Dangerous
KJ-52 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't forgive or forget
We hold on and it's dangerous it's dangerous
We resent we regret we look back but it's dangerous
Living like we do is so dangerous

I wanna hit you up ain't got the words to say
Cause all that junk would do is push you farther away
And every time I see you you acting like it's all ok
Your were the last one I ever thought would fall away
I never thought you'd change never thought you'd stray
And run right back to the very things I know you hate
With all you gone through tell me why you go this way
Caught up in the junk going where you came
Caught up on the run your everyday the same
You hold your head up high living it w/out no shame
And every day it gets a little harder just try to pray
If I could sit you down here's what I would say

Your wings are broken yet you keep on flying
Every time I talk to you you never recognize it
Holding on to your past yet you kept denying
Try to mask your hurt in all the junk that your trying
Yet I'll be lying if I said its all ok
Your missing church man It's getting worse today
It's obvious that you're hurt that's the role you play
The one where you blame and push everyone away
I have to say that he's the one you need
The one that died crucified now on that tree
And the final thing I have to say now honestly
The one I'm talking about is me

It's a long hard road to nowhere
And we're having trouble finding our way




It's a long hard road to nowhere
Need something different someone help me to change

@callmekassie1

I'm pretty sure God is trying to tell me something. This is kinda what I needed to hear right now. Oh, the power of God is just so indescribable.

@SHDOW-lw1nr

We live in a dangerous world, but with God we can choose to be the person who is a haven to others. We are an example to others and the way we live.

@CLAYM8s

Amen! Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! Keep representing him KJ.

@Zaxsmith

Thank you KJ-52 for keep the music alive. You have been doing this for years. I still have your CDs from the early 2000s. Love the music. Keep it up. Much love from Texas. God Bless you and yours.

@raisemyvoice318

what an amazing song. i love it. kj is one of the best christian artists out there, i have loved him since day 1 :)

@MrKrillz0r

During the plagues, death and loneliness He was right there. We are set apart from God but Jesus opened the way for us, all we need to do is trust in Him and ask for His forgiveness and help. That will not stop the plagues and death in the world though, the curses that we brought upon ourselves. And people who refuses to believe in Him will eventually go to hell, because they themselves chose to. But everyone is free to come to Him, and He loves us all so much that He was ready to die for us.

@guitargeekette

This song is legit. Living the way we do is dangerous if we hold on to hurt and refuse to forgive and let go. God gives us a gift that makes holding on to hurt obsolete.

@cuturalrebel

i wish i had the courage to tell all this to my brothers...but...i don't. i don't know if i ever will. but i have to because they need to hear it. they need to hear God again.
