When Woodstock was a mountain top
Rock N Roll was free
I wanna wave my flag in Tennessee
Tennnessee
I wanna see my name in lights
Well maybe, the cloudy view of my perception
Has led us in the wrong direction
Walking blind but not this time
We all started from different places with different names and different faces
I came from a city of music inspired
With Poets and activist whats your desire
Whats your desire
Whats your desire

It’s gonna be funky

It’s funky N Da house
We dancing N Da house
It’s stanky N Da house
Oakland’s N Da house

My heroes my mentors come from the Bay
I learned from them what to say
Grateful Dead, Carlos Santana, Cold Blood and Tower of Power
Sly and the Family Stone, Chris Isaak, Black Panthers, Fight the Power
Doobie Brothers, Sammy Hagar, Pointer Sisters, Bonnie Raitt, Green Day, Digital Underground, 49ers
Don’t hate Raiders, Warriors, Oakland A’s, Giants, Sharks
I come from a city that represents the heart

My heroes my mentors come from the Bay
I learned from them everyday

I learn from them everyday

Oakland’s N Da House ya’ll

It’s funky N Da house
We dancing N Da house
It’s stanky N Da house
Oakland’s N Da house

It’s funky N Da house
We dancing N Da house
It’s stanky N Da house
Oakland’s N Da house

E-Train gonna take you for a ride
