Digital Underground
The Danger Zone
[Intro]
Man, somebody comin', man, hurry up, put the pipe down, shh, be quiet

[Chorus: Shock G]
Enter a new dimension
Can't you feel the tension?
Ever heard the word "prevention"?
Well, you really need to pay attention
You only need a little bit
So you want another hit?
Call emergency on the telephone
You're in the danger zone

[Post-Chorus]
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone

[Verse 1: Shock G]
You're in the zone, when you need another upper (Another upper)
You took a slip and goin' out like a sucker (Like a sucker)
Matter of fact, you're more than just slippin'
You're way beyond control, you're on a mission (You're on a mission)
You walk right through a wall
To get a twenty, a forty or an eight ball
And once you enter this area
There ain't nothin' scarier, and all I wanna say to ya
Is just back the hell up (Back the hell up)
You need to go where they let you do your thing in a cup (Thing in a cup)
And you can take a diagnosis
You see, your boy Shock G wrote this (Wrote this)
To open up your mind
Do you know who I am? Deliverer of the rhyme
My job is to verbally slay suckers
Like an Uzi, sprayin' motherfuckers (Sprayin' motherfuckers)
The Underground is gonna get ya
Now pay attention you're about to enter
[Chorus: Shock G]
Into a new dimension
Can't you feel the tension?
I'm sure you heard the word "prevention"
So like I said, pay attention
You only need a little bit
You still want another hit?
Even if it's homegrown
Yo, you're in the danger zone

[Post-Chorus]
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone

[Verse 2: Kenny K]
On the corner I see cocaine addicts (Cocaine addicts)
Givin' static and about to go at it ('Bout to go at it)
And then you hear somebody holler
(Who was it K?) It was dope fiend Carla
She was waitin' on a winner (On a winner)
That ho, every night she has crack for dinner (Crack for dinner)
But everybody's basin'
Even the suckers who are runnin' this nation
Yes, I'm pullin' no punches
The government gets drugs in bunches
Shock G, get the nine
But don't shoot until I finish my rhyme
This zone makes suckers stop breathin' (Stop breathin')
Sweat bullets, drop down to their knees and
Start beggin' for your pipe 'cause you're all in
Sometimes you can feel yourself fallin'
[Chorus: Shock G]
Into a new dimension
Can't you feel the tension?
Don't let me forget to mention
The Underground is puttin' their two cents in
What's the matter, feelin' blue?
Does this record bother you?
If so, you need to leave it alone
You're in the danger zone

[Post-Chorus]
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone

[Verse 3: Shock G]
Caught a red light downtown (Downtown)
Freak was on the tip 'cause my window was down
Stuck her head in the car, it was dope fiend Carla
She said, "Can you spare five dollars?" I said, "Hell no"
She said, "I'm not asking for much"
I said, "Bitch, I'd rather give a crippled crab a crutch" (Crippled crab a crutch)
She said, "Why you wanna clown me?"
I said, "It's simple, I don't like fiends hangin' 'round me
Can't you see that you got a disease?
You weight sixty-six pounds, down from a hundred and three" (Hundred and three)
The light turned green and I was gone
She was livin' in the danger zone
[Chorus: Shock G]
It's a new dimension
Can't you feel the tension?
You recognize this sound
Go on, just put the pipe down
What's the matter, feelin' blue?
Does this record bother you?
If so, you need to leave it alone
Punk, you're in the danger zone

[Post-Chorus]
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (You're in the danger zone)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone

[Outro: Shock G]
Uh, I'm at the 9600 block of Macarthur, Apartment A
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (That's a 10-4, 419, uh)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (Backup unit is on route to your location)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (Uh, yes, victim ID)
Young Black female, uh, early teens, she's pregnant
You— You— Young Black female, uh, early teens, she's pregnant
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (Apparent crack overdose I'm gonna need back—)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (Apparent crack overdose I'm gonna need back—)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (Apparent crack overdose I'm gonna need back—)
Just lounge, you're in the danger zone (Apparent crack overdose I'm gonna need backup)
Nine-eleven, nine-eleven
Nine-eleven
Uh, cancel that backup call, we've lost her
