Dangerous

Momma said don't go to far down the street

Cause boy it's dangerous

But I was having fun

I heard the truck and wanted to get ice cream

So I chased him down

And I don't know why

But I got lost

Now I'm stranded in a land that's so scary

The hyenas surround me

Little cub you should go home

I feel like I'm still that little boy

Oh yeah, 'cause it's dangerous

Dangerous

Oh yeah it's dangerous

Dangerous out there

Yeah it's dangerous

Dangerous oh yeah

It's dangerous

Dangerous out there

I became a target at thirteen

Good ole days were gone

My innocence was gone

Because of my skin

I was born with some enemies

And they'll take me out by any means, oh

So I cried, I cried

Momma said they don't care about your wellbeing

They don't wanna be your friend

Stay strong 'cause now you're a man

But stay young while you still can

My number one contradiction

That's why it's dangerous

Dangerous

Oh yeah it's dangerous

Dangerous out there

Yeah it's dangerous

Dangerous oh yeah

It's dangerous

Dangerous out there

Oh yeah

I used to be afraid of the danger 'til I realized I'm dangerous (I'm dangerous)

They try to keep us down and oppressed because they're really afraid of us (I'm dangerous)

If anyone got problems about me man I'm willing to bang it up (oh yeah)

Cause everything I do in my black skin is coming from a place of love (that's dangerous)

My ancestors told me don't you worry

We're watching over you because you're worthy

If I could go back in time

I'd tell that young Black boy to spread his wings and fly

Cause boy you dangerous

Dangerous

Oh yeah it's dangerous

It's dangerous out there

Yeah it's dangerous

Dangerous oh yeah

It's dangerous

Dangerous out there
