[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
