1, 2, 3

[Chorus]
I got this money, baby, I wanna spend it with you
I got this Sunday, baby, I wanna spend it with you
We can do what you like, I promise then, I'll be true
I got this money, baby, I wanna spend it on you, oh

[Verse 1]
I don't know where to go, I don't know where to hide
Everywhere that I go, you're right by my side
You're the only girl that I have ever dreamed of
I wanna tell you everything, but everything just seems dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
I really like you, girl, really wanna dress you up
I wanna buy you for real
I really like you, girl, O really wanna feel you up
I wanna feel you for real

[Chorus]
I got this money, baby, I wanna spend it with you
I got this Sunday, baby, I wanna spend it with you
We can do what you like, I promise then, I'll be true, baby
I got this money, baby, I wanna spend it on you, oh

[Verse 2]
I got an upstairs, downstairs in my loft
Check the mixtape, baby, I don't talk
Yes, I run this shit, like it's hard to walk
And you think that I'm dope, like a mound of chalk
I'm recession proof, I work to relax, ho
Weird voice catch beef like a lasso
New fresh prince, you can chill in my castle
Spit real shit, so I must be an asshole, right?
Nah, that's why I'm makin' out in your car
These blogs are a dude's A&R
Got a big tip for these girls at the bar
But I don't mean money
Ever since the money, they just treat me funny
Girls look good, she can take green from me
Ain't trickin' if you got it, know what I mean, buddy?

[Bridge]
You've got your yellow sun dress on
I'm tryna write you the best song
With your Wayfarer shades, you drive me insane
I wanna hold hands, and call you pet names

[Pre-Chorus]
I really like you, girl, really wanna dress you up
I wanna buy you for real
I really like you, girl, I really wanna feel you up
I wanna feel you for real

[Chorus]
I got this money, baby, I wanna spend it with you
I got this Sunday, baby, I wanna spend it with you
We can do what you like, I promise then, I'll be true
I got this money, baby, I wanna spend it on you, oh, oh

[Outro]
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Ohh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
For real
Ohh-ohh-oh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-oh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-oh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-oh-ohh

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.
