Bonfire Lyrics - Childish Gambino
Okay, it's Childish Gambino, homegirl drop it like the NASDAQ
Move white girls like there's coke up my asscrack
Move black girls cause, man, fuck it, I'll do either
I love pussy, I love bitches, dude, I should be runnin' PETA
In Adidas, with some short shorts, B-O-O all over me
My green is where it's supposed to be, your green is in my grocery
This Asian dude, I stole his girl, and now he got that Kogi beef
My dick is like an accent mark, it's all about the over Es
Hot like a parked car
I sound weird like nigga with hard R
Fly like the logo on my cousin's 440
Eatin' Oreos like these white girls that blow me
Vodka for my ladies, whiskey for a grown man
Hangin' in the islands, lookin' for Earl like Toejam
I made the beat retarded, so I'm callin' it a slow jam
Butcher and I know it, man, kill beef, go ham
These rappers are afraid of him
Cause I'm a beast, bitch, Gir, Invader Zim
Gambino is a call girl, fuck you, pay me
Brand new whip for these niggas like slavery
They told me I was awful man, that shit did not phase me
Tell me how I suck again, my memory is hazy
"You're my favorite rapper, now" Yeah, dude, I better be
Or you can fuckin' kiss my ass, Human Centipede
You wanna see my girl? I ain't that dumb
You wanna see my girl? Check Maxim
"Man, why does every black actor gotta rap some? "
I don't know, all I know is I'm the best one
[Hook:]
It's a bonfire, turn the lights out
I'm burnin' everything you muthafuckas talk about
It's a bonfire, turn the lights out
I'm burnin' everything you muthafuckas talk about
You know these rapper dudes talk shit, start killin'
Fuck that, got goons like an arch-villain
I'm from the South, ain't got no accent, don't know why
So this rap is child's play, I do my name like Princess Di
Yeah, they say they want the realness, rap about my real life
Told me I should just quit: "first of all, you talk white!
Second off, you talk like you haven't given up yet"
Rap's stepfather, yeah, you hate me but you will respect
I put in work, ask Ludwig
Put my soul on the track like shoes did
Played this for my cousin, now he can't even think straight
Black and white music? Now, nigga, that's a mixtape
Shoutout to my blerds, they represent the realness
Shoutout to Gambino, girls, my dick is in the building
I know you hate me cause your little cousin play me
And I like black girls who nerdy, but when they dance they be sayin' "Owww"
I'm sorry for who followed me
Chillin' with a Filipina, at your local Jollibee
Yeah, I'm in her ass like sodomy
So if you see my hand under the table, don't bother me
I don't talk soft, that's that other guy
I'm screamin "What the fuck is up? " like I ain't seen the sky
And shit I'm doin' this year? Insanity
Made the beat then murdered it, Casey Anthony
These rappers don't know what to do
Cause all I did was act me like a Looney Tune
And I'll give you all of me until there's nothing left
I swear this summer will be summer camp, bitch!
Move white girls like there's coke up my asscrack
Move black girls cause, man, fuck it, I'll do either
I love pussy, I love bitches, dude, I should be runnin' PETA
In Adidas, with some short shorts, B-O-O all over me
My green is where it's supposed to be, your green is in my grocery
This Asian dude, I stole his girl, and now he got that Kogi beef
My dick is like an accent mark, it's all about the over Es

Donald Glover's rap alter-ego, Childish Gambino, has quickly gained a large fan base by "making rap music for [those] white kids" (as he raps on "You Know Me") with the use of indie-pop samples and lyrics referencing The Office and Tina Fey.
He has released three albums, two mixtapes and an EP all for free over the past couple of years before going on his I AM DONALD Tour this past spring. Show after show was sold out, with fans begging for new material.
Well, their wish is finally coming true. After signing to Glassnote Music (home to Mumford & Sons, Phoenix and Givers) a few weeks ago, his much anticipated Camp album received a Nov. 15 release date. Bootleg videos of Childish performing new songs at his Rock the Bells performance or an impromptu gig at the Bowery Poetry Club in Williamsburg last week left fans wondering when the first single would be released.
After releasing a snippet of "Bonfire," Childish told his fans to tune into NYC's Hot 97 last Friday to hear the debut of the song, where it was announced that the track would be released on Sept. 20 for download. Though it was an edited version, the first for one of the rapper's songs, it was the first time hearing the studio version of a song from Camp.
Early this morning, Childish Gambino released the artwork for the single and is streaming the unedited album version on his site. At the time of this writing, the track has surpassed 7,200 plays.
In support of the album, he also announced a "pre-tour" that will take place throughout October and November.
