Childish Gambino
As we stand together
Promise me
That we'll teach the children
That we must be free
There is no joy in sorrow
No truth untold
And the cruel among us
Are tired and old
Mother infinity
Why do you go, away from me?
Do you feel me?
Do you see me?
A voice keeps on telling me
That we've got to be
That we have to be
Free
You think I'm crazy, but I'm higher all the time
This life is something that is more than a lie
And every day I wake, my life is on the line
You know I've got to keep on moving, yeah
There are beasts untamed
Who will eat the young
And you'll become the same
If you stay too long
If the drug is faint
Then the high is low
Atavista, atavista
Atavista
You think I'm crazy, but I'm higher all the time
This life is something that is more than a lie
And every day I wake, my life is on the line
You know I've got to keep on moving, yeah
The game we play ain't fair, but play it, do we dare?
But people do they care? 'Bout what's happening?
Now you can have your cake if it's all you need
And what can you do? There are mouths to feed
And it's not insane
If we all believe
Atavista, atavista
