Killer
Social Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now can you clap for the killers?
Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers
Double up for them gangsters

Well I
Wrote this for criminals
But all of y'all should listen at me
Now if you ever catch me snitchin
Just haul off and slap me
They on the other team
Let's rumble
Is my thoughts exactly
They work for gangsters
And they wacked Fred Hampton Jr.'s
Pappy
Ay playboy
Pop em with a pistol and get executed
Ay mama
Murder em with missiles and you get saluted
Go head and
Gank em for a grand
It's DNA computed
But bankers bathe in the Bahamas
Off of billions looted

Now can you clap?
Now can you clap?
Now can you clap for them killers?
Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers
Double up for them gangsters

Well I
Wrote this for criminals
But they the ones who wrote the laws
They ain't on TV getting arrested ass up in their draws
They stick their hands up politicians
Make em move their jaws
And they be starving folks for bread
Until their breath pause
Ay take a memo Moneypenny
Say the deed is done
And you can bcc DC
And say our leaders won
But first we fax the photograph of the
Opponent's son
Adjust the image
'Cause it's hard to see the gag and gun

Now can you clap?
Now can you clap?
Now can you clap?
Now can you clap?

Now can you clap for them killers?
Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers
Double up for them gangsters

Well I
Wrote this for gangsters
While I sprinted through your backyard
Not for them Coppola criminals
They just act hard
Tony Montana had a stylist and a SAG
Card
When he reloaded slaves forgot they had
Back scars

Ay
M-m-mister DeNiro what kind of gun is
That?
Can you look more like a menace?
Take two
Now run it back
Ay s-s-so what Scorsese
Got all them money stacks
Long as his lens never looks at the real maniacs

Clap for them killers
Give it up for them gangsters




One time for the killers
Double up for them gangsters

Wish I may, wish I might,
Find my one true love tonight.
Do you think that he,
Could be you?
If I pray really tight,
Get into a fake bar fight,
While I’m walking down,
The avenue.
If I lay really quiet,
I know that what I do isn’t right,
I can’t stop what I,
Love to do.
So I murder love in the night,
Watching them fall one by one they fight,
Do you think you’ll,
Love me too, ooh, ooh?
Baby, I’m a sociopath,
Sweet serial killer.
On the warpath,
‘Cause I love you,
Just a little too much.
I love you just,
A little too much.
(Much, much, much).
You can see me,
Drinking cherry cola,
Sweet serial killer.
I left a love note,

Said you know I love,
The thrill of the rush.
You know I love,
The thirll of the rush.
(Rush, rush, rush).
(You send me right to heaven),
Sweet serial killer,
(I guess I’ll see him over).
Do it for the thrill of the rush,

Sweet serial killer,

I love you just a little too much,
Love you just a little too much, much.
My black fire’s burning bright,
Maybe I’ll go out tonight.
We can paint the town,
In blue.
I’m so hot, I ignight,
Dancing in the dark and I shine.
Like a light I’m,
Luring you.
Sneak up on you, really quiet,
Whisper “am I what your heart desires?”
I could be your,
Ingenue.
Keep you safe, and inspired,
Baby, let your fantasies unwind.
We can do what you,
Want to do, ooh, ooh.
Baby, I’m a sociopath,
Sweet serial killer.
On the warpath,
‘Cause I love you,
Just a little too much.
I love you just,
A little too much.
(Much, much, much).
You can see me,
Drinking cherry cola,
Sweet serial killer.
I left a love note,
Said you know I love,

Assassina Em Série


Gostaria de poder, gostaria de poder
Encontrar meu único e verdadeiro amor essa noite
Você acha que ele poderia ser você?
Se eu rezar com muito fervor
Entrar em uma briga de bar falsa
Enquanto eu ando pela avenida

Se eu me deitar bem silenciosa
Sei que o que eu faço não é certo
Não consigo parar o que eu amo fazer
Então eu mato o amor à noite
Vendo-os cair um por um, eles lutam
Você acha que me amará também?

Querido, eu sou uma sociopata
Doce assassina em série
A caminho da guerra
Porque eu te amo um pouco demais
Eu te amo um pouco demais (demais, demais)

Você pode me ver bebendo Coca-Cola
Doce assassina em série
Deixei um bilhete de amor
Disse, você sabe que eu amo a emoção do ataque
Você sabe que eu amo a emoção do ataque

(Você me manda direto para o paraíso)
Doce assassina em série
(Acho que o verei de novo)
Faço isso pela emoção do ataque
Te amo um pouco demais, demais

(Você me manda direto para o paraíso)
Doce assassina em série
(Acho que o verei de novo)
Eu te amo um pouco demais
Te amo um pouco demais, demais

Meu fogo sombrio está queimando intensamente
Talvez eu saia hoje à noite
Podemos pintar a cidade de azul
Estou tão quente, eu pego fogo
Dançando no escuro e eu brilho
Como uma luz, estou te atraindo

Me aproximo de você bem silenciosa
Sussurro, eu sou o que seu coração deseja?
Eu posso ser sua jovem inocente
Te manter seguro e inspirado
Querido, deixe suas fantasias se desenrolarem
Podemos fazer o que você quiser

Querido, eu sou uma sociopata
Doce assassina em série
A caminho da guerra
Porque eu te amo um pouco demais
Eu te amo um pouco demais (demais, demais)

Você pode me ver bebendo Coca-Cola
Doce assassina em série
Deixei um bilhete de amor
Disse, você sabe que eu amo a emoção do ataque
Você sabe que eu amo a emoção do ataque (ataque, ataque)

(Você me manda direto para o paraíso)
Doce assassina em série
(Acho que o verei de novo)
Faço isso pela emoção de tudo
Te amo um pouco demais, demais

(Você me manda direto para o paraíso)
Doce assassina em série
(Acho que o verei de novo)
Eu te amo um pouco demais
Te amo um pouco demais, demais

Apenas se divirta
(Quero brincar com você como um gameboy)
Eu não quero um
(Qual é a emoção do mesmo brinquedo?)
La-la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la, se deite, deite

Apenas se divirta
(Quero brincar com você como um gameboy)
Eu não quero um
(Qual é a emoção do mesmo brinquedo?)
La-la, la-la, la, la-la, la-la, se deite, deite
Oh!

Você pode me ver bebendo Coca-Cola
Doce assassina em série
Deixei um bilhete de amor
Disse, você sabe que eu amo a emoção do ataque
Você sabe que eu amo a emoção do ataque

(Você me manda direto para o paraíso)
Doce assassina em série
(Acho que o verei de novo)
Faço isso pela emoção de tudo
Te amo um pouco demais, demais

(Você me manda direto para o paraíso)
Doce assassina em série
(Acho que o verei de novo)
Eu te amo um pouco demais
Te amo um pouco demais, demais

@user-hk8yp7cw1v

No, it wasn't unreleased...It was recorded as one of the first tracks for Del Rey's second studio album, Born to Die (2012) but didn't make the cut. The lyrics and musical composition are attributed to Del Rey and Peter Ibsen.
