LAMB
BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics

This ol' sky, if I die
The singer hopes to leave a lasting impression before he passes away.

I hope I'm no random guy
He hopes that his life has had meaning and that someone will remember him.

Somewhere out there they will say
He hopes that someone will think of him fondly after he is gone.

He is mine, he is mine
He hopes that someone will take ownership of his memory after he dies.

I'm just a boy yeah, I'm just a boy yeah

I try way too hard, I'm just a boy yeah

It doesn't rain in LA
