What constitutes a "violent" lyric? Here are some lyrics that have led to controversy over the past few years...
When I greet ya, meet ya with pound, Not the handshake, but the kind that make ya demand a wake The kind that put land over your face I pop ya, let doctors stitch ya I-N-F-R-A, will not miss ya
Jay-Z "Squeeze First"
It's just one of those days Feelin' like a freight train First one to complain Leaves with a blood stain Damn right I'm a maniac You better watch your back
Limp Bizkit "Break Stuff"
white trash get down on your knees,
time for cake and sodomy
time for cake and sodomy
Marilyn Manson "Cake and Sodomy"
goddamn your righteous hand
i eat innocent meat
the housewife i will beat
the prolife i will kill
what you won't do i will...
i throw a little fit
i slit my teenage wrist
the most that i can learn
is in records that you burn
Marilyn Manson "Get Your Gunn"
I put my Glock to your dome and you started to cry Boom biddy bye bye Any last prayers before you die
Cypress Hill "Boom biddy Bye Bye"
Slut, you think I won't choke no whore til the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more?!... Texas Chainsaw, left his brains all danglin from his neck, while his head barely hangs on Blood, guts, guns, cuts Knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts
Eminem "Kill You"
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me...Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Eminem "Stan"
One nation under a groove gettin down for the funk of it Tear the roof of this mother like we did last night son And hit you with the bop gun
Ice Cube "Bop Gun"
I despise your killing, and raping You're... despicable Are you, my judge? It's just... you should be punished I'm going to chop off your arm, so are you ready?
Wu-Tang "Severe Punishment"
