Tek #2 Songtext
von Raphael Saadiq
Tek #2 Songtext
Yeah, this next skit right here is about my hometown, Oakland, California
Home of the Oakland Raiders
Home of J. Kidd, Jason Kidd
Home of Todd, Too $hort
Home of G.P., Gary Payton
Home of Shakur, Tupac, you know
But, I tell everybody, man
Just ′cause you from The Town don't mean you gotta stay in The Town and ride out, let The Town kill you
You gotsta move out and do something then come back and help your people
You just can′t stay there and sit there and rot
Just 'cause we from Oakland—you gotsta leave this town
That boy always gonna be Ray Ray—remember the days of '94?
Remember he used to wear them polyester pants and shit?
Always got them guitars
Nigga took his guitar to the grocery store one day, man
Had it on his back—shh shh shh, here he come, here he come, here he come
Yo, what up, y′all? What′s up, man? What's Bobba? What′s up, Lamont?
What's going on, Saadiq?
Yo, what′s up, dawg? I'm just over here looking for T. Hatter, man. Y′all seen T. Hat?
T. Hatter is in the bushes, man, the trimming
Oh, is that right?
They started laying niggas down around here, man
It's too hot, it's too hot, especially when you got folks out here on these streets struggling
Yeah, you know′m′sayin', I′m tryna make it too, baby
It's nothin′, do something for a playa—all in the video—I mean, can I be in the video? Can I be down?
Ha ha ha, y'all crazy as hell. Y′all niggas still crazy
Can you get me one of them girls on MTV?
MTV? You don't want one of them white hoes
Man, I'm tryna meet Janet—what′s the deal, yo?
What? Ha ha, I don′t even know Janet, dawg
Come on, man, I heard you were on tour with Janet one time back in the day
Ha ha, that was old, man, I'm tryna meet some girls around my way
Man, well can I meet Prince? You know what I′m sayin', that′s my nig
Ay dawg, let me meet J. Lo
He a cool nigga, but check it out though, if y'all see T. Hatter, man, tell him I came through and I′ma come back and get with him next week. If y'all see his sister, I'ma come back straight to the spot. I′ma get with y′all, man
Man, word, man, keep your h
