D.ANGER! (formerly known as Danger Is The Game) is a formerly unidentified rock/electro-industrial song made by Bobo (Bogdan Ioan) ft. The Nanite. It was commonly misattributed to Michael Jackson due to voice similarities.
The original sample might’ve been edited to be higher pitch, with a longer repeating beat at the start and “oh” vocals in the background.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't believe my eyes
They're wearing a disguise
They wanna take control
My body and my soul
You feel it every time
You [?] to crime
(Why do we?)
[Verse 2]
I had the strangest dream
I was a demon's toy
Why won't you let me be?
(That's our joy)
They locked me in a cage
Just fills me up with rage
(Why do we?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Never before have I ever complained
Livin' my life neither demon nor saint
Seein' my anger becoming a sin
Reach for the danger, my evil twin
[Chorus]
Danger is the game
No chance to get away
You got to play with them
You gotta feel the pain
Danger is to blame
Go back from where you came
(Never be afraid, never complain)
[Verse 3]
Why did you call me dead
Why don't you set me free
Why won't you let me be
A lover and a fighter? A lover
What did you really see?
(Why do we?)
[Pre-Chorus]
Never before have I ever complained
Livin' my life neither demon nor saint
Seein' my anger becoming a sin
Reach for the danger, my evil twin
[Chorus]
Danger is the game
No chance to get away
You got to play with them
You gotta feel the pain
Danger is to blame
Go back from where you came
Never be free, never complain
Danger is the game
No chance to get away
You got to play with them
You gotta feel the pain
Danger is to blame
Go back from where you came
Never be free, never complain
[Bridge]
All I ever wanted
Was flying to you
Has it something to do
With all the people dying too?
Nowhere to go
Has it something to do (I don’t wanna die in vain)
With all the people dying?
[Chorus]
Danger is the game
No chance to get away
You got to play with them (You gotta play the game)
You gotta feel the pain
Danger is to blame (You gotta feel the pain)
Go back from where you came
(No, no) Never be free, never complain
Danger is the game
No chance to get away
You got to play with them
You gotta feel the pain
Danger is to blame
Go back from where you came
Never be free, never complain
