Childish Gambino - Not Going Back lyrics
It seems like they all want me to fail But I'm not goin' back Not goin' back, baby Please tell me you don't want me to fail 'Cause I'm not goin' back Not goin' back I coulda been a tragedy That's why these fake n***as who call me p**y are mad at me 'Cause they ain't have the smarts or the heart Ain't you read the f**in' book? Things fall apart I was never gonna stay the same All I ever really wanted was to change the game Spent the year kickin' a** and takin' names Try to tell it to your heart, Taylor Dayne Mama told me I was special when them test scores came in Callin' the new Will Smith, that's Jaden Callin' me a f*ggot when I'm rappin', that's hatin' I need to slow down, what the f** is y'all sayin'? Step inside the party, y'all n***as is mood k**ers My lifestyle simple, live easy and Bruce Willis I'm the boss, Michael Scott, y'all b**hes is just Phyllis Set the world on fire, y'all motherf**ers is chillin', what is this? That's why these f**in' MCs want their a**es back Don't you know that I'm a rapist? Ask a track Whiskey-sippin', wanna drink the whole bottle But these smart middle-cla** black kids need a role model f**in' hate me, that's what I'm used to s** a dick, we the sh**, Metamucil God damn, man, there's gotta be a better way Than pill-poppin' all these d** so I can stay awake Like I'm Jessie in this b**h, I'm so excited There's a party at the top, you ain't invited But it's lame, and all the b**hes is fake You think about your old girl and how breakin' up's a mistake Black dudes a**ume I'm closeted or kinda gay White people confused like girl on Glee and Gabourey I Am Donald is a full-time job These n***as want me to fail so they can write me off It seems like they all want me to fail But I'm not goin' back Not goin' back, baby Please tell me you don't want me to fail 'Cause I'm not goin' back Not goin' ba-ack Dirty girls love my dick, they're co*kroaches Jewish girls eat my meat, it's not kosher Relax, black chick, I think that I have offended thee Got nothin' against the sistas, I just don't think they're into me I am not a thug, AKA what they pretend to be I am just myself, AKA my worst enemy Yeah, b**h, cut the swag with a f**in' knife I come hard like my life keep her p**y tight It's cool, though, it's all good You want a dude who keep it real, and stay hood I'm sorry, babe, but I act me I don't act black, whatever that be I'm just happy these girls seem into me now Yeah, they lookin' for some In N Out, animal style With this lettuce, cheese, bread, makin' sandwiches That's why you n***as fail like all of your parents' 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 somethin' nice on the next track But she cute, so I wrote her a** a whole rap Man, I threw that sh** away, it felt dumb Believe me, it was bad, we're better off, you'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 bullsh** you talked before Culdesac 'I didn't know he had it in 'I'm! ' Couldn't see me as Spiderman, but now I'm spittin' venom Now you payin' attention, pick your f**in' 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 likin' 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 you're ready to be But it isn't with me So I'm ready to leave you alone I don't really wanna fight like this I don't ever wanna lose your kiss All I ever wanted was someone to hold on to I just wanna be your girl Everything you haven'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
