Lyrics

Violent Hands

So now I know why you're not home
His name don't matter 'cause I know
Where he sleeps and when he's home
That's all right for now and all is well

Don't ask me why, But I don't like this guy
So I call him out on your lawn just to talk

Understand my violent hands gon' try
To stay off of you guy,
Nevermind, you're dying
Face down

And on the ground

No cause for sentiment
Pause or though
Understand my violent hands gon' try
To stay off of you guy,
Nevermind, you're dying
Ain't no lie

Just wait, my man
You're gonna die by my hand
Face down
