Snakes
Papa Roach Lyrics

I got a problem with the snakes that are crawling
The singer has an issue with the deceitful people in their vicinity

Through my area when the darkness has fallen
The snakes operate under the cover of darkness

Momma told me that they love to bite
The singer's mother warned them about how dangerous the snakes can be

They'll stab you in the back, no shame that's right, what, what?
The snakes will betray others without remorse

I keep my distance cause they're making me crazy
The presence of the snakes is causing the artist mental distress

And stealing from me, you know those fuckers are lazy
The snakes are also thieves and are viewed by the singer as lazy

My blood boils fat turns to oil
The singer is becoming furious with the snakes

Step the fuck back, or you'll get buried in soil
The artist warns the snakes to stay away or face the consequences

Over drama, or you could sleep with the fishes
The snakes may end up dead due to their propensity for drama and deceit

My clutches are tight and I'll take your last wishes
The artist will not let go of the snakes until they suffer the consequences of their actions

One for the money, two for your girl
The singer has already caused harm to the snakes' assets and loved ones

Three for your life now I fucked up your world
The artist has now succeeded in destroying the snakes' existence

Do you like how it feels to be bit
The singer questions if the snakes enjoy how it feels to cause pain

In the neck by a snake that kills
The snakes are compared to venomous creatures that cause harm

Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the back
The singer asks if the snakes understand the pain of betrayal

Then watch the blood spill
The harm caused by the snakes is often bloody and violent

It's kinda funny how you're running your mouth man
The artist finds it amusing how the snakes continue to speak despite their own deceitfulness

You're caught in a lie and there's no way out, come on
The snakes have been found out and cannot escape the consequences

Betray your friends and your peeps and your family
The snakes have betrayed those closest to them, including family and friends

Living like a snake, living like a bloody thief
The snakes' actions are characterized as sneaky and criminal

Check my speech cause it's deep like the sea
The artist's words carry much weight and meaning, like the depth of the ocean

From me to y'all and then from y'all back to me
The artist is communicating with the snakes and back again for clarification

Danger, danger, I slay snakes like a ranger
The singer is a skilled hunter of the deceitful and will punish the snakes accordingly

Military style fears God, not a stranger
The artist is disciplined and follows a moral code

Now tell me whose crew slicker? Mine's sicker
The singer challenges the snakes to a competition of superiority and boasts their own group's greatness

Get on your knees, you'll be a dick licker
The singer humiliates and degrades the snakes

Do you know how it feels to be bit
The singer repeats their question to the snakes

By a snake that kills
The nature of the snakes is reiterated as deadly

Do you like how it feels?
The artist asks the snakes to reflect on their own actions

Do you like how it feels to be bit
The singer again questions the snakes, asking them to empathize with their victims

In the neck by a snake that kills
The comparison to venomous creatures is repeated

By a snake that kills
The danger of the snakes is reinforced
