Only gotta drive for the moment

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

For the moment, but you know me
Em
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Bm
And I think about you and the moments
G A
But everything you Do is so Oakland, so Oakland

Foot on the gas
Bm
I'm just trying to pass
G
All the red lights

And the stop signs
Em
I'm ready to Go
Bm
Before I get to The Bay babe, that's a problem
G
Because I'm way too scared to call

And you might get me to stay, and oh

I don't really mind the drive

But I think I'd rather die
G F#m
In Oakland, in Oakland
Em
With my hands on two and ten
Bm
So I guess it all depends
G F#m
On Oakland, on Oakland
Em
And I'm nervous, truth be told
Bm
I never saw me growing old
G F#m
In Oakland, in Oakland
Em
And if I married you tonight
Bm
It would probably start a riot
G F#m
In Oakland, in Oakland
[Verse III]
Em
Everything, that I needed
Bm
Now that I got you in your feelings
G
Everything you won't say, you tweet it
A Em
And a nigga don’t like that shit at all
So treated
Bm
Can we just roll with the feeling?
G
Can we just roll for a minute?
A
Wait a minute
[Hook]
Em
Foot on the gas
Bm
I'm just trying to pass
G
All the red lights
A
And the stop signs
Em
I'm ready to Go
Bm
But I'm really not ready, girl
That's a problem
G
Cause I'm way too scared to fall

And I know you choose to stay, and oh

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

And they're saying it's because of the Internet

Try her once and it's on to the next chick
G F#m
X-O the O face on your exes...right?
Em
And we can Do the same thing if you wanna have at it
Bm
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
