Childish Gambino - Atavista Lyrics

As we stand together
Promise me
That we'll teach the children
That we must be free
There is no joy in sorrow
No truth untold
And the cruel among us
Are tired and old
Mother infinity
Why do you go, away from me?
Do you feel me?
Do you see me?
A voice keeps on telling me
That we've got to be
That we have to be
Free

You think I'm crazy, but I'm higher all the time
This life is something that is more than a lie
And every day I wake, my life is on the line
You know I've got to keep on moving, yeah

There are beasts untamed
Who will eat the young
And you'll become the same
If you stay too long

If the drug is faint
Then the high is low
Atavista, atavista
Atavista

You think I'm crazy, but I'm higher all the time
This life is something that is more than a lie
And every day I wake, my life is on the line
You know I've got to keep on moving, yeah

The game we play ain't fair, but play it, do we dare?
But people do they care? 'Bout what's happening?
Now you can have your cake if it's all you need
And what can you do? There are mouths to feed

And it's not insane
If we all believe
Atavista, atavista
Atavista
