Genocide
Unwritten Law Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well who are you what do you know
And I guess it only goes to show
Don't think you're ready for the fall
Do you think you really wanta play
Cause we do this every fucking day
And we're gonna lay down the law
You're outdrawn
...Let's go outside, we'll crucify
...But you're not there
You don't wanna cross the line boy
It will you your genocide
Your genocide
Do you think you really wanna throw
Cause you know UL is five and zero
Toe to toe and that shit is for real
You better pray to God up in the sky
Tuck your tail between your legs and hide
Get ready 'cause here comes the drill
And we got skill
You're standing there
Like we're gonna be all scared
Come now
And I don't really wanna brag




But my whole city's got my back
And we're all ready to attack

The lyrics of Unwritten Law's Genocide are full of bravado and aggression, with a strong message that they will not tolerate any disrespect or opposition. The opening lines of the song, "Well who are you what do you know And I guess it only goes to show Don't think you're ready for the fall," suggest that the singer is addressing someone who is getting in their way, and implying that they will face consequences. The chorus, "You don't wanna cross the line boy; It will be your genocide," makes it clear that crossing these people has dire consequences.


The lyrics are peppered with violent imagery, such as "Let's go outside, we'll crucify," and "Get ready 'cause here comes the drill", which add to the sense of physical intimidation. The repeated references to the fact that "UL is five and zero" suggest that the singer is part of a gang, and they are not to be messed with.
