Childish Gambino - Awaken, My Love! Lyrics
Me And Your Mama
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smokin' that la-la-la-la-la
Do what you want!
I'm telling you, let me into your heart
Can't stand it, backhanded
They wanna see us fallin' apart
You know that I love you
So let me into your heart
Let me into your heart
Do you really love me?
I'm gon' get you, girl, ahhhh
This is the end of us
Sleeping with the moon and the stars
I know where you've been, you can see the sun
Let me into your heart!
I really love you, girl
Girl you really got a hold on me
So this isn't just puppy love
Girl you really got a hold on me
So this isn't just puppy love
I'm in love when we are smokin' that
Oh my God, I
Let me into
Girl you really got a hold, woo!

Have Some Love
Have a word for your brother
Have some time for one another
Really love one another
It's so hard to find
Have a word for your brother
Have some time for one another
Really love one another
It's so hard to find
You got the power, you got the power
Of every hour, of every hour
I come to getcha and I know where you are
I come to getcha and I know where you are
It's getting hot, it's like a sauna
Then every night, in Arizona
They come to getcha when they grope in your mind
They think you creepy, getting down in your mind
Come to getcha, come to getcha
It doesn't matter, you making magic
I got the business to make a mind
I got the business to make a mind
And if you feel it, if you feel in your toes
And you [?] nothing like nobody knows
But if you want it, you better want it
Have a word for your brother
Have some time for one another
Really love one another
It's so hard to find
Have a word for your brother
Have some time for one another
Really love one another
It's so hard to find
Have a word
Come on baby, oh
Darling no, no, no, no, no, no, no
That's right baby
That's right
I see wherever, wherever, wherever you are
(Wherever, wherever, wherever you are)
I see wherever, wherever, wherever you are
(Wherever, wherever, wherever you are)
Wherever, wherever, wherever you are
(Wherever, wherever, wherever you are)
Do no wrong now
That's right baby
There's a big wide world out there
I need to get in
We have got to bring this thing together
And I hoping I pray
We will find it someday
We have to got to really stay together
So
Have a word for your brother
Have some time for one another
Really love one another
It's so hard to find
Have a word for your brother
Have some time for one another
Really love one another
It's so hard to find

Boogieman
With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
If you point a gun at my rising sun
Though we're not the one
But in the bounds of your mind
We have done the cry
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can
With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
Every boy and girl all around the world
Knows my niggas' words
But if he's scared of me, how can we be free? Yes
Boogieman, yes
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can, oh
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can, oh

Zombies
[Childish Gambino:]
All I see is zombies
Walking all around us
You can hear them coming (they come to take your life)
You can hear them breathing, breathing down your spine
All I see is zombies
Hear them screaming at her
They can smell your money
And they want your soul
Here they come behind you
Try to stay alive
[Kari Faux:]
We're coming out to get you
We're oh, so glad we met you
We're eating you for profit
There is no way to stop it
[Childish Gambino:]
You will find there is no safe place to hide
(That's right, that's right)
All I see is zombies
Feeding all around us
All they eat are people (and you won't survive)
They don't know what happened
They just stay alive
[Kari Faux:]
We're coming out to get you
We're oh, so glad we met you
We're eating you for profit
There is no way to stop it
[Childish Gambino:]
You will find there is no safe place to hide
(That's right, that's right)
[Kari Faux:]
We're coming out to get you
We're oh so glad we met you
We're eating you for profit
There is no way to stop it
[Childish Gambino:]
Do you feel alive, yeah?
Do you feel alive, yeah?
Do-do-do-do-do
Do you feel alive?

Riot
I can feel it
Deep inside my body
I've been watching all this all night
I got to move it
This pressure brewing
This world don't feel alright
Everyone, everyone!
Get down, baby, get down, baby
Fly, fly, fly, high
Everyone, everyone!
Get down, baby, get down, baby
Fly, fly, fly, son
No good fighting
World, we're out of captains
Everyone just wants a better life
They tried to kill us
Love to say they feel us
But they won't take my pride
Everyone, everyone!
Get down, baby, get down, baby
Fly, fly, fly, high
Everyone, everyone!
Get down, baby, get down, baby
Fly, fly, fly, son
Everyone
Get down, baby
Fly, fly, fly, high
Everyone
Get down, baby
Fly, fly, fly, son

California
She want to move to California
She must've f*cking lost her mind
She want to move to California
It's hard to get through every time
She make a movie with her friends, put it up in a minute
And everybody say it now ain't [?]
Everybody say how, how you do it, you did it
I'ma show you what it done but, enough for a finish
Girl you think and you listen
You keep losing your mind
How you want to loop this shit but looking like a vine
But they don't pay for no privilege, now she broke in Koreatown
In the condo you rented, but they get your percentage
In California, ooh
She must've f*cking lost her mind, yeah
He want to move to California
He want to hang with DC Fly
All the people in the room and the follower people
Like I'm watching the "ha ha" make his girlfriend giggle
Let's make official official, make a [?]
Don't pay no residual, making money a little
Make the smoker illegal, make the living illegal
Make the laughing illegal, make it snap for a people
When you make a movie now, no you making no difference
It's a tickle on the mind before me finish the sentence
[?] like a vine but don't pay for the privilege
Now you broke in Koreatown, in the condo you rented
But they get your percentage
Oh you broke in Koreatown in that condo you rented
But they get your percentage
In California
She must've f*cking lost her mind, yeah
He want to move to California
He want to hang with DC Fly

Baby Boy
Little hands, little feet
Tiny heart, tiny beat
Oh, thinkin' about the time we spent falling in love (in love)
I don't wanna leave you
I don't want him to see you
But oh, when mama cries and daddy's lies
Oh my, please don't take him away, no, no, no
Don't take him away
Oh, cause I had my doubts, oh!
Don't take my baby boy
Don't take my pride and joy
I hope I stay close
I hope I stay close
All the pain, all the tears
Many nights, many years
This love for me is fading
You waited, but I never came home to you
I've never lied about us
We were never supposed to be together
When you see me with some other one and they know your son
Oh, please don't take him away
You said you're wrong but you knew
Oh, cause I had my doubts, oh!
Don't take my baby boy
Don't take my pride and joy
I hope I stay close
I hope I stay close
There was a time before you, and there will be a time after you
With these vibes or not
Walk tall little one
Walk tall, walk tall
Let me hold you
Let me hold you

Stand Tall
When the sun is rising over streets so barren
Since the evening, colors flash before my eyes
I feel like a child, so young and new in '92, I listen
To what my father said
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong you cannot fall
There is a voice inside us all
So smile when you can
When you can
How this used to feel so far and free
Now these broken souls are all I see
Fists have fallen to our side
We may cry alone, I feel we know where all of this is headed
But my mama said
Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall (oh I, nah, nah, nah)
If you are strong you cannot fall (if you are strong)
There is a voice inside us all
So smile when you can
When you can
If you cannot, oh!
There is more to you and me
There is more than they can see
I'm on your side
Woo, oh!
There is more out there
And somebody cares 'bout you
I do
Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall
If you are strong you cannot fall
Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
If you are strong you cannot fall
Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
If you are strong you cannot fall
Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
If you are strong you cannot fall
There is more out there
Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
If you are strong you cannot fall
Give me morning
When you're gone to yourself
Woo!
Yeah!
(Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall)
If you are strong you cannot fall)
(Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall)
(If you are strong you cannot fall)
Thanks for doing that
(Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall)
(If you are strong you cannot fall)
