Childish Gambino Lyrics

Woo, uh, uh
Expressing excitement and anticipation

Yeah, yeah come on
Encouraging and inviting others to join in

What's good? (Come on)
Asking how things are going and inviting conversation

Young Decatur, comin' straight out the hood (That's right)
Referring to his origins in Decatur, emphasizing authenticity

I'm just tryna put the spirit in your Yeezy Boosts (Yeezy Boosts)
Attempting to inspire and uplift the listener

Get your cup, it runneth over once I got the juice
Promising abundance and fulfillment

Every day is Sunday mornin', woo, you hella late (You hella late)
Highlighting the passing of time and urgency

See the colors of my father when I meditate
Experiencing a deep connection to his heritage and ancestors

I'ma give it to you, mama, I can't even lie
Promising honesty and authenticity

Amber-colored lotus flowers when I touch the sky
Describing a peaceful and transcendent state of mind

I ain't even high, uh
Asserting clarity and sobriety

There is love in every moment
Recognizing the presence of love in all experiences

Under the sun, boy
Emphasizing the universality of love and its connection to the world

I did what I wanted to
Asserting personal freedom and autonomy

Ooh, my beard long, damn, I look like Jesus (Ahh)
Using humor and exaggeration to describe his appearance

And my shirt is off, ooh, I feel like Fela (Ohh)
Feeling liberated and empowered, referencing Fela Kuti's influence

On my mama, boy, you silly, tryna please a hater
Rejecting the need for validation from negative individuals

Do you feel me? (Nah, nah) Ya'll don't hear me (Nah, nah)
Expressing frustration at being misunderstood or overlooked

Said I feel good, (Feel good) look good (Look good)
Celebrating self-confidence and positive self-image

East Atlanta, (Gresham Park) Hollywood (Hollywood)
Highlighting his journey and success from Atlanta to Hollywood

Never said it even though I prolly should (Whoa)
Acknowledging the need to express gratitude and appreciation

I said I love me, I said I love me, ah, yeah
Expressing self-love and acceptance

When you looking at the devil
Facing and confronting personal demons or negative influences

But you lookin' in the mirror
Realizing that the true source of negativity is within oneself

What you gon' say? (Wait a minute)
Questioning how one will respond to their own flaws and mistakes

Uh, uh, when your money getting long
Reflecting on the pursuit of wealth and its moral implications

But you know you're doin' wrong
Recognizing the consequences of unethical actions

What you gon' say? (Wait a minute)
Asking how one will justify their choices and behavior

Uh, uh, when you know your mama dyin'
Confronting the imminent loss and grief of a loved one

And you runnin' out of time
Feeling the pressure of limited time and the need to make the most of it

What you gonna say? (Wait a minute)
Questioning how one will face mortality and impending loss

Uh, when you feel alone
Acknowledging loneliness and seeking connection

Know you are not alone (Wait a minute)
Assuring that despite feeling alone, there is support and understanding

Ahh, yeah
Expressing affirmation and agreement

Everything that you're feeling right now (Ooh)
Acknowledging and validating one's current emotions

Let it out, let it out (Ooh, ayy)
Encouraging emotional expression and release

Alright, you ready?
Checking if the listener is prepared for what comes next

Okay, now, one, two, one, two, three
Preparing for a dance or performance

Now do your dance, mama
Encouraging individual expression and celebration

Ayy, ayy, ayy
Exclaiming and emphasizing the energy of the dance

Ayy, ayy, ayy, uh
Continuing to express excitement and enjoyment

Ayy, uh, yeah, uh
Adding to the dynamic and lively atmosphere

What? Feel it
Encouraging the listener to fully experience the music and movement

What? Dance, lil' mama
Inspiring and inviting someone to dance

Ayy, ayy, uh
Maintaining the energetic and rhythmic flow

Get loose
Encouraging freedom and uninhibited movement

Uh, uh, uh, ayy, ayy
Continuing to express excitement and enthusiasm

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Reinforcing the positive and enjoyable atmosphere

Oh
Expressing a moment of realization or surprise

Do what you wanna do
Encouraging individual agency and self-expression

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing agreement and support

No, no, no, no, no, baby
Rejecting any restrictions or limitations on personal freedom

Do what you wanna do
Reiterating the importance of personal autonomy and choice
