About Danger (Been So Long)

"Danger (Been So Long)" is the second single released by rapper Mystikal from his fourth album, Let's Get Ready, featuring singer Nivea. It was released on December 12, 2000 and was produced by The Neptunes. The single was a success, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, number three on the Hot Rap Singles and number eight on the Rhythmic Top 40. "Danger (Been So Long)" was the second single from the album to reach the top 20 on the charts, "Shake Ya Ass" being the first. "Danger" was used as part of a running gag on The Daily Show during John Oliver's tenure as interim host in 2013, and again on Oliver's own show Last Week Tonight in 2016, in reference to Anthony Weiner's scandalous mayoral campaign and his online pseudonym, "Carlos Danger".

You know what time it is, nigga
And you know who the f*ck this is

So please, (get on the floor)
Show me, (the nigga right chea)
What it is that you want to see

Go tell the DJ to put my shit on
I'm keeping you niggas and bitches in jump from the minute I get on
Taking they shirt off, showing they tattoos
Screaming and hollering and all
Got the gift to come up with it
Put it together, deliver it, make them feel it, bitch I been on
Sharp like you pulled me out the pencil sharpener
Bad like that student in the principal office
Put rappers in coffins, they dive like dolphins
I'm the damnedest lyrical marvel you come across often
So watch yourself
Or f*ck around and get beside yourself, I know
Go head though, bounce them titties
Shake that ass, drop that pussy but stay in line ho
F*ck I can't, cause you can can
Cocked up, head down, pussy popping on a handstand
Leave that pussy smoking
If you gon' do something then bend over, and bust that pussy open

Been so long, (sing it)
Since he's been on, (sing it)
So please, (get on the floor)
Show me, (the nigga right chea)
What it is that you want to see

Been so long, (sing it)
Since he's been on, (sing it)
So please
Show me
What it is that you want to see

My fucking concert line around the corner
Parking cars, niggas looking for they bitch, nothing on her
You looking good momma why, pssh what's up homie
Sirens, limousines, and the club owner ya bitch you
If you late, ain't no getting in this bitch cause it's filling up
Inside packed from the floor to the ceiling up
The building ain't big enough
I'm backstage bouncing, adrenaline building up
The pussy cutter, did I stutter
The heart flutter, make your woman drawers melt like butter
Down like Nelly, I'm hype like Belly
The rhyme seller, kick ass like Jim Kelly
Stand up, round out, boot up and frown
Tell a nigga if he wanna try it then bitch come on down
No sweat, no blood, no tears
And if I tell you it's the shit then, bitch that's what it is

Been so long, (sing it)
Since he's been on, (sing it)
So please, (get on the floor)
Show me, (the nigga right chea)
What it is that you want to see

Been so long, (sing it)
Since he's been on, (sing it)
So please, (get on the floor)
Show me, (the nigga right chea)
What it is that you want to see

Get on the flo'
The nigga right chea
Danger, motherfucker, watch your back

Get on the flo'
The nigga right chea, get 'em up

Been so long, (sing it)
Since he's been on, (sing it)
So please, (get on the floor)
Show me, (the nigga right chea)
What it is that you want to see

Been so long, (sing it)
Since he's been on, (sing it)
So please, (get on the floor)
Show me, (the nigga right chea)
What it is that you want to see

Danger, get on the flo'
