Appetite 4 Destruction

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I got a taste for waste and a taste and a blood

Murder I heard her when she screamed the "Drop!"

Cuz her son caught the slug.

Relate this to no choice

And listen to this straight-up man before they ban the voice

While I ride to the rythem of a pop

Remember the first nigga that run is the first to get shot

Whoever said that what I say and betray is negativity

Need to come kick it in the city with me

And find the black and crack and fact

And take that shit back cuz they don't wanna fuck with that

There's too many niggaz they're tryin' to calm

If mothafuckaz could get it, nobody would've fuck with it

Appetite for destruction -

For him to get a bit more shit he gotta commit -

Murder in the first degree - a man slaughter

Takin' the life of his wife and young daughter

A whole city of bitches they look sucked up

And the niggaz iz killin' it's straight fucked up

Whoever sayin' what I'm sayin'z for greed

Then I aint even what they're tryin' to feed my appetite for destruction

" .. you gotta know I'm talkin' to .. "

That Appetite is tremendous

So I'm gonna spin this

Try for some violence because they ax me to end this

Some trouble that I caught cuz I was noisy

A nigga tried to take advantage because I'm de kamikazi

He took de swing from my hand - thought I was faded

Start runnin' for the door but the fucker never made it

The sound of the 9 went BANG [shot]

And all over the wall was his mothafuckin' brain

Cuz I'm a nigga you can't sleep on

So set the alarm, cuz I hit like a mothafuckin' bomb

I do damage with a 9 in my hand

But the average nigga that don't know me don't understand

I'm from the streets so therefore

You know I don't care for

A sucker that ain't down with the real niggaz the niggaz the niggaz yo

And that's the way this shit gotta go, and even so

But any time that the 9 wanna leave

I got a .38 hidden up the sleeve

And it's ready to go to war cuz that's what it's here for

I shoot down a milion niggaz and shoot one more

And that's a milion and one

That couldn't hang with the appetite

Cuz they wasn't rappin' right

So I had to destroy whoever was standin' in my presence

For fuckin' up da essence appetite for destruction

"They put a hurtin' on your ass, man, you know, they realy degrade you,

White folks don't believe that shit, don't believe that cops degrade you,

Oh come on, those people, those people was resistin' arrest"

Check it out y'all, in de house y'all

So I can show and flow and let the people know

So won't you ease on down to the yellow brick road to Compton

But first let me tell you somethin' -

I possess the 10 commandments of the Hip Hop Thugster,

Known as a thief and murderer :

First one -

Alibi a nigga with an attitude

Gotta get respected, break your mothafuckin' neck

Second one -

Allwayz gotta fuck outta wedlock

I like it when the pussy goes snap crackle and pop

Number three -

I'm a gangsta fanatic

I smoke any foolz tryin' to cause some static

Number four -

Here's what's in store

A crazy-ass nigga that remains hard core

Fifth one -

My killings just begun

I pulled out my gun, now they keep me on the run

Step six -

Hmmm, it's kinda tricky -

Can't forget that I'm mothafuckin' chickenshit

To the ones who tries to play the E -

By the time you reach Seven you'll be 6 feet deep

Number eight -

Make no mistake,

Move real sneaky and you're bound to catch yo' pray

Ninth one -

I gotta be raw, fuck any brain-washing man made law

Last but not least, I must be real -

Number ten - is my appetite for des...
