Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody's perfect you know, I'm working on me
They jealous how they lurking on me, I don't mind
My new girl's not too thirsty to ride, she riding for me
Ride or dying for me
Girl, you're the reason, you're lonely tonight
But this is the season to get back your life
Come take a chance
(It's not that I blame you, I know you know the truth)
When you see (I know you know the truth)
It's not that I blame you, it's not you that I blame you
I blame you
Five foot five of pure sexy, I see
Every bitch wanna be you
Every nigga wanna meet you
You're getting bookings in my city
I see niggas looking in my city
And I know what you been up to
But that is no good, it's no good even though I do it
Baby, I'm outchea, baby, I'm outchea,
You know what I'm pursuing, yeah you can know,
Girl you're the reason, you're lonely tonight
But this is the season to get back your life
This is your chance (I know you know the truth)
Come take a chance
(It's not that I blame you, I know you know the truth)
When you see (I know you know the truth)
It's not that I blame you, it's not you that I blame you

And what do your say to a girl that's heard it all before?
Time is wasting, time is wasting
Time is wasting, babe, time is wasting
Bitch, hurry up. This nigga finna'
To move on! Get in the fucking car with that nigga
Time is wasting, time is wasting, time is wasting
PARTYNEXTDOOR's "Girl From Oakland" talks about a man's life after breaking up with a girl from Oakland. He acknowledges that he is far from perfect, but he still believes that the girl is the one who is sat alone tonight. He acknowledges that she is beautiful and everyone wants to be with her, but he has only one thing on his mind - and that's moving on.
Despite the man's desire to move on, he realizes that the girl may need a chance to heal and move on too. He gives her a chance by telling her that "this is her chance," urging her to stop wasting her time and get back on track with her life. He acknowledges that it's not necessarily her fault that things didn't work out, but he blames her for not taking advantage of the opportunities available to her.
The song also highlights the frustrations he has faced in his life trying to move on from the relationship. He seems to suggest that if the girl doesn't hurry up and "get in the fucking car with that nigga," she might miss her chance to have a real opportunity. In the end, the song does not come to a resolution about whether the pair will reunite, but it does showcase a man's process of trying to move on from a past relationship.
