Slipping
First Degree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You turned out to be fucking punks.
I never thought that it would come to this
but in the end you're just a fake ass bitch.
Keep sweating.
Keep fucking tripping.
The clock is ticking.
Keep sweating.
Keep fucking tripping.
The clock is ticking.
I'll catch you slipping.
I can't believe you tried to crawl right back.
You can never redeem yourselves.
Redemption is fucking dead.
So is the brotherhood that we had.
You dug yourself a grave you can never get out of.
Now you're gonna see another side of me.
I hate everything that you've become.
You're gonna get what's coming your way.
All of this is needless to say.
You disrespected everything that we stood for.
You turn put to be fucking punks.
I never thought that it would come to this
but in the end youre just a fake ass bitch.
Keep sweating.
Keep fucking tripping.
The clock is ticking.
I'll catch you slipping.
Keep sweating.
Keep fucking tripping.
The clock is ticking.
I'll catch you slipping.
BURY YOU UNDER THE EARTH!
BURIED WITH THE FUCKING WORMS!
BURY YOU UNDER THE EARTH!
BURIED WITH THE FUCKING WORMS!
