You could be in New York City, or even in Paris France, but when youre in the Oakland Zone, you remember how to dance, yall
You could be a hustler, you might give those dice a roll, but when youre in the Oakland Zone, you do it with a lotta soul

Chorus: Oakland Zone (Tower of Power)
In the Oakland Zone

You might live in a harem, or maybe even out of a trunk, but when youre in the Oakland Zone you do it with a lot of funk, yall
you might be in turmoil or total serenity, but when youre in the Oakland Zone, you be listenin to R and B

Chorus: Oakland Zone (Tower of Power)
In the Oakland Zone
Oakland Zone (T-O-P)

You might be feelin happy or drownin in the blues but when youre in the Oakland Zone, at least youre gonna catch a groove, yall
You might be an old geezer, or you might be a real young punk, but when youre in the Oakland Zone youre really gonna funk it up...oooh!

Chorus: Oakland Zone (Tower of Power)
In the Oakland Zone
Oakland Zone (T-O-P)
