Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you wanna cry all night, all night
Plottin', schemin', finding
Reason to defend all of your violent nights
Promise me
These boys are savage, these boys are monsters
These men are pimps, these dudes are players
Father, forgive them, they scared of the karma
They scared of the karma
โฒCause now they see women as somethinโฒ to nurture
Not somethin' to conquer
So donโฒt you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, now
It was all part of the story, even the scary nights
Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, now
Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (oh night)
They gotta repaint the colors, the lie is wearinโฒ off
Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off
So donโฒt you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, now
It was all part of the story, even the scary nights
Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, now
Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (oh night)
They gotta repaint the colors, the lie is wearin' off
Reality is upon us, colors drippinโฒ off
The song "Violent Crimes" by SayGrace is a powerful commentary on how men view and treat women. The opening lines of the song depict the artist's partner talking in his sleep, perhaps revealing his true nature and the violent tendencies that he might have. The artist acknowledges that her partner might have reasons to defend his violent nights, but appeals to him to promise her that he won't continue with his violent ways. From here, the song progresses into a reflection on how men view women as objects to conquer, rather than something to nurture. The artist makes a plea to fathers to teach their sons to view women in a different light, acknowledging that they might be afraid of the karmic consequences of their actions.
The chorus of the song is an appeal to young women to take their time growing up and not rush into adulthood. The artist acknowledges that there will be scary nights, but thanks those who have become heroes by standing up and fighting against the mistreatment of women. The song ends with a powerful image of the colors of the lies and illusions that men have believed about women dripping off, leaving only the reality behind.
Overall, "Violent Crimes" is a thought-provoking and poignant song that speaks to the struggles that women face in a world that is still grappling with gender equality. It urges men to do better and teaches young women that they have the power to change the world around them.

Niggas is savage, niggas is monsters
Niggas is pimps, niggas is players
'Til niggas have daughters, now they precautious
Father forgive me, I'm scared of the karma
'Cause now I see women as somethin' to nurture
Not somethin' to conquer
I hope she like Nicki, I'll make her a monster
Not havin' menages
I'm just being silly
I answered the door, like Will Smith and Martin
Nigga do we have a problem?
Matter of fact Marlin, this ain't Meet the Fockers
I'll beat his ass, pray I beat the charges
No daddy don't play, not when it come to they daughters
Don't do no yoga, don't do pilates
Just play piano and stick to karate
I pray your body's draped more like mine and not like your mommy's
Just bein' salty, but niggas is nuts
And I am a nigga, I know what they want
I pray that you don't get it all at once
Curves under your dress, I know it's pervs all on the 'net
All in the comments, you wanna vomit
That's your baby, you love her to death
Now she cuttin' class and hangin' with friends
You break a glass and say it again
She can't comprehend the danger she's in
If you whoop her ass, she move in with him
Then he whoop her ass, you go through it again
But how you the devil rebukin' the sin?
Let's pray we can put this behind us
I swear that these times is the wildest
She got the scars, they serve as reminders
Blood still on her pajamas, but yesterday is dead, yeah
Moment of silence
Next she'll be off to college
And then at the altar
'Cause she know that niggas is savage
Niggas is monsters
Niggas is pimps, niggas is players
'Til niggas have daughters
Niggas is pimps, niggas is players
'Til niggas have daughters
Don't you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, aw
It was all part of the story, even the scary nights
Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, aw
Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (night, night)
