(Intro 1x)
Verse 1:
AmI was making Japanese
And she's Emwatching DVDs
In COakland, in DOakland
Now I'm Amdriving up the 5
And she Emwaits till I arrive
In COakland, in DOakland
AmEverything, that I wanted
EmOnly gotta drive for the moment
CIf you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
DFor the moment, but you know me
AmYou know how I get when I'm lonely
EmI think about you and the moments
CBut everything you do is so Oakland, Dso Oakland
Chorus:
AmFoot on the gas
I'm just Emtrying to pass
All the Cred lights
And the Dstop signs
I'm Amready to go
Before I Emget to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
CBecause I'm way too scared to call
And youD might get me to stay, no
Verse 2:
I don't Amreally want to drive
But I Emthink I'd rather die
In COakland, in DOakland
With my Amhands on two and ten
So I Emguess it all depends
On COakland, on DOakland
And I'm Amnervous, truth be told
I never Emsaw me growing old
In COakland, in DOakland
And if I Ammarried you tonight
It would Emprobably start a riot
In COakland, in DOakland
Verse 3:
AmEverything, that I needed
Now I Emfinally got you in your feelings
CEverything you won't say, you tweet it
DAnd a nigga don’t like that shiAmt at all
AmSo retreating
EmCan we just roll with the feeling?
CCan we just roll for a minute?
DWait a minute
Chorus 2:
Foot Amon the gas
I'm just Emtrying to pass
All the Cred lights
And the Dstop signs
I'm Amready to go
And I'm Emreally not ready girl, that's a problem
CBecause I'm way too scared to call
And you Dmight get me to stay, no
Bridge:
AmAll the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
EmRich kid but he act like a gentleman
CLast one didn't end like it should've been
DTwo dates and he still wanna get it in
AmAnd you're saying it's because of the Internet
EmTry once and it's on to the next chick
CX-O the O face on your exes...Dright?
And we can do the same
Amthing if you wanna have better
When your thoughts can't Embreathe and you thinking asthmatic
And you wanna be a Cmom and I wasn't mad at her
I was thinking 'bout Dme, I'd be really bad at it
Cause I'm thinking 'bout Amme, weeks in Dubai
Fourth of EmJuly, house in Kauai, yeah we can Ctry
So let's Dtry
Verse 4:
(Intro 2x)
I took Amoff my nine to five
But you sEmtill don't have the time to
Ckiss me (just Dhit me)
And if I Amleft you all alone,
would you Emstill pick up the phone
It's Ciffy, you Dmiss me
I got Amfurniture to move, and we'll both bEme thirty soon
In COakland, in DOakland
The only Amone I know is you,
so the Emfuck I'm supposed to do?
In COakland, in DOakland
In AmOakland, in EmOakland [x8]
Am
