In the haunting echoes of "Boogieman," Childish Gambino explores the chilling reality of racial profiling and societal fears. Through metaphorical lyrics, he portrays himself as the 'boogieman'—a figure misunderstood and feared due to prejudice. The gun, a symbol of defense against perceived threats, highlights the tragic irony where those meant to protect become aggressors out of fear. This song is a poignant reminder of the need for empathy and understanding in a world quick to judge based on skin color rather than character. Gambino's call for help isn't just a plea; it's a demand for change in perceptions, urging us to confront our own biases and dismantle the real horrors of inequality. #RacialProfiling #SocietalFear #Change
Boogieman
Lyrics
With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
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, yeah
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? (Yes I can)
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? (Yes I can)
With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get you
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? Yes
Boogieman (yes)
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)
(Boogieman)
(Boogieman)
