Voices
(hed) p.e. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somethin inside tells me to grab this pen and write it down
That very same voice tells me to grab this joint and light it now
There must be somethin in these trees that keep me sane
Because I got these tendencies to put a bullet in your brain

Suicidal tendencies to grab a razor blade
Chop a line as long as Thailand
And inject it in my brain
And it wasn't even Yayo
It was crystal Drain-O
Fuck Nancy Rea-ho
Don't just say no
Just say yes
And go have sex on ten hits of X
Let ten guys cum on your chest
Just make sure I'm next
I had my aids test
And I think I passed
Now - go in the room bitch
And clean up the mess

Give us what we want
I want to violate you
Why won't you wake up
My friend - please let me rape you
I hate you - I'll break you
I want you broken in half
Give us what we want now!!!

Something inside of us keeps telling us to not give up
Something inside of me says all roads lead to tragedy
How can you stay mad at me
I'm just a clown
A nobody
I don't even exist to you
So how can I mean shit to you

So stop pretending that you care whether I laff or cry
You a phony you a fake
It's time for you to die

You and me'll always be enemies
It's like you the Arab
And I'm the Israeli

Give us what we want

Somethin inside of yo vaginaz got me homicidal
When you bend over - it's all over
Rover's takin over
Fat - skinny - short - tall
I think I've fucked em all
I'm not sure
I can't remember - from the alcohol
Demoral - Percoset and Xanax
But now I only fuck with the pussy and smoke cess-
Imilia - ria lena - eu chi amo maizia




Translation - Dear Mamma
I can't wait to see ya
