iii. telegraph ave
“oakland by 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
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
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
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
