About This Track

'Sometimes' by Danger Mouse is a 2022 track built around a warning that love can turn “real dangerous”. The lyrics move between vivid, name-checking imagery and an address to specific places, with one voice treating it like a lesson, and another offering a more rhythmic, communal chant. The verses invoke the idea of captivity and scheming, while the imagery pivots to scenes of style and city pride, culminating in a hand-clapping call that keeps pulling the song back towards collective feeling.

"Sometimes" is a track by Danger Mouse, released 12th August 2022. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Danger Mouse.

Lyrics

Sometimes

[Intro: Gwen McCrae]

Oh, sometimes, sometimes, it get real dangerous, y'all

It get real dangerous, y'all

Havin' one love

[Verse: Black Thought]

Prisoners of Azkaban, thinkin' of a master plan

Images of grandeur by Jamel Shabazz, Dapper Dan

Clap your hands whether you in Paterson or Pakistan

Richard Wright, black boy that grew into a blacker man

Early African or European, which was more supreme

The visions vary, this shit get scary, inform your team

My dignitary consigliere is Nora Dean

My skin tone is aubergine, I'm a war machine

A sinner who's casted all the stones he can managе

But with a home team advantage, most pеople don't see the damage

Guess I'm gon' need a bandage if we plan to be companions

Drum solos from the hammers be mimicking speaking Spanish

They vanish like Atlantis, come to find out they've been banished

Performing for the cameras and abandoning their manners

For lies that intertwine like a violet vine

I threw the rhyme book straight into the fire this time

I'm thinking

[Outro: Gwen McCrae]

Oh, sometimes, sometimes, it gets real dangerous, y'all

It gets real dangerous, y'all

Havin' one love
