lyrics

Baytrified (freestyled)

Ohlone Tribe: I can’t begin to tell you where I been
All that I can say is,I won’t be goin’ back there
I can’t begin to tell you where I been
All that I can say is,I won’t be goin’ back there
No time soon…
Yay E Yay E Y’all. Yay E Yay E Y’all

I heard the Bay ain’t the Bay no mo’
Well, if that’s so, then homie just say no mo’
I know you got that doe from all that ‘dro
What happened to the ‘Sco done happened to the O’
What happened to East Palo Alto though?
What happened to Newark?
What happened to Doug’s famous Bar B Q pork
What happened Bushrod?
What happened to young gods throwin’ up the North
Side on these on muhfuckas?
I know the police still killin’ young brothas
I know the pimps still pimpin’, We all got the symptoms
Of loosin’ our rhythm cuz They came through with
that whole new dimension known as tech inventions
tech suspension, tech Life henchmen
Doin’ that gentrification dance
Just so the Singularity can advance

Ohlone Tribe: I can’t begin to tell you where I been
All that I can say is,I won’t be goin’ back there
I can’t begin to tell you where I been
All that I can say is,I won’t be goin’ back there
No time soon…
Yay E Yay E Y’all. Yay E Yay E Y’all

Now, where I’m from no longer exists
Last time Eye went back, I couldn’t believe that shit
Whole city got a muh fuckin’ face lift
It’s like, somebody went back in time
&reversed all the slave ships
It’s like my grandparents never even made the trip
From Arkansas to Los Angeles, Up to the Bay
Work at the cannery all damn day
& all night just to raise the quality of livin’
Now, They done gave the same that They was givin’
The Ohlone people when They destroyed that land
& destroyed that man & then built They houses
& brought they spouses
&hired my grandmamma to iron they blouses
Now, it’s time to see if they gone give crack to They community
You dig me, Yay?

Ohlone Tribe: I can’t begin to tell you where I been
All that I can say is,I won’t be goin’ back there
I can’t begin to tell you where I been
All that I can say is,I won’t be goin’ back there
No time soon… Yay E Yay E Y’all. Yay E Yay E Y’all

You know, some of the worst memories of my life
were experienced in Oakland, California
Oakland, California - Oakland, California
But at the same time, some of the best memories of my life
was experienced in Oakland, California
Oakland, California - Oakland, California
So, the paradox is tremendous &the gentrification is endless
But we’ll see ((((( Word Up))))))
You never know what’ll happen
After, after, after the wealthy get sick of the Bay,
you know what I mean? Like They did before but, hey
We got the Bay in Our spirit, We got the Bay in Our soul
&for the folks that remember& the folks that know, Let’s-

(Set Trippin’ cosmists)
