Oakland - Wrekonize

I’ve been thinkin' about us lately

Relationships they float in many ways

The distance never seemed so crazy

It’s just the way the cards had to be played

I played my hand you played your hand

A father had to be a man, a son just wanted to be loved again

And I do think about it daily

The way we were back then, no

I’ve been runnin' 'round for a minute

Been growin' my own soul

Been lookin' up at an image

I never could control

Been pushin' things to the limit

I think I might implode

It ain’t got to be this different

We could pick it up and just go, yeah!

I know this world is takin' you

To a place you ain’t approve, well

I was just hoping

That we could take it back a few

And do the things we used to do

I’m sayin' let’s go back to Oakland

You’ve been underneath the mood

Everything you see is blue

I just want to take it down to Oakland

I know that what I saw in you

Had a vibe, it had a groove

And I just want to go back to Oakland

And it felt so nice

What kind of paradise is hidden in this concrete?

I was a child but I was old enough to know that

Cali air brought you some peace

And I remember it, I remember it

Like it was yesterday

It was a simple time, a simple place

It seemed since then things have got complicated

I’ve been runnin' 'round for a minute

Been growin' my own soul

Been lookin' up at an image

I never could control

Been pushin' things to the limit

I think I might implode

It ain’t got to be this different

We could pick it up and just go, yeah!

I know this world is takin' you

To a place you ain’t approve, well

I was just hoping

That we could take it back a few

And do the things we used to do

I’m sayin' let’s go back to Oakland

You’ve been underneath the mood

Everything you see is blue

I just want to take it down to Oakland

I know that what I saw in you

Had a vibe, it had a groove

And I just want to go back to Oakland

I seen you regularly then, yeah

I seen you regularly then, yeah yeah yeah

I seen you regularly then

We were regular then

We were regular, we were, we were, we were…

We, we, we should go back to Oakland
