10. Spit It Out
Slipknot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you never gave a damn in the first place
Maybe it's time you had the tables turned
'Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved
And the verdict is guilty
Man nearly killed me

Steppin' where you fear to tread
Stop, drop and roll, you were dead from the git-go!!
Big mouth fucker, stupid cocksucker!
Are you scared of me now? Then you're dumber than I thought
Always is, never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step to me, I'll smear ya, think I fear ya? Bullshit!
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
It's gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity, literal profanity hit me!

Spit it out
Spit it out

All you want to do is drag me down
All I want to do is stamp you out

Maybe it's the way you spread a lotta rumor fodder
Keepin' all your little spies and leavin' when you realize
Step up, fairy
I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome
Straight to the dome
You heard that right, bitch, I didn't stutter
If you know what's good, sit, shut up and beg, brother
Backstab, don't you know who you're dissin'?
Side swipe, we know the ass that you're kissin'!
Bigidy, bigidy bitch boy, halfwat hauser
Can't hear shit 'cause I keep gettin' louder
Step up, and you get a face full o' tactic
Lippin' off hard, goin' home in a basket
You got no pull, no power, no nuthin'
Now you start shit? Well, ain't that somethin'?
Payoffs don't protect, and you can't hide if you want
But I'll find you comin' up behind you!

Spit it out
Spit it out

All you want to do is drag me down
All I want to do is stamp you out

'Bout time I set this record straight
All the needlenose punchin' is makin' me irate
Sick o' my bitchin' fallin' on deaf ears
Where you gonna be in the next five years?
The crew and all the fools, and all the politics
Get your lips ready, gonna gag, gonna make you sick
You got dick when they passed out the good stuff
Bam
Are you sick of me? Good enough, had enough

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies!

Spit it out
Spit it out

All you want to do is drag me down
All I want to do is stamp you out

ok this feels very special to me as I was the guy who requested this a while ago. here is the origin story:
I had one of these weird dreams about 2 years ago when the pandemic fucked with our lives. I just moved to a new place shortly before and got a new job so a lot was changing in my life. hadn't seen many friends in a long while, some of them I would never see again. one circle of friends was full of people who liked hip hop, trap and all that stuff. I was the only metalhead although I liked oldschool rap like nas or ice cube too. I tried and failed to get my friends into metal, with the exception of some very rap-heavy songs by limp bizkit or linkin park^^
spit it out was always one of my favourite slipknot songs and the rap verses are a big part of what makes it special imo. so one night I dreamt that I was in studio with ice cube and dre and the 3 of us created a NWA style over of spit it out. and it was a very long dream that included me convincing them of the idea. finally we performed it together at some festival and corey taylor himself joined us on stage.
then I woke up and later thought that would be cool and wrote a comment for 10seconds songs making that suggestion.

watching this feels absolutely surreal. a creation of my subconcious made reality by one of the artists I have admired on youtube for almost 10 years at this point (damn we're getting old). and you did an incredible job! thank you ant

@the__void__spaghetti__girl

@SvenS2

Absolutely!

@Memorh19

Damn right!!

@kimmyfreak200

I love these conversion type songs..like remember when yelawolf did an album HIP HOP TRIBUTE TO CLASSIC ROCK ..i just absolutely adored his version of TNT by AC/DC.. cuz it sounds old skool almost like run dmc and beastie boys.. rock/metal transitions rather nicely into hip hop and vice versa.. like leo from frog leap studios his missy elliot covers are sick, (even the MV he did for WORK IT) and he even did pitbull terrier by die antwoord (i don't know what genre that artist is) but he made it metal af... i hope anthony collabs with leo one day!
