TwoFourteen - Oakland

Oakland Oakland Oakland the whole day through
It's just a sad sweet song
But Oakland I'm coming home to you
Yeah
I'm coming home to you

Catchin cold from the rain
Permanent damage from a lot of pain
There's a sickness on the westside
Grown men can't express their weak side
Kids can't have nothing new
Trouble is all they get to get into
And good things don't last long
Nobody safe to get comfortable
The blame can't be me or you
You're a kid but it's kids who raised you
The closest people mistreat you
Don't start to hide
We all were made to be see through
The whole city still looks the same
And I don't know if it'll ever change
Youngins swerving cover every single lane
You can't tell him nothin you ain't never had to feel his pain

Oakland Oakland Oakland the whole day through
It's just a sad sweet song
But Oakland I'm coming home to you
Yeah
I'm coming home to you

Fuck whoever try to judge
Incarceration happen by the bunch
Nobody write you while you inside
You get out everybody wanna show you love
A gotta look good on the outside
Cover up what's on the inside
Tryna remove yourself from what's real
Cause you feeling like you can't deal
Don't know how to deal with it
So you smile Let um see yo grill with it
It's deep rooted and you still feel it
It ain't ok
Cause the clothes don't fix that
The chains don't fix that
The rings don't fix that
The weed don't fix that
The drinks don't fix that
The lean don't fix that

Oakland Oakland Oakland the whole day through
It's just a sad sweet song
But Oakland I'm coming home to you
Yeah
I'm coming home to you
Oakland Oakland Oakland the whole day through
It's just a sad sweet song
But Oakland I'm coming home to you
Yeah
I'm coming home to you
