Lyrics
What are you looking at me for?
You called me dangerous
And if you wanna tell me something
You tell me what’s wrong with us
I had my back to the water
baptized me till I was brand new
You beat me like I was black and blue
What are you looking at me for?
You called me dangerous
And if you wanna tell me something
Tell me how you gonna get rid of us
Oh daddy, I was just fine till you had to come around, now I’m ashamed
I was just fine till you had to come around now I’m to blame
You see me walking down the street
Wearing my bright and colorful clothes
I wake up in the morning with the intention of feeling glorious
Out of the corner of my eye I see a wild flower rise
I’m thinking to myself, “you’re so dangerous”
Mama came out of the house screaming,
“How can they keep killing us?”
“They took my baby away”
This world his grave, my heart is his shrine you know
What are you looking at him for?
Don't you dare call him dangerous
Sweet kid with a sweet tooth
Sweetheart, you can’t get rid of us
No matter how Michael Brown we are
You can’t get rid of us
I said daddy, I was just fine till you had to come around, now I’m ashamed
I was just fine till you had to come around now I’m to blame
You see me walking down the street, all smile, all melanin skinned
I wake up in the morning wondering, “will they know how dangerous?”
I said daddy, I was just fine till you had to come around, now I’m ashamed
I was just fine till you had to come around, now I’m to blame
You see me walking down the street
Wearing my bright and colorful clothes
I wake up in the morning with the intention of feeling glorious
Out of the corner of my eye I see a wild flower rise
I’m thinking to myself
