Intro
My friends are warning me about her. I’m busy planning another date.
That’s where we are in “She’s Dangerous.” Jimmy’s falling for a woman in Austin, and every warning sounds less persuasive than spending another afternoon with her. Mike sings “status undefined” in the chorus. My verses are considerably more optimistic about where this is going.
The walk through the park lasts until dark, and I don’t want to go home. This is the part of Act I where Jimmy can turn almost anything into an encouraging sign. He has plenty to say about chemistry and very little interest in asking whether the feeling is mutual.

Lyrics
Yeah, sippin on this coffee. Thinkin’ bout this girl.
Chunjay, Verse 1:
Such a dish, she’s delicious, downright nutritious
Kinda chick who has a Guinness but still down with that fitness
Business in the front, she look good in the back
Got a mind that attracts an a booty that distracts
Not talking pirate treasure but I might as well be
Captain Jack would scoop her up and take her out to sea
The Black Pearl may be cursed but imma take her out to drinks
Hug her tight to my chest and tell her what I think
Put it on the line, clink a glass of wine
It’s a dangerous thing trying to make her all mine
Such a pretty face got that sweet soft skin
Of course she makes me chase her all the way to the end
Dangerous those eyes, dangerous those lips
Dangerous the highs, I put my hand up on her hip
Tryin a get a grip, got me actin reckless
It all started with some tacos out in Austin, Texas
Ahh, man. I don’t know where this is goin’. But, geez, Taco Deli was great. So much fun. Yeah!
Flatline, Chorus:
She’s dangerous, been heavy on my mind
She’s dangerous, made my heart go blind
Rhymed words and phrases
With flirts and praises
She’s dangerous status undefined
Chunjay, Verse 2:
Round number 2, @JustJamey steppin through
She got me living dangerous in that heart pursuit
She could be a maneater, leave me spit and chewed
But imma ride this one out and hope it continues
What’s next on the menu like my name was Pete Rockin
Holding hands in the park without an eye on the clockin
Maneuvers in the dark like orchestrated shockin
Dangerous embrace like, knockin, knockin
Imma rock her world like she been rocking me
Relaxation on my brain, it’s electricity
Take it back to 93 like Phife and Q-Tip
Gotta get a grip she holds a knife and a whip
Sippin on a brew with the girl and my crew
Is this the real deal or will she and I be through
Tension in the chemistry, tryina not be restless
It all started with a girl, out in Austin, Texas
Yeah, it’s like, we go a whole day. The day goes by so fast. Pretty soon it’s dark, walkin through the park… I don’t wanna go home.
Verse 3:
Flatline:
Talking ’bout her…
Chunjay:
Yo, I took her out
Connections on my mind for the whole dang route
Crew bringing the Ruckus
Flatline:
No doubt, no doubt
Chunjay:
She be straight up sumptuous, a dangerous shout
Flatline:
She’s deadly man, she could rip your world apart
Chunjay:
The beauty is there but there’s a beast in her heart
The way she looks away it’s like a calculated game
The struggle on her lips just to tell me thangs
Coy and cocky, goes back and forth
The joy and the rocky, she knows true north
Am I just a chess piece, a pawn in her strategy?
Move me around to make a kill by her majesty…
Ignore my boys’ warnings and fall to her gravity
Keep me coming back oblivious to tragedy
Diggin every minute not just goin down a checklist
It all started with this dish out in Austin, Texas
It’s like I should be nervous, but I just feel good. The whole thing feels good. I just want more. Give me more!
