Group 1 Crew - Dangerous Lyrics
Lyrics
We on fire.
Danger!
Yeah we been called, don't hang up.
The devil mad...ha anger.
But we don't talk to him, he a stranger.
So we walk instead of talk it cause He said so.
Ain't no time for waiting, no debating...
Baby let's go!
Pedal to the floor, gassed up...
Homie petro!
Tell about the blood that they drew when He bled so.
Lived a life so reckless,
I don't know how I made it through.
Always taking chances and trying everything but You.
So why am I playing it safe when it
comes to giving You my life (I don't know)
I can't let fear hold me back from
doing what I know is right.
I felt Your spirit show me things
that I would never believe.
Could never happen in the time in my life.
And even though it scares me just to think
that You've chosen me, I promise I won't
put up a fight.
I want to live dangerous.
Risk it all for You, Lord.
I need You to wake me up from
the life I've known before.
Whatever it takes, I want You to make,
make me more like You.
There's nothing I won't give up.
I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)
I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)
I know You've been waiting for me
to give You all I am.
Be a light in the darkness,
Strong enough to take a stand.
I don't want to box You in or
keep You hidden anymore...
Cause You're the only One worth
giving my life for.
I want to live dangerous.
Risk it all for You, Lord.
I need You to wake me up from
the life I've known before.
Whatever it takes, I want You to make,
make me more like You.
There's nothing I won't give up.
I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)
I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)
I get dangerous but it don't matter,
that ain't a thing to us.
We either live for Him or live for us.
And the fact is we don't really (really) know
when the end will come (end will come).
So until then I'll be Your mindstar.
No more playing games...contra.
Wake me up to a morning glory.
Eyes to a God I know I trust to
bring me through the dangerous.
I want to live dangerous.
Risk it all for You, Lord.
I need You to wake me up from
the life I've known before.
Whatever it takes, I want You to make,
make me more like You.
There's nothing I won't give up.
I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)
I want to live dangerous (oh! woah! oh! oh!)
I want to live (Group 1 Crew!)

Meaning & Inspiration
Group 1 Crew's "Dangerous," released as part of their 2012 album *Fearless*, is a bold declaration of faith and a call to a life fully surrendered to God. The song's central theme revolves around shedding complacency and embracing a radical commitment to Christ, even when it involves risk and stepping outside of comfort zones. The lyrical narrative, while not detailing a specific event, paints a vivid picture of spiritual awakening and the deliberate choice to pursue a life defined by godly purpose rather than earthly security. It speaks to the internal struggle of overcoming fear and apprehension when faced with the profound call to follow Christ wholeheartedly, acknowledging that this commitment might seem "dangerous" from a worldly perspective. The song directly addresses the internal battle between living a self-focused life and dedicating one's entire existence to God’s will, recognizing that genuine faith demands a departure from the familiar and comfortable.
The profound message of "Dangerous" is deeply rooted in scriptural principles of discipleship and dedication. The lyric, "I want to live dangerous. Risk it all for You, Lord," echoes the sacrifices and commitments of biblical figures who faced immense challenges for their faith. This sentiment aligns with Jesus’ teachings in Luke 9:23, where He states, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” The idea of "waking up from the life I've known before" is a powerful metaphor for spiritual rebirth, a concept foundational in passages like 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" The song's insistence on wanting to be made "more like You" is a direct prayer for sanctification, a continuous process of being molded into the likeness of Christ, as described in Romans 8:29: "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son." The rejection of a life lived for self, as stated, "We either live for Him or live for us," directly contrasts with the biblical call to love God above all else and one's neighbor as oneself (Matthew 22:37-39), framing the choice between a self-serving existence and a God-centered one. The recognition of the uncertainty of life and the call to be a "light in the darkness" and "strong enough to take a stand" are powerful reminders of the Christian imperative to be salt and light in the world, as encouraged by Jesus in Matthew 5:13-16. Ultimately, "Dangerous" is an inspiring anthem that urges listeners to consider the depth of their commitment to Christ, encouraging a bold and unwavering pursuit of a life fully dedicated to Him, even when it means stepping into the unknown.
