Vengeance
Young Wicked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the land of the cut throats
You gotta separate the real MC's from the MC gusto
You gon' meet a lot of people but don't ever trust those
Lot of people dressing for the part, but it's just clothes
Ain't nobody 'bout that, truth
If you buying then they selling it to you
I been overwhelmed by all the evil in your crew
So I been getting high and steady yelling in the booth
I know that we all been through the weather, aim for worse or for better
You never let another motherfucker hold you down
So I been bombing out the haters, kill their hustle what I'm saying
Ain't no fucking time for waiting, and it's so true now
I been a prisoner of my own indecision now it's time that I live it
I gotta give 'em the wicked and I won't give up the mission
I swear to God if you dissin' or even hintin' at it
I'm a hit you with some shit to slow you down, playa
And they wondering why my heart so cold
All of the pain within the struggle, and they just don't know
Give 'em my everything into it, with my heart and soul
And I came out even harder, with a darker flow
Leaving pieces of your body out in Parts Unknown
I don't bow to any Kings, I rip apart all thrones
Represent for the oppressed, the underground's my home
And the family has got me homie, never alone

I want vengeance

I been waiting so long to do this man (vengeance)
'Cause them devils all put me through this pain
I bring 'em all to their knees
Won't stop until they all bleed

Karma I want it back
Karma never lies
I got vengeance on my mind
Everybody dies

I said Karma I want it back
Karma never lies
I got vengeance on my mind
Vengeance on my mind

In the land of the shadows
A lot of enemies trying to put out the fire
They don't want us to light the way, or ever get up any higher
We keep climbing the mountain, and we don't ever get tired
Get in my way, and I get violent I could kill 'em with rhyming
Or I could leave him at the mercy of these killers behind me
These motherfuckers are my family but a few of 'em grimey
And they been waiting for someone to bring that evil shit by me
I'm just a free bird
Bass burn all through the speakers
People who start hating on me, better do you research
Keep them heads ringing like I'm tweaking out the reverb
In a two seater, bumpin' "One Less G"
And smoking Colorado reefer, calling me a creature
I wasn't only doubted, I was told I'm moving slower than a balad
And I'm lighter than a salad, Lil' Ceasar
Stay grinding for that crazy bread
But these devil motherfuckers tried to cage me in
So I dug my way out of the fuckin' hate they spread
Now it's time for me to show 'em what the greatness is
If success is the best revenge, then it ain't no doubt
The boy out here seeking vengeance
Cut up the bodies, let the vultures get the remnants
I never start a beef, but you can bet I'm fienin' to end it

I been waiting so long to do this man (vengeance)
'Cause them devils all put me through this pain
I bring 'em all to their knees
Won't stop until they all bleed

Karma I want it back
Karma never lies
I got vengeance on my mind
Everybody dies

I said Karma I want it back
Karma never lies
I got vengeance on my mind
Vengeance on my mind

In the last days, will you be a man?
If it was in your face, would you believe it then?
Them rich men'll get murdered
That cold dish I'ma serve it

I been waiting so long to do this man (vengeance)
'Cause them devils all put me through this pain
I bring 'em all to their knees
Won't stop until they all bleed

Karma I want it back
Karma never lies
I got vengeance on my mind
Everybody dies

I said Karma I want it back
Karma never lies




I got vengeance on my mind
Vengeance on my mind
