Koreatown Oddity - The Koreatown Oddity

It’s the Koreatown Oddity

My mama call me Dominique

My pops call me 'Nique

Some people call me K-Town when I’m out in the streets

I call Swift my big brother and he call me Dom P

The «P» stand for perty, if you knew me early in my journey

You might’ve called me that

When I was in school, my lady called my Dominic Q

My nigga Kyle Erbe call me D.P.G

He said «don't dim your light, they can’t stop what’s meant to be»

I think he was talking about destiny (destiny, destiny, destiny)

And don’t open up your mouth to say something to hate

When I already know that your breath stank

With the negative shit that people talk

They really need to use some mouthwash

And probably a water floss

And pour some Listerine in the tank

So many albums coming out every month at this rate

I wouldn’t be surprised if my Granny said she was dropping a mixtape

And she’s like eighty years old (eighty years old, eighty years old)

She got other grandkids but I know I’m her favorite though

L.A. is my home, my birthplace, and the only thing that I known

As intimately as I do riding around with my mom in a riot salute

Terry with the jheri curl tying plastic bags on his shoes

Koreans on the roof of the California Mart with the shotguns ready to shoot

The entrance blocked by shopping carts, you seen it on the news

I seen it with my own eyes, in person, cause I stay two blocks away

And still got VHS tapes from that day

I wanna win a Grammy, not for the accolades

Just to act super niggerish when I hop on stage

Grab the mic and say something, have white people outraged

And dead Nazis and KKK spinning in their grave

And shout-out the men, women and children that gave

Me the opportunity to do the things that they dreamed of

Take my trophy home and then stuff it with weed nugs

Think about my come-up and how it’s just begun

If insufficient funds was a jazz band, I would’ve been a huge fan

'cause of how I seen them so much

But the higher power always came through for me in the clutch

For that I gotta twist up a blunt and give thanks

It’s funny how a place I was raised is my nickname

I won’t forget where it started and how far I came

Can’t forget

Oh, can’t forget

Can’t forget where I come from

Can’t forget where I come from

Can’t forget where I come from

So what’s your plan, 'Nique?

Well, you know I was thinking like, if I just had enough dough to pay rent,

cover groceries, you know what I’m saying, get my weed here and there,

you know and some records, and some kicks every so often, you know.

Shit, I guess everything else would be extra

Dominique, son.

Let me help you.

There is no extras.

Everything is prevalent

right now in this existence.

Better yet, son.

It’s about chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit.

Chasing the spirit
