Atavista (2024)












Atavista lyrics - Childish Gambino

You think I'm crazy, but I'm higher all the time
This life is something that is more than a lie
And every day I wake, my life is on the line
You know I've got to keep on moving, yeah

There are beasts untamed
Who will eat the young
And you'll become the same
If you stay too long

If the drug is faint
Then the high is low
Atavista, atavista
Atavista

You think I'm crazy, but I'm higher all the time
This life is something that is more than a lie
And every day I wake, my life is on the line
You know I've got to keep on moving, yeah

The game we play ain't fair, but play it, do we dare?
But people do they care? 'Bout what's happening?
Now you can have your cake if it's all you need
And what can you do? There are mouths to feed

And it's not insane
If we all believe
Atavista, atavista
Atavista

Algorhythm lyrics - Childish Gambino

Supercomputer status, walkin' along streets
Everyone is an addict, stumbling concrete
What was the motivation? Constant communication
Everybody wanna get chose like Moses
Came out Mother Earth smelling like roses
Summon the new edition, made it way too efficient
Made us the guinea pig and did it with no permission
Told her to call a friend, didn't tell her to listen
So very scary, so binary, zero or one
Like code is like coal mine canary
I dream in color, not black and white
You sell your daughter on that data stream
Go finally make a hit now
Humans don't understand, humans will sell a lie
Humans gotta survive, we know we gon' die
Nothing can live forever, you know we gon' try
Life, is it really worth it? The algorythm is perfect, mmh

Everybody (Everybody), move your body, now do it (Now do it)
Here is something (Ooh), that's gonna make you move and groove
(Please don't lose that tempo)
Algorhythm
(Moving how they say so)
Algorhythm

Step, step, slide, slide
Move your body from side to side
Clap your hands, don't spite the vibe
Keep on moving, you might survive
Pressure is to evolve, take a bite of the apple
We crush it into the sauce, how do we know the cost?
How do we know the truth without feeling what could be false?
Freedom of being wrong, freedom of being lost
Wait a minute, wait a minute (Wait a minute, wait a minute)
Feelin' like the devil did it (Devil did it, ooh)
Lord willing, I'ma step to it (Step to it)
You gon' fall behind if you can't do it (Ooh, yeah)
Ooh, we eating good over here now (Yeah)
Is you eating good over there now? (No)
Dreaming ain't the move, do I care now? (No)
Looking for something worth it, the algorhythm is perfect, mmh

Everybody (Everybody), move your body, now do it (Now do it)
Here is something (Ooh), that's gonna make you move and groove
(Please don't lose that tempo)
Algorhythm
(Moving how they say so)
Algorhythm (Woo)
Everybody (Everybody), move your body, now do it (Now do it)
Here is something (Ooh), that's gonna make you move and groove
Algorhythm (Woo)
Algorhythm (Yeah, yeah)

Time lyrics - Childish Gambino (feat. Ariana Grande)

Seven billion people
Tryna free themselves
Said a billion prayers
Tryna save myself
I can see it coming
But it's moving fast

Big ol' hurricane
Put the sunroof down
Dancing with no pain
We wait to see the sunrise
It's a holiday (Hey)
When you're around (When you're around)
Breath of fresh air like a cold winter breeze
And I can feel it slow down, oh

Maybe all the stars in the night are really dreams
Maybe this whole world ain't exactly what it seems
Maybe the sky will fall down on tomorrow
But one thing's for certain, baby
We're running out of time

Oh, time, time, oh

Running after something
But I don't know what
Am I running to?
Too afraid to stop
Hundred miles an hour
With no seatbelt on
Time is everlasting
I can't wait that long (Ooh)

Maybe all the stars in the night are really dreams (All the stars)
Maybe this whole world ain't exactly what it seems (This whole world)
Maybe the sky will fall down on tomorrow (Ooh)
But one thing's for certain, baby
We're running out of time

I feel it falling to the bottom of the ocean
Running out of time, out of time, uh, oh yeah
Higher than motion, I can feel it moving forward
Running out of time, running out
Running out, running out of time

Maybe all the stars in the night are really dreams (All the stars)
Maybe this whole world ain't exactly what it seems (This whole world)
Maybe the sky will fall down on tomorrow (Ooh)
But one thing's for certain, baby
We're running out of time

(Time)
(Time)
Uh
It's about power (Time)
All about power (Time)
Oh, I mean time
I'm just tryna feel it (Time)
Get a little bit stronger
Gotta go all out (Time)
And make it a lil' harder
Gotta look far out
That'll be better
Gonna get better (Time)
Too many pressure
Do you need pressure?
People need pressure
Uh, woo

Running out of time
We're running
Running out of time (Woah)
We're running
Running out of time
We're running

Psilocybae (Millenial Love) lyrics - Childish Gambino (feat. 21 Savage, Ink & Kadhja Bonet)

[Childish Gambino:]
Uh (Uh)

Someone made a mess in my account (Someone sound like me, yes)
Someone bought a Patek in a panic (Yes, yes)
Bode, Bentley addict, I go manic (Oh no)
Hit the oochie-coochie 'til it's slanted, ooh
I'm gon' beat it up, ooh, lady
I'm gon' make your dreams come, baby
Ayy, you the one who talkin' all that trash (You the one who talkin' all that trash)
Forty-five, I'll twenty-eight that ass (Ooh)
You can set the snow on fire (Yeah, ooh)
You smell like a peach papaya
She said, "Eat this psilocybin, I'ma be right back"
I'm like, "Aight" ("Aight")
"Ayy, I don't know what psilocybin is" (No)
"This better not be no molly"
She just laughed and closed the door
Dark chocolate, sea salt
I took a bite (Uh, uh)
She said, "We gon' have a special night" (Ooh, ayy)
I said, "Who you telling, girl? I know that"
Tracee Ellis with it when you throw back (Ooh, yeah)
Girl, I see your (Shadow move)
Ooh, you're so divine (Yes, you are)
And them panties came off (Ooh, yes they did)
I'ma give you some privacy (Uh)
Pictures with your stepsisters (Hmm)
N. K. Jemisin with you, uh
Got the All About Love, on some bell hooks
Then I turned to a dirty look, uh (Meow)
Ayy, why your cat lookin' at me sideways?
"Sing to her"
I said, "Nah, I'll put on the radio though"

I might let you go

Lay back on my back (Uh), vibrate
My ex on some BS
She walked out the closet
Girl, never write a check I can't deposit
She said, "Boy, stop, let's go walkin'" (Let's go walkin')
"You wanna be outside for this" (Hold on)
We just talkin'
Dogpark looking like a Trader Joe's (Roof, roof)
Papillon, mmh, thought you hated those
Other girls, uh, let they shady show
Every time we walk around
They say, "How she gonna hold him down?" No (Mmm)
They don't know what they missing
Most these niggas wanna run around with these SZAs (Yeah)
I prefer to just stroll the park with this Chaka
Baby girl was just diggin' all in my pockets
I was going hard (By the magic hour)
We were holdin' hands, tried to make me understand (Ooh, uh, yeah)
Make girls fall in love, that's my (Magic power), yes
Everybody's jealous I won't ease it with these colors (Uh, uh)
(Ooh, I wanna see it in the moonlight)
Yellow, red, orange robe, askin' for donation (Ooh)
I'm not a tourist, nigga, this is not vacation (I am not a tourist, nigga, this is not vacation)
Vibrate
Goddamn, man, this girl goin' crazy on my Motorola
(She said) "Let me answer it" (Let me answer)
Then she'll know it's over (Ooh)
Girl, you cancerous, you gon' ruin my life (Ah-ah)
Let me get this paperweight, then come be my wife
She just laughed and touched my face (What you mean?)
You don't understand what this is (Oh wait, wait, wait, wait)
I ain't lookin' for another lifetime
Let's just stay here and enjoy the great design
Had the iceberg tucked in my waist (Bling)
Fuck an omelet (Ooh), you can eat off my face (No)
I just thought that we were vibin' (Ayy)
You don't love her, then you lyin' (Uh)
Come and go and you get tulips
Put a finger to my two lips (It's okay)
Ooh, you got it bad, just remember what we had
You can set the snow on fire
The reason that you suffer is desire (Huh)
The reason that I'm moving with this ooh-wee
I was lovin' life, I got too deep (I was too deep)
Woke up in my room, she was long gone
Toni singing me another sad song (Ooh)
Eternity
Oh, until we meet again

[Kadhja Bonet:]
This ain't special, tell me what you want
This ain't special, baby, this is fun
This ain't special, tell me what you want
This ain't special, baby, this is fun

[21 Savage:]
Drop it off (21), let me see if your booty soft
Gold mouth (Hold up, hold up), yes, I'm from the Dirty South
Lights out (Straight up), summertime, I brought the ice out (21)
Pipes out (On God), all my shooters came from Moscow
Got a girl in Harvard, I talk proper when I call her (21)
Baby, I'm a baller, ain't no way that I can raw ya (Straight up)
She don't want no new friends, she just tryna buy her a new Benz (On God)
I've been counting M's, me and Ben Franklin damn near kin (On God)
Put my mind to it and I did it, them facts (21)
Talkin' 'bout your brother to get some pussy, that's wack (Straight up)
The police keep harassin' 'cause I'm rich and I'm black (Straight up)
They mad 'cause I made myself a boss without crack (On God)
I ain't trippin', boy, I'm Lamborghini whippin' (21, 21)
Straight up out the trenches, money made me ign'ant (It did)
I'm on a private jet eatin' Popeyes chicken (21)
I be flexin' like I'm eatin' Popeye's spinach (21, 21, 21)

[Ink:]
Morning dew
Percolating, still have a little time for Sunday, ooh (So baby, let's take it back to the crib)
(Back to the, back, back to the)
Baby, I might let you go
Babe, baby, no matter what
And like I switch the other side of me
Baby got a whole lotta ride on me
Babe, baby, let's take it back to crib
Back, back to the crib
Back, back to the, babe
I might let you go
Baby, baby, no matter what
And I can, I can, I can, I can
To the crib
Back to the crib, back to the
And no one seen them
Baby, I, baby, baby, I

To Be Hunted lyrics - Childish Gambino

Ooh
Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh
Let me tell you something true

I remember, uh, back when I was six years old, uh
Daddy said, "The world's so cold"
"There is something that you should know"
Uh
"You're so gorgeous," thank you, daddy
"Nothing's really worth your time"
"But someday soon you just might find"
"The truth about the world's design," oh

To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
And I know that, yeah

Now remember, uh
You do what the hell you want, uh
But someone's gonna smell your funk
You're exactly what they want (Truth)
To be happy really means that someone else ain't
And balance ain't a one-food plate
Everything is give and take, oh, oh

To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
Oh, oh, yeah, oh yeah
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
And I know

Go'n, do it like this, okay (Woo)
Shoulder shake, woah (Oh no)
Do it in and out (Nah-nah-nah-nah)
Ayy, ayy, uh (Ooh)

To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can't change the truth, I can't get you used to this
Can't get you used to this
No, no, no, no
To be beautiful is to be hunted (I can't, I know)
I can't change the truth (I said), I can't get you used to this
Ooh, give it to me now, bring the strings back, uh

To be beautiful is to be hunted
We are beautiful, yeah
That's so beautiful
That's so beautiful

Sweet Thang lyrics - Childish Gambino

Sweet thing
You moved to Southern California, sweet thing
You do just what your daddy told you, sweet thing
You're watching Parks and Rec alone, sweet thing
You sweet thing
Sweet thing
You'll end up being someone better, sweet thing
But I can only be myself, sweet thing
You'll still believe in fairytales, sweet thing
You sweet thing

You take me to the fair
But I don't really care
You wouldn't change a hair
Sometimes I wonder why you love me
But you love me
I always make you cry
No matter how I try
Sometimes I wonder why
Why would you ever want to love me?
Must you love me? Oh

Sweet thing
You made me chicken, rice, and beans, sweet thing
You're just as sweet as you can be, sweet thing (Oh, yeah)
If you wanna be happy, don't look at my phone, sweet thing
My sweet thing (Sweet thing)
Sweet thing
Your friend is always acting stank, sweet thing
You wanna hold me, but you can't, sweet thing
You always eating off my food, sweet thing
My sweet thing

Ain't got no pictures on my feed
Gucci jacket smell like weed, ooh
Rubbing my head while we're both sleeping
Feel like I'm cheating on myself
But it feels so good
I wanna tell you something
Something I've never said before
I just wanna say

Thank you (Oh, yeah)
'Cause I love you, mmh, mmh (Love)
I wanna say thank you
Yeah, I can't, yeah
'Cause I love you, ooh, yeah (Love, love, love, love, love)
Yeah, yeah (You)
I said thank you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause I really love you, yeah (Thank you), ah (I really love you baby)
I said thank you
Thank you for showing me what love can be (If I only, if I love)
Thank you
Your love is a mountain
I admire
I admire, I admire
Oh, I said thank you
And I love you, yes, I do
And I love you, yes, I do
I said thank you (Woo)
Thank you for children
Thank you for your love
I said thank you
I admire, I admire
I just wanna say it, I had mine sad (Thank you)
I cannot find, I cannot find, losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
Oh, oh no no
Oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh, ahh
Oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh, ahh
Oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh, ahh
Oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ahh, ahh

Little Foot Big Foot lyrics - Childish Gambino & Young Nudy

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo
Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo (Woo)

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
Bustin' out bales, I've been bustin' all day
Bustin' out bales, we were sellin' that hay
We been movin' that snow, I was ridin' that sleigh
Double cup C's, had to put them in the safe
Got the semi on deck, .45, AK
Servin' up fiend, I remember that J
Brought his daughter to the house, I was cryin' all day
L's rolled up and I'm packin' that heat
12 roll up and I'm slappin' them feet
He was only sixteen, he was lookin' at three
Now he lookin' at nine, pray to God he don't speak
Water drip rich, so we gave 'em that leak
Bales got my baby mama nails on fleek
I was seven years old, daddy thrown in the clink
Said, "Life ain't fair, everybody gon' cheat"

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo
Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo (Woo)

Chicken coupe, chicken soup, I got the wave
Move so smooth like butter, like shea
Crime don't pay, I ain't heard what they say
Quarter brick, half a brick, whole brick, ayy (Ayy)
Cotton ball white like hen house floors
Could've been broke, this the life I chose
They was in school, I was stirrin' that pot
Daddy couldn't come home, I was takin' that spot
Life move fast, like a movie, so quick
Dark-skinned beauty got a booty so thick
She a down-home chick, she'll hit that lick
Had to drop my old girl 'cause she think that she slick
I ain't seen him in a minute, so I think he might flip
Had to hit him with the stick, man you niggas ain't, woo
If I couldn't move bricks, I don't know what I'd do
I ain't worried 'bout mine, you can worry 'bout you

Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo
Little Foot, Big Foot, get out the way
I'ma show y'all how to move this yay
I'ma show y'all how to move like this
I'ma show y'all that a move ain't, woo (One, two, one, two, three, go)

(Slime)
Put my foot in that work
Everything you stepped on (Step on)
You sayin' this all to me, boy you got stepped on (Oh yeah)
I roll up a light, you know I get my rep on (Get my rep on)
And I just pour a pussy all up in this styrofoam (Yeah)
Diamonds on me, six, EA, my zone (EA)
Got up by myself, ain't nobody put me on (Ain't nobody put me on)
Turn the pops on to a real scraps on (Real scraps on)
I just unloaded in ya bitch
Deepthroat, she just tryna suck a nigga dick
Freak hoe, I could never fall for your bitch (Nah)
Ego's too slow, mind too big (Mind too big)
Check out my life, I need big (Yeah)
Check out my ice, yes, they dig (They dig)
Walked in, Mike Tyson, knockin' down shit (Knockin' down shit)

Real raw rook', came up on rich (Real raw rook', came up on rich)

Why Go To The Party lyrics - Childish Gambino

Why go to the party? Why go to the party?
Why go to the party at all?
Two shots and a body, two shots and a body
Two shots and a body involved
Where are those subtle men?
With the decency to might be wrong
Where are those winter girls?
Who corrected, say women
I'm sorry, forgiven

The Violence lyrics - Childish Gambino

Little girl, thirteen, broke down
The violence
Little boys playing 'round, shot down
The violence, the violence
Baby girl, baby daddy, he's had it
The violence, the violence
The violence, the violence
Cut him up, in the gang, did the same
The violence, the violence, oh

Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
The violence, the violence
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
The violence, the violence

Beat him up, keep him down
Light him up, the violence
Never say what you see, keep quiet
The silence, the silence

Little boy, little girl
Are you scared of the world?
Is it hard to live?
Just take care of your soul
Let the beauty unfold
You'll get through it

Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
The violence, the violence
The violence, the violence
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
The violence, the violence
The violence, the violence

What do you love?
I love... who do I love?
Yeah, who do you love? Me?
Yeah
Anybody else?
Mom and Oiallo. And Genesis
And I love... and I love Roland
And I love myself
That's... those are good answers
Those are really good answers
Do you love yourself?
I do love myself
Does mommy love herself?
Absolutely
Mom...
Do you love yourself?
Yeah, I do
You best or... (Do both)
