[Intro] I was makin’ Japanese and she’s watchin’ DVDs In Oakland... In Oakland… Now I’m drivin’ up the 5 and she waits ’til I arrive In Oakland… In Oakland… [Verse 1] Everything that I wanted, only gotta drive for the moment If you tell me turn around then I’m on it, for the moment But you know me… You know how I get when I’m lonely – I think about you in the mornings But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland… [Hook] Foot on the gas, I’m just tryna pass All the red lights and the stop signs I’m ready to go… Before I get to the Bay, babe, that’s a problem ‘Cause I’m way too scared to call And you might get me in stay mode [Verse 3] I’d really love to drive, but I think I’d rather die In Oakland… In Oakland… Will I end up doing things? Oh, I guess it all depends On Oakland… On Oakland… And I’m nervous, truth be told, I never saw me growin’ old In Oakland… In Oakland… And if I buried you tonight, it would probably start a riot In Oakland… In Oakland… [Verse 4] Everything that I needed, now that I’ve got you and your feelings Everything you wanna say, you tweet it And I nigga don’t like that shit at all… So treated – can we just roll with the feeling? Can we just roll for a minute? Wait a minute… [Hook 2] Foot on the gas, I’m just tryna pass All the red lights and the stop signs I’m ready to go… But I’m really not ready, girl, that’s a problem ‘Cause I’m way too scared to fall And I know you’d choose to stay, now… [Verse 5] All the girlfriends sayin’ “here we go again” Rich kid, but he act like a gentleman Last one didn’t end like it should’ve been Tour dates and he still wanna get it in And they sayin’ it’s because of the internet Try it once, and it’s on to the next chick X or the O face on your exes? Right? And we can do the same thing if you wanna have at it When your thoughts can’t breathe and you’re thinkin’ asthmatic And you wanna be a mom, and I wasn’t mad at it I was thinkin’ ’bout me, I be really bad at it ‘Cause I’m thinkin’ ’bout me, weeks in Dubai Fourth of July, house in Kuwai Yeah, we could try… So let’s try… [Verse 6] I took off my 9-5, but you still don’t have the time to kiss me? Just hit me… And if I left you all alone, would you still pick up the phone? It’s iffy… you miss me? I’ve got furniture to move, and we’ll both be 30 soon In Oakland… In Oakland… The only one I know is you, so what the fuck I’m supposed to do? In Oakland… In Oakland… [Outro] In Oakland… In Oakland… In Oakland… In Oakland… In Oakland… In Oakland…
