I was making JapaneseAnd she's watching DVDsIn Oakland, in OaklandNow I'm driving up the 5And she waits till I arriveIn Oakland, in OaklandEverything, that I wantedOnly gotta drive for the momentIf you tell me "turn around," then I'm on itFor the moment, but you know meYou know how I get when I'm lonelyI think about you and the momentsBut everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland[Chorus]Foot on the gasI'm just trying to passAll the red lightsAnd the stop signsI'm ready to go[Próxima Parte]Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problemBecause I'm way too scared to callAnd you might get me to stay, no[Verse 2]I don't really want to driveBut I think I'd rather dieIn Oakland, in OaklandWith my hands on two and tenSo I guess it all dependsOn Oakland, on OaklandAnd I'm nervous, truth be toldI never saw me growing oldIn Oakland, in OaklandAnd if I married you tonightIt would probably start a riotIn Oakland, in Oakland[Verse 3]Everything, that I neededNow I finally got you in your feelingsEverything you won't say, you tweet itAnd a nigga don’t like that shit at allSo retreatingCan we just roll with the feeling?Can we just roll for a minute?Wait a minute[Chorus 2][Próxima Parte]And I'm really not ready girl, that's a problemBecause I'm way too scared to callAnd you might get me to stay, no[Bridge]All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"Rich kid but he act like a gentlemanLast one didn't end like it should've beenTwo dates and he still wanna get it inAnd you're saying it's because of the InternetTry once and it's on to the next chickX-O the O face on your exes...right?And we can do the samething if you wanna have betterWhen your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmaticAnd you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at herI was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at itCause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in DubaiFourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can trySo let's try[Verse 4]WhoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaI took off my nine to fiveBut you still don't have the time tokiss me (just hit me)And if I left you all alone,would you still pick up the phoneIt's iffy, you miss meI got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soonIn Oakland, in OaklandThe only one I know is you,so the fuck I'm supposed to do?In Oakland, in Oakland [x8]
