Chochenyo people
The Chochenyo (also called Chocheño, Chocenyo) are one of the divisions of the indigenous Ohlone (Costanoan) people of Northern California. The Chochenyo resided on the east side of the San Francisco Bay (the "East Bay"), primarily in what is now Alameda County, and also Contra Costa County, from the Berkeley Hills inland to the western Diablo Range.
Chochenyo (also called Chocheño and East Bay Costanoan) is also the name of their spoken language, one of the Costanoan dialects in the Utian family. Linguistically, Chochenyo, Tamyen and Ramaytush are thought to be close dialects of a single language.
The Ohlone tribes were hunter-gatherers who moved into the San Francisco Bay Region around 500 CE, displacing earlier Esselen people. In Chochenyo territory, recent datings of the ancient Emeryville Shellmounds and Newark Shellmounds attest to people residing in the Bay Area since the 4000 BC.
Chochenyo territory was bordered by the Karkin to the north (at Mount Diablo), the Tamyen to the south and southwest, the San Francisco Bay to the west, and overlapped a bit with the Bay Miwok and Yokuts to the east.

Walk Away Part I
by: Tia Jean[Verse 1:]
I used to pass you by,
Now you looking kinda fly
When I'm trying to denie this feelingn never saw it coming
Boy it's getting me confused
[Hook:]
Don't wanna have to lie
Bout where I've been tonight
You know I got someone whos waiting
Don't know how to face him
When your the only one that's on my mine
[Chorus:]
Oh you come so high
I know I really wanna
I'm asking what I got
I know I can't afford to
Oh it's getting to hot
I know I shouldn't stay so hot how comes I can't seen to walk away
[Verse 2:]
You got me questioning
The relationship of me
Getting closer everytime we meet up I'm feeling caught up
Here's the time we pull away
You filling up me time

Gotta tell you the guilts killing me It isn't in me
Tell me why you playing on my mine

Wondering why I haven't gone oh no
