[Intro] [Heavy 808 boom, classic boom-bap drum loop, vinyl scratch] Yeah... turn the TV off. They want you terrified. "Danger, danger." That's all they say. Listen up... step out the shadows. Let’s talk about it. [Chorus] Danger this, danger that, watch out where you tread! News anchor on the screen messing with your head. "It’s dangerous to live! It’s dangerous to breathe!" So lock the front door and don't you ever leave! Wait, hold up—what about an earthquake or a flood? Living in a bubble won't protect your flesh and blood. Be smart, stay sharp, keep your vision clear, But you can't spend your whole life paralyzed by fear. [Verse 1] Turn the broadcast on, breaking news, sirens in the street. Teachers drilling fear till the panic is complete. Adults telling kids, "Don't you wander in the dark. Keep your head down, boy, don't go playing in the park." Yeah, the world is kinda cold, never been a safe space. But you can't live shaking with a panic on your face. Paranoia got you trapped, freezing in your tracks, Looking over both shoulders, waiting for attacks. Every shadow is a monster, every sound's a trap, But if you never take a step, you fall off the map. They teach you danger is the only thing that you should know, But if you're too afraid to walk, how you gonna grow? [Chorus] Cause it's danger this, danger that, watch out where you tread! News anchor on the screen messing with your head. "It’s dangerous to live! It’s dangerous to breathe!" So lock the front door and don't you ever leave! Wait, hold up—what about an earthquake or a flood? Living in a bubble won't protect your flesh and blood. Be smart, stay sharp, keep your vision clear, But you can't spend your whole life paralyzed by fear. [Verse 2] [Beat drops out—just a heavy kick drum, snare, and a deep sub-bass] Now hold up—don't mistake my words, don't be acting wild. Trying to show off for the crowd like a foolish child. Hanging from a skyscraper by a single hand? Slip and drop, a bag of bones crashing on the land. Jumping off a jagged cliff, trying to be the man? Snapping up your spine, yeah, that wasn't in the plan. You like the throttle, love the bike? Yeah, I get the thrill, But ride it by the rules or you're riding for the kill. It won't protect you from a fool, but it keeps you alive. Don't do something stupid just to see if you survive. Stop acting like you're invincible, playing with your fate, Speeding down the highway till it’s suddenly too late. Yeah, the world is full of risks, you gotta use your brain. Don't be adding to the danger, making yourself insane. [Bridge] [Beat speeds up slightly, getting more intense] So what you gonna do? Just sit inside a room? Waiting for the ceiling to collapse and bring the doom? Stay alert, check the mirror, keep your vision wide, But don't be robbing your own life by locking it inside. There's a line between a coward and a man who is wise. Open up your mind, take the blinders off your eyes! [Chorus] Danger this, danger that, watch out where you tread! News anchor on the screen messing with your head. "It’s dangerous to live! It’s dangerous to breathe!" So lock the front door and don't you ever leave! Wait, hold up—what about an earthquake or a flood? Living in a bubble won't protect your flesh and blood. Be smart, stay sharp, keep your vision clear, But you can't spend your whole life paralyzed by fear. [Outro] [Beat starts to fade out slowly, vinyl crackle returns] Yeah... Be careful out there. But don't forget to actually live. If you're always afraid of dying... you ain't living anyway. Danger this, danger that... Whatever, man. I'm out. [Heavy sub bass hits one last time and echoes out]
