LAMB Lyrics

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine


[Post-Chorus: Merlyn Wood]
I'm just a boy yeah, I'm just a boy yeah
I try way too hard, I'm just a boy yeah
I'm just a boy yeah, I'm just a boy yeah
I try way too hard, I'm just a boy yeah


[Verse 1: Joba]
It doesn't rain in L.A
And I'm afraid to see your face
Flashback to the flash floods
And the slow-paced Texas days
We never change, no no
Forever was just a phase
I didn't mean to leave you lonely
I just had to do what's best for me, selfishly
I'll admit that
I'm in a fetal hold, I'm a weak man
I'm a weak man
I hit the ground running
Trippin' on my feet
As the distance between us
Became more than I can see
I hope you're okay
Yeah, I hope you're okay
I went to the beach yesterday
And cried 'cause I missed you
The waves don't crash the same
And the sun still burns me

[Bridge 1: Joba]
I'll miss you for all my life
I'll love you for all my life
I'll miss you for all my life
I'll love you for all my life
(Another day away, another state away)
I'll miss you for all my life
(Another day away, another state away)
I'll love you for all my life
(Another day away)
I'll miss you for all my life
I'll love you for all my life

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

[Verse 2: Ameer Vann]
I can't stand it here no more
I've been banging at your door
I'm so lost in Hollywood
All that shit I put you through
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, yeah
I'm so sorry
But you won't wait for someday
We had dreams, married Sunday
But I left Texas, now you hate me
In this town where I can't breathe
Yes, I love you, but I can't stay
And you ask why, but I can't say

[Verse 3: Dom McLennon]
Still ain't find all the answers
I don't want to be standard
Surgeries, I've been tampered
Watched her fight and beat cancer
Wasn't ready to let me go
I wasn't ready for life without
Fear one day that I'll make that call
I have to face all my darkest doubts
I can scream when I think of what happens for a reason
Find my ways to fly with everyone, I lost when I'm dreaming
I don't wanna wake up when I get a chance to catch that feeling
Letting go, every second that I live until I stop breathing
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine

This ol' sky, if I die
I hope I'm no random guy

Somewhere out there they will say
He is mine, he is mine


[Post-Chorus: Merlyn Wood]
I'm just a boy, yeah, I'm just a boy, yeah
I try way too hard, I'm just a boy, yeah
I'm just a boy, yeah, I'm just a boy, yeah
I try way too hard, I'm just a boy, yeah
I'm just a boy, yeah, I'm just a boy, yeah
I try way too hard, I'm just a boy, yeah
I'm just a boy, yeah, I'm just a boy, yeah
I try way too hard, I'm just a boy, yeah

[Bridge 2: Kevin Abstract]
Texas sky, if I die, I hope that I'm no random guy
It's so mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Texas sky, if I die, I hope that I'm no random guy

[Verse 4: Kevin Abstract]
You made me do things I don't ever wanna do
You made me say things I don't ever wanna say
You ain't act ways that are natural
I'd rather end up in disaster
Imagine me and you outside
When the wind can't hurt my pride
Imagine me and you in a car crash
Imagine me and you shared a last laugh
Imagine me and you hold hands
Fake ass romantics
Like all the niggas we stanned
Think that's a classic, damn
You let me share your couch with you
I thank you for that
You let me share your house with you
I thank you for that

You let me wipe my mouth with you
I thank you for that
You let me write my songs about you
And I hate you for that
And I can't get it

“LAMB” is a song by BROCKHAMPTON originally believed to a part of their second studio album, SATURATION II. This theory was debunked when the group previewed a shirt that read “LAMB WILL NOT BE ON SATURATION II.”

While the video edit of the song was released on the band’s YouTube page on June 7th, 2017, a full 10-minute version of the song was included on the SATURATION DRAFTS disk as part of the SATURATION boxset that was released in December 2017.

Kevin Abstract debuted this version of the song in his Instagram live stream on August 16, 2017:

Genius Answer

In a 2019 interview with GQ, HK shared:

We were just outright everywhere on the block, and we acted like we owned it. The people that really ran the block, they weren’t appreciative of the fact that we were there. We never really checked in or anything like that. So it’s funny, because when we shot “LAMB,” we were scared to shoot another video in the street. That’s why we shot it in our driveway with the gate closed. Right after that, I was like, “All right, things are at a standstill now. We gotta get out of here.”
