And she waits till I arrive

Everything, that I wanted

Only gotta drive for the moment

For the moment, but you know me

All the red lights

And the stop signs

I'm ready to go

Before I get to The Bay Babe, that's a problem

With my hands on two and ten

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

Am
It would probably start a riot

In Oakland, in Oakland

Everything, that I needed

Am
Now that I got you in your feelings

F
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?

F
Can we just roll for a minute?

Em7
Wait a minute

But I'm really not ready girl That's a problem

'Cause I'm way too scared to fall
