Boys on the Block

[Intro: Childish Gambino]

Situations will arise in our lives

But you gotta be smart about it

Celebrations with the guys, I sacrifice

Cause you could not sleep without it

Girl I—cause I loved you

You were my girl

See I—thought the world of you

But so you know

I—cause I loved you

You were my girl

See I—cause I loved you

You were my girl

[Verse 1: Amir Royale]

Boys on the block are either getting their blocks shot

Or their shots blocked, they all suicidal

In the gym, in the streets—it doesn't really matter

They just living trademark lives from what Pac dropped

In his last album, it's sad

I saw him and Trav are so synonymous

Anonymous loves from behind the art

Who got conscious of stuff that were going on

In their daily lives that shouldn't have been

But you? Where the hell you been huh?

(Cause I love you) You know, cause—

I mean I'm still tryna figure me out but you?

(You were my girl) So you should stop playing around

And playing around with your heart

(Cause I love you) I'll still love you regardless

But, with all this money coming in right now

I'm tryna keep my fam alive in the 8 Mile of our stereotype

(Just so you know) Know what I mean?

[Bridge: Amir Royale, (Travis Raeburn) & Childish Gambino]

You don't have to call baby no, no

Come join us when you ready for it

Cause I’mma be alright tonight

Alright? It's winter time—and this just the warm up

You don't have to call baby no, no

Come by the fire babygirl

Cause I’mma be alright tonight

TravRae… (Yeah, I got your call—I was gon’ text you)

Situations

[Verse 2: Travis Raeburn]

I wrote a whole soliloquy to a Tiller beat

I pressed my thumb on the screen so it delete

You’ll never get this poetry sent subliminally

I cheat, but when I do it's discrete—can't catch me

I had a twin, but I caught a vid of you

And I saved it on my phone (Word?)

Wasn’t it wrong? (Nah)

Could've collaborated my knee with your partners dome

But in this life you are all alone

Get her out your zone, you a good soul

Sit'cho self down (Cause I love you)

Even though it hurts to get grown

With this young girl under your pillow and swirl

(You were my girl) Kill your referral

Cursed emotions, motivate all my motions

Toxic and potent (Cause I love you)

I'm convinced the scent tastes good

To make sense, to make truth off my chest

(Just so you know) Fuck it I guess, decision is best

[Outro: Travis Raeburn & Amir Royale]

Take my heart out my vest—I say it less

So tonight, I’m in another stratosphere

And you’re not welcome in here

What happens when there’s moonlight?

I’mma be alright, looking at this moonlight

(It look good) And I’mma do it outta spite

What happens when there’s sunshine?

That young girl, she gon’ do it outta spite

What happens when there’s moonlight?

Sorry, it feels right...
