City Of Dope Lyrics - Singles - Yukmouth

Gather 'round, gather 'round, hurry 

Uh, welcome! uh, little boys and girls 

Listen, I'm bout to lace y'all motherfuckers 

about Oakland, the City of Dope 

The first place in the world to ever sell base rock 

nigga, crack rock, they put it there to get rid 

of the Panthers, but they really created this ballin 

what, what, nigga 

Verse 1: 

Me and my niggas trying to ride drop 

buy rocks then we buy blocks 

from the same dope fiends on my block who buy rocks 

want supply hot 

weight servin cakes like IHOP 

ever since them last motherfuckers got shot 

police been hot on my spot 

spot cops FBI watch 

got fiber-optic shit up in the pole 

showing my whole clique on crime watch 

we let non-stop and show our faces 

so what the case is 

we wide on TV but still the grind don't stop 

nigga this Oakland, the city of dope 

You know where that crack shit was invented 

and smoked by these ghetto chemists years ago 

on Plymouth street we call the block 

Plymouth Rock 

the first place like the world to ever sell base rocks 

now check it, 

the legendary Phoenix Mitchell put it down 

so tough they had to make a movie about the town 

but called it Nino Brown 

That bullshit New Jack City 

is really based upon this place we call Crack City 

Oakland, Cali we act shitty 

think crack's the answer 

to get rid of these revolutionary Black Panthers 

Smokin' blow and takin (???) like Jo-Jo Dancer 

Or sniff it up your nose and ball out of control 

like Tony Montana 

house in Atlanta 

3-car garage 

our ghetto superstars was hard 

young niggas touch a mil-ticket 

before they life behind bars 

niggas get caught with like eighty kilos 

hidden in the wall 

but shit ain't hidden at all 

from these cocaine sniffin dogs 

same with the law 

shit in your draws when they get your ass 

and let the ballers ball, get the cash 

till they get to your ass 

I've never seen a baller fall on his knees 

and snitch so fast 

plea bargain run after them niggas 

that hang out with your ass 

no wonder why that bitch-ass nigga got out 

so quick, so fast 

came on the block my niggas saw you 

choppin' it up with task 

now that's a violation 

nigga can't chop it up with task 

so while the trial awaits 

some nigga walks up and pumped his ass 

Because the niggas in the O are hard as fuck 

we sell peruvian flake, get it powdered, or rocked up 

don't want nothin from life but to retire from the game 

motherfuckin city of cocaine, 

city of dope 

East Oakland, yeah that's right 

the city of dope 

East Oakland, yeah that's right 

Verse 2: 

them task folks can't stop us 

high school niggas get caught with a hundred G's 

stashed in his locker along with a chopper 

niggas be ballin like a doctor, or a surgeon 

M.C. Hammer splurgin' 

he bought up countless brand new helicopters 

and suburbans, now he hurtin 

the feds spilled they base downtown 

so now its curtains 

Niggas be perpin' off 

certain it's gon' be a sweep 

dope feind came through last week 

told me its gonna be a sweep 

1991's the number nigga 

end of the summer 

niggas ain't ridin no fuckin hummers 

we ride under buckets and try to stay on the slunder 

I wonder, wonder what they would do 

to a nigga who get caught with 2 pounds of thunder 

straight from Humboldt county, fuck that brown 

weed all should be green like the jungle 

dope fiends tryin to warn us 

settin' up scene still in a bundle 

we beat they ass and drag them from they hair 

just like repunzel 

don't fuck up our hustle 

But anyway the day came just as predicted 

I'm up at 6 in the mornin' takin early morning pissin' 

pulled down my britches, and a nigga almost shitted 

I heard somebody walkin on the roof 

I cocked the fo-fitness 

woke my cousin Mike up 

could be some niggas sent to strike us 

cause back then so many niggas didn't like us 

looked out the window, all I saw 

was FBI and snipers 

I let the china white flush 

and put that motherfucking 4-5 up 

see the dope fiend he informed us 

told us its gonna be a sweep and then 

he tried to warn us 

but niggas out here try to make they money 

so we 'nourmous 

then only a battering ram 

bustin down your shit, 'nourmous 

highway patrols, 5.0's, ambulance and coroners 

in case there was a shootout or high-speed chase performance 

by 9:00 they lock down each baller from every corner 

from north to west on down to east Oakland California 

but, but, them niggas from the O is hard as fuck 

we sell Peruvian flake powder or get it rocked up 

want nothing in life but to retire from the game 

with some change in the city of cocaine, 

East Oakland, yeah that's right 

city of dope 

East Oakland, yeah that's right 

city of dope
