[Intro: Childish Gambino]
Rainbows, sunshine, everywhere we go
Rainbows, sunshine, go

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]
Rainbows, sunshine
Rainbows, sunshine
Rainbows, sunshine, yeah
Rainbows, sunshine

[Bridge: Childish Gambino]
I thought I told you 'bout it (act like you know)
(Act like you know, act like you know)
You don't leave home without it (move that kilo)
(Move that kilo, move that kilo)
She on my back about it (C3PO)
(C3PO, C3PO)
And all the time (act like you know)
Oh oh, yeah (Act like you know, act like you know)

[Verse 1: Childish Gambino]
How could you ever question? They know better to mention
The Budget truck ain't just enough to make her pay attention
The who, what, why and where, they sport the flyest pairs
She got the nicest hair and she know life is better with this nigga
It's crazy how the world look different
It's crazy how the girls look different
The colors and the sounds so vivid
You never catch your boy po-pimpin'
Me sittin' on the sidewalk, now that don't sound right
But as long as I look fly by prom night—go

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]
Rainbows (ho!) sunshine
Rainbows (ho!) sunshine
Rainbows, sunshine, yeah
Rainbows, sunshine

[Interlude]
Jhene Aiko's angelic harmonizing

[Verse 2: Jhene Aiko]
He slangs, his yay, through the corridors
Every day, 20K, yep, at the very least for sure
And they say there's no way
I should stay with someone like you, but I tell them no
There's no way I could stray
Gotta stay with someone like you
'Cause I know one day
You could take me away, far away
I know you could pay
All the money you made, there'll be plenty of sunshine

[Bridge: Childish Gambino]
I never worry 'bout it (act like you know)
(Act like you know, act like you know)
I have my nigga count it (back up them O's)
No, no (back up them O's, back up them O's)
She's dressed up in gold (dressed up in gold)
(C3PO, C3PO)
I'm out of time (act like you know)
Oh, no, no, no (act like you know, act like you know)

[Outro: Childish Gambino]
I'm out of time, oh no no
Out of time, oooh
I'm out of time, out of time
La-la-la, la-la-la (go)

You can call him Donald Glover, Childish Gambino, or just simply talented. Mr. Glover wears many hats when it comes to entertaining; in the last five years alone, he has been highly successful in the paths of acting, rapping, writing, and performing stand-up.

‘Bino has displayed great versatility over his rap career, from the boasting yet muted Culdesac, to the open and vulnerable yet sweet sounds of Camp, and finally to the brash/broken/sullen tour de force that was Because the Internet. He also has released electronic instrumental work under the moniker Mc DJ.

Donald broke a six-year streak of releasing projects in 2015. Instead, he made up for it by directing the FX series Atlanta—where he is also the creator and the lead actor. This role led him to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy. In November 2016, Gambino announced his next LP, “Awaken, My Love!”, which released on December 2nd. His latest effort landed him 5 Grammy nominations in 2018, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year. With two Emmy awards and one Grammy under his belt, he is well on his way to EGOT status.
