Gorilla Voltage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've alluded to the fact that you Judas
And gonna be droppin' names
Get a cock and name I forgive 'em my pistol pop and bang
I stay at the top of the food chain
Dinner and a date with a nice Chianti
Cookin' up brains on a hot plate
Getting bomb brain from a caucasian Beyonce
With some fava beans
I'm the farthest thing from a martyr please
Yes I'll die to serve the weak
Burn a priest
Everybody gonna get learned to see
I'm the C to the L-O-C-K-W-O-R-C
Quantum leapin' up into that pussy
'Cause the best things are free
Got this, non-contest
I'm a bomb threat rockin'
You can smell it on my breath
Fire, brimstone hawkin'
Hot poo, Glock full
Ain't no way they am shit
I be makin' 'em and breakin' 'em
My finger bacon strips
Take a hint, squint
He'd be, the devil is in this he G
You wanted me sick and I'm working a 9 to 5
And jerkin off on your sheets
Sick and a fuckin' and sockin' and mockin' the lion
I am king of the jungle
Makin' it back so the few should see me
On my throne of bone and rubble
The lyrics in Gorilla Voltage's self-titled song "Gorilla Voltage" are rich in imagery and references to pop culture. The opening lines address the theme of betrayal when the lyricist says, "You've alluded to the fact that you Judas/And gonna be droppin' names." The artist then turns to a reference from the Silence of the Lambs movie when he speaks about cooking brains on a hot plate and eating them with a nice Chianti. The artist sees himself as an alpha predator at the top of the food chain that has no qualms about killing anyone who challenges him. He says, "I'm the C to the L-O-C-K-W-O-R-C/Quantum leapin' up into that pussy/'Cause the best things are free."
The lyricist suggests that he is not a martyr but will die to serve the weak. He seems to relish the power that he has, which makes him like the "king of the jungle/Makin' it back so the few should see me/On my throne of bone and rubble." Although the lyrics are violent, they are not meant to be taken literally. Instead, they are more about power, revenge, and the struggle of the underdogs in society. The artist sees himself as a voice for people who have been marginalized and oppressed.
