[Intro]I was makin’ Japanese and she’s watchin’ DVDsIn Oakland... In Oakland…Now I’m drivin’ up the 5 and she waits ’til I arriveIn Oakland… In Oakland…[Verse 1]Everything that I wanted, only gotta drive for the momentIf you tell me turn around then I’m on it, for the momentBut you know me…You know how I get when I’m lonely – I think about you in the morningsBut everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland…[Hook]Foot on the gas, I’m just tryna passAll the red lights and the stop signsI’m ready to go…Before I get to the Bay, babe, that’s a problem‘Cause I’m way too scared to callAnd you might get me in stay mode[Verse 3]I’d really love to drive, but I think I’d rather dieIn Oakland… In Oakland…Will I end up doing things? Oh, I guess it all dependsOn Oakland… On Oakland…And I’m nervous, truth be told, I never saw me growin’ oldIn Oakland… In Oakland…And if I buried you tonight, it would probably start a riotIn Oakland… In Oakland…[Verse 4]Everything that I needed, now that I’ve got you and your feelingsEverything you wanna say, you tweet itAnd 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 passAll the red lights and the stop signsI’m ready to go…But I’m really not ready, girl, that’s a problem‘Cause I’m way too scared to fallAnd 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 gentlemanLast one didn’t end like it should’ve beenTour dates and he still wanna get it inAnd they sayin’ it’s because of the internetTry it once, and it’s on to the next chickX or the O face on your exes? Right?And we can do the same thing if you wanna have at itWhen your thoughts can’t breathe and you’re thinkin’ asthmaticAnd you wanna be a mom, and I wasn’t mad at itI was thinkin’ ’bout me, I be really bad at it‘Cause I’m thinkin’ ’bout me, weeks in DubaiFourth of July, house in KuwaiYeah, 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 soonIn 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…
