Ludwig Göransson - III. telegraph ave. ("Oakland" by Lloyd) lyrics

[Produced by Childish Gambino & Ludwig Göransson] [Directed by Hiro Murai] [Spoken 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: Lloyd] Foot on the gas I'm just trying to pa** 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: Childish Gambino and Lloyd] 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: Lloyd] Everything, that I needed Now that I got you in your feelings Everything you won't say, you tweet it And a n***a don't like that sh** at all So treated Can we just roll with the feeling? Can we just roll for a minute? Wait a minute [Hook 2: Lloyd] Foot on the gas I'm just trying to pa** 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: Childish Gambino] 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: Lloyd] 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 f** 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 In Oakland, in Oakland
