COME ON BABY (feat. 20XX)

Tell you 'bout love on the first night

I landed in the Bay,

didn't know who, what, when, where, why.

Just the bridge from the movies; songs about the bay.

San Francisco, here is I won't you take me by surprise?

Met a fellow on the street, he was singing to me

Figuratively. Too hard to believe.

The night, she cared for me.

Sick for a jazz tune I never heard.

Took a moment to ask, can I join?

And he said,

Come on Baby, do you like hip hop.

A little bit of soul. Have you heard of Balkin Nights.

Follow me down to mission street, to a hip little

dive where the love is free.

People

Pouring off the sidewalk,

Flowers in your hair

San Francisco in its prime

Revolution in the air.

Then they -

Closing up the venues, clean us off the avenues.

This is why we sing the blues.

See the people hear the cries.

"Stay with me little while..."

One kiss lead to something more!

Observe a hefty gentrification, stripping the nation.

We had it. - hands up. This is war!

Whisper a power in knowledge, and how to sweeten up the sour taste of hate.

All the while fill up my tank with facts.

You asked for help, but took advantage.

Took it over, smoked our ass.

And then they wonder why mi gente act out.

So -

Listen to the street,

To the beat, To the history

Listen to the people, Heed their cries, They can

Try to wipe the culture,

Try to sell you white composure

But they'll never truly own your mind.

Come on Baby, do you like hip hop.

A little bit of soul. Have you heard of Balkin Nights.

Follow me down to mission street, to a hip little

dive where the love is free.

People

Pouring off the sidewalk,

Flowers in your hair

San Francisco in its prime

Revolution in the air.

Then they -

Closing up the venues, clean us off the avenues.

This is why we sing the blues.
