[Intro: blackbear]
Yeah
Two, three, four

[Verse 1: blackbear]
I wanna be a champion
I wanna be best friends with Marilyn Manson and
Call my manager and tell him stop managing
Cause all the future plans they may all be cancelling then
I wanna drink so much that I can't stand up from where I'm sitting and
Do so much Coke, Dr. Pepper can't even out sniff me and
Even Santa Claus is just as real as a wrestler
I knew all my presents were in my mom's dresser
So, fuck being famous
I just wanna be hated
Fuck the generation
I just want to be sedated
Fuck being cool
Fuck the whole school
I wanna swim naked
So, I'll be skinny dipping in the summer
With nothing but a gold chain on
Screaming money ain't a thing
Everybody sing!

[Chorus: blackbear]
I'll be hanging from a streetlight
Singing out my favorite song
Singing out my favorite song
I can feel it in the air tonight
I'll be hanging from a streetlight
Singing out my favorite song
Singing out my favorite song
I can feel it in the air tonight

[Verse 2: MOD SUN]
I'm spiking everybody's Kool-Aid
Buy a couple castles and make every bum a roommate
Keep it groovy
On a two way
Living loosely
But for Juicy
In a two bay
And they loving it like who say
Yours truly
Samboozay
Stay tripping like a suitcase
Don't shoot me
Sh-shoot me
Unless it's with your camera
In that case, it's spectacular
I'm seasoned like a calendar
[?] gotta have stamina
They cleaner than a janitor
And I make em say, "Aye," like we in Canada
'Cause I wanna be a champion
I wanna pop pop pop pop
More than Hanson did want to be
I wanna be Morisette than Alanis
Then I wanna spend at least a million bucks on cannabis
Don't wanna never ever ever stop being faded
Always rolling on tongues like R's in the Spanish language
R-rrrreal shit
Bear sing the hook and make them feel the shit!

[Chorus: blackbear]
I'll be hanging from a streetlight
Singing out my favorite song
Singing out my favorite song
I can feel it in the air tonight
I'll be hanging from a streetlight
Singing out my favorite song
Singing out my favorite song
I can feel it in the air tonight

[Outro: blackbear]
I'll be skinny dipping in the summer
With nothing but a gold chain on
Screaming money ain't a thing
Everybody sing!
I'll be skinny dipping in the summer
With nothing but a gold chain on
Screaming money ain't a thing
Everybody sing!

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
