Childish Gambino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la
I'm in love when we are smoking 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 falling apart
You know that I love you
So let me into you, woo

Let me into your heart
Do you really love me?
I'ma get you, girl, ah

This is the end of us
Sleeping with the moon and the stars
I know where you've been, oh
You can see us far then near

Let me into your heart
Oh, this ain't no bullshit
I really love you, girl
Oh, oh God

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, oh

I'm in love when we are smoking that (woo, ooh)
Oh my God, I
Let me in
Girl, you really got a hold, woo

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Childish Gambino's "Me and Your Mama" focuses on the love and passion that the singer feels when he is smoking marijuana with his significant other. The repetition of "I’m in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la" reinforces the intensity of the emotion he feels. The line "Do what you want, I’m telling you, let me into your heart" refers to his desire to be closer to his lover and to know her more intimately. The lines "Can’t stand it, backhanded/They wanna see us falling apart" suggest that there are external forces trying to come between them or cause problems in the relationship. The emotive repetition of "Let me into your heart" drives home the singer's desire to connect.


The second verse continues with the singer's plea to be let into his lover's heart fully. The line "I know where you've been" implies that she may have gone through some difficulties or struggles, but that he still loves and accepts her. The line "This is the end of us/Sleeping with the moon and the stars" may be a reference to a new beginning or chapter in their relationship, where they are starting fresh. The line "Oh, this ain't no bullshit" emphasizes the sincerity of his feelings, and how genuine his desire to be with her is.


Overall, the song is about the singer's love and devotion for his significant other, even in the face of external challenges. The symbolism of smoking together represents a kind of shared intimacy and connection, perhaps indicating that the two characters share a similar lifestyle or way of looking at the world.

this feels like falling in love with the little things, at first; short interactions and exchanged smiles. maybe it isnt love, maybe its just appreciation. but when the feeling intensifies (hence the beat drop), you cave completely -- desperation, frantic acceptance. and it gets in the way of everything; its your every thought. its like there are voices screaming in your head. it is your subconscious at the same time conscious.

but then its gone. as if youd pushed the feelings down; as if youd forced yourself to ignore it. and it worked miraciously, somehow -- and maybe that was because the whole problem causing it drifted away. and that was fine with you really. all good.

but. but.

the feeling lingers; like a ringing in your ears. it is like something you can never forget; a constant pestering at the back of your brain. an itch.

so it remains there -- simply dormant, waiting to be awakened again.
