I suggested at a truce you spat out some excuse, you're violent, violent
They don't like you hanging round, you're bleeding on their ruby ground, you're violent, violent
Took you to a part of town when amber calming people down it's no use, you're violent
Just what everybody needs another fucking gallery you're violent, vi-o-lent
We'll take your dreams or lack of money
We'll take your dreams or lack of money (violent)
We'll take your dreams (violent) or lack of money (violent)
We'll take your dreams (violent) or lack of money (violent)
You would always around the dangerous part of town for some excuse for violence
Bumping into those with bling, bling on their wrists you're violent, violent
Mum said keep an eye on you, she's scared of what you might do, your future is over
I would be amazed if you made it past 25 you're violent, vi-o-lent
We'll take your dreams or lack of money
We'll take your dreams or lack of money (violent)
We'll take your dreams (violent) or lack of money (violent)
We'll take your dreams (violent) or lack of money (violent)
Introduce you some new friends, that would be the end of them, you're violent, you'd eat them
Gave you a chance to be a part of their society it's no use, you'd eat them
People would run away, when your rage would hit the stage, you're violent, violent
Demonic males are bound to fail, in the ground or in jail, violent, vi-o-lent
We'll take your dreams or lack of money
