I Get Mad
Violent J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my life I′m like a landmine and u a dancing menace
Always stepping all up over me pushin all my buttons
Talk a million words up in my ear and never sayin' nuttin
Always wantin something out of me and never giviN back
Never caring that you bother ME you oughta get a slap
My blood pressure′s high enough to kill me as it is
Im runnin with a short wick and here u all up in my biz
When I unload and finally explode don't act surprised
Like u never seen it comin all my warning whistles blowin
Anger growin no controlling when I′m steam rollin
(CHORUS x2)
I GET MAD! IMA FUCK YOU UP IT S ME AND YOU MUTHA FUCKA
IMA FUCK YOU UP YOU DONE FUCKED UP NOW IMA FUCK YOU UP
AND IMA FUCK YOU UP IMA FUCK YOU UP
Smack your head against the wall hard a couple times
Pick you back up off the floor and throw you into the blind
You fly right out through the window but then I jump out behind you
Kick you in the fukn gut and face when I find you
There′s commotion, people gather watchin you get hurt
Witnessin me stomp your whole head in the dirt
They tell me that's enough then step in, that′s when I draw my weapon
Joe Bruce Lee with numbchucks like this is game of death
I'm splittin skulls so quick its like they barely seen it happen
They grab they head with both hands try to stop it from crackin
Cuz when I lose my cool and blow my top that′s all it takes
Me and you my foot in yo neck, until something breaks
(CHORUS x2)
I GET MAD! IMA FUCK YOU UP, IT S ME AND YOU MUTHA FUCKA,
IMA FUCK YOU UP, YOU DONE FUCKED UP NOW IMA FUCK YOU UP
AND IMA FUCK YOU UP IMA FUCK YOU UP
They hit me wit a tranquilizer dart and shockin me wit tasers
But still I'm throwin kicks and punches faster than lasers
15 coppers on me like a mini fuckin army
They cant harm me cuz I′m madder than a mutant Zombie
One by one I throw them off me like a raging gorilla
Pissed off like a rattle snake, roarin like Godzilla
I flipped they cars over somehow got away clean
I didn't show my painted face again until the Gathering!
(CHORUS x2)
I GET MAD! IMA FUCK YOU UP IT S ME AND YOU MUTHA FUCKA
IMA FUCK YOU UP YOU DONE FUCKED UP NOW IMA FUCK YOU UP
AND IMA FUCK YOU UP IMA FUCK YOU UP!
The lyrics to Violent J's song "I Get Mad" appear to be about the rapper's short temper and tendency to explode in anger when provoked. The lyrics describe the feeling of being constantly pushed and prodded by someone without any regard for how it affects the singer. They use metaphors such as being a landmine and a dancing menace to explain how the singer is always on edge and ready to explode. Even though the person in question never gives back and always wants something from the singer, they don't seem to realize that they're bothering the singer.
The anger described in the song builds up until the singer "unload[s] and finally explode[s]." They understand that their anger is dangerous and can cause harm, as evidenced by their "blood pressure's high enough to kill" and the warning whistles blowing before they explode. When they finally do blow up, they do so in a violent manner, hitting someone's head against the wall and throwing them into objects. Although others might try to step in and stop the singer, they continue to lash out until something breaks.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "I get mad, I'ma fuck you up." This repetition emphasizes how the singer's anger is a constant presence in their life and how it affects their interactions with others. Overall, this song appears to be a warning to others not to push the singer's buttons, as the consequences could be severe.

"burn this whole shit down".... I'd strongly advise that get switched to "I'll burn this whole city down". When it's followed up.with "all of it" just makes more sense
