The Last Lyrics - Childish Gambino

1 I'm the last of a dying breed,

2 Meaning that I'm not afraid to try new things,

3 Can't see me best to get yourself some Visine,

4 Toe tag a motherfucker no jokes, while these other niggas wakka wakka

5 Other rappers try and go and get over

6 You want that hood shit best to go and call Hova

7 I was a good kid, backpack on my shoulder

8 98 test score in my Thundercat folder

9 My cousin was older

10 My momma used to wake up,

11 Drive me to a school cause the school was much safer

12 But I slipped up and accidentally told a teacher

13 Now I'm going to a school where I get beat up because

14 I ain't get down with them other kids

15 Probably cause I talk too white and I got a dad who's there(?)

16 Momma couldn't take it, sold the place and got us out of there

17 Guest room, now the six of us splitting one with a restroom

18 Now I'm going to this school called Rock Ridge

19 School of the neighborhood we tryna buy a house in

20 There's not a lot of black kids,

21 So I stick out like a sore thumb with some bad acne, but really

22 What I wanna know is why I never fit in right

23 Like a fat dude getting on a packed flight

24 Even when I make friends in the hallways

25 I'm wishing I was someone else always

26 But I'm happy that that shit happened to me

27 Cause it taught me most important is to do me

28 Cause everybody hates you till they love you

29 Facebook niggas same niggas that would shove you

30 Cause nobody was jocking my style

31 I had a high voice, they called me faggot eight mile

32 So I stopped writing for a very long time

33 Thinkin' that a nigga wasn't made to bust rhymes

34 And this next part, sounds like nonsense

35 But I swear to God, Tina Fey gave me confidence

36 Taught me everything that is good comes from honesty

37 Everybody's got a voice, you just gotta follow it

38 She on a role model shit

39 From the day that I shook her hand

40 I knew that I'd never die a broke man

41 So I could try this rapping shit out again

42 The game need change, I'm a part of it

43 People tell me I should spit under Donald Glover

44 But I try to keep my real name undercover

45 Cause if you hear my name, then you think it's jokes

46 And I can't go for that, nigga Hall and Oates

47 My nigga stay down like a winter coat

48 I rap about my life not "I'm On A Boat"

49 Cause this joke rap shit's gotten out of hand

50 Only ones who do it well's Lonely Island

51 Save the raps about your cat, I am not a fan

52 Leave the joke raps alone, man I'm working here

53 I do not play around with this bullshit,

54 I am different, call it new shit

55 Labels want me to hurry and cash my check in

56 But I keep my shit free till the last possible second

57 Cause God knows that I don't need the money

58 You get your clothes free when you rich, ain't it funny?

59 But this limelight burn like a motherfuck

60 I wanna call my dad crying but I hang up

61 Cause I don't want him to worry, he's got his own shit

62 So I send him a check and tell him to hold it

63 If anything ever happens want you to know this

64 I always took the time to smell the roses

65 And wherever I am, I am doing fine

66 I'm here for a good, not a long, time
