[Hook: Childish Gambino] Take my hand you'll like it You don't even have to call Yes I've had some alcohol I'm sorry Take my hand You don't even have to call You're somewhere out there after all You're all I ever want-
[Verse 2] Really I should tell you, this here is goodbye I'm leaving this body, but in the next i can't fly. That pistol looks tempting, just get rid of my brain If I can't think anymore, then I can deal with the pain Obsessive think, obsessive drink, I swear I might go insane But you died from my drinking it's only right I'm the same So I'll just mix my glass of tricks and hope my tickets up quick Ain't no mechanic, but I promise this'll be my last fix There's no one to leave behind, because I sent you away They'll find me in a few days, from the smell of decay When they tell my life story, please mention dismay I'm just evening up I gotta end it this way I won't stall any longer, I know I've waited too long Just had to make sure you got this letter at home, so uh... Tell the Lord I'm sorry I'm not stronger But I can't take the pain any longer that's why I'm saying
[Hook: Childish Gambino] Take my hand you'll like it You don't even have to call Yes I've had some alcohol I'm sorry Take my hand You don't even have to call You're somewhere out there after all You're all I ever wanted You're all I ever wanted You're all I ever wanted You're all I ever wanted
