Childish GambinoAbout
Gambino conjures a new version of the traditional ‘bogeyman’ used to scare children into behaving. The “boogieman” is a portmanteau explained here. He uses this image to illustrate racial fear in the United States, specifically involving African Americans. The refrain seemingly takes a critical view...
Boogieman Lyrics
[Refrain]
With a gun in your hand
I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
[Verse 1]
If you point a gun at my rising sun
Though we're not the one
But in the bounds of your mind
We have done the crime
[Hook]
Boogieman, you've got to help us, can you?
(Yes, I can)
Boogieman, you've got to help us, can you?
(Yes, I can)
[Refrain]
With a gun in your hand
I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
[Verse 2]
Every boy and girl all around the world
Knows my nigga's words
But if he's scared of me
How can we be free? Yeah
[Hook]
Boogieman, you've got to help us, can you?
(Yes, I can, oh)
Boogieman, you've got to help us, can you?
(Yes, I can, oh)
