Childish Gambino - Sunrise Lyrics






[Verse 1]
Yeah nigga, it's me again
I'm still around, I guess I win
You hear me in your sister's room like all the time
Gambino Girl forever on that bracelet that she bought online
To dudes who couldn't take it, might I say, "hasta luega"
Cause I'm taking all your city like I'm Carmen San Diego
I'm smoking, I'm on fire
I am blazin', don't get hurt
To my white dudes it's a concert
To my black nerds this is church
From that NYU dorm to the Emory
Everyone hated me, I'm more hip hop than you'll ever be
Im bustin', bustin' bustin', bustin' on these niggas man
And nothin, nothing nothin, nothin is the same again
You lookin dumb as hell man for ever sleeepin' on him
Your girl is not around, she busy sleepin on him
Will he fail?
Now that's the wrong conversation
Terry Gross on the mic, I'm the talk of the nation, uh

[Hook x2]
Hey, what it do bitch?
Why these other rappers do shit stupid?
While they be sleepin' I be onto that new shit
While they be sleepin' I be onto that new shit

[Verse 2]
New shit
You didn't know?
Black rock like a fuckin' LOST episode
Somethin' for these black kids to call they own
So when you skatin' in your driveway, you not alone
She stay down like that new coat that I bought her
And the fly rihanna girls be drinkin' my coconut water
And I'm lookin' at her butt
Thats that 20/20 hindsight
My shit be Jackson, Jordan, Bolton, Keaton, Tyson: 5 Mikes
Donald Glover, no relation
Always workin', no vacation
They couldn't feel me, novacation
Murder versus the only motive was motivation
Money equals freedom
I've wanted this since a three-year-old
I've seen it all, like I'm John Mayer's penis hole
Bein' me, that's something that's so unusual
I've seen the future, and the future go

[Hook x2]

[Outro]
Can't you hear me baby?
Can't you hear me callin' out your name?
Can't you hear me baby?
Oh, can't you hear me callin' out your name?

    i honestly wish he would still be under the radar, i miss these songs, i feel like his last mixtape was the final goodbye, when he released it next to Kauai Gambino :v

    J.... E....

    Ain't it tho. I loved finding this gem three or whatever albums into Gambino! Like a gift that keeps on giving.

    J.... E....

    It’s not underrated it’s Under-appreciated by people who don’t know good music

  35. T.... ....

    Reminds me of that one black dude from "The To Do List"

    K.... D....

    Naw man, he reminds me of Earn from "Atlanta".

    K.... D....

    @Mr Sweaty Nipples I'd say more of an LMNOP from Sesame Street: Learning Rocks

    K.... D....

    He looks more like Troy from Troy and Abed in the Morning

  37. J.... R....

    Troy and Abed's brand new miiiiiixtape

  38. p.... ....

    C.... M....

    L.... ....

    @Logan white fans. they just got the lyric wrong

  44. -.... L....

    Great song

  45. A.... O....

    Someone please help me understand what this guy is saying

    A.... O....

    Which is why there's a lyric video if you just look hard enough.

    A.... O....

    Why the fuck you on a lyric video

  46. T.... ....

    Was thinking : I need new Gambino's songs in my playlist... 
    Was not disappointed , as always !!

  47. b.... ....

    new shit. you didn't know? Black rock like a fucking LOST episode.

  48. A.... ....

    oh shit i always thought he said john hamm's penis hole????!!!!!! oh shit!

  49. s.... ....

    Such a good beat, but Gambino's punchline rapping is seriously impossible to listen to at times.

    s.... ....

    You mean the hook? I like this one

    s.... ....

    @James Ryan it means every line is some crappy joke, it's basically just really lazy lyricism. Big Sean does it a lot too, and a lot of Lil Wayne's more recent stuff

    s.... ....

    @theundeads1 His new stuff is kinda bad compared to the old stuff atleast for me.

    s.... ....

    +sephiroththeman His punchlines hide a lot of clever truths, though, especially on Because the Internet.

    s.... ....

    Guess I dig his punchline rapping ...to me it makes the song clever. Double entendres. Things you have to try and figure out, but I’ve always liked rappers like Jay Z who put a lot into their clever wordplay.

  50. J.... D....

    @WinterAzaleaXO what program did u use to make this?

  51. J.... D....

    Dis the song you play when you hustle bitches lol

  52. J.... D....

    Love the beat to this song 👍👏

  53. J.... D....

    While they be sleeping I'll be on to that new shit lol

    J.... D....

    +Jake Davis XDDDDDD

  54. L.... ....

    fake and SUPER gay

    L.... ....

    Wtf ok nice opinion

    L.... ....

    Your picture is.

    L.... ....

    LeroyRifkin no u

  55. L.... M....

    PERFECT. *-*

  56. D.... P....

    2:01 best line Gambino has produced thus far, and just barely beats his 1st verse from Freaks and Geeks.

    D.... P....

    Bonfire for me has his best lines

    D.... P....

    Maybe even "I be on that"

    D.... P....

    What about "Text said "I'm wet" I said "Hold up, wait a minute" H20, plus my D, that's my hood, im livin in it"

    D.... P....

    "made the beat then murdered it, casey anthony" is his best bar thus far in my book

    D.... P....

    2nd verse on "Let me dope you" is still the best for me

  57. a.... s....

    this was earlyer childish was a bad lyricst then a super good one now hes starting to close up agian

  58. -.... -....

    cheap lyrics nothing new for CG

  59. p.... w....

    best song I ever heard yet

  60. N.... H....

    Why am I just now hearing this?

    N.... H....

    Cause while you sleepin, he be onto that new shit.

    N.... H....

    @D. Shah that was soo smooth

    N.... H....

    +D. Shah You just earned yourself a subscriber.

    N.... H....

    Nick Hamilton yeah it’s cool cos I’m still listening after like 6/7 years

    N.... H....

    @Pine Apple same!

  61. C.... O....

  62. D.... R....

    lol so during the whole video there was me staring down childish gambinos picture. he won....

    D.... R....

  63. B.... M....

    Gambino kinda look like that one black guy Hollister has to hire so they dont seem racist

  64. e.... ....

    great! who's got more of this upbeat kinda tracks? :)

  65. T.... S....

    greatest smoking song of all time 

  66. L.... ....

    Oh. John Mayer's penis hole. That makes sense. I thought it was "John Madden's penis hole".

    L.... ....

    i thought it was Jon Hamm???

    L.... ....

    i thought it was lebron james

    L.... ....

    @Jake Gibson lol LeBron James penis hole

    L.... ....

    +Jake Gibson lmao

    L.... ....

    Legalwave I thought it was a giant man's penis hole

  67. n.... ....

    CAMP was the most underrated album of 2011. This dude is the Shit!

    n.... ....

    Top five albums of this decade so far, for me.

  68. J.... ....

    Spectacular lyrical music video, Ms. @WinterAzaleaXO. 20 thumbs WAY up.

  69. J.... ....

    The most evil looking negro Russian mastermind you ever loved to hate - Childish Gambino. Man, he's got insanely great wordplay. Those who haven't yet, should watch his freestyle on Sway in the Morning. Must-see online tv.

  70. i.... h....

    It´s called a chapka and it come from russia ;)

    i.... h....

    @illies heyo "Chapka" is just Russian for hat. That's an ushanka.

  71. D.... ....

    This always makes me hyphy.

  72. N.... L....

    New Favourite, you are making it harder for me to choose a favourite. Love this song, you are awesome!

  73. A.... M....

    the ending of the song is fuckin powerful

  74. N.... M....

    Somethin for these black kids to call they own,

  75. K.... L....

    like a fucking Lost episode :)

  76. d.... y....

    Tell me why Gambino always have some beast ass hooks.

  77. D.... B....

    wouldnt this be rap too

  78. T.... G....

    (like a fucking Lost episode)

  79. m.... ....

    its from lost

  80. S.... D....

    It's alternative hip hop. This particular song sounds a lot like old Kanye West, particularly Late Registration.

    S.... D....

    Sue Donem I thought the same thing. Nailed it

    S.... D....

    I miss good Kanye

  81. f.... ....

    Black Rock was a ship in Lost

  82. B.... R....

    this song is my shit

  83. Z.... T....

    Hard not to

  84. Q.... V....

    His lyrics are just great.

  85. L.... ....

    Like a fucking LOST episode?

  86. K.... B....

    Alternative hip hop, but Gambino often refers to his music as black rock

  87. g.... t....

  88. A.... ....

    Dont like how he focuses on how others dont like him but I can relate or atleast I think I can because I'm nerdy otherwise i wouldnt rly listen to his songs I like the beat of his songs mainly his rapping skills are impressive :}

  89. P.... .....
