Do you think she'll notice
That I'm a wreck again
Do you think she'd notice
That I've lost a new pair
Of boots
Do you think she'll notice
How I felt in bed again
I guess it's nothing new
'Cause nobody's listening
It's like giants falling
Down
Do you think I noticed
That she came in late
Again
Do you think I noticed
She's wearing a new
Perfume
Do you think I noticed
How she wore her hair
Today
She said it's nothing new
'Cause nobody's listening
It's like giants falling
as i woke this morning
the sun gone without warning
giants without hearts were coming closer
walking through the river
I could only stand and shiver
in an abyss where life once was
our world is getting smaller
while their walls grow taller
spider monkeys cling to falling
trees as the water rises higher
ten thousand years
shall drownI'm so tired of running away
I think I'll put on my war paint
and take a stand where others
have before
giants without hearts
are coming closer
What if all we were told
Wasn't what it's all about?
Would it be earth shattering our lives filled without?
Sentiment points to faith and a reason to believe
Rest assured without detail, we follow never lead
There were giants, standing over all
On their shoulders, we have strayed for too long
Giants, giants giants
We have strayed for too long
Ideals deemed
Written in stone a long time ago
Who were they to question?
Who were they to know?
In their stride the cracks grow wide
Foundations shift and moan
Ideas now conventional
Once never known
They were giants, standing over all
On these shoulders, we have stayed for too long
Giants, giants giants
We have strayed for too long
Giants, giants, giants
We have strayed for too long
Too long, too long...
They were giants, standing over all
On these shoulders, we have stayed for too long
Giants, giants giants
We have strayed for too long
Giants, giants, giants
We have strayed for too long
Too long, too long...
Strong and invincible, they know every rule,
Seems inconceivable anything they do.
They made us their slaves - we weren't unified,
Ever since we paid for selling our lives.
Someday, someway, I may see a wonderland,
Don't you, won't you say that we'll be free again.
Deprived of our consciousness, we can't predict what's more,
Can you remember how things used to be before ?
I secretly dream of things we will be taught,
Will someone esteem for those who have fought ?
Someday, someway, I may see a wonderland,
Don't you, won't you say that we'll be free again.
Strong and invincible, they know every rule,
Seems inconceivable anything they do.
Deep in our hearts we hope our dreams come true,
The only thing is "What are we to do ?"
Someday, someway, I may see a wonderland,
Don't you, won't you say that we'll be free again.
Won't you say it ... Can't you feel it .. ?
Strong and invincible
They know every rule
Seems inconcievable
Anything they do
They made us their slaves
We weren't unified
Ever since we paid
For selling our lives
Someday, someway, I may see a wonderland
Don't you, won't you say that we''ll be free again
Deprived of our consciousness
We can't predict what's more
Can you remember how
Things used to be before?
I secretly dream
Of things we will be taught
Will someone esteem
For those who have fought?
Strong and invincible
They know every rule
Seems inconcievable
Anything they do
Deep in our hearts
We hope our dreams come true
The only thing is
What are we to do?
Won't you say it...
Just give a little twist, little turn,
Keep on looking in the right direction, baby.
I'm alive with the lights with the lies,
But i kept on building it, stack it up,
Little architect you're crazy,
White shirt, black dress tie, dressed to the nine times too many times.
I couldn't wait to get out of the night life,
It's a straight lie.
Just calm down,
The trauma's on the inside,
My line's been drawn.
Just calm down,
The trauma's on the inside,
I don't want to be wasting time.
Wasting time.
Do you think that you'd call it crazy?
Contrary, and I shine amazing,
Aging process called it quits,
And the quicksand I trudged through and everything I meant to
Say so, so said the young ones, the dumb ones,
And "stupid" you called it, but I called it flawless.
Played out and fade out,
I planned it - pan left and right, set the curtain.
Just calm down,
The trauma's on the inside,
My line's been drawn.
Just calm down,
You know the trauma's on the inside,
I don't want to.
My ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah!"
Oh god, I think I've really changed,
But she will love me all the same.
My dear, it's all for you,
And I will pay my dues,
Cause I owe you some eight years,
And it's coming to you.
I wish you could buckle up and take a chance,
You know I really do, and you really do.
And you really, really do - whoah
Just come along, come along.
Don't say, "calm down" and "don't quit this town",
I left 'cause I was bored,
And what might be in store.
Don't make a sound,
'Cause I'll be 'round.
Just calm down,
The trauma's on the inside,
My line's been drawn.
Just calm down,
You know the trauma's on the inside,
I don't want to.
Why, oh why, do eyes collide,
Why won't it feel the same, oh why oh?
Wonderstands.
Why, oh why,
If words are right,
Why won't it feel the same oh, why oh?
So now I won't play games, and I won't change, no.
Just calm down,
You know the trauma's on the inside,
I don't want to.
Just calm down,
You know the trauma's on the inside,
I don't want to.
My ticket, my destination, singing "hallelujah!"
Oh god, I think I've really changed,
But she will love me all the same.
My dear, it's all for you,
And I will pay my dues,
Cause I owe you some eight years,
And it's coming to you.
My dream and now I'm getting out,
I'm screaming, "Hallelujah",
Today's the day my life will change,
It couldn't make it all the same.
Darling, it's all for you, and I will pay my dues.
I'm counting 4, 3, 2, 1.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah.
I've left town, and I won't come home.
Ohio, I don't know, Michigindiana, California,
Where's home?
Sacred hall, eternal might
Endless fame, see the golden light
Son of the dark, Goddess of youth
Sacrifice her and pay the price
Forever, you'll be guilty
Forever, you'll be free
Forever, you'll be strong
Forever, you will live in peace
Giants
Giants
Giants
But in the light of day, pay us penance
Instead of the Goddess, we'll have the ring
Brother take heed, don't be greedy
The gold, the treasure is mine forever
I have slain my brother
'Cause we hate each other
I have changed my face
To the dragon's race
Giants
Giants
Giants
Giants
Giants
Giants
Forever, you'll be guilty
Forever, you'll be free
Forever, you'll be strong
Forever, you will live in peace

Giants, giants, giants
We have strayed for too long
be on your guard when you sit in the open places
because i'm blessed with all the wonders of the sun
when tigers, palmtrees, rattlesnakes unfold their graces
that kind of magic you may get a sunburn from
and there's no better way for us than our old sweet ways
and angels burn to dust before the human race
we're giants under a rainbow
we're stranded east of eden
sometimes we're crying in the afterglow
in a world of broken toys, how can we live without them
freedom that is what you are always screaming
it is a scream but more a nightmare than a laugh
those without faith are liars even when they're dreaming
i'd put my faith in god if he knew how to dance
but there's no devil in the darkness, no demon in the skies
nothing to be afraid of, cross my heart and hope to die
freedom...
Giants do die
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Giants they die
Just walk around the Jericho Wall
Now we come in Your name
And we stand on Your Word
What is loosed in the heavens
Will be loosed on Earth
Now we come in Your name
And we stand on Your Word
What is loosed in the heavens
Will be loosed on Earth
Let God arise, Giants die!

Your praise will bring down stronghold
When you praise, you will see miracles
Just pray when things seem impossible
And the King of Glory
Will show His Glory
Let God arise, Giants die!
Giants, do die
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Giants they die
Just walk around the Jericho Wall
Now we come in Your name

Donald McKinley Glover[1] (born September 25, 1983) is an American actor, writer, comedian, and musician. Glover first came to attention for his work with Derrick Comedy. He is best known for being a writer for 30 Rock, and for his role as college student Troy Barnes on the NBC comedy series Community. In 2011, Glover signed to Glassnote Records under the stage name Childish Gambino; his first studio album, Camp, was released on November 15, 2011.

Glover was born on September 25, 1983 on Edwards Air Force Base, California[2] to parents Beverly and Donald Sr. and raised as a Jehovah's Witness in Stone Mountain, Georgia.[3] Contrary to a persistent rumor, he is not related to actor Danny Glover.[4] In addition to a biological brother and sister, Glover grew up alongside foster children taken in by his parents.[3] Glover attended Rockbridge Elementary School and DeKalb School of the Arts before studying at New York University, graduating with a degree in Dramatic Writing in 2006.[5]
Glover is known for his work on the NBC show Community with Joel McHale and Chevy Chase. Glover was a writer for the NBC series 30 Rock from 2006 to 2009, where he also had an occasional cameo appearance. He was presented the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Candace Comedy Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the third season of 30 Rock.[6]
In 2008, rumors surfaced that Glover was to become a cast member of Saturday Night Live and that he would portray Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Glover denied the SNL rumors on his Facebook profile, stating, "Just to let people know. I was NOT asked to SNL. I just auditioned and there's been a rumor spreading around the web. Just trying to clear the air."[7]
Glover's stand-up special aired on Comedy Central on March 19, 2010.
In May 2010, Glover started a campaign on Twitter to be allowed to audition for the role of Peter Parker in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man film, encouraging his supporters to retweet the hashtag "#donald4spiderman".[8] The campaign, originally started to see how far social networking could carry a message, quickly gained a large following.[9] The call for Glover to be allowed to audition for the role was supported by Spider-Man creator Stan Lee.[10] Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis, who announced an African-American version of Spider-Man a year later, said he had conceived of the character before Glover's campaign went viral.[11] Bendis gave credit to Glover for influencing the new hero's looks; on seeing him dressed as Spider-Man on Community (a nod to the campaign) Bendis said, "I saw him in the costume and thought, 'I would like to read that book.'".[12]
In June 2010, it was announced that Glover would receive the Rising Comedy Star award at the Just for Laughs festival in July.[13]
Glover was featured in Gap's 2010 Holiday ad campaign.
On March 16, 2011, Glover hosted the mtvU Woodie Awards held live at South By Southwest.
On March 24, 2011, Glover taped his one hour comedy special Weirdo for Comedy Central; it aired on November 19.[14][15]
Donald appeared at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music Festival on June 9 in the 'This Tent' as Childish Gambino and June 11 at 'The Comedy Theater' with Bill Bailey performing stand up. Comedy Central streamed the comedy live on their website.[16]
Glover is a member of the sketch comedy group Derrick Comedy, along with Dominic Dierkes, Meggie McFadden, DC Pierson, and Dan Eckman. Derrick's YouTube videos gained the group nationwide attention[citation needed] and have contributed to Donald Glover's recognition, as well as his newfound success in the television business. The group wrote and starred in a feature-length film, Mystery Team, released in theaters in 2009.
In January 2012, Donald made a cameo as himself in the YouTube webseries (Episode 12) "The Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl". He was on the show to meet the main character who is a big fan of Donald Glover and was taken backstage at one of his concerts.[17]
Donald Glover DJs and produces his own music under the moniker "mcDJ". His music is of the electronic/remix variety and is often made available for free download via his official site. His current album releases include Love Letter in an Unbreakable Bottle and Utterances of the Heart.
Glover raps and performs under the stage name Childish Gambino,[18] a name he found from a Wu-Tang Clan name generator.[19] He released an album entitled Sick Boi on June 5, 2008. On September 17, 2009, Childish 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. The track listings for those albums consist of the name of the song "he" raps, followed by the song he raps over. 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.[20] 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 2005[21] 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, 2011. On February 25, Donald released the dates for the IAMDONALD tour and also his very first music video for "Freaks and Geeks".[22] The music video was shot by Dan Eckman, the director of the DerrickComedy troupe. This song would later be used in an Adidas commercial featuring Dwight Howard which brought the song, and Donald, more recognition. On March 8, 2011 Donald released his newest EP via his official website.[23]
On May 4, 2011, in an interview with TheHipHopUpdate, Glover revealed that he was working on an LP, to be released in September.[24]
During the weekend of the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, Donald performed with his band and his DJ, SoSuperSam, at the House of Blues in San Diego.[25] Donald performed a new song from his LP and explained why he had not used Twitter or Tumblr in a while.[26]
On July 25, 2011, Donald Glover announced that his new album would be entitled Camp. On October 8, 2011, during his Orlando concert, he announced Camp would be released on November 15, 2011.
On August 20, 2011, at the Los Angeles Rock The Bells concert, he gave an interview to allhiphop.com, and announced to the crowd that he had signed with Glassnote Records.[27] This means that his music will be published onto physical media for the first time including cds and vinyl.
In September 2011, Childish Gambino played at the BruinBash festival at UCLA. On September 20, he released his first official single, "Bonfire". It received much praise on blogs and music message boards.[citation needed]
On November 15, 2011, he performed "Heartbeat" from his album Camp on Conan.
On January 11, 2012, Childish Gambino announced on his website that a new mixtape would be coming out soon. Pictures of Stone Mountain appear to be the cover for his mixtape. On April 2, he released a new song, "Eat Your Vegetables", through his website IAmDonald.com. He said that he has recorded 25 songs for the mixtape and that it will be released "extremely soon." Because of his frequent use of the word on his site and Twitter account, many believe the new mixtape will be titled "Royalty". This was later cleared up by Donald on the BET show, 106 & Park, on May 1, where he stated that "Royalty" was just the name he gave to the group of his friends/musicians that he travels and performs with. On May 14, Funkmaster Flex premiered "Unnecessary", featuring Schoolboy Q. On May 16, Gambino released an untitled track (dubbed "We Ain't Them" by fans) through his website, produced by himself and frequent collaborator Ludwig. On May 22, Donald appeared on Das Racist's radio show "Chillin' Island" where he premiered a new song, "Tell Me", which featured Himanshu Suri, aka Heems from Das Racist. On May 26, Donald released another untitled track (dubbed "Black Faces" by fans) through his website, featuring Nipsey Hussle and produced by Boi-1da. On May 30, he released a third track through his website which he named "Silk Pillow" (via his Twitter account), featuring Beck and produced by both Glover and Beck.
The IAMDONALD tour made 23 stops in 33 days, beginning with Ames, IA on April 16, and finishing with Minneapolis, MN on May 19. In between, this included performances in music venues in cities such as Las Vegas, Houston, Washington, and Atlanta. The tour's shows in New York at the Bowery Ballroom on May 10, and in Brooklyn at Williamsburg Music Hall on May 14, both sold out in three hours after tickets were released on March 4.[3]
The Sign-Up Tour was Donald's next pre-tour. He visited 11 cities over the course of 38 days in October and November 2011.[28]
Donald's next tour will be nationwide. He made a website for the tour called "Camp Gambino" on November 19, four days after his album released.[29] The tour will also feature special guest Danny Brown. The tour will make 20 stops during the course of 32 days along a dates in California in December.[30] As reported on his website on March 14, 2012, several dates on the CAMP tour have been postponed due to a fractured foot Donald Glover suffered on March 10, while performing in Tampa, Florida. The tour will now begin in Austin, Texas on April 5 and end August 3 in Detroit, Michigan.
