Survive Lyrics
[Intro: Childish Gambino]
Summer’s always coming
All I wanna do is survive
But the weather’s always changin’
I’m just tryna save my life
My life, my life, my life
(Like that)
[Verse 1: Childish Gambino]
It’s a new verse with my old flow
There’s a new world and an old one
He was 17 back in ’01
Now we forty-teen, havin’ no fun
Man, I shake some on a livestream
It was summertime, had his icecream
But it melt fast, close your eyes and enjoy it and it might last (Like, like that)
Got a role in a movie but he typecast (Like, like that)
He on Drink Champs talkin’ with a shot glass (Like, like that)
It be like that
I’m a soldier
When I die, say I did it for the culture
Try to live below your means, that’s a pro tip
‘Cause them streams pay a nigga like a slow drip
With my son, watching Bluey like we both Crip
They be scared to try, saying that they underground
Made him hunker down, saying he a prepper now
Had a crazy arm, picked him in the second round (Like, like that)
Tore his AC hiking on the second down (Like, like that)
Made a comeback but ain’t nobody checkin’ now (Like, like that)
He ain’t stick around, yeah (Like, like that)
[Chorus: Childish Gambino, Chlöe]
Summer’s always comin’ (Uh)
All I wanna do is get high (Get high)
But the weather’s always changing (Oh, woah-oh)
I’m just tryna save
My life (My life)
My life (My life)
My life (My life)
My life (My life)
[Verse 2: Childish Gambino, Chlöe]
When a girl can’t get thicker (Like that)
And the house can’t get bigger (Like that)
When you hot, but you drink liquor (Yeah)
Feel like life go a lot quicker
How he lame but he that—
They in the minor leagues, but I’m pro-black (Like that)
I bet he hate his mom, how you know that? (Oh)
You got a podcast ’cause you can’t rap (Like that)
You on some Fresh and Fit shit, talking body counts (Oh)
I count a body every time I’m on tracks (Oh)
(Like that) Like that
[Chorus: Childish Gambino, Chlöe, Both]
Summer’s always comin’ (Yeah)
All I wanna do is get high, get high, get high (All I wanna do is get high)
But the weather’s always changin’ (Uh)
I’m just tryna save my life
My life (My life)
My life (My life)
My life (My life)
My life (My life)
Woo
[Outro: Childish Gambino, Chlöe & Childish Gambino, Chlöe]
How come every summer
Everyone
Always says
That it’s never gonna end
Every summer
Everyone (Everyone)
Hopes and prays (Hopes and prays)
That it’s ever gonna end
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (All I wanna do, yeah, yeah)
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (Oh)
My life, my life, my life
Get high
