10 Songs By Childish Gambino You've Been Sleeping On

10. That Power

There's no denying that Donald has worked incredibly hard to get to where he is today. It took five years of self-releasing mixtapes before he found sucess with EP in 2011. Later that same year he released Camp and proved to everyone just how talented an artist he is. While some of the album's lyrical content has aged poorly, the debut is full of amazing gems from a less tame version of Childish Gambino.

A perfect example of this would have to be That Power. The exit track attempts to put to bed any criticism against him, challenging his haters and asking what have they done with their lives. The hook is so incredibly catchy and the lyrical flows are some of his best work, but that's not all you're missing out on if you haven't heard this track.

The song transitions into a peaceful loop and listeners are treated to a short story read by Glover. It's an idea he would revisit on Kauai, but more on that later. The tale is of summer love and the lessons that come along with it. It's such a moving piece to finish the album on and offers up a fantastic transition between Camp and Because the Internet.
