About This Track

'Chokehold Cherry Python' by Ashnikko is a 2023 pop track from the album 'WEEDKILLER'. The lyrics revel in a menacing, self-mythologising swagger, positioning the narrator as an urgent threat, a villain icon, and a performer who demands silence and attention, before pivoting into a grimy death-and-decay chant. One line stands out as a taunt, “chokehold cherry python”, with the rest of the verse built from rapid-fire boasts and mock commands, creating a deliberately confrontational atmosphere. It sounds like a character monologue set to pop momentum.

"Chokehold Cherry Python" is a track by Ashnikko, from the album WEEDKILLER, released 24th August 2023. The track is 2:40 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 18 articles about Ashnikko.

Lyrics

Chokehold Cherry Python

I'm a tickin', tickin', tickin' time bomb
Live a villain, die a icon
You should sleep with the light on
Chokehold cherry python

Shut up, be quiet
Watch me go, go geyser
Demidevil, I'm a liar
I'm the team's best hitter

Hey, hey, death and decay
Hey, hey, go get 'em
Hey, hey, blood on my face
Hey, hey, go get 'em

I'm a tickin', tickin', tickin' time bomb
Live a villain, die a icon
You should sleep with the light on
Chokehold cherry python

Shut up, be quiet
Watch me go, go geyser
Demidevil, I'm a liar
I'm the team's best hitter

Menacing figures fall from the sky
Symbols and sigils, I saw the signs
Rats in the sewers, death on the mind
I've set my sights on you, baby, you're mine

I'm a tickin', tickin', tickin' time bomb
Live a villain, die a icon
You should sleep with the light on
Chokehold cherry python

Shut up, be quiet
Watch me go, go geyser
Demidevil, I'm a liar
I'm the team's best hitter

Hey, hey, death and decay
Hey, hey, go get 'em
Hey, hey, blood on my face
Hey, hey, go get 'em

I'm a tickin', tickin', tickin' time bomb
Live a villain, die a icon
You should sleep with the light on
Chokehold cherry python

Shut up, be quiet
Watch me go, go geyser
Demidevil, I'm a liar
I'm the team's best hitter

I'm a tickin', tickin', tickin' time bomb
Live a villain, die a icon
You should sleep with the light on
Chokehold cherry python (ah)

Shut up, be quiet
Watch me go, go geyser
Demidevil, I'm a liar
I'm the team's best hitter

Two years ago, **Ashnikko** announced a trio of shows at London’s Omeara in support of their ‘Hi, It’s Me’ EP. Over those three nights, they were set to play to just under 1,000 people before the global pandemic put a stop to those plans. Tonight, one mixtape and a handful of singles later, Ashnikko finally gets to play a headline show in her adopted hometown of London.
