Survive Songtext
von Childish Gambino

Summer′s always comin'
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)

It′s a new verse (new verse) with my old flow (with my old flow)
There′s a new world (new world) and an old one (and an old one)
He was 17 (17) back in '01 (′01)
Now we 40-teen (40-teen), havin' no fun (no fun)

Man, I shake some (shake some) on a livestream (on a livestream)
It was summertime (summertime), had his ice cream (ice cream)
But it melt fast (melt fast), close your eyes and enjoy it (like, like that)
And it might last (might last)
(Like, like that) got a role in a movie, but he typecast (typecast)
(Like, like that) he on Drink Champs talkin′ with a shot glass (shot glass)
(Like, like that) it'd be like that (like that)


I′m a soldier (soldier), when I die, say I did it for the culture (culture)
Try and live below your means, that's a pro tip (pro tip)
'Cause them streams pay a nigga like a slow drip (slow drip)
With my son, watchin′ Bluey like we both Crip (both Crip)
They be scared to try, sayin′ that they underground (underground)
Made him hunker down, sayin' he a prepper now (prepper now)
(Like, like that) had a crazy arm, picked him in the second round (second round)
(Like, like that) tore his AC hikin′ on the second down (second down)
(Like, like that) made a comeback but ain't nobody checkin′ now (checkin' now)
(Like, like that) he ain′t stick around, yeah

Summer's always comin' (uh)
All I wanna do is get high (get high)
But the weather′s always changin′ (oh, whoa)
I'm just tryna save my life (my life)
My life, my life
My life, my life
My life, my life

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, talkin' body counts (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I count a body every time I'm on tracks (oh, oh-oh)
(Like that) like that (like that)


Summer′s always comin′ (yeah)
All I wanna do is get high (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)
(Like that) my life (my life)
(Like that) my life (my life)
(Like that) my life (whoo)

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-la (all I wanna do, do, do, do yeah, yeah)
La-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la
My life, yeah, life, yeah, life

Get high
