“oakland by lloyd”
(cont.)
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
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
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
