Cruisin’ Lyrics

[Verse 1: Childish Gambino]
Had this dream that I'm dead
But it look like a jungle do
Can’t explain with my head
But I feel like it's coming true
I be acting like ѕh¡t is cool
And this feelin’ that nothin's new
Doctor gave me another pill
Make me feel like an animal
I go walking the streets (Oh)
This life feel like the jungle now
Wish I could find a way
I'm trying every day (Uh, uh)
But I feel like I'm in a trap
I look up at the moon
And hope everything go to black

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]
(Beat it up, beat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, beat it up, uh)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, beat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, beat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, beat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, beat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, bеat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, beat it up)
Too much, too much (Beat it up, bеat it up)

[Post-Chorus: Childish Gambino]
But I still have a dream
Like I'm moving through Africa
I can’t sleep anymore
’Cuz I'm dreamin’ of Africa
I wake up and the sun in my eye (Yeah, yeah)
Like I'm seeing two Africas
I be living my dream
'Cuz this dreamin’ is not enough
(Beat it up, beat it up)

[Bridge: Childish Gambino]
(Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, why, why, why? (Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, why, why, why? (Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, why, why, why? (Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, why, why, why? (Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, why, why, why? (Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, why, why, why? (Beat it up, beat it up)

[Verse 2: Yeat & Childish Gambino]
When you almighty, all the Gods cry, all the Gods cry like—
Babies walking through the belly of the beasts, steady, all night
Near sight and far sight, huh, aliens make ya (Uh)
When you almighty, all the Gods cry, all the Gods cry, like
Babies walking through the belly of the beasts, steady, all night
Babies walking through the belly of the beasts, steady, all night

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]
(Too much, too much) (Ooh-ooh) On my own
(Too much, too much) (Aah) On my own
Can you help me, please?
On my own (Told us to lie)
(Too much, too much)
(But I'm feeling like I'm dreamin')
On my own (Beat it up, beat it up)
On my own (Beat it up, beat it up)
Told us to lie (Beat it up, beat it up)
Told us to lie (Beat it up, beat it up)
Told us to lie (Beat it up, beat it up)
Told us, told us (Beat it up, beat it up)

[Post-Chorus: Childish Gambino]
But I still have a dream
Like I'm moving through Africa
I can't sleep anymore
'Cuz I'm dreaming of Africa
I wake up and the sun in my eye
Like I'm seeing two Africas
I be living my dream
'Cuz this dreaming is not enough
Oh God (Beat it up, beat it up)

[Bridge: Childish Gambino]
(Beat it up, beat it up)
Nobody cares (Beat it up, beat it up) (Ah, ah)
Nobody cares about me (Beat it up, beat it up)
(Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh, la-la-la (Beat it up, beat it up)
No, they don't, no, ooh (Beat it up, beat it up)
Oh (Beat it up, beat it up)
I need help (Too much, too much)
Can you help me? (Too much, too much)
(Too much, too much)
I need to love someone
(Too much, too much)
I need to hold someone
(Too much, too much, too much, too much, oh)
I cannot do it on my own
I'm alone
I'm scared
I'm a fool
I need help
Can you help me, please?

[Outro: Childish Gambino & Legend Glover]
It's ok, ok, it's ok
I don't wanna go out there
I know, we're just gonna run
And we're gonna jump over it, that's it
That's all we're gonna do
I'm gonna hold your hand the entire run, ok?
We're gonna run, and we're gonna jump over it
Ok, you ready? ok
On the count of three, ready?
One, two, three
