Transplants

Transplants is an American punk rock/rap rock supergroup. They formed in 1999 when Tim Armstrong (of the bands Rancid and Operation Ivy) played his friend and roadie Rob Aston some beats he had made using Pro Tools and asked Rob if he would consider contributing lyrics. Initially, Tim played all the instruments himself but as the project grew, he invited musician friends such as Matt Freeman (Rancid), Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), and Vic Ruggiero (The Slackers) to add to the sound. Before long, Tim and Rob decided to officially form a band, but to make things complete, they wanted a drummer, so Travis Barker from Blink-182 was asked to join in 2002.

"This song goes out to a good friend of mine
He lives life to the fullest, (yeah) every single day"

Down in Oakland 
I'm gonna find them
I'm gonna get them 
I'll go rewind them
You can not hide them
I will go find them
Oh down in Oakland
It's such a sinner

With a hard boy drunken Ballentine
He's got seven teeth left in his head, yea
He works at dark's in the day
At night he walks with the dead
And this lady come over to him
She want us take him for a ride
She said, "This dirty old town got no place a hide"

Time going away in town
And you got nowhere to go
Oh you can not move around
When your stuck in a blizzard snow
You wear your royals and eights
And you choose what's gonna be a sight
She said, "This dirty old town got no place a hide"

Down in Oakland 
I'm gonna find them
I'm gonna get them 
I'll go rewind them
You can not hide them
I will go find them
Oh down in Oakland
It's such a sinner

"Hey, where am I?"

Down in Oakland 
I'm gonna find them
I'm gonna get them 
I'll go rewind them
You can not hide them
I will go find them
Oh down in Oakland
It's such a sinner
