Power 106
LA, it's ya girl, Yesi Ortiz
Got some brand-new music
I need y'all to turn it up and lemme know what you think
It's Lloyd called "Oakland" on Power 106

I was making Japanese
And she's watching DVDs
In Oakland, in Oakland
Now I'm driving up the 5
And she waits 'til I arrive
In Oakland, in Oakland
Everything that I wanted
Only gotta drive for the moment
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 in the moment
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

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
'Cause I'm way too scared to call
And you might get me to stay, no

I don't really want to 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

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 retreating
Can we just roll with the feeling?
Can we just roll for a minute?
Wait a minute

Foot on the gas
I'm just tryna 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 that you choose to stay, no

All the girlfriends saying, "Here we go again" (go again)
Rich kid but he act like a gentleman (gentleman)
Last one didn't end like it should've been (should've been)
Two dates and he still wanna get it in
And they're saying it's because of the Internet
Try once and it's on to the next chick
XO, 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

(Talk, say some things)
(Say some things)
(Oh) whoa
(Oh) 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?

In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland
In Oakland, in Oakland

Overall Meaning

In Childish Gambino's song III. Telegraph Ave., the singer describes a long-distance relationship fraught with fear, uncertainty and longing. The song's opening features a radio DJ introducing a new track by R&B artist Lloyd called "Oakland" on Power 106, a radio station in the Los Angeles area. The singer is making Japanese food in Oakland while his girlfriend watches DVDs. He then drives up the 5 freeway to Oakland to be with her. The singer is nervous and unsure about the relationship, singing about his fear of commitment, the desire to leave and the fear of staying. He worries that if he marries her tonight, it would start a riot in Oakland.

Line by Line Meaning

I was making Japanese And she's watching DVDs In Oakland, in Oakland
I was occupied with Japanese cuisine while she was excitedly watching DVDs, and all of this took place in Oakland.

Now I'm driving up the 5 And she waits 'til I arrive In Oakland, in Oakland
I'm currently driving up to Oakland on freeway 5, and my significant other is waiting for me there.

Everything that I wanted Only gotta drive for the moment Tell me 'turn around,' then I'm on it
All that I desire is in Oakland, and I only require a moment’s drive. Moreover, if she requests me to turn around, I’ll do it promptly.

For the moment, but you know me You know how I get when I'm lonely And I think about you in the moment But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland
This could be just for the moment, but you know how I get when I become lonesome, and I ponder over us during the moment. Irrespective of that, you conduct yourself in a unique Oakland style.

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 'Cause I'm way too scared to call And you might get me to stay, no
The accelerator pedal is down, and I'm attempting to pass by traffic signals and stop signs. I aim to arrive at The Bay, but that's problematic because I don't wish to call you, and you might convince me to remain there.

I don't really want to 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
Frankly, I don't want to drive there, and I would willingly lose my life. Nevertheless, I steer at ten and two while we're in Oakland, so it all depends on that.

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
Honestly, I'm anxious since I never imagined growing old in Oakland. Moreover, if we get married tonight, it would most likely begin a disturbance there.

Everything that I needed Now that I got you in your feelings Everything you won't say, you tweet it And a n***a don't like that shit at all So retreating Can we just roll with the feeling? Can we just roll for a minute? Wait a minute
Previously, all that I yearned for is presently with you, and it prompts you to become emotional. You tweet everything that you can't express, and this annoys me. Perhaps we should retreat from this scenario and just go with the flow for some time.

All the girlfriends saying, 'Here we go again' (go again) Rich kid but he act like a gentleman (gentleman) Last one didn't end like it should've been (should've been) Two dates and he still wanna get it in And they're saying it's because of the Internet Try once and it's on to the next chick XO, 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
The girlfriends are already predicting the future outcome. Although I'm a rich kid, I behave like a gentleman, but my previous relationship didn't end well. We've been on two dates already, but I still want to make love to you. According to them, it's because of the influence of the internet. If I make a single mistake, I'll move to the next girl. As for you, XO reminds me of the expression on your ex's face. If you want a better relationship, we can try the same thing. Your thoughts seem like an asthmatic person gasping for air, and you aspire to be a mom, which I don't mind, but I don't think I'll be good at it. Instead, I imagine weeks in Dubai, the Fourth of July, and a house in Kauai.

(Talk, say some things) (Say some things) (Oh) whoa (Oh) whoa
There's a conversation happening, or people are just making small talk. This could be expressing emotions about something, but ultimately it leads to a 'whoa' reaction.

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 f**k I'm supposed to do In Oakland, in Oakland?
Although I quit my nine-to-five job, I don't even have the luxury of a single kiss. If I leave you alone, would you still answer my call case. Honestly, the situation feels uncertain. I have a bunch of furniture to move, and we have much less time before we hit 30. The only person I know is you. I'm in Oakland - what does the future hold for me here?

In Oakland, in Oakland In Oakland, in Oakland In Oakland, in Oakland In Oakland, in Oakland
Repeat of the chorus, affirming the setting is still Oakland.

In the "Worst Guys" video with Chance the Rapper, at around 1:47, you can see a gash in his leg . This is presumably how the alien entered his body

In "Sweatpants," it is implied that Alien Gambino slowly is infecting the world. This concept is showcased throughout the video in the diner, where all of the guests slowly turn into him

In his "Urn" video the aliens seem to communicate with each other through interpretive dance

In his "3005" video,everybody behind Gambino seemed to be teenagers or young adults. Note how the Teddy Bear also remained looking clean and new. If you fast forward in the video, you will see the people in the seem to be aging, and the teddy bear has deterioted. It is implied that as time passes, Gambino doesn't age due to an alien-like quality of immortality

In his "Zealots of Stockholm [Free Information]" video, take note of how the theme park is on fire. This is presumably the Gambaliens taking over the world. As the world crumbles and burns, one figure stands silently watching over everything. This is presumably the Gambino alien himself

At the end of his "Telegraph Ave. (Oakland by Lloyd)" video, Gambino reveals his true alien form to Naomi (Jhené Aiko), provoked by a strong feeling of love, but also fear upon seeing the headlights. (I also have another theory which I will post later, upon how this all started with camp.)

In the movie "After Earth" with Jaden Smith, all of the Gambaliens go after Jaden instead of Will. Jaden happens to appear as a feature in Bino's new album "Kauai," depicted as the boy which is really gambino's inner monster and alien and there are lines mentioned in that album, "I ain't afraid to drop a couple sky miles" and "we could get a spaceship" stuff like that

Even gambino even has a few youtube shorts where in one, there is this former pornstar who is walking around his house and only he can see her, nobody else can, and he pulls a gold molar out of his nose. In his screenplay, the ending has an ending "dude 1 looks at gambino and sho" In yaphet kotto you can also see a tentacle coming out of his leg. This could mean why he was not afraid to drown. He knew he would live. Keep in mind yaphet kotto was his imagination so we do not know what it means, also yaphet kotto was in an alien movie in 1979

Explanation of Telegraph Ave Video (full)

-Firefly is the start with the spaceship landing on Earth bringing the thing to Earth which a couple find and a man enters and launches back into space trapping the thing on the Earth.
-Next is Bonfire with the tale of the boy who died and is trapped reliving his murder over and over. The alien discovers him and absorbs his memories up to his death and takes his appearance.
-After that we have L.E.S. with the alien integrating into society as it lives and makes friends in NYC. It begins to forget what it is and thinks it's fully human.
-Following that is the Heartbeat video which details the beginning of a relationship he has with a human.
-The Worst Guys takes place after that with him falling in love with the woman and embracing human life.
-Telegraph Ave is the follow up and ending of that relationship with his rediscovery of what he actually is which leads into the next video.
-Sweatpants is his descent into insanity as he's torn between his belief the he's human and his rediscovery of what he actually is. He feels like he's constantly repeating his actions which leads to the loop and the humanity in him makes him see himself in everyone but he knows he's different.
-3005 is the climax with his conundrum of who he is as he descends into insanity which leads to the destruction of a city/the world.
-Urn is the end/epilogue where he finds peace with himself and with the remaining humans.

Lyrics:
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 moment
But everything you do is so Oakland, so Oakland

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

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

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

Foot on the gas
I'm just tryna 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

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're 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

In Oakland, in Oakland

I interpret this video as basically the locals (people from his past) know he's a monster/a bad person/a loser. Gambino is trying to leave that behind him and start fresh with Aiko. But the past won't let it go. They see him and see him doing well, so confront him about his demons and thus, bring the monster out of him. Aiko loves him regardless of his history. It's deep fam.

For those who dont get the video heres the explanation of this video and previous ones!

in the worst guys, at 1 46 you can see a large wound on his lower leg. While he was in the water an alien entered through his body. in the video sweatpants everyone in the diner is a "gambalien" and by the ending everyone turns into gambino, the whole point of all of them being there was to be secret. as they all were meeting up to discuss on how they were going to take over the world. in 3005 everyone on the ferris wheel is young in the beginning and the teddy bear is clean. while the video progresses the bear starts to desecrate and the people in the back start aging and growing old, gambino stays the same meaning the alien form that took over his body has a side effect of not aging. also at the end the town is on fire meaning the gambaliens took over the town. this video shows that while gambino is on a getaway with Jhene Aiko, the townspeople discover that gambino is not just an outsider, hes some sort of extraterrestrial alien and that he is a threat. i also found that at 1:37 if you look at the very left inside of the cabin that you can see someone almost crawling or sneaking, this could easily reference to a line in 3005 that says "Assassins are stabbed in the back of my cabin" or it could have been a crew member in the shot, still worth pointing out. so in the ending they try to get rid of him and protect Jhene. but they didn't really plan the attack so they died. at this point gambino lost everything, his girl, his respect for himself (he never wanted to become an alien like he did and wanted nobody to know about it) and he figured out that he needs to leave and find something new. thats everything leading up to this video, the final piece is actually the song "sober." in sober the time period is estimated to be in the future of the last videos. theres snow falling and everything seems normal. the video takes place in a carry out restaurant where gambino is attracted by a girl who doesnt really give him the time of day and thinks he's some creep. after she gives him the chance they start dancing together and having fun. but even that didnt keep her around for long as she leaves the food place and he feels sad and alone again.

@deleted07

5y↑136

Nescoh I think your theory is genius,and agree with it all except for the sober link. I believe since sober is in a different album, it is an entirely independent timeline. I also feel that if sober was in the ''because the internet'' timeline, then the gambaliens would have over taken the world and there would be no other person then gambino. but that's just my opinion

It's crazy how i watched this and almost all of Gambino's other videos go from the hundred thousands (and some even less) to the millions almost overnight once he dropped redbone. It's amazing how one song can propel an artist to bigger heights then their entire previous catalog combined. And then that exposure results in the boom of sales in all their previous work. Which then goes to show that the music was always good. Some people just didn't know of him, while others need to be TOLD what to like without even realizing it. Many people don't like an artist until other people do, or until that specific artist gets steady rotation on the radio and music video networks. It's like they won't like somebody until it's confirmed by the masses or the labels that it's good music. Smh. Gambino BEEN tight. At least he's now getting the props he deserves tho. Better late than never.

That's called cultural mediation. Happens to movies, plays, shows, and in fact all art (painting, poetry, novels, etc.). That is the definition of art, when it spreads like that. When authors win Nobel Prizes, their books suddenly go out of print. Everyone wants to ride the wave once culture has picked it as significant.

Have you ever just listened to a song you've known for years and wish you could relive the moment you discovered it ? Like rediscover the feeling you had when you first heard the song and had it on repeat all the time ? Well, I never feel like that with this song or this video, every time I press play on both , it's like the first time. I still get the same feeling I had the first time.

Thank you Childish Gambino. This is the most played song on all the playlists on my phone. Also , I've never related to this song more in my life than I do now. I got a girlfriend and we'll both be 30 soon , she lives far away and she wants me to move to where she lives so we can be together, except ; I don't know anyone else from that place but her. Also, I think " I'd be really had at it " ; being a dad.

Everyone's going along with this "he's an alien thing". Here's my interpretation: if you notice, whenever he is hurt (gets hit by the car in this video, in the worst guys when he has that gash in his leg, in 3005 when everything is burning) he constantly stays by his lover. I think this is all just one big saga, even if you listen to the lyrics, telling a love story with the ups and downs and the great things but evil that can come out when it comes to loving someone. I may be completely wrong and delusional, but that's how i see it.

@RachidPardoTV

10y↑178

found this theorie online. What do you think?
*I haven't read the screenplay, so there are probably holes. My theory goes as follows:
In the Worst Guys video an extraterrestrial aquatic creature attached to and entered Gambino through his leg.
In the 3005 video Gambino is the only person on the ferris wheel that doesn't age as the video progresses. This reveals how he is not human, but instead some alien species that can take the form of other organisms such as in the 1978 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers or even Men in Black. Since Will Smith, the Boy's/Jaden Smith's father, hunts down aliens, the aliens decide to target his son, Jaden Smith in the form of Gambino. The apocalyptic image at the end of 3005 reveals the imminent end to man kind by the hands of aliens in the year 3005.
In the Sweatpants video the aliens are spreading rapidly. In the diner all of the people were aliens taking different forms so that they can discretely meet to discuss how they could take down the human race. By the end of the scene they all morphed into Gambino.
According to the Urn video , the aliens communicate by this strange animalistic form of dance/body movements. With the Gambino alien in the center of the circle, it suggests that he is the leader of the group of aliens. One alien even has fur.
The animalistic/strange dancing is also seen throughout the Telegraph Ave. video . When the Gambino alien enter the water he turns into his natural alien squid form (if you look at the tail closely, you can see they are tentacles) (EDIT- it looks more like a sea lion underwater not a tentacle creature. ) Finally when he gets hit by the car at the end, it reveals his true form to the one human he loves/cares for and wants to keep alive, Naomi aka Jhene.

@vom1t

10y↑25

Although this is a great theory, I think the "alien" is more to be taken as a metaphor for losing yourself, not knowing who you are or where you belong, than to be taken literally. I would highly suggest reading the screenplay because this video definitely puts it in an odd context.

This video was shot in Kauai which is why he released this video at this exact moment. He had this video shot about two months ago because he posted the artwork (the photo that was shown in the video) around that time. The editing and cinematography (which is top quality) probably took them a long time to edit together which is why it wasn't ready to be released then. Also, the release of STN MTN/Kauai was about a week ago (cue Schmoney dance music) so this was the perfect time to release this music video. And the fact that he did it at the ACL Festival was even more epic. And this ties into the screenplay that he released for Jhene Aiko is playing Naomi and Gambino is The Boy and this serves as a dream that The Boy has for him and Naomi. As for the ending, I think that's just Gambino telling the world that he's out of this world. If you look at his career, he's a screenwriter, comedian, rapper, producer, programmer, and this was a statement that he's not from this world. Also, this is telling Naomi that he will do anything for her love. Either way, we cannot deny Gambino's creativity in his music videos. The last music video was great and this is great too. And there aren't that many artists in general that would end a music video or take this much time on their videos or projects like this. Lastly, because this is on the internet, maybe Gambino is telling his fans to not believe the ending. Maybe he's telling his fans to believe only what he states about the video. Or maybe not. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I don't know anything. Maybe I should just leave it to everybody else on the internet. Or maybe we should just leave this to Gambino. Either way, believe whatever you want to believe.
Gambino is a mastermind.
Side Note Also, if you go back to The Worst Guys video and pause at the 1:47 mark, you will see a mark on Gambino's leg. So, that explains the transformation in a literal sense at the end.

@jamesmilligan1267

its a alien story line
the worst guys- he hangs out with some friends
sweatpants- aliens start taking over (the aliens all look like him)
sober- he thinks he meets his girlfriend but just imagines it
telegraph ave- aliens kill his girlfriend and friends (it was an alien the whole video)
3005- he waits to meet his girlfriend at the Ferris wheel but shes dead so he waits forever

watch all of them in order it makes sense

What a talented group of brothers. I'm not sure who is more talented; Childish Gambino, or his brother Donald Glover. The two of them together would be one hell of a team. Don't they have a cousin who does stand up, or do they just kind of look alike?

Brendan Underwood Obviously he cares if he made some deep ass analysis which he believes to be correct. I'm just helping him out because he is thinking too hard about and explanation for all the videos. Although this one does not have an explanation right now, the others already do.
