Paint a Dark Picture
Tech N9ne Feat. The Dirtball Lyrics

Man lives
Humans exist

In a sun lit world
Humans live in a bright, optimistic world

Of what he believes to be reality
People think that their perceptions of the world are true

But
However

There is unseen by most
There is an unknown world that most people are not aware of

An underworld that is just as real
This unknown world is just as real as the known world

But not as brightly lit a
It is not as optimistic as the known world

Darkside
This unknown world is darker, hence it is called the 'Darkside'

I can write a verse and take the sun away...darkness
The artist can create a song that can turn the optimistic world into a darker one

Say good bye to light because it's gone today...darkness
The song will make people lose their optimistic view of the world

Ain't no smiling happiness is done away...darkness
People will no longer be happy due to the dark world portrayed in the song

Watch me paint a pic that'll make you run away...darkness
The artist will create a dark picture that will make people want to flee

I don't really give of fuck what you think of me I had it up to here. Yep.
The artist doesn't care what others think and is fed up

Follow me into another di-mention of insanity's right here. Step...
The artist is asking the audience to join him in a world of madness

I know your feelin' it I'm lovin' you when I'm kissin' n fuckin' you n in a minute I'm a veer left
The artist knows the audience is enjoying the song but it will take a darker turn soon

An by the pluck of the jugular see the blood of my lover and then I finish when your near death
The artist is talking about hurting someone and enjoying it

I'm sorry but I mean it 'cause when I got the tool on bitch
The artist is not really apologetic and is referring to a weapon

I got bulimic up in her like a gynecologist with a penis
The artist is making a vulgar joke about sexual acts

And when they bled on me I was giddy and never squeamish.
The artist enjoys violence and gore

Bad as a demon I cannot get rid of her I really rely on the feelin' of the sex an the red of a woman.
The artist is demonizing himself and admits to relying on violent feelings during sex

Can I take a bite of your cerebellum
The artist is making a disturbing request to bite someone's brain

I think it'll really get me up if I could be suckin' your seratonin.
The artist is making a vulgar joke about neurochemicals

Id rather just die than inflict any pain on somebody who truly put trusted me
The artist is pretending to be righteous but is actually violent and untrustful

Better yet I just make her the suffer who taught me mocked me n fucked with me
The artist is threatening someone who wronged him in the past

Maybe get up in the club and shoot it up and make 'em panic at the disco...(backwards)
The artist is suggesting a violent act in a public place

You don't want me to start with, cha
The artist is warning the audience that his dark side is not something they want to witness

Don't want me commin' with the heart, hit cha
The artist will come with a violent heart

Chew you up and if you really tart, spit cha
The artist will consume and dispose of his victims like a food item

After the brain I put the lemon moraine in
The artist is making a disturbing reference to disposing of body parts

Blood of a dame is what I drain my fang's in
The artist enjoys taking advantage of women and the power it gives him

Takin' the spirit and the body it came in
The artist is talking about taking someone's whole being

Away from the sun n forever you can remain in
The artist will take someone to the darker side of the world

When I'm all up on a pallet a pain with blood of my name in vain sun up in it
The artist is imagining a violent scenario with blood and pain

I'mna break it down the walls n try to stop me from poppin' my gun up in it
The artist will break down barriers in order to use his weapon

Skits onta me honor me for the time never given to the rhyme
The artist is talking about getting respect for his violent actions

In another mind lookin' like a nice guy
The artist hides his dark side well

Behind the face be the beast of another mutha fucka that be heard the least
The artist shows a good face but is really an evil person

So many here me when I say they can, that I remember everybody that layd me astray. Yo fuckem
The artist is angry at those who hurt him and will have revenge

Nobody but my closest know about my darkness and when they fall away. Yo fuckem
The artist is saying that even his closest friends don't truly know him

I'm to sick that I never checked outta my mental-ward working in Sweden
The artist is implying that he should be in a mental institution

Burin' the bodies this song made my memory feedm ghost made me loud and I'm proud I can see them
The artist is saying that the song helped him remember violent acts and he is proud of it

I don't even wanna talk about it but I do it for the demons and the devils alive
The artist is saying he does violent acts for a dark force or entity

Hopin' that the nonbelievers get a number two in the eye please try to die save me the time
The artist is hoping those who don't believe in him will die

When I make a move when I'm comin' through I'm a stay devoted to rhyme [x9]
The artist uses his musical talent to express his violent thoughts

Devoted to mine hex sign ruda wicked I'm a be forever de-dine
The artist is saying he will be evil forever

Picture this my wrist silt pissed off I'm hangin' from a meat hook

Yo I'm bangin' on a meat hook it's the twist this chapter

Ya miss the darker the venom of a main hook book

I'm tellin' everybody I'm not doin' so well I'm feelin' my noggin to you better watch ya self

Sub-noise when I'm bangin' on a tech set best believe the dark times are here my lips eclipse

I'm your worst fear
The artist is saying that he is what people fear the most

I'm your favorite
The artist is suggesting that people like his violent ideas

I'm your acquired taste
The artist is saying that people eventually become used to his violent thoughts

The artist is asking if people will enjoy his violent ideas

If it blood thirst will you run from it
The artist is asking if people will be afraid of his violent tendencies

No need cause I'm inside of you
The artist is suggesting that his dark ideas are already within the audience

When the sun is spit
When the artist's violent ideas are expressed

The artist is saying that his violent thoughts are inevitable

When you have a evil you cannot report
The artist is saying that his violent thoughts cannot be reported to anyone
