Art Should Be Dangerous

Yeah
Trizzy Nate said how you wanna carry it's whatever

Ay yo
What they always tell you out there? "Stay safe, stay safe"
Yeah they want you to stay safe, yeah, yeah, yeah
But nah
A wise woman once said "art should be dangerous"

I'm like Lauryn Hill, miseducated, always late
And sometimes white people, I fuckin' hate 'em
Sike nah y'all, all I'm really saying is
They tell you "stay safe" we should be dangerous, yeah
Art should be dangerous
Show 'em who they playing with, yeah
We ain't with the same shit, nah
'Cause art should be dangerous

One day when I was walking, walking to the fair
Yo I saw this lil' shorty with the flowers in her hair
She said: ay c'mere, I see you got them dreads too bruh,
Let me introduce, yo my name Medusa
Google what they used to do to me, would you sir
How y'all made a god out of my abuser
You destroyed my image now I'm "that ugly girl"
So catch me Freudian slippin' like motherfuck the world
Stayin' woke drinking coffee threatening to damage ya
'Cause the fam forgot me like I'm Kevin McCallister
Man you should've been focused
But was out LA tokin'
Feeling so califragilisticexpialidocious

Oh shit bitch, what you knew me back then?
Well you can tell I'm in hell, way only shitty men win

She said: you ain't being punished for your sins
Look around nigga, you the punishment for them!
And if you really care it's your job as a artist
To turn a bitchmade billionaire into a target
They all gettin' what they deserve in the end
'Cause Karma's a bitch and a damn good friend
Plus what's a night in jail if you can make bail
Can't get to "hell yeah" if you don't take a couple L's
So rob this industry just for the fun of it

I said: I got you, I keep it Ocean's 100
This whole bourgeoisie, B they gotta fall
Tiocfaidh ár lá
Gon' be our call

So Trizzy went to Dublin town, stole a armored car
Then he gave it to the IRA brigade in Mullingar, yah

I'm like Lauryn Hill: miseducated, always late
And sometimes white people, I fuckin' hate 'em
Sike nah y'all, all I'm really saying is
They tell you "stay safe" we should be dangerous, yeah
Art should be dangerous
Show 'em who they playing with, yeah
We ain't with the same shit, nah
'Cause art should be dangerous

Yo they hate it when you talk about black shit
Cases of racism, they saying "move past it"
But I came from slaves and now I own my masters
Plus I don't even see race, you white bastard
