Slave
Agitator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bottom of the barrel
The lowest of the low

Drug dealer, fucking scumbag
Greedy motherfucker preying on the weak
Occupy your mind with your gangster movie fantasies
It won′t be long before you're swallowed by the beast
You perpetuate the downfall of the nation′s youth
Tricked by their schemes, you won't listen to the truth
The drugs you buy will become your demise
You can't hide forever in a world of disguise
Some day you′ll get busted
So you better look over your shoulder,
Make sure you know who you′ve trusted

Every time you breathe that smoke you show you're fucking weak
Keep it up, your future′s fucking bleak
It's like an itch that you can never scratch
Can′t make it through the day without your fix.
You're a slave to your addiction.




I swear that I will never understand.
You look so fucking stupid with that shit in your hand.
