Lyrics
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract] I don't need a gun in my neighborhood Back when I was, I was on tour with The Neighbourhood I used to keep guns in my neighborhood Now I wish a nigga would (Now I wish a nigga would) Now I wish a nigga would (Cool) I don't need a gun in my neighborhood Back when I was, I was on tour with The Neighbourhood I used to keep guns in my neighborhood Now I wish a nigga would (Now I wish a nigga would) Now I wish a nigga would (Cool) [Verse 1: Kevin Abstract] Probably gon' shoot me if they see me Now I'm on your TV, looking for a genie Told him I was genius, I don't do bleeding I need another season, they ain't seeing what I'm seeing, no? You might never wan' be me, no? Even when my skin greasy, no? McDonald's would've been the more fire option The barely famous shit is getting really fucking toxic I used to wanna be Ali, I tried to be a boxer Until you told me I could sing just like Mariah And started—right? [Verse 2: Matt Champion] Backup, I don't need no backup Block out all the chatter Missing all the gin lined up at the tavern All the same pattern, chokin' on tobacco Rinsing down my face in bathroom, ah Up and down I don't see me how you see me Made me not wanna be me, but I love me, love me down Often I be with my baby, clear water runnin' navy See me, are you ready? Up and down [Chorus: Kevin Abstract] I don't need a gun in my neighborhood Back when I was, I was on tour with The Neighbourhood I used to keep guns in my neighborhood Now I wish a nigga would (now I wish a nigga would) Now I wish a nigga would [Verse 3: Joba] Nevermind what I thought I knew How could I know? These days I just stay on the move Need to go home, everything I ever wanted I got Doesn't make me happy, is this really what I wanted? Oh God When it feels right it's wrong, I swear They tell me let go, let God So I let go sometimes Just to play with the fire I come alive late at night Been workin' overtime, got too much on my mind An out of sight state of mind [Spoken Word: Jim Carrey] "What I want doesn't stem from showbusiness, uh, generally. I mean- I started out with many many desires as far as- as far as this business goes and uh, I've so surpassed all of them that I- that it's- it's not as meaningful to me anymore. I really love the work itself. I've examined myself on several occasions: 'Why am I really doing this? Am I doing this because I want to be famous?' And I think there was an element to that when I first started out. I wanted to be a rainmaker."
