      I got punched by a caretaker in Holland. Nobody is doing a damn thing. If this was in the UK it'd be all over the news.
      I'm making plans to move back to the UK despite having tried giving this country a chance for 18 years straight.
      I have never been happy here. The Dutch economy is based on greed and screwing eachother over and nobody has heard of sharing in this country and the police will advise you to never file a report for any crime you report this is HELL

    Anyone else notice how he alluded to his three biggest albums
    3:32 - CAMP - Synth leads and gospel choir.
    4:15 - Because The Internet - Spacey tech influenced electronica with a dark feeling.
    4:42 - Kauai - His own singing, natural instrumentation guitar, clapping, and bongos.

    When the sun is rising over streets so barren
    Since the evening, colors flash before my eyes
    I feel like a child, so young and new in '92, I listen
    To what my father said
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong you cannot fall
    There is a voice inside us all
    So smile when you can
    When you can
    How this used to feel so far and free
    Now these broken souls are all I see
    Fists have fallen to our side
    We may cry alone, I feel we know where all of this is headed
    But my mama said
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall (oh I, nah, nah, nah)
    If you are strong you cannot fall (if you are strong)
    There is a voice inside us all
    So smile when you can
    When you can
    If you cannot, oh!
    There is more to you and me
    There is more than they can see
    I'm on your side
    Woo, oh!
    There is more out there
    And somebody cares 'bout you
    I do
    Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong you cannot fall
    Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
    If you are strong you cannot fall
    Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
    If you are strong you cannot fall
    Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
    If you are strong you cannot fall
    There is more out there
    Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall
    If you are strong you cannot fall
    Give me morning
    When you're gone to yourself
    Woo!
    Yeah!
    (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall)
    If you are strong you cannot fall)
    (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall)

    One of the most important things about this album is adaptability. If you came to this because you are a fan of his rap, this isn't for you. It's not your genre. You must adapt to different sounds.
    This is really good for it's genre, but if you don't listen to music like this, this album won't sound that good to you. I like it, although I personally like his rapping more. I love his style of singing and I wish more of the Me And Your Mama voice shone through. Additionally, I wish he used his real voice more like he did here, where I can hear him clear.
    I'm sure Genius is hard at work decoding every last lyric of this project, and I can't wait to find out more. I would love an album from him where he mixes hip hop into this style he has now, but that's just a dream. His last album had a great story to it, and I would love that as well.
    I'm not a critic and can't really judge something like this, but I'd I had to give it a number score, 8.5/10. Hopefully, this isn't Gambino's last project. Until something new happens, I'm gonna continue watching Atlanta.

    Verse 1]
    When the sun is rising over streets so barren
    Since the evening, colors flash before my eyes
    I feel like a child, so young and new in '92
    I listened to what my father said
    [Chorus]
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    There is a voice inside us all
    So smile when you can, when you can
    [Verse 2]
    How this used to feel so far and free
    Now these broken souls are all I see
    Fists have fallen to our side
    We may cry alone, I feel we know where all of this is headed
    But my mama said
    [Chorus]
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    Oh I, nah, nah, nah
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    If you are strong, oh no
    There is a voice inside us all
    So smile when you can, when you can
    [Verse 3]
    If you cannot, oh!
    There is more to you and me
    There is more than they can see
    I'm on your side, woo, oh
    There is more out there
    And somebody cares 'bout you
    I do
    [Interlude]
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    There is more out there
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    [Outro]
    Oh!
    Give me a moment, oh, oh, oh
    When they're gone, keep to yourself
    Oh, oh, woo, oh, ooh, yeah!
    Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    Oh! Oh!
    Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall
    (Thanks for doing that, thank you)
    Oh! Oh!
    (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall
    If you are strong, you cannot fall)
    Ooh! Oh!

    What's interesting about this song's ending is at Pharos, it never went back to instruments and Gambino singing like it does here, with that groovy, warm feel. It continues the spooky space sound (without flutes this time) with cool effects and it gets even crazier and louder, ending on a trippy warping sound and fading.

    His bringing together of two completely different musical devices juxtapose for emphasis on the idea he is trying to get across.

      Raurlone I didn't say the genre was standard I said that the album outside of the songs I listed were standard funkadelic songs.

      Nashville X sorry its standard funkadelic. it just is. its good music but really nothing new its just going back to something that's been done. people treat this like its innovative its just funkadelic lol now the songs I listed are way above your average funk music
