Violent Crimes lyrics

[Intro: 070 Shake]

Fallin', dreamin', talkin' in your sleep

I know you want to cry all night, all night

Plottin', schemin', finding

Reason to defend all of your violent nights

Promise me

[Chorus: 070 Shake]

Don't you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, aw

It was all part of the story, even the scary nights

Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, aw

Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (night, night)

They gotta repeat the colors, the lie is wearin' off

Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off

Colors drippin' off

[Verse: Kanye West]

Niggas is savage, niggas is monsters

Niggas is pimps, niggas is players

'Til niggas have daughters, now they precautious

Father forgive me, I'm scared of the karma

'Cause now I see women as somethin' to nurture

Not somethin' to conquer

I hope she like Nicki, I'll make her a monster

Not havin' ménages, I'm just being silly

I answered the door, like Will Smith and Martin

Nigga do we have a problem?

Matter of fact Marlon, this ain't Meet the Fockers

I'll beat his ass, pray I beat the charges

No, daddy don't play, not when it come to they daughters

Don't do no yoga, don't do pilates

Just play piano and stick to karate

I pray your body's draped more like mine and not like your mommy's

Just bein' salty, but niggas is nuts

And I am a nigga, I know what they want

I pray that you don't get it all at once

Curves under your dress, I know it's pervs all on the net

All in the comments, you wanna vomit

That's your baby, you love her to death

Now she cuttin' class and hangin' with friends

You break a glass and say it again

She can't comprehend the danger she's in

If you whoop her ass, she move in with him

Then he whoop her ass, you go through it again

But how you the devil rebukin' the sin?

Let's pray we can put this behind us

I swear that these times is the wildest

She got the scars, they serve as reminders

Blood still on her pajamas, but yesterday is dead, yeah

Moment of silence, next she'll be off to college and then at the altar

'Cause she know that niggas is savage, niggas is monsters

Niggas is pimps, niggas is players, 'til niggas have daughters

Niggas is pimps, niggas is players, 'til niggas have daughters

[Chorus: 070 Shake & Ty Dolla Sign]

Don't you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, aw

It was all part of the story, even the scary nights

Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, aw

Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (night, night)

They gotta repeat the colors, the lie is wearin' off

Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off

Colors drippin' off

[Outro: Nicki Minaj]

I'm sayin' it like...

I want a daughter like Nicki, aww man, I promise

I'ma turn her to a monster, but no menagés

I don't know how you saying it, but let 'em hear this
