lyrics

Aye
Have you ever gotten stoned on a boat?
In the water floating rocking slow
Excitement and solace both
Have you ever had a beer at the end of a peer
Watching the sun descend beyond San Francisco and disappear

Live in the Mission District
Work in North Beach
Get there via bicycle, BART, or port key
City street circuitry electrical
Uncertainty principle is perfectly symmetrical
Dub t all over SF like hills
With 2 turntables and the best rhyme skills
Find me on the dancefloor
Sunset parties and Futuro
Using truly dope tools in studios
Rolling deep 3rd St to Ocean Beach
So discrete you’d hardly even notice me
Life is not hard getting high from pot farms
That’s northern California for you
I’m a rockstar
Not the kind bumming change on Upper Height
The kind that makes the cables vibrate on the Golden fucking Gate
This cities expensive
Live cheap? Forget it
My apartment’s so small you’d think that Mini-Me rents it
But I stopped that complaining once I got acclimated
Night job that means days can focus on education
Northern Cali was built upon a valley of silicon
The bubble popped and everybody’s shocked that rent doesn’t drop
From 50’s beatniks to modern day hippie street kids
Anything that’s relatively recent
This city’s seen it
The way that native San Franciscans act is different
Strange creative fashion victims
Straight or gay both have charisma
Who cares how he got so buff
He’s strong so what
We all go nuts when we watch those fucking Bonds home runs
Strong earthquakes caused by tectonic plate fault lines
Are concrete splitting
Washed away by monstrous waves
We’ll all be swimming
My polyrhythms leave MCs washed up like Tsunami victims
Rapping at speeds faster than we send disaster relief
There was just a square at Post and Powell
I added Union
I control this town
Who’d you think - Gavin Newsome?
Over and out
