All The Shine Lyrics


[verse 1]
what the fuck do y'all niggas really want?
i went with realness instead
but all the real niggas i know either crazy or dead
yeah, i dropped the free ep for these other kids to feel a lot
niggas keep asking on whether this dude's for real or not
i'm not trying to come hard, i'm trying to come me
that's why these older songs that i used to make i'd release free
what's the point of rap if you can't be yourself, huh?
that's why i come first like my cell phone
i'm a role model, i am not these other guys
i rap about my dick and talk about what girls is fly
i know it's dumb, that's the fucking reason i'm doing it
so why does everyone have a problem with talking stupid shit?
or is it real shit?
'cause sometimes that stupid shit is real shit
like when you make out with your best friend's baby sis
you know the one with short hair you used to babysit?

see, that's not even right
you with a different girl like each and every fucking night
and kiss her while she's sleeping and sneak out the front to catch a flight
that's not life, dude
it's just making up for fucks i missed in high school
i keep it wrapped until i meet the right one
'cause i ain't mumford, i ain't tryin' to have sons
all i wanted was some more like ashton
i ain't the coolest but i know i got passion
i got passion![hook]
i really wanna do right and it doesn't matter
we've got all the shine we need to find
i really wanna do right and it doesn't matter
we've got all the shine we need to find
"baby, i'm okay." she said, "why you gotta act so strange?"
i said, "baby, i'm okay." she said, "why you gotta act so strange?"
i said, "baby, i'm okay." she said, "why you gotta act so strange?"
"baby, i'm okay." she said, "why you gotta act so strange?"[verse: 2]
am i serious? i don't even know
are you hearing this? this shit is laughable
i ain't trying, i'm doing, these other rappers are foolish
i got fame, my a&r's a computer
is there room in the game for a lame who rhymes?
who wears short-shorts and makes jokes sometimes?
my nigga like, "i'd get you mtv if i could, man
but pitchfork only likes rappers who crazy or hood, man"
so, i guess we gon' see
i ain't curren$y, but if there ain't money in my name please murder me
sometimes i feel like i ain't supposed to be here
sometimes i wake up, i don't want to be here
my mom loved to text me psalm verses
she don't look at me like i'm the same person
i used to be the sweet one, but things change
and i don't want them missing a son like bone's last name
and all my uncles alcoholics, shame on me
i drink whiskey till i'm grounded, no tv
i wanna go inside the club with no gold piece
and walk in with no i.d. and no i.d
no matter how far the hood seems
we all still got hood dreams
i always wanted to get picked on the cool team
but alone is exactly how i should be[hook]
i really wanna do right and it doesn't matter
we've got all the shine we need to find
i really wanna do right and it doesn't matter
we've got all the shine we need to find
we really wanna do right and it doesn't matter
we've got all the shine we need to find
we really wanna do right and it doesn't matter
we've got all the shine we need to find
we need to find
we need to find
"baby, i'm okay." she said, "why you gotta act so strange?"
i said, "baby, i'm okay." she said, "why you gotta act so strange?"

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Donald McKinley Glover (born September 25, 1983) is an American actor, writer, comedian, musician and rapper. Glover first came to attention for his work in the sketch group Derrick Comedy and is best known for his role as community college student Troy Barnes on the NBC comedy series Community.

Glover was born on Edwards Air Force Base, California, and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia, United States. He graduated from New York University with a degree in Dramatic Writing in 2006. Glover is known for his work on the NBC show Community alongside Joel McHale and Chevy Chase. Glover was a writer for The Daily Show in 2005 and the NBC series 30 Rock from 2008 to 2009, where he also had an occasional cameo appearance. He was presented the Writers Guild of America Award award for Best Comedy Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the third season of 30 Rock.

Glover raps as Childish Gambino, a name he found from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator. He released an album entitled Sick Boi on June 5, 2008, in which he thanks himself. On September 17, 2009, Gambino released the album Poindexter. A pair of mixtapes entitled I AM JUST A RAPPER, and I AM JUST A RAPPER 2 were released in close succession in early 2010; Robert Scahill added his producing expertise, helping with the majority of the tracks.

His third album, Culdesac, was set to be released on July 2, 2010, but a couple of last minute additions caused the album to be delayed for a day. The album was made available on July 3. Glover has stated in interviews that on "Sick Boi" and "Poindexter" he felt he had to hide behind gimmicks, such as pink hoodies. But with his subsequent projects, he has touched on more personal subject matter, including family, schoolyard bullying, troubled romantic relationships, suicidal thoughts and alcoholism. He has disowned his 2002 album, The Younger I Get, as the too-raw ramblings of what he calls a "decrepit Drake."

On December 1 2010, Glover released the first track off of his EP titled Be Alone. He released the next track, Freaks And Geeks, as well as a five-song track list, on February 11. On February 25 2011, Donald released the dates for the IAMDONALD tour and also his very first music video for "Freaks and Geeks." The "Freaks and Geeks" music video was shot by Dan Eckman, the director of the DerrickComedy troupe. On March 8, 2011 Donald released his newest EP via his official website.

On May 4, in a new interview with TheHipHopUpdate, Glover revealed that he's currently working on an LP, to be released in September.

Glover also refers to himself as Cheezy, Sir Durton Cloud 9, Ms. Long-Lady Stanhope, Bambini, and Bam-B.

Glover also DJs and produces his own music under the moniker mc DJ. His music is of the electronic/remix variety and is often made available for free download via his official site http://www.childishgambino.blogspot.com/. His current album releases include Love Letter in an Unbreakable Bottle and Utterances of the Heart.

On November 15, CG released his first Major-label album "Camp" including the single "Bonfire"
