About This Track

The title track from BROCKHAMPTON's fifth studio album, released in August 2019, finds the collective in a reflective mode. The production is spare and the vocal arrangement cyclical, built around a mantra-like hook about autonomy and personal space that repeats through the song's runtime. The verses shift between self-interrogation and defiance. One member questions their purpose whilst acknowledging a loss of trust and love; another catalogues small victories of appearance and demeanour against a backdrop of financial precarity. The refrain 'you know you got your own' functions as both reassurance and boundary, a repeated assertion of independence that doubles as self-persuasion. The mood is introspective without settling into melancholy, the group's trademark conversational delivery keeping the existential questions grounded.

"GINGER" is a track by BROCKHAMPTON, from the album GINGER, released 19th August 2019. The track is 3:54 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about BROCKHAMPTON.

Lyrics

GINGER

Know you got your own shit, and all of it together
And you know you got your own space right here forever, baby
You know you got your own, know you got your own
Know you got your own, know you, know you got your own
Know you got your own shit, and all of it together (my own session)
And you know you got your own space right here forever, baby (and my own blessing)
You know you got your own, know you got your own
Know you got your own, know you, know you got your own
Know you got your own shit, and all of it together (my own session)
And you know you got your own space right here forever, babe (and my own blessing)
You know you got your own, know you got your own
Know you got your own, know you, know you got your own

Ayy, stay sound when you not around
Mood is always better whenever you not around
Fuckin' up the weather and you fuckin' up my town
Fuckin' up a sweater and I'm fuckin' up a gown
Look at how I'm shinin' though
Look at how I'm smilin' though
Look at how I'm smilin'
Look at how I'm wildin', and I'm still broke, uh
You still think I'm a joke, uh, I still think I'm a joke, uh
I still think it ain't gon' work out, leave that shit
Woah, woah, woah, woah

Tell me, goddamn, what God made me for?
I don't even love no more
I don't even trust no more
I don't need the clubs no more
Some things outside of my control
I need some space, I need to roll

So I go
Blame my soul
Say I won't
I never tried to let you go so deep, deep, deep, deep

Know you got your own shit, and all of it together (my own session)
And you know you got your own space right here forever, baby (and my own blessing)
You know you got your own, know you got your own
Know you got your own, know you, know you got your own
Know you got your own shit, and all of it together (my own session)
And you know you got your own space right here forever, baby (and my own blessing)
You know you got your own, know you got your own
Know you got your own, know you, know you got your own

But I couldn't hide, you swear and you cry
You see threat and violence, they fall under mine
Perfect reason why we'll bring them to life
Always chasing a ride, but aren't you mine?
But I couldn't hide, you swear and you cry
You see threat and violence, they fall under mine
Perfect reason why we'll bring them to life
Always chasing a ride, but aren't you mine?

I don't wanna take this ride
I don't wanna take this ride
Perfect reason why, perfect reason why, why, why
I don't wanna take this ride
Perfect reason why, perfect reason why, why, why
I don't wanna take this ride
Perfect reason why, perfect reason why
But aren't you mine?
