Violent Crimes

About Violent Crimes

"Violent Crimes" is a song by American rapper and producer Kanye West, released as the final track on his eighth studio album, Ye (2018). It contains vocals from rappers Ty Dolla Sign and 070 Shake, along with a voicemail message from rapper Nicki Minaj; the voice recording was viewed as possible shade towards American singer Taylor Swift. The song was written by West, Danielle Balbuena, Mike Dean, Kevin Parker, Ginoli, Tyrone Griffin, Jr., Malik Jones, 7 Aurelius, Irving Lorenzo and Jordan Thorpe, but Thorpe, professionally known as Pardison Fontaine, was revealed by West to have contributed to most of the writing and was unhappy with West for revealing this information. The song includes elements of R&B. In his verse on "Violent Crimes", West raps about his feelings towards fathering a daughter. The song was met with generally negative reviews from music critics, with the majority of them criticizing West's rapping and mostly panning his lyricism. However, some critics that generally placed less focus on West's verse expressed more positive feelings. In 2018, the song charted in the United States, Slovakia, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, France, Czech Republic, Canada and Australia. A lyric video for it was released on June 19, 2018. West's choir performed the song during "Sunday Service" in January 2019. It was originally produced as the track "Brothers", which ultimately surfaced online in July 2019. more »

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

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 light is wearin' off
Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off
Colors drippin' off

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' menages
I'm just being silly
I answered the door, like Will Smith and Martin
Nigga do we have a problem?
Matter of fact Marlin, 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 whip her ass, she move in with him
Then he whip 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

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 light is wearin' off
Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off
Colors drippin' off

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
