lyrics

DEADLY VENOM

[Sloane Amelia]

So I’m stepping up into this rap game

Giving the business a new name

To hate on to envy

Patience running on empty

I’m tired of the radio commercial bull

New order in full effect

Non negotiable

Respect or hit the road that’s not cold

I’m just real

I Call it how I see it, fuck artificial appeal

Stay def to the death of me

Yeah I’ll forever be

Slaying all these wannabe emcees

Killing em with ease

I arrive on the scene fully equipped

With a full clip of lyrics to silence the ignorance

So sick when I spit I admit I transmit

Some knowledge that may cause vomit if you marinate on it

I target every bit of bullshit in my path so try to cross the boss and get that red beam on ya ass wit a laugh

no I don’t chase the cash I just chase the facts

spread that info for the payback

them mother fuckers hate that

Chorus:
[Sugg Savage]
The deadly venom, let me start from the beginning

Yo, we always hittin so they’ll be no extra innings

(x2)

From mercury to alcapoco

I can poke your neuro

I aint making euros but I make a lot of sense though

Searching for some change to by a vagrant complacency

We claim to be

We aim to be

The saviors of the sanity

Folks they stare at me

Not cuz of what I’m wearing

But because my mind, projects the raw, they vexed

Push play, relax

As if they said no words to me

Hip hop was never dead to me

Punk rock hip hop and keds to me

Something like wine and bread for me

Blood and body

Boogie said he’d come for me

Lock that door threw away the key

The absence of the fleet can lay the beast to sleep

So put away your peace and grab a hold of the piece

They call me sugga sava

Head thrasher ear drum attacker

Leave ya pissin backwards

I’m a stinker bleeding ink up on your “pledge allegiance”

And I don’t come in pieces

Except me or forget me but play me and you’ll regret me and my…

Deadly Venom

[Chorus]

[Sloane Amelia]

While they in it for the moment

I do this for movement

Cuz talking means nothing unless you back it up and prove it

Truth is, they lay back and flip the script

Capitalizing on lies to try to keep us all whipped

Too hip to the bullshit that they slip into our mental

We dying they thriving keep thinking its coincidental

Take a deep breath

Take a pause

Got you right where they want you

Dangling from their paws

Gotta struggle and hustle to keep your head above the water

Drown in deceit chasing that all mighty dollar

Institutionalized

Cant rationalize

Please open your eyes

And lend me that ear my dear

Don’t believe everything you think

And don’t repeat everything you hear

The mans biggest fears are my biggest dream I’d rather be they’re worse fuckin nightmare

[Sugg Savage]

I’ll slap a perpetrating hippy out my god dam face

If you aint repping for a cause then you a god dam waste

A fro a fist and some hoops don’t make you angela davis

Now check my words and my flow

Let me see how do I say this

Trying to be an anomaly is kind of a contradictory

The swag allah bestowed on thee

Is all you need

Now please believe I’m sneezing steeze in a tissue

With a little spit too

Jam it in your ear canal and infiltrate cerebral

The truth is detrimental and they’re lies are even more so

They feeding you that bull shit and you eating every morsal

Uncle sammies gonna work you til you feel it in your torso

Yes master got you in that choke hold

The penicle of senicle take a hit of the keepers dro

Puff it pass and repeat it

Though high is never achieved

Head up high and my feet down low

We was sent to deplete the foe

Deadly venom and stupid flow
