Tekst piosenki
(Chorus: sung by Askari X) When it was Summer time Hot in the Oakland Streets Man, I wished it would rain But the sun kept shining on me (kept shining on me) But brother, when the Winter came Along with the storms and the wind I couldn't wait for that sun to shine Down on me again (Verse 1) I know your mama never said that there'd be days like this I watched my brother play the game, he swung the bat and missed Three timing on block, the police jacked the man for selling yea 25 to life, the brother had a baby on the way He told the judge, "I couldn't get a job; and if I did $4.75 an hour ain't enough to feed my kid" Seems like a plot to keep me trapped inside a ghetto maze And it's a trip, a liquor store on every corner Buy some drank, take a sip Get to slipping down memory lane, talkin about way back When a nickel bag of thai'd get me high (Lady sings) Super high super high (Chorus: sung by Askari X) That's when I was a teenage child I didn't have to pay no rent Mama always cooked my food Didn't worry how my money was spent When I became a man I began to understand Why "My papa was a rolling stone" By the time, had to slow his roll (verse 2) Yea, but even then brothers used to die, hustling to get they skrilla On the for real-la, the police used to kill a Black man, jack him for nothing, beat him down like Rodney King Ain't nothing changed since the 60's Dig what I mean: a smile is a frown turned upside down It's 1969, turned the right way around The Yin and the Yang don't pay no gang, and that's the truth If the Yang take the tears, it won't make it through the years (Chorus: sung by Askari X) It's revolution time We've got to set our people free Some of you are going to lose your life Fighting for your children and your wives So you better try to fill their minds With the teachings of Allah, from Elijah Cause when the smoke clear, I'll be here But if you don't, you'll be fuel for the fire (verse 3) Never judge a book by the cover, you study long, you study wrong You lag in the game, you lose your life You made your bed, now say goodnight Piggly Wiggly, cause we've been watching you for a long time The way you Beauregarde in your police cars Riding through my city AsKari X is born and raised in the Oakland streets Watching my mama's baby daddy jack for bread and meat Two in degree on that other level, that game was fed to me But I aimed that negative energy at the enemy When I get the urge to kill a sleepy sucka I buck a cracker, in the back of his dome, his skull shattered The gray matter they call brains splattered Up against the wall, the rest oozed out his head on the gooch I took his skrilla, I left him dead as I fled the 7 deuce The righteous black gorillas was in the session That's when I was moved to kick this lesson (Chorus: sung by Askari X) When it was Summer time Hot in the Oakland Streets, (hot in the Oakland Streets) Man, I wished it would rain, but the sun kept shining on me But brother, when the Winter came Along with the storms and the wind I couldn't wait for that sun to shine Down on me again (singing lady improves until fade)
