Well would you look at that! In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe says she is a big fan of Childish Gambino, and she shared her love for Camp’s opening track, “Outside”.
It’s about how he had a dream, and everyone else is afraid to move outside of the box of their neighborhood or their family. I was on the outside of Brooklyn, where I’m from, that same way. I saw more of the world than everyone else did.

Hipster Childish Gambino
…from Camp
I used to dream every night, now I never dream at all
I’m hopin’ that it’s ‘cause I’m livin’ everything I want
I used to wake up in a bed between my mom and aunt
Playin’ with this Land Before Time toy from Pizza Hut
My dad works night, puttin’ on a stone face
He’s savin’ up so we can get our own place
In the projects, man, that sound fancy to me
They call me “fat nose,” my mom say, “you handsome to me”
“Mrs. Glover, ma’am, your son is so advanced
But he’s actin’ up in class and keeps peein’ in his pants”
And I just wanna fit in, but nobody was helpin’ me out
They talkin’ hood shit and I ain’t know what that was about
‘Cause hood shit and black shit is super different
So I’m talkin’ hood shit and cooler now like New Edition
Mom and Dad wouldn’t listen, they left the Bronx so I wouldn’t be dat
All their friends in NY deal crack
It’s weird, you think that’d be proud of ‘em
But when you leave the hood they think that you look down on ‘em
The truth is we still struggle on different plains
Seven dollars an hour, WIC vouchers, it’s all the same
Facebook messagin’, hopin’ that can patch up shit
But all they get now is “Can your son read this script?”
There’s a world we can visit if we go outside
Outside, outside
We can follow the road
There’s a world we can visit if we go outside
Outside, outside
No one knows
There’s a world, there’s a world if we go outside
Outside, outside
We can follow the road
There’s a world, there’s a world if we go outside
Outside, outside
No one knows
Dad lost his job, Mama work at Mrs. Winner’s
Gun pulled in her face, she still made dinner
“Donald, watch the meter so they don’t turn the lights off”
Workin’ two jobs so I can get into that white school
And I hate it there
They all make fun of my clothes and wanna touch my hair
And my uncle on that stuff that got my grandma shook
Drug dealers roughed him up and stole his address book
He’s supposed to pay ‘em back
He owe ‘em money but his bank account is zero
So my momma made us sleep with Phillips-heads under the pillow
Like that would do somethin’
But she got six kids, she gotta do somethin’
She don’t want me in a lifestyle like my cousin
And he mad ‘cause his father ain’t around
He lookin’ at me now, like, “Why you so fuckin’ lucky?
I had a father, too
But he ain’t around so I’mma take it out on you”
We used to say “I love you,” now we only think that shit
It feels weird that you’re the person I took sink baths with
Street took ya over, I want my cousin back
The world’s sayin’ what you are because you’re young and black
Don’t believe ‘em
You’re still that kid who kept the older boys from teasin’
For some reason
There’s a world we can visit if we go outside
Outside, outside
We can follow the road
There’s a world we can visit if we go outside
Outside, outside
No one knows
There’s a world, there’s a world if we go outside
Outside, outside
We can follow the road
There’s a world, there’s a world if we go outside
Outside, outside
No one knows
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
