I got a taste for waste and a taste and a blood
Murder I heard her when she screamed the "Drop!"
Cause her son caught the slug.
Relate this to no choice
And listen to this straight-up man before they ban the voice
While I ride to the rhythm of a pop
Remember the first n***a that run is the first to get shot
Whoever said that what I say and betray is negativity
Need to come kick it in the city with me
And find the black and crack and fact
And take that sh** back cuz they don't wanna f** with that
There's too many n***as they're tryin' to calm
If motherf**ers could get it, nobody would've f** with it
Appetite for destruction,
For him to get a bit more sh** he gotta commit,
Murder in the first degree, a man slaughter
Takin' the life of his wife and young daughter
A whole city of b**hes they look s**ed up
And the n***as is k**in' it's straight f**ed up
Whoever sayin' what I'm sayings for greed
Then I ain't even what they're tryin' to feed my appetite for destruction
You guys know who I'm talkin' to
That Appetite is tremendous
So I'm gonna spin this
Try for some violence because they ax me to end this
Some trouble that I caught cause I was noisy
A n***a tried to take advantage because I'm the kamikaze
He took de swing from my hand, thought I was faded
Start runnin' for the door but the f**er never made it
The sound of the 9 went bang!
And all over the wall was his motherf**ing brain
Cause I'm a n***a you can't sleep on
So set the alarm, 'cause I hit like a motherf**in' bomb
I do damage with a 9 in my hand
But the average n***a that don't know me don't understand
I'm from the streets so therefore
You know I don't care for
A s**er that ain't down with the real n***as the n***as the n***as yo
And that's the way this sh** gotta go, and even so
But any time that the 9 wanna leave
I got a .38 hidden up the sleeve
And it's ready to go to war cause that's what it's here for
I shoot down a million n***as and shoot one more
And that's a million and one
That couldn't hang with the appetite
Cause they wasn't rappin' right
So I had to destroy whoever was standin' in my presence
For f**in' up da essence appetite for destruction
"They put a hurtin' on your a**, man, you know, they realy degrade you,
White folks don't believe that sh**, don't believe that cops degrade you,
Oh come on, those people, those people was resistin' arrest"
