lyrics

Hey baby take the keys
It’s the safest way to get around
Even when we are together
That’s why your hands should be on the wheel
You head off to work without thinking twice
Without any fear without any plan
Without worry of being a murdered citizen
Go ahead take the keys

Hey baby take the keys
You won’t get detained for melanin
You can even pass the limit
So many of you do every day
You head off to work without thinking twice
Without any fear without any plan
Without knowing innocence ain’t never any shield
Go ahead take the keys

Hey baby take the keys
It doesn’t matter that I’m sober
They only want me on my knees

Hey baby take the keys
Their twisted triumph in the trigger
They only want to hear my pleas

Hey baby take the keys
It’s safer for us both
