That Power - Childish Gambino
All these haters See you later All that I could do But you don'teven feel me though I know you know I know you got that power That power This is on a bus back from camp I'mthirteen and so are you Before I left for camp I imagined it would be me and three or four other dudes I hadn'tmet yet running around all summer Getting into trouble It turned out it would be me and just one girl That'syou And we'restill at camp As long as we'reon the bus And not at the pickup point Where our parents would be waiting for us We'restill wearing our orange camp tshirtsWe still smell like pineneedles I like you and you like me and I morethanlikeyou But I don'tknow if you do or don'tmorethanlikeme You'venever said so I haven'tbeen saying anything all summer Content to enjoy the small miracle of a girl Choosing to talk to me and choosing to do so again The next day and so on A girl who'ssmart and funny and who If I say something dumb for a laugh Is willing to say something two or three times As dumb to make me laugh But who also gets weird and wise sometimes in a way I could never be A girl who reads books that no one'sassigned to her Whose curly brown hair has a line running through it from Where she put a tie to hold it up while it was still wet Back in the real world we don'tgo to the same school And unless one of our families moves to a dramatically different neighborhood We won'tgo to the same high school So this is kind of it for us Unless I say something And it might especially be it for us if I actually do say something The sun'sgone down and the bus is quiet A lot of kids are asleep We'retalking in whispers about a tree we saw at a rest stop that looks like a kid we know And then I'mlike "CanI tell you something "And all of a sudden I'mtelling you And I keep telling you and it all comes out of me And it keeps coming and your face is there and gone And there and gone as we pass underneath the orange lamps That line the sides of the highway And there'sno expression on it And I think just after a point I'mjust talking to lengthen the time Where we live in a world where you haven'tsaid "yes"or "no"yet And regrettably I end up using the word "destiny"I Don'tremember in what context Doesn'treally matter Before long I'mout of stuff to say And you smile and say "okay"I don'tknow exactly what you mean by it But it seems vaguely positive and I would leave in order not to spoil the moment But there'snowhere to go because we'reare on a bus So I pretend like I'masleep and before long I really am I wake up the bus isn'tmoving anymore The domed lights that line the center aisle are all on I turn and you'renot there Then again a lot of kids aren'tin their seats anymore We'reparked at the pickuppoint Which is in the parking lot of a Methodist church The bus is half empty You might be in your dad'scar by now Your bags and things piled high in the trunk The girls in the back of the bus are shrieking And laughing and taking their sweet time disembarking As I swing my legs out into the aisle to get up off the bus Just as one of them reaches my row It used to be our row on our way off It'sMichelle A girl who got suspended from third grade for a week After throwing rocks at my head Adolescence is doing her a ton of favors bodywiseShe stops and looks down at me And her head is blasted from behind by the dome light So I can'treally see her face but I can see her smile "destiny"Then her and the girls clogging the aisles behind her All laugh and then she turns and leads them off the bus I didn'tknow you were friends with them I find my dad in the parking lot He drives me back to our house and camp is over So is summer even though there'stwo weeks until school starts This isn'ta story about how girls are evil or how love is bad This is a story about how I learned something And I'mnot saying this thing is true or not I'mjust saying it'swhat I learned I told you something It was just for you and you told everybody So I learned cut out the middle man Make it all for everybody always Everybody can'tturn around and tell everybody Everybody already knows I told them But this means there isn'ta place in my life for you or someone like you Is it sad Sure But it'sa sadness I chose I wish I could say this was a story about how I got on the bus aboy and got offon the bus a boy and got off a man more cynical hardened and mature and But sh*tthat'snot true The truth is I got on the bus a boy And I never got off the bus I still haven'tstill haven'tGuitar score
