(Okay)
Sunshine, blue skies
Took time to realize I could really do whatever I want (Okay)
Said I could really do whatever I want (Okay, okay)
Sunshine (Sunshine), blue skies (Blue skies)
Took time to realize you could really do whatever you want (You want)
Said you could really do whatever you want
Come now (Okay)

[Post-Chorus: Childish Gambino]
Don't let all (Yeah) of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down
Don't let all (Okay) of this (Okay) bring you down
Don't let all (Yeah) of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down (Okay, okay)

[Verse 1: Childish Gambino]
Peanut butter jelly is my favorite (Yum, woo, woo)
Pleasе don't mess with family, that's too dangerous (Bow, ooh, mm)
"Get your monеy, black man, that ain't changin' us" (Yeah, woo)
My life get that sunshine like Los Angeles (Ah, yeah, ayy)
My life got two halos 'round my neck (Two, my life, woo)
My life got more halos than that chick (Yessir, woo)
My life on my own, y'all ain't clonin' this (Y'all ain't clonin' us)
Y'all, Childish is here, y'all ain't grown enough (Woo, damn)
Shout-out to my brother, you the truth (You the truth, hey)
Shout-out to my sister, get that loot (Shawty)
I'm on break on an island, I'm on break (Yessir, woo)
This is great, momma cookin', this is great, ooh (Damn)
Look at my son, so little (Woo)
I got the team like pick-up (Swish)
I used to dream 'bout come up (Wait)
But now I'm feeling good, might shut up (Woo)
Someone sleeping, Lord, kumbaya (Kumbaya)
Used to sleep on floors, everyday (Yeah, ayy, yeah)
[Chorus: Childish Gambino]
Sunshine, blue skies
Took time to realize I could really do whatever I want (Okay)
Said I could really do whatever I want (Okay, okay)
Sunshine (Sunshine), blue skies (Blue skies)
Took time to realize you could really do whatever you want (You want)
Said you could really do whatever you want
Come now (Come now)

[Post-Chorus: Childish Gambino]
Don't let all of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down (Bring you down)
Don't let all of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down (Don't let us down)
Don't let all of this bring you down
Don't let all of this bring you down (Don't let us down)
Don't let all of this bring you down (Okay)

[Verse 2: 21 Savage]
Drop it off (21), let me see if your booty soft
Gold mouth (Hol' up, hol' up), yes, I'm from the dirty South
Lights out (Straight up), summertime, I brought the ice out (21)
Pipes out (On God), all my shooters came from Moscow
Got a girl in Harvard, I talk proper when I call her (21)
Baby, I'm a baller, ain't no way that I can rob you (Straight up)
She don't want no new friends, she just tryna buy her a new Benz (On God)
I been countin' M's, me and Ben Franklin damn near kin (On God)
Put my mind to it and I did it, damn fact (21)
Talkin' 'bout your brother to get some pussy, that's wack (Straight up)
The police keep harassin' 'cause I'm rich and I'm black (Straight up)
They mad 'cause I made myself a boss without crack (On God)
I ain't trippin', boy, I'm Lamborghini whippin' (21, 21)
Straight up out the trenches, money made me ignorant (Ya dig?)
I'm on a private jet eatin' Popeyes chicken (21)
I be flexin' like I'm eatin' Popeyes, spinnin' (21, 21, 21)
[Refrain: Childish Gambino]
Don't worry (Don't you worry), be the one (Yeah, oh)
Don't worry (Don't you worry now, now, now), have some fun (Yeah)
Don't worry (Don't you worry), be the one (No, no-no, no, no-no)
Don't worry (Don't you worry), have some fun (Have your fun)

[Outro: Childish Gambino]
Sunshine, blue skies
Took time to realize I could really do whatever I want
Said I could really do whatever I want
Sunshine, blue skies
