The tarantula,
Time for the massive come sing ya,
The tarantula,
Don't play with my style I might sting ya,
The tarantula,
You want me inject me bacteria,
And if ya body goin stiff,
And your spine goin numb,
Now come for get some...

Massive! Time to fix you up something here right now...

Shotter, hitter, serial killer,
Go a your funeral and all drink out your liquor,
When you are bury we a-stand next to the vicar,
Fling on some dirt and make your bury a little quicker,
Shouldnt test the youth them in the Tommy Hilfiger,
Hug up you mama, say sorry to you papa,
All a get number for the little sister,
It true we cold like alaska, freeza

The tarantula,
Time for the massive come sing ya,
The tarantula,
Don't play with my style I might sting ya,
The tarantula,
You want me inject me bacteria,
And if ya body goin stiff,
And your spine goin numb,
Now come for get some...

Shotter, hitter, serial killer,
Go a your funeral and all drink out your liquor,
When you are bury we a-stand next to the vicar,
Fling on some dirt and make your bury a little quicker,
Shouldnt test the youth them in the Tommy Hilfiger,
Hug up you mama, say sorry to you papa,
All a get number for the little sister,
It true we cold like alaska, freeza

The tarantula,
Time for the massive come sing ya,
The tarantula,
Don't play with my style I might sting ya,
The tarantula,
You want me inject me bacteria,
And if ya body goin stiff,
And your spine goin numb,
Now come for get some...

The tarantula,
Time for the massive come sing ya,
The tarantula,
Don't play with my style I might sting ya,
The tarantula,
You want me inject me bacteria,
And if ya body goin stiff,




And your spine goin numb,
Now come for get some...

Overall Meaning

The song ‘Children’ by Dimension portrays the consequences of glorifying crime and harbor this criminal culture in society. The lyrics refer to the tarantula as a metaphor for the predator who preys on the weak and benefits from their vulnerability. The tarantula represents the ruthless individuals who inject lethal bacteria that paralyze their victims, putting them in a helpless and immobile state. By promoting negative and violent behaviors, people become desensitized to the severity of their actions, leading to further unacceptable behavior.


The lyrics ‘Shotter, hitter, serial killer, Go a your funeral and all drink out your liquor,’ indicate that people who take up such roles of being shooters or killers should be careful as they could become a victim of their own practices ultimately. The chorus ‘The tarantula, Time for the massive come sing ya, Don't play with my style I might sting ya, You want me inject me bacteria, And if ya body goin stiff, And your spine goin numb, Now come for get some...’ indicates that the individuals who glorify violence will face its consequences and must brace themselves.


The song wants to convey the message that glorifying violence and crime is an unsustainable culture and that people need to take responsibility for their actions. Such individuals should be mindful of their behavior and strive to achieve progress and success through positive actions rather than resorting to violence and negativity.
