Like Them

[Intro] [Verse 1] I will kill you Said the five-year-old As he left his knives At the school gate So I took her home Locked all the doors I'll teach you here About boys like that [Chorus] Please don’t go and turn out like them Please don't go and grow up like that [Verse 2] I could walk to school All on my own No tag in my leg No cell phone I was not afraid I was weaponless But now I keep a knife Just in case [Chorus] Please don't go and turn out like them Please don’t go and turn out like them Please don't go and turn out like them [Interlude] [Verse 3] I can't take photographs You make me guilty Watching my kids in the swimming pool I will kill you if you touch them I don't care if it's your parent's fault I'm sick of being the light all the time Watching my P's and Q’s all the time I’m sick of being polite [Chorus] Please don't go and turn out like them (Please don’t go and turn out like them) Please don't go and turn out like them (Please don't go and turn out like them) Please don't go and turn out like them (Please don’t go and turn out like them) [Verse 4] I will love you despite everything Make you feel safe at any cost I will drag you back from the building And give you back what you have lost (Give you back what you have lost) Give you back what you have lost (Give you back what you have lost) Give you back what you have lost (Make you safe at any cost) Give you back what you have lost [Outro]
