[Verse]


I was making J

apanese
          
And she's watc

hing DVDs
             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland
        
Now I'm drivin

g up the 5
        
And she waits 

till I arrive
             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland

Everything, th

at I wanted

Only gotta dri

ve for the mom

ent

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 and the mo

ments
             
But everything

              
 you do is so 

         
Oakland, so Oa

kland

[Bridge]

            
A tornado flew

        
 around my roo

m before you c

ame
             
Excuse the mes

              
s it made, it 


usually doesn’

t rain
            
In Southern Ca

          
lifornia, much

 like Arizona
             
My eyes don’t 

       
shed tears, bu

t, boy, they b

awl

[Chorus]


Foot on the ga

s
         
I'm just tryin

g to pass
        
All the red li

ghts
        
And the stop s

igns
    
I'm ready to g

o
         
Before I get t

o The Bay, Bab

e, that's a pr

oblem

Because I'm wa

y too scared t

o call
       
And you might 

get me to stay

, no


            
When I’m think

              
in’ ’bout cha-

    
Ooo, no, no, n

o
             
I’ve been thin

              
kin’ ’bout cha

      
. You know, kn

ow, know
          
I’ve been thin

kin’ ’bout cha
             
Do you think a

        
bout me still?
      
Do ya, do ya?

[Verse]

        
I don't really

 want to drive
      
But I think I'

d rather die
             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland
        
With my hands 

on two and ten
     
So I guess it 

all depends
             
On Oakland, on

 
 Oakland
        
And I'm nervou

s, truth be to

ld
        
I never saw me

 growing old
             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland
         
And if I marri

ed you tonight
         
It would proba

bly start a ri

ot
             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland

[Bridge]



Everything, th

at I needed
      
Now I finally 

got you in you

r feelings

Everything you

 won't say, yo

u tweet it
             
And a nigga do

              
n’t like that 

    
shit at all

So retreating

Can we just ro

ll with the fe

eling?

Can we just ro

ll for a minut

e?

Wait a minute

[Chorus]

     
Foot on the ga

s
         
I'm just tryin

g to pass
        
All the red li

ghts
        
And the stop s

igns
    
I'm ready to g

o
        
And I'm really

 not ready gir

l, that's a pr

oblem

Because I'm wa

y too scared t

o call
        
And you might 

get me to stay

, no


              
Or do you not 

            
think so far a

                            
head? Ahead
              
‘Cause I been 

              
thinkin’ ’bout

          
 forever. Ooo,

                
 oooo
Or do you not think so far ahead? (Ahead)
              
‘Cause I been 

              
thinkin’ ’bout

          
 forever. Ooo,

                
 oooo

[Verse]


I took off my 

nine to five
         
But you still 

don't have the

 time to
             
kiss me (just 


hit me)
         
And if I left 

you all alone,
          
would you stil

l pick up the 

phone
             
It's iffy, you

 
 miss me
            
I got furnitur

              
e to move, and

             
 we'll both be


 thirty soon
             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland
         
The only one I

 know is you,
       
so the fuck I'

m supposed to 

do?

             
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland
            
In Oakland, in

 
 Oakland (x8)
