[Hook: Zaz]
Uh it's these dangerous times
It's these dangerous minds
It's these dangerous crimes
Or it's these dangerous rhymes
[Verse 1: Zaz]
I feel the hatred
From all the people from the United States of muthaf**ing evil
I can already see this as a sequel
We got our own population turning on our own people
All these psycho politicians speaking on matters so fecal
We've got police using guns on innocent people
With methods way farther than lethal
Uh it doesn't have to be like this but what do I know I'm a white kid from Minneapolis
But instead of sitting and throwing a fit
I'm using my own music to harness my fist
We've got to attack this problem at the core
You can't shoot a man for stealing a cigar from a store
You can't k** a man just because he's poor
Or just because there's no one there to care for
We thought racism ended but there's more
You see white privilege even when your at the corner store
You see it when swat busts down your door and even in schools this is a huge problem I'm sure
I'm sure
[Hook: Zaz]
Uh it's these dangerous times
It's these dangerous minds
It's these dangerous crimes
Or it's these dangerous rhymes
[Verse 2: Zaz]
With all this hatred surrounding us
Who are we as a youth supposed to faithfully trust
We were taut that when we talk to adults we must
Treat them with respect and never throw a fuss
But what happens when they don't respect us
How are we supposed to respond if their respect is our trust
