[Verse 1: 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[Hook 1]
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, and oh[Post-Hook]
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[Verse 2]
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[Hook 2]
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, and oh[Verse 3]
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[Outro]
Whoa
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 (x8)

Lupe Fiasco – Old School Love FT. Ed Sheeran
Give me that late 80s early 90s old school
Feeling like my second album, so cool
Chiraq summer looking so cruel
Look shorty in the eye, told me it was no rules
Went to speak but was like never mind
Let my mind just sneak back to a better time
When I was his age and if he’s ever mine
Thinking he would only think back to this and never find
Better times to think back to when it comes
And he’s older in the presence of somebody young
Telling him the same things that he told me
And he reacts the same way as that OG
But it’s old school, it’s like ’03
And this old man is my old me
Takes a long time to happen so fast
To realize that your future is somebody else’s past
Wassup…
[Hook x2: Ed Sheeran]
As long as I’m here, as long as you love me
Give me that old school love right now
[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Analog black vinyl spinning sounding so good
Top down, can’t be a classic if it’s no wood
If you don’t know what, then you new school
Floor model is the foundation for your YouTubes
Model flows off of Fat Boys and Juice Crews
Melle Mel’s, Ice-T’s, and the 2 Cools
Add a Moe Dee and a Double L
Had to walk cause it’s hard to run in those unbuckled shells
One microphone and a couple 12s
Six drum sounds and a couple bells
Is all you had to make a couple rails
And that’s a track, and if you want a (eeeeeeeh)
You have to make it like that
Now what’s one turtle to a couple snails?
Takes a long time to happen so fast
And realize your future is somebody else’s past
Wassup…
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]
Chiraq summer looking so cruel
How can I reel-to-reel when there’s Pro Tool?
I can’t dig it at all because there’s no tube
Fire when you speak but ain’t no warmth in your vocals
Might have been a better rhyme then just never mind
If it’s better with time then think in line
That you’re going to be your nicest ’round your midlife crisis
If you’re life like Christ live your midlife like it’s… Christ-like
Nigga I ain’t psychic
I know it’s all a cycle and everybody bike it
And France is enormous you’re Lance with endorsements
But you might need a hand to enhance your performance
Consider this a kilogram of encouragement
Teach you how to sneak it past the enforcement
And when you get it through in a manner so cool
Remember to give a little nod to the old school
Wassup…
[Bridge: Ed Sheeran]
Give me your old school love right now
I’m leaving it all up to you darling, giving you everything you want
And give me that old school love right now
You know that only you and me alone…
[Hook x2]
