All The Shine Lyrics - Childish Gambino

1 [Verse 1]

2 What the fuck do y'all niggas really want?

3 I went with realness instead

4 But all the real niggas I know either crazy or dead

5 Yeah, I dropped the free EP for these other kids to feel a lot

6 And niggas keep asking on whether this dude's for real or not

7 I'm not trying to come hard, I'm trying to come me

8 That's why these older songs that I used to make I'd release free

9 What's the point of rap if you can't be yourself, huh?

10 That's why I come first like my cell phone

11 I'm a role model, I am not these other guys

12 I rap about my dick and talk about what girls is fly

13 I know it's dumb, that's the fucking reason I'm doing it

14 So why does everyone have a problem with talking stupid shit?

15 Or is it real shit?

16 'Cause sometimes that stupid shit is real shit

17 Like when you make out with your best friend's baby sis

18 You know the one with short hair you used to babysit?

19 (See, that's not even right)

20 You with a different girl like each and every fucking night

21 And kiss her while she's sleeping and sneak out the front to catch a flight

22 That's not life, dude

23 It's just making up for fucks I missed in high school

24 I keep it wrapped until I meet the right one

25 'Cause I ain't Mumford, I ain't tryin' to have sons

26 All I wanted was some more like Ashton

27 I ain't the coolest but I know I got passion

28 I got passion!

29 [Hook]

30 I really wanna do right and it doesn't matter

31 We've got all the shine we need to find

32 I really wanna do right and it doesn't matter

33 We've got all the shine we need to find

34 "Baby, I'm okay." She said, "Why you gotta act so strange?"

35 I said, "Baby, I'm okay." She said, "Why you gotta act so strange?"

36 I said, "Baby, I'm okay." She said, "Why you gotta act so strange?"

37 I said, "Baby, I'm okay." She said, "Why you gotta act so strange?"

38 [Verse: 2]

39 Am I serious? I don't even know

40 Are you hearing this? This shit is laughable

41 I ain't trying, I'm doing, these other rappers are foolish

42 I got fame, my A&R's a computer

43 Is there room in the game for a lame who rhymes?

44 Who wears short-shorts and makes jokes sometimes?

45 My nigga like, "I'd get you MTV if I could, man

46 But Pitchfork only likes rappers who crazy or hood, man"

47 So, I guess we gon' see

48 I ain't Curren$y, but if there ain't money in my name please murder me

49 Sometimes I feel like I ain't supposed to be here

50 Sometimes I wake up, I don't want to be here

51 My mom loves to text me Psalm verses

52 She don't look at me like I'm the same person

53 I used to be the sweet one, but things change

54 And I don't want them missing a son like Bone's last name

55 And all my uncles alcoholics, shame on me

56 I drink whiskey till I'm grounded, no TV

57 I wanna go inside the club with no gold piece

58 And walk in with No I.D. and no I.D

59 No matter how far the hood seems

60 We all still got hood dreams

61 I always wanted to get picked on the cool team

62 But alone is exactly how I should be

63 [Hook]

64 I really wanna do right and it doesn't matter

65 We've got all the shine we need to find

66 I really wanna do right and it doesn't matter

67 We've got all the shine we need to find

68 I really wanna do right and it doesn't matter

69 We've got all the shine we need to find

70 I really wanna do right and it doesn't matter

71 We've got all the shine we need to find

72 We need to find

73 We need to find

74 "Baby, I'm okay." She said, "Why you gotta act so strange?"

75 I said, "Baby, I'm okay." She said, "Why you gotta act so strange?"
