[Intro]
Power 106!
La, it s ya girl, Yesi Ortiz
Got some brand-new music
I need y all to turn it up and let me know what you think
It s Lloyd called Oakland on Power 106

[Verse 1: Lloyd]
I was making Japanese
And she s watching Dvds
In Oakland, in Oakland
Now I m driving up the 5
And she waits till 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

[Hook 1]
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, and oh

[Post-Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
Everything, that I needed
Now that I 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

[Hook 2]
Foot on the gas
I m just trying to 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 you choose to stay, and oh

[Verse 3]
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 they re saying it s because of the Internet
Try her 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 at it
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

[Outro]
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 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 (x8)
