Childish Gambino
GAMBINO
Ayo
Third take man, third take
Let's hope I can get some of this shit right
It’s fucking tiring
Jeez

They sayin' "it was Gambino's first" but I don’t even care
Roll down the windows, let the wind blow through my hair
Let the music play around me, my only friend
Let the skies illuminate me, I'll be shining then

Sure this is basic shit but I hope y'all won't ever know
This song was never even intended for the radio (Radio mic!)
And I don't even have a studio with a ton of mics
Just my bedroom, myself and Mr. Quiet, alright?

I'm just a white boy in his latе teens
Scared that I won't even comе to make my own dreams
Scared that my mind won't be louder than all of the screams
Of all those who want me to become what they need me to be
Shit

I just wanna make songs
But my mind tells me that all of this is wrong
That I’m not even supposed to be here
That I should be on a stage
Doing something like acting or singing from another white page, man
And as this guitar pressures me on
The seconds pass by and I’m scared that I won't come off
As a person who’s even that likable or funny
That I'll just look like another little white rapper doing this for money

And I suppose it's a better time than ever
That I mention this song is an intro that you won't remember
To my career as a musician who hardly ever raps
And yet you will all listen to me acting like I’m all that (Shit)

And I'd like to swim now, but my blood is dripping down
My arm sleeve but I don't care
I still jump in, chlorine bleaching my hair
And the gash on my arm continues to burn
But I don't even care, I'll just let it carry on

My blood flowing into the pool
In my dark room
Windows closing around me now

Childish Gambino is a big inspiration to me
Tyler the Creator and Kevin Abstract, I wanna be
Just like them
The whole world watching me
Keep my friends close in a hive like a honey bee
Buzzing around like the sound in my brain
Till the-
Till the day I look at myself and find that I'm becoming plain
But I can't just stop today
I hope it never changes
I love my friends man
This is a shout out track to all those who've stuck beside me
Fuck you Mr. Quiet
I got better ways to cope now
