Childish Gambino
Heartbeat
[Chorus]

I wanted you to know, that I am ready to go
A heartbeat, heartbeat
I wanted you to know, whenever you are around
I can’t speak, can’t speak

(Hey, um, it’s Thursday afternoon, I was just, uh, calling to see if you would pick up, and wanted to get something to eat tonight. I know we ain’t talked in a while, but I’ve never been close to anybody like you. You know what I mean? Yeah, uh, anyway, sorry for calling. You’re probably out with your boyfriend. I understand. I, uh, hope you’re having a good time. I hope you’ve been doing well. I guess, goodbye)

[Verse 1]

Love is the “E” word, backwards
Park in her driveway faster
Leave, return, leave till she comes
I was bad, but not that type of fucked up like…
Where you at?
I know your phone rang but you’re “taking a bath”
I know you heard it ring but you’re “taking a nap”
I know you only come around, when the time is down
Even though I would drop my hat
You put me on stage, I would rock that mat
Fuck going off, put it past the fences
Fuck the wenches, you can pop my bat
You said, “Boyfriend?” I said, “Baby”
I said, “Evil,” you said, “Maybe”
I said, “why not?” you said, “fuck you!”
You said, “over,” I said, “love you”
You said, “Keep me in your thoughts, we trouble”
Been through a lot homebody cause we struggle
I may be a bitch but don’t tell me to stay”
I said, “okay”
So now I listen, now I advise
You say, “Whats wrong?” I tell mad lies
You say, “Baby?” I say, “Boo”
You say, “Love me?” I say, “Love you”
Because

[Chorus]

(Hey, uh, it’s me again. I just, I wanted to let you know that I’ve been thinking about you recently. I know, I know I’ve tried to get back in touch a little bit. Maybe it’s a little premature, maybe it’s a little bit too early, but I miss you. I really do. Whether we’re just friends, or whether we can achieve something more like we used to have. I wanna see you again. Alright, I gotta go, I gotta go, goodbye.)

[Verse 2]

Mind blows, the world spins
The world ends, the world won’t end
Til I love some girl again, love some girl again
Make her my girly friend
This song was a product placement
New Me Supplies a replacement
And I know this shit don’t make sense
What’s a shirt gotta do with a fake bitch
With two faces, like a villain in a comic book?
She fake, but she kill it, man.. God.. she look
Like she could cure all problems
Panacea, you got ‘em
So, fuck your conclusions, fuck Kik
Fuck text, fuck this
Fuck you, fuck your shit
Dammit, I love it
Cause you’ve got me so high off the lies you told
Like “Boyfriend, you the best fucking guy I know!”
Said this your game ‘til the plane crashes
But you’re a snake on the plane that maimes bastards
Like me, who trust too quick
Who love too much, suck my dick
Fuck them Jays, son, kiss my kicks
But please, hit me on Kik
Like..

[Chorus]

(Heh, hey. Uh, this is awkward. I guess this being the third time I don’t get a response… I get the message. What I’ve been trying to say.. is that...)

[Verse 3]

What up? How you today?
You look pretty cool today?
I saw your post online, girl your style has changed
But if I had to say, you look pretty new today
How you been? How’s life?
Fucked up? Full of strife?
Boyfriend? Wanna life?
Wanna fuck your brains out all night?
I get it, me too
I got a girl like that, it’s true!
Her name? Well what’s his?
Oh I know him? Bullshit!
Still life, still frame
Still here, still pain
Still real, still game
Still fucked, insane
But hey, it’ll be alright
You can be my little thief in the night
Heh, I like that, Camera Thief
Now steal my heartbeat
