[Verse 1]
She was born in September of '69
And the summer of lovers ended that night
So since day one she was in over drive
Always looking for lovin' she couldn't find
[Pre-Chorus]
Every preacher told her she's a sinner
'Cause she moved ahead of her time
While taking her mama's money claiming it'd save her life
[Chorus]
Baby was a dancer
Two step her way to Heaven
Baby was a dancer
She was born to be a legеnd
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
[Verse 2]
She studiеd the classics like Balanchine
And moved to the future like Billie Jean
A certified trophy, a disco queen
A high kicking hustler on the streets
[Pre-Chorus]
Every teacher told her she won’t make it
'Cause she moved ahead of her time
While taking his mama's money tryna save his life
[Chorus]
Baby was a dancer
Two step her way to Heaven
Baby was a dancer
She was born to be a legend
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
[Bridge]
She was prepared for a life that would never be easy
But no one could stop her from dancing all over the ceiling (Woo)
[Chorus]
Baby was a dancer
Two step her way to Heaven
Baby was a dancer
She was born to be a legend
[Post-Chorus]
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)
Baby, baby was a dancer (Woo)

‘Baby Was a Dancer’ is me, in the third person, telling the story of the trajectory of leaning into my authenticity. Growing up queer, growing up Black, growing up in the church, there was a lot of pushback in terms of my authenticity. To talk about yourself, to have the language and the audacity to...
