
The symbol of a gangsta
I don't play, I'm not no prankster
I'm Dame, that's my name
That big bad rhymer, rapping with game
I don't know why, but I guess I was born ta
Be living in Oakland California
The little city for big time actors, big time rappers, and big time factors
Big time people from big time games
Big time people like Dangerous Dame
The O-A-K-L-A-N-D, the C-I-T-Y of H-A-R-D
Yeah boooooy! Just to sum it up:
Oakland city, the city that's coming up
Hammer, Short, Ant, and Dame
And others who are coming but haven't yet came
Money, heart, everybody has it
Cougars, Chevs, Stangs, classics
Fresh to the tee cause the dollars they're making
Trues, Vogues, Wires, Daytons
Bald head brothers, others with curls
Rolling round, siding on material girls
I you say that I am leaving, I would say "oh never!"
Wrong you was boy, cause I'm here forever
Dame...and I won't be fazed
I'm talking bout the city I was born and raised in
[Hook]
Oaktown
Yeah, now why don't y'all tell me where are the A's from?, I wanna hear
Oaktown
Yeah, got that right
Now why don't y'all tell me who is the city of macks?
Oaktown
I likes that
