We Ain't Them Lyrics - Royalty - Childish Gambino

Pickin' out my 'fro with a fist comb 

I got a tab at the stone baby, this long 

My little brother was having a little trouble 

I hope that he doesn't care that it's in this song 

Korean town lunchin', talking 'bout how to run things 

He said Atlanta wanted something 

Waka, Jeezy, and Future got the streets locked down 

Copycats making sure Tip keep that crown 

I'm fucking 'round with the truth, went to see The Roots 

Quest brought me back on stage in a suit 

I went hard cause niggas say that I'm soft 

Even Black Thought thought I maimed it a little hard, I gotta be honest 

Feeling like the other stuff is kinda behind us 

Making jokes here and there done got us some dollars 

I'm tryna show the whole world what it is and it ain't a game 

He said homie stay the course, ain't shit changed 

Weird night and everybody was tipsy 

Hanging out with Questlove reminiscing 'bout Whitney 

He like, Man, we can't even make it to 50?! 

That reminds me - I sent a long text message to my mom and pop 

I got the same speech when I left 30 Rock 

My mom like, "Why you wanna leave a good job?" 

My dad like, "Do your thing, boy don't stop" 

Shout out to my nigga Lud, shout out to my nigga Swank

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

For hanging out at the crib and telling me what you think 

Speak from your heart, and never compromise what you feel is real 

And never let these white people tell you how to feel 

Never let anybody tell you how to feel 

I wanted what they had back in the fourth grade 

Family vacays, you know I did it all 

Just to see my little sis by a waterfall 

My great granddad bought his own freedom 

Walk barefoot to Virginia to start his own peanut farm 

So don't be alarmed - man I'm royalty 

Jam of the week, V103 

No cosign, no bovine 

More swag, pull back on the punchlines 

Starving, every track means lunch time 

I'm a star, how could I not shine? 

Fuck boys chase hype and scrat chicks 

And niggas who stopped texting after 1.6 

DG Lover ain't nothing to fuck wit' 

D Money ain't nothing to fuck wit' 

And what's a leader if he isn't reluctant 

Too bad for y'all, I'm blasting off 

I'm not Asher Roth, I don't sleep on my bread 

Dick riders stay close, I might flash a ball 

Sometimes, all this shit make a nigga feel guilty 

I used to sleep with them roaches 

Back of my mind though, I hope the show gets cancelled 

Maybe then I can focus 

Hawaii touch down, go ahead baby put your shades on 

East Side, East Side to the gravestone! 

Brown liquor but my girl in Bed-Stuy 

Nigga, you got Drive like a sale at Best Buy 

Hold up, hold up, we can do better 

Put my voice on the track, man that shit is much wetter 

At the studio at 8 AM 

Hit the booth then eat, nigga we ain't them, nigga we ain't them! 

Said that shit about a week ago, you still mad at us 

If there's something on your chest, nigga let it out 

Cause I'm the best - da da da
