Obama and Wright by T-K.A.S.H. Lyrics
[Produced by T-K.A.S.H.]
[Verse 1]
Lately, I hear 'em sayin' they made me
Makin' me say, "okay please, make another me"
Fame has a way of replacing a man's morality
And he show what he says things, but they can't faze me
I put the revolution over
All the revolutionary rappers who hate me
'Cause when the revolution really ain't what they scream
It's basically a daydream, maybe I should've stayed mainstream
Shoulda kept the VS-1880
And the T-K.A.S.H. banner Aunt Jennifer made me
Shoulda rolled with God in the way he planned it
But I was just so tired of AC Transit
And I didn't know if God would make me a plan
To make me the man to make me stranded
Or make me stand in line and keep askin' why
I can't fly but these cats keep landin, yet and still
[Hook]
I ain't lookin' for no drama tonight
I'd rather keep it movin' like Obama and Wright
I ain't lookin' for no drama tonight
I'd rather keep it movin' like Obama and Wright
Obama and Wright, Obama and Wright
[Verse 2]
If you really wanna claim that you run Oakland
Be originally from Oakland
Don't get mad at me, because I happen to be
Past the beef that we had in the streets, man I'd done Oakland
Don't believe it if you hear that I can't come back to the fore
I'm funny style, or act like a ho
Man, I come through North Oakland whenever I want
That's regardless if you feel I keep it real or I don't
'Cause it's the white man's plan
To have us kill each other over white man's land
You got a couple stripes on the block
But that ain't nothin' to the bloodshed of the Black man
That saturates the white man's hand
So as young black males
We gotta muscle up with some comeback trail
'Cause bustin' at each other over dumb shit failed
And keepin' everything young even though this young ship sail won't prevail
[Hook]
I ain't lookin' for no drama tonight
I'd rather keep it movin' like Obama and Wright
I ain't lookin' for no drama tonight
I'd rather keep it movin' like Obama and Wright
Obama and Wright, Obama and Wright
[Verse 3]
Ten years ago, I fought Ryan at the Bay Area Rap Summit
It took a while to come back from it
Well mentally, yeah, but physically, no
In the contest of karmatic cyclical energy flow
I ain't callin' myself no sucka, I'm just lettin' you know
At the same time, plantin' the seeds of redemption and just lettin' them grow
'Cause I would if I could go back and change what I did
But I can't, and that's just how it is
We was all just kids in this life, and we live, and we learn
And we rise, and we fall, then roll out, then return
Back to where it all started, the dopest studio
That was really just a closet in me and Taurus' apartment
In Oakland on Eight Ave, you really missed the days past
'Til you realize that you can't take the days back
Full circle, expose ya, they know ya
You blow up, it slows up, it's over, close ya
[Hook]
I ain't lookin' for no drama tonight
I'd rather keep it movin' like Obama and Wright
I ain't lookin' for no drama tonight
I'd rather keep it movin' like Obama and Wright
Obama and Wright, Obama and Wright
