[Childish Gambino - CHILDISH GAMBINO INTERVIEW ON HOT 97 lyrics]
"It’s a pop album essentially
" Childish Gambino said "We never wanted
To make a rap album i’ve
Talked about this before rap is done rap is
Done i love Hip Hop i love rap
But the thing it was
Supposed to do it doesn’t do
Anymore like I love it
As a music it’s the same thing as like
Jazz jazz when it was doing
What it was supposed
To do and people still listen to jazz now
But it doesn’t have It’s not doing
The social work it’s supposed to
Do anymore and that’s not because
It’s gotten bad…It’s just a
Different movement whatever movement
Is happening now Like I would
Like to think I’m a leader
Of whatever movement is happening
People call it ‘new black’
People call it whatever, but I don’t want to
Name it cause it’s bs to name
It as soon as it
Gets named that’s when you start
Marketing it and it’s like
‘Ah, this is hipster’ Cause hipster was
Cool until it became hipsterand
Then it became monetized same thing
With Hip Hop so
Whatever this thing is whatever’s
Happening like whenever
Jaden Smith tells me he’s like ‘I’m
Real excited for whatever’s happening’ He can
Feel it i can feel it"
Later in the interview, the Stone Mountain
Georgia singer rapper discussed the lack of
"a sense of balance"
Between races and also addressed crooked cops
"That’s the thing
" he said "People feel like that’s
An attack on something it’s like
‘I get it i understand you guys
Are in charge you don’t
Want to lose the power i totally
Get it’…I’m not hating on
That i totally understand i get
It i’m just saying there’s
Got to be a sense of balance same
Thing with cops it’s like ‘I
Get it you’re putting your lives in
Danger also but what am
I supposed to do when a cop
Who’s a bad person does something?
Who am I supposed to tell?
I would call you guys
But at the same time I
Know what’s gonna happen’"

Death of 18-year-old Mike Brown in
Ferguson, Missouri in the poem
He states "I wanna be a white rapper"
