not going back

Childish Gambino

It seems like they all want me to fail
But Iââ?¬â?¢m not goinââ?¬â?¢ back
Not goinââ?¬â?¢ back, baby

Please tell me you donââ?¬â?¢t want me to fail
ââ?¬Ë?cause Iââ?¬â?¢m not goinââ?¬â?¢ back
Not goinââ?¬â?¢ back

I coulda been a tragedy
Thatââ?¬â?¢s why these fake niggas who call me pussy are mad at me
ââ?¬Ë?cause they ainââ?¬â?¢t have the smarts or the heart
Ainââ?¬â?¢t you read the fuckinââ?¬â?¢ book? things fall apart
I was never gonna stay the same
All I ever really wanted was to change the game
Spent the year kickinââ?¬â?¢ ass and takinââ?¬â?¢ names
Try to tell it to your heart, taylor dayne
Mama told me I was special when them test scores came in
Callinââ?¬â?¢ the new will smith, thatââ?¬â?¢s jaden
Callinââ?¬â?¢ me a faggot when Iââ?¬â?¢m rappinââ?¬â?¢, thatââ?¬â?¢s hatinââ?¬â?¢
I need to slow down, what the fuck is yââ?¬â?¢all sayinââ?¬â?¢?
Step inside the party, yââ?¬â?¢all niggas is mood killers
My lifestyle simple, live easy and bruce willis
Iââ?¬â?¢m the boss, michael scott, yââ?¬â?¢all bitches is just phyllis
Set the world on fire, yââ?¬â?¢all motherfuckers is chillinââ?¬â?¢, what is this?
Thatââ?¬â?¢s why these fuckinââ?¬â?¢ mcs want their asses back
Donââ?¬â?¢t you know that Iââ?¬â?¢m a rapist? ask a track
Whiskey-sippinââ?¬â?¢, wanna drink the whole bottle
But these smart middle-class black kids need a role model
Fuckinââ?¬â?¢ hate me, thatââ?¬â?¢s what Iââ?¬â?¢m used to
Suck a dick, we the shit, metamucil
God damn, man, thereââ?¬â?¢s gotta be a better way
Than pill-poppinââ?¬â?¢ all these drugs so I can stay awake
Like Iââ?¬â?¢m jessie in this bitch, Iââ?¬â?¢m so excited
Thereââ?¬â?¢s a party at the top, you ainââ?¬â?¢t invited
But itââ?¬â?¢s lame, and all the bitches is fake
You think about your old girl and how breakinââ?¬â?¢ upââ?¬â?¢s a mistake
Black dudes assume Iââ?¬â?¢m closeted or kinda gay
White people confused like girl on glee and gabourey
I am donald is a full-time job
These niggas want me to fail so they can write me off

It seems like they all want me to fail
But Iââ?¬â?¢m not goinââ?¬â?¢ back
Not goinââ?¬â?¢ back, baby

Please tell me you donââ?¬â?¢t want me to fail
ââ?¬Ë?cause Iââ?¬â?¢m not goinââ?¬â?¢ back
Not goinââ?¬â?¢ ba-ack

Dirty girls love my dick, theyââ?¬â?¢re cockroaches
Jewish girls eat my meat, itââ?¬â?¢s not kosher
Relax, black chick, I think that I have offended thee
Got nothinââ?¬â?¢ against the sistas, I just donââ?¬â?¢t think theyââ?¬â?¢re into me
I am not a thug, aka what they pretend to be
I am just myself, aka my worst enemy
Yeah, bitch, cut the swag with a fuckinââ?¬â?¢ knife
I come hard like my life keep her pussy tight
Itââ?¬â?¢s cool, though, itââ?¬â?¢s all good
You want a dude who keep it real, and stay hood
Iââ?¬â?¢m sorry, babe, but I act me
I donââ?¬â?¢t act black, whatever that be
Iââ?¬â?¢m just happy these girls seem into me now
Yeah, they lookinââ?¬â?¢ for some in n out, animal style
With this lettuce, cheese, bread, makinââ?¬â?¢ sandwiches
Thatââ?¬â?¢s why you niggas fail like all of your parentsââ?¬â?¢ marriages
Ran into rashida jones, told me that she heard my song
When I called her mixed like the crowd at my last show
She said to write her somethinââ?¬â?¢ nice on the next track
But she cute, so I wrote her ass a whole rap
Man, I threw that shit away, it felt dumb
Believe me, it was bad, weââ?¬â?¢re better off, youââ?¬â?¢re welcome
I worked hard on that song like day and night
That whole song, made this one verse crazy, right?
I guess it all goes somewhere, you know that
Like that bullshit you talked before culdesac
ââ?¬Å?I didnââ?¬â?¢t know he had it in ââ?¬Ë?im!ââ?¬
Couldnââ?¬â?¢t see me as spiderman, but now Iââ?¬â?¢m spittinââ?¬â?¢ venom
Now you payinââ?¬â?¢ attention, pick your fuckinââ?¬â?¢ face up
When I wanna be a superhero I just wake up
Renaissance man with a hollywood buzz
I refuse to go back to not likinââ?¬â?¢ who I was
Because

Fake love, these fake dreams
These fake sounds
All the things that we felt
Your voice was screaming too loud
I know what youââ?¬â?¢re ready to be
But it isnââ?¬â?¢t with me
So Iââ?¬â?¢m ready to leave you alone

I donââ?¬â?¢t really wanna fight like this
I donââ?¬â?¢t ever wanna lose your kiss
All I ever wanted was someone to hold on to

I just wanna be your girl
Everything you havenââ?¬â?¢t heard, plus
I just wanna be with you

(with you) with you
(with you) with you
(with you) I just wanna be with you

(with you) with you
(with you) with you
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
