Starlight Lyrics - Childish Gambino

1 [Hook: Amber Petty]

2 Starlight

3 Where did you go?

4 I've been running around the world

5 Gotta let you know

6 [Verse 1: DC Pierson]

7 I got the empire state now I'm working on the next part

8 Trying to build an empire, I'm wishing on the Death Star

9 I murdered the dish, I eloped with the spoon

10 Tri-coastal and the third coast is the moon

11 When it hits your eye like a get in your eye thing

12 And we do the I like you like like you like like thing

13 I can't promise I won't be dressed like a viking

14 When I do the whole picking you up on my bike thing

15 Another white rapper's CD in my spokes

16 I would swear ya'll converted to rap for the jokes

17 I spit black smoke, I'm the hip hop pope

18 They make anti-me PSA's cuz I'm dope

19 And when it's not clear you can cope, the worlds a negative iPod

20 You just hear 'nope'

21 Nights on the pavement, you just stop breathin'

22 On some Liz Lemon movin' back to Cleveland

23 Street lights people, up and down the boulevard

24 Don't stop believin in your journey, and I know it's hard

25 They call me Violet Beauregard, cuz I just blow up, no regard

26 All I really need is a bar to belly up to

27 A balcony, a star crossed lover to yell up to

28 So what are you up to? This weekend I'm free

29 Till then I'll just shine and let you find meExplain

30 [Verse 2: Childish Gambino]

31 I shine like the sun

32 My mouth is a gun, pop off and they run, two things like a pun

33 This is not just for fun and I cut with my tongue

34 My mouth's a Swiss army, take over your country

35 I run like a humvee, I don't need gas-o-line

36 I run on these rappers so skip the stromboli

37 I make these niggas say 'Great' like Tony

38 So how the fuck you gonna say these bitches don't know me?

39 How the fuck you gonna say these bitches don't know me

40 When you all on the tip of my dick like Moby

41 The wait is over, no baking soda

42 I saw them dudes move bricks and boulders

43 I saw them dudes move flats and corners

44 And they moved that sugar like Russell Stover

45 I got that green like a four leaf clover

46 Get rich or die tryin' like my name two quarters

47 Dope boys they get me, we got the same hustle till the tank on empty

48 And if you dope boy, better watch the Wire

49 And get the shit straight, turn back, retire

50 Cuz one in a mil turn snow to fire

51 You either move weight, play ball or neither

52 Because I'm neither, the hood Macgyver

53 The boy blew up like he knew Al Quaeda

54 My life so sweet that my balls Godiva

55 The world in front and the hood behind us

56 The hood behind us

57 Yea

58 The hood behind us
