Outside Lyrics - Camp - Childish Gambino

I used to dream every night, now I never dream at all 

Hopin' that it's cause I'm livin' everything I want 

Used to wake up in a bed between my mom and aunt 

Playing with this Land Before Time toy from Pizza Hut 

My dad works nights 

Putting on a stone face 

He's saving up so we can get our own place 

In the projects, man that sounds fancy to me 

They called me fat nose, my mom say you handsome to me 

Mrs. Glover ma'am, your son is so advanced 

But he's acting up in class and keeps peeing in his pants 

And I just wanna fit in, but nobody was helping me out 

They talking hood shit and I ain't know what that was about 

Cause hood shit and black shit is super different 

So I'm talking hood shit and cool it now like New Edition 

Mom and dad wouldn't listen 

They left the Bronx so I wouldn't be that 

All their friends in NY deal crack 

It's weird, you think that they'd be proud of 'em 

But when you leave the hood they think that you look down on 'em 

The truth is we still struggle on a different plane 

7 dollars an hour, WIC vouchers, it's all the same 

Facebook messaging hopin' that could patch up shit 

But all they get now is, "Can your son read this script?"

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

We can follow the road 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

No one knows 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

We can follow the road 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

No one knows 

Photos 

Yeah 

Dad lost his job 

Mama worked at Mrs. Winner's 

Gun pulled in her face 

She still made dinner 

"Donald watch the meter 

So they don't turn the lights off" 

Workin' two jobs so I can get into that white school 

And I hate it there 

They all make fun of my clothes and wanna touch my hair 

And my uncle on that stuff that got my Grandma shook 

Drug dealers roughed him up and stole his address book 

He's supposed to pay 'em back 

He owe 'em money but his bank account is zero 

So my momma made us sleep with Phillips heads under the pillow 

Like that would do somethin' 

But she's got six kids, she's gotta do somethin' 

She don't want me in a lifestyle like my cousin 

And he mad cause his father ain't around 

He lookin' at me now, like 

"Why you so fuckin lucky? 

I had a father too 

But he ain't around so I'mma take it out on you" 

We used to say "I love you" 

Now we only think that shit 

It feels weird that you're the person I took sink baths with 

Street took you over 

I want my cousin back 

The world sayin' what you are because you're young and black 

Don't believe 'em 

You're still that kid that kept the older boys from teasin' 

For some reason 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

We can follow the road 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

No one knows 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

We can follow the road 

There's a world we can visit if we go outside 

Outside, outside 

No one knows 

Can you hear me now? 

Can you hear me now? 

Oh, help us Lord 

Oh, baby baby baby
