little talks

Some days
I can’t even trust myself

Hold my hand
I’ll walk with you, my dear

There’s an old voice in my head
that’s holding me back

Well, tell her that I miss
our little talks

We used to play outside
when we were young
And full of life
and full of love

Some days I don’t know
if I am wrong or right

Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear

‘Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry
our bodies safe to shore

Revelation/Revolution

With all these things
I wait for
revelation

With all these things
I wait for
revolution

These things make me
want to
duck for cover

These things ask
the biggest questions
of me

Are you
what you wanna be?

Ask yourself

Are you
what you wanna be?

You say dreamers always get
what they desire

I know
ambitions’s not a crime

Yet I’ve found
the more I want
the less I’ve got

Ask yourself

Is this the life
you’ve been waiting for?

Or are you
always hoping
that you’ll be where you want
with a little more?

Bigger Picture

Can you see the bigger picture?

The vision

What we got deserves some patience

each other’s team

i’m kinda over
being told
to throw my hands up
in the air

and you know
we’re on each other’s
team

if you’re not afraid of clowns and/or want to hear a talented singer, watch this:

being childish

what’s so bad about

being childish?

when we were children

we had fun

we had faith

and hope

and most important of all

we knew how to love

with all our hearts

when we were

kids

we knew that

there’s a world you can visit

when you go

outside

or for a more visual experience

Listen to my other favorite Childish Gambino songs

Stay True

I want this thing forever
But everyday I
can’t get caught up

Too gifted to get caught up in the business
Handle my business
till I am my own business

Caught in judgments
but I love ya
so I let it go

I love ya
but some of you trouble
We had to part ways
Set you outside the bubble

Can’t get caught up

Life is a beautiful struggle

Make the money
Don’t let the money make you

Change the game
Don’t let the game change you

Stay true
Stay true

I’ve got an attitude
that displays gratitude

Plant your seed in the earth
so it can blossom
in the sunshine

Independent
don’t mean you’re broke
It means you’re
self-sufficient

I’m baskin’ in the sunshine
Enjoy the fruits of my labor
I put in work on the front line

Properly applyin’
Livin’ not dyin’

Sun keeps shinin’
Sun keeps shinin’

Progress becomes
undeniable!

Live your Passion

It’s a brand new day

If you’re passionate about what you do
like I’m passionate about this music

This song is for YOU

It’s like I can’t breathe
When I wake up in the morning
I can’t breathe
till I listen
feed my family
I affect the world

We ALL affect the world!

Music is like medicine
the sweetest sounds I ever heard
my joy, my heart, my music

Keep hold of those big dreams
Music saves you
Gives you knowledge of self
Use the inspiration it provides

Music is emotion
We listen to the same songs
but we hear them different

What do you hear
when you listen
to the music in your soul?

What makes you heart beat faster
like the drums?

What releases your stress and
connects you to your childhood dreams?

Live your passion!
