It’s been over half a decade and I still think this is the best version of this song

[sherrrrrr]

Back here after 7 years and it’s still so good 😰

[BfrshBrian]

I knew I made the right decision subbing to this channel a few days ago.

[SavageThrifter]

Dang I haven't heard this cover in forever. Still a vibe

[JennaEmbers]

Your voice is butter, I swear I'll never tire of hearing it. Keep putting out excellent material. Your covers and originals are brilliant. 

[Denemil]

I'm usually sceptic of acoustic covers of rap songs, but this was pretty good.

[Anjele]

Love this cover and the style of the video!

Possible cover request; 'Goddess' by Banks and/or a English versions of 'Eyes, nose, lips' by taeyang (I've found three so far, le sigh).

[tommypearce]

The description, "A Childish Gambino cover, because the Internet, " nice

I just messed around with some chords and this is what I came up with, guys :)
Main chords (just repeat for verses and chorus: CAPO 2 - F, Dm7, Am, Dm
**Sometimes mix the F up with an Fmaj7 for a variation of sound.

For the pre choruses:
Dm7
You know how I get when I'm lonely
Fmaj7
I think about you and the moments
Am, Dm
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

This may not be exactly what she does, but it sounds nice and in the right key :)
Enjoy!

[Lu]

I'm madly in love with this cover.

[xavier.molina]

My mind was just blown the part where you started spittin got me hyped

[ItzRoger]

I really respect her ability to apply her style to almost any song without it sounding off.

[johnandrew]

Well damn. Never knew I'd fall in love through a video.

[MarinaLinMusic]

oh my god...i'm literally speechless. You always amaze me! :)

[johndavies]

How do you do it? Lovely gentle caressing poignant rap.

[cutepinksocks]

A year later and I still love this cover so much. The feels....

[feslegend]

[Verse 1]
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
I think about you and the moments
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

[Chorus 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

[Verse 2]
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 you're saying it's because of the Internet
Try 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 better
When your thoughts can't breathe and you thinking asthmatic
And you wanna be a mom and I wasn't mad at her
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

[Chorus 2]
And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
Yeah, now I'm so high
Now I'm so high

[Outro]
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 hell I'm supposed to do?
In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland
