To Be Beautiful Song Lyrics
To Be Beautiful by Childish Gambino [Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me tell you something true
[Verse 1]
I remember back when I was six years old
Daddy said the world’s so cold
There is something that you should know, uh
You’re so gorgeous, they said
Nothing’s really worth your time
But someday soon you just might find
The truth about the world’s design, oh
[Chorus]
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can’t change your truth, I can’t get you used to this
No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can’t change the truth, I can’t get you used to this
And I know that, yeah
[Verse 2]
Now remember
You do what the hell you want
But someone’s gonna sell your funk
You’re exactly what they want
To be happy
Really means that someone else ain’t
And that is ain’t the one who claimed
Everything is give and take, oh
[Chorus]
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can’t change your truth, I can’t get you used to this
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can’t change the truth, I can’t get you used to this
And I know
[Break]
Come on do it like this, OK
Left, right, left
Shoulder shake, shoulder shake
Left, right, left
Uh, do it with me now
Now backwards, ayy, ayy
Uh
[Chorus]
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can’t change the truth, I can’t get you used to this
Can’t get you used to this
To be beautiful is to be hunted
I can’t change the truth, I can’t get you used to this
To be beautiful is to be hunted (I know, I said)
I can’t change the truth, I can’t get you used to this
(Bring this thing back)
[Outro]
To be beautiful is to be hunted
We are beautful, yeah
That’s so beautiful
That’s so beautiful
