Lyrics

Power 106!
 LA, it's ya girl, Yesi Ortiz
 Got some brand-new music
 I need you to turn it up and let me know what you think
 It's Lloyd, called "Oakland", on Power 106
 I was making Japanese and she's watching DVDs
 In Oakland, in Oakland
 Now I'm driving up the 5 and she waits 'til I arrive
 In Oakland, in Oakland
 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
 And I think about you and the moments
 But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
 Foot on the gas, I'm just trying to 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
 Because I'm way too scared to call
 And you might get me to stay, no
 I don't really mind the 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 nervous, truth be told
 I never saw me growing old
 In Oakland, in Oakland
 And if I married you tonight
 It would probably start a riot
 In Oakland, in Oakland
 Everything, that I needed
 Now I finally got you in your feelings
 Everything you won't say, you tweet it
 And a 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
 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 that you choose to stay, no-oh
 All the girlfriends saying, "Here we go again"
 Rich kid, but he act like a gentleman
 Last one didn't end like it should've been
 Two dates and he still wanna get it in
 And you're saying it's because of the Internet
 Try once and it's on to the next chick
 X-O the O face on your exes, right?
 And we can do the same thing if you wanna have better
 When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
 And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at it
 I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it
 'Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai
 Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah, we can try
 So let's try
 ♪
 Whoa
 ♪
 Whoa
 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 still pick up the phone?
 It's iffy, you miss me
 I got furniture to move, and we'll both be 30 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
 In Oakland, in Oakland
 In Oakland, in Oakland
 In Oakland, in Oakland
