Boys on the Block Lyrics by Amir Royale

Atmospheric

2017

[Intro: Childish Gambino]
Situations will arise in our lives
But you gotta be smart about it
Celebrations with the guys, I sacrifice
Cause you could not sleep without it
Girl I—cause I loved you
You were my girl
See I—thought the world of you
But so you know
I—cause I loved you
You were my girl
See I—cause I loved you
You were my girl
[Verse 1: Amir Royale]
Boys on the block are either getting their blocks shot
Or their shots blocked, they all suicidal
In the gym, in the streets—it doesn't really matter
They just living trademark lives from what Pac dropped
In his last album, it's sad
I saw him and Trav are so synonymous
Anonymous loves from behind the art
Who got conscious of stuff that were going on
In their daily lives that shouldn't have been
But you? Where the hell you been huh?
(Cause I love you) You know, cause—
I mean I'm still tryna figure me out but you?
(You were my girl) So you should stop playing around
And playing around with your heart
(Cause I love you) I'll still love you regardless
But, with all this money coming in right now
I'm tryna keep my fam alive in the 8 Mile of our stereotype
(Just so you know) Know what I mean?
[Bridge: Amir Royale, (Travis Raeburn) & Childish Gambino]
You don't have to call baby no, no
Come join us when you ready for it
Cause I’mma be alright tonight
Alright? It's winter time—and this just the warm up
You don't have to call baby no, no
Come by the fire babygirl
Cause I’mma be alright tonight
TravRae… (Yeah, I got your call—I was gon’ text you)
Situations
[Verse 2: Travis Raeburn]
I wrote a whole soliloquy to a Tiller beat
I pressed my thumb on the screen so it delete
You’ll never get this poetry sent subliminally
I cheat, but when I do it's discrete—can't catch me
I had a twin, but I caught a vid of you
And I saved it on my phone (Word?)
Wasn’t it wrong? (Nah)
Could've collaborated my knee with your partners dome
But in this life you are all alone
Get her out your zone, you a good soul
Sit'cho self down (Cause I love you)
Even though it hurts to get grown
With this young girl under your pillow and swirl
(You were my girl) Kill your referral
Cursed emotions, motivate all my motions
Toxic and potent (Cause I love you)
I'm convinced the scent tastes good
To make sense, to make truth off my chest
(Just so you know) Fuck it I guess, decision is best
[Outro: Travis Raeburn & Amir Royale]
Take my heart out my vest—I say it less
So tonight, I’m in another stratosphere
And you’re not welcome in here
What happens when there’s moonlight?
I’mma be alright, looking at this moonlight
(It look good) And I’mma do it outta spite
What happens when there’s sunshine?
That young girl, she gon’ do it outta spite
What happens when there’s moonlight?
Sorry, it feels right...
