Ant Banks Streets Of Oakland (Featuring Boots Of THE Coup) Lyrics

Featuring Boots (The Coup)

[Ant Banks]
Yeah, to the break of dawn, you know? Let's do this

Chorus:
n____s in Oakland all day long
Be pimping these hoes from dusk til dawn
Making cash real fast and you know it's on
Hanging on the streets of Oakland

All we do is smoke that weed
And drink brew on the ave til we get keyed
And a little bit of head is all we need
Hanging on the streets of Oakland

[Ant Banks]
Welcome to the danger zone, where the n____s don't play that
Every man for self, the rule is to stay strapped
Cause rat packers try to jack that a__
From the jealousy that's built in the streets when you stack cash
And they'll blast, hoping they can get get it
Punk, so if you got it, you best to get with it
Or quit it, cause n____s be flipping over dope and
Your friends might get you if you're slipping in Oakland
Yeah, so don't play no punk-a__ n____ close
Cause they'll mash on your cash and get ghost
And don't say Ant Banks didn't warn ya
About the loced-a__ gangstas killing in California
That's where I'm from, n____, rolling in my G-ride
Hey, you gonna see me slide when I'm on the Eastside
Making all my f___ing gitnotes
Making sure my gat straight smitnokes, s_____ng with my fitnokes
That's all we doing is the town is seeing b____es clowning
Kicking back getting high lounging
It really doesn't matter what you do, yo chilling with your crew
You're sipping on a brew, you're pimping b____es too
And the s___ don't bother me if that's how it's gotta be
Then macking these hoes should be equality
See, the game goes deep when you're rolling
Hanging on the streets of Oakland

Chorus

Nighttime falls and everybody's perking
No punks around so funks occurring
But the sideshow's back and everybody's flossing
In they ride trying to side and all the freaks are tossing
And brother with b__p, trunk of funk is knocking
Candy paint on they ride keeps the b____es jocking
Knowing you's a balling-a__ n____ everybody hates
Rolling in the town with a pound straight dropping weight
Blowing up like dynamite
Selling weed, yey, angel dust, hop, and China white
f___ it, you're making duckets, never riding buckets
Playing punk b____es like puppets
Yo, but there's a lot of fake counterfeit macks
Playa hating on they homies trying to dry cat
To look good for the hoes, man these n____s ain't joking
Boy, you get that a__ smoked in Oakland

Chorus

[Boots - spoken]
Aw yeah, The Coup is up in here, and we be talking about the
real. m_________as know that we know, that they know, that we
know the deal. Now the originality of our principality is that
we don't play the pimp. But the reality of our locality, and
you'll learn this gradually, is that m_________as do this s___
to pay their rent. But here's a hint: how we gonna get it straight
when we bent? s___, see I ain't never had s___ but my stripes
and my game and my life, and all them's just hand downs from my
grandaddy. Yeah, I'm living large kidding with Ant Banks, but I'm
still hustling food stamps for my candy apple red Caddy. Alright
