III. Telegraph Ave. ("Oakland" By Lloyd) Lyrics - Childish Gambino

1 Power 106!

2 LA, it's ya girl, Yesi Ortiz

3 Got some brand-new music

4 I need y'all to turn it up and tell me what you think

5 It's Lloyd called "Oakland" on Power 106

6 I was making Japanese

7 And she's watching DVDs

8 In Oakland, in Oakland

9 Now I'm driving up the 5

10 And she waits till I arrive

11 In Oakland, in Oakland

12 Everything, that I wanted

13 Only gotta drive for the moment

14 If you tell me "turn around," then I'm on it

15 For the moment, but you know me

16 You know how I get when I'm lonely

17 And I think about you and the moments

18 But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

19 Foot on the gas

20 I'm just trying to pass

21 All the red lights

22 And the stop signs

23 I'm ready to go

24 Before I get to The Bay

25 Babe, that's a problem

26 Because I'm way too scared to call

27 And you might get me to stay tonight, and oh

28 I don't really want to drive

29 But I think I'd rather die

30 In Oakland, in Oakland

31 With my hands on two and ten

32 So I guess it all depends

33 On Oakland, on Oakland

34 And I'm nervous, truth be told

35 I never saw me growing old

36 In Oakland, in Oakland

37 And if I married you tonight

38 It would probably start a riot

39 In Oakland, in Oakland

40 Everything that I needed

41 Now I finally got you in your feelings

42 Everything you won't say, you tweet it

43 And a nigga don’t like that shit at all

44 So retreating

45 Can we just roll with the feeling?

46 Can we just roll for a minute?

47 Wait a minute

48 Foot on the gas

49 I'm just tryin' to pass

50 All the red lights

51 And the stop signs

52 I'm ready to go

53 But I'm really not ready girl

54 That's a problem

55 'Cause I'm way too scared to fall

56 And I know that you choose to stay, and oh

57 All the girlfriends saying "here we go again"

58 Rich kid but he act like a gentleman

59 Last one didn't end like it should've been

60 Two dates and he still wanna get it in

61 And you're saying it's because of the Internet

62 Try once and it's on to the next chick

63 X-O the O face on your exes...right?

64 And we can do the same thing if you wanna have better

65 When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic

66 And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her

67 I was thinking 'bout me, I'd be really bad at it

68 'Cause I'm thinking 'bout me, weeks in Dubai

69 Fourth of July, house in Kauai, yeah we can try

70 So let's try

71 Whoa

72 I took off my nine to five

73 But you still don't have the time to kiss me, just hit me

74 And if I left you all alone, would you still pick up the phone

75 It's iffy, you miss me

76 I got furniture to move and we'll both be thirty soon

77 In Oakland, in Oakland

78 The only one I know is you, so the fuck I'm supposed to do?

79 In Oakland, in Oakland

80 In Oakland, in Oakland

81 In Oakland, in Oakland

82 In Oakland, in Oakland

83 In Oakland, in Oakland
