Telegraph Ave. ("Oakland" by Lloyd)

I was making Japanese
and she's watching DVDs
In Oakland, in Oakland
Now I'm drivin' up the 5
and she waits till I arrive
In Oakland, in Oakland
Everything that I wanted
Only gotta drive for the moment
You can tell me "turn around" and 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 in the moment.
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
Foot on the gas
I'm just tryna 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
Cause I'm way too scared to call
And you might get me to stay
I don't really mind the drive
But I think I'll probably die in Oakland, in Oakland.
With my hands on 2 and 10 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'm married you tonight it would probably start a riot in Oakland, in Oakland
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't 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 you'd choose to stay
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 we 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're thinking asthmatic
And you want to be a Mom and I wasn't mad at it
I was thinkin bout me, I'd be really bad at it
Cause I'm thinkin bout me, weeks in Dubai
Fourth of July, house in Kauai,
Yeah we can try, so let's try
I took off my nine to five
But you still don't have 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
The only one I know is you
So the fuck I'm supposed to do
In Oakland (8x)
