Verse 1
[Fm]
I was making Japanese
[Cm]
And she's watching DVDs
[Ab] [Bb]
In Oakland, in Oakland
[Fm]
Now I'm driving up the 5
[Cm]
And she waits till I arrive
[Ab] [Bb]
In Oakland, in Oakland
[Fm]
Everything, that I wanted
[Cm]
Only gotta drive for the moment
[Ab]
If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it
[Gm]
For the moment, but you know me
[Bb]
You know how I get when I'm lonely
[Eb]
I think about you and the moments
[Cm] [Gm]
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
Chorus
[Fm]
Foot on the gas
[Cm]
I'm just trying to pass
[Ab]
All the red lights
[Gm]
And the stop signs
[Ab]
I'm ready to go
[Cm]
Before I get to The Bay, Babe, that's a problem
[Ab]
Because I'm way too scared to call
[Gm]
And you might get me to stay, no
Verse 2
[Fm]
I don't really want to drive
[Cm]
But I think I'd rather die
[Ab] [Gm]
In Oakland, in Oakland
[Fm]
With my hands on two and ten
[Cm]
So I guess it all depends
[Ab] [Gm]
On Oakland, on Oakland
[Fm]
And I'm nervous, truth be told
[Cm]
I never saw me growing old
[Ab] [Gm]
In Oakland, in Oakland
[Fm]
And if I married you tonight
[Cm]
It would probably start a riot
[Ab] [Gm]
In Oakland, in Oakland
Verse 3
[Fm]
Everything, that I needed
[Cm]
Now I finally got you in your feelings
[Ab]
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
[Gm] [Bb]
And a nigga don’t like that shit at all
[Bb]
So retreating
[Cm]
Can we just roll with the feeling?
[Ab]
Can we just roll for a minute?
[Gm]
Wait a minute
Chorus 2
[Fm]
Foot on the gas
[Cm]
I'm just trying to pass
[Ab]
All the red lights
[Gm]
And the stop signs
[Ab]
I'm ready to go
[Cm]
And I'm really not ready girl, that's a problem
[Ab]
Because I'm way too scared to call
[Gm]
And you might get me to stay, no
Bridge
[Fm]
All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"
[Cm]
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman
[Ab]
Last one didn't end like it should've been
[Bb]
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
[Fm]
And you're saying it's because of the Internet
[Cm]
Try once and it's on to the next chick
[Ab]
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
And we can do the same
[Fm]
thing if you wanna have better
[Cm]
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
[Ab]
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her
[Gm]
I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it
Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai
[Cm] [Ab]
Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try
[Gm]
So let's try
Verse 4
[Cm]
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[Fm]
I took off my nine to five
[Cm]
But you still don't have the time to
[Ab] [Gm]
kiss me (just hit me)
[Fm]
And if I left you all alone,
[Cm]
would you still pick up the phone
[Ab] [Gm]
It's iffy, you miss me
[Fm] [Cm]
I got furniture to move, and we'll both be thirty soon
[Ab] [Gm]
In Oakland, in Oakland
[Fm]
The only one I know is you,
[Cm]
so the fuck I'm supposed to do?
[Ab] [Gm]
In Oakland, in Oakland [x8]
