Uh, welcome! uh, little boys and girls

Listen, I'm bout to lace yall 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
