Snakes Lyrics
I got a problem with the snakes that are crawlin
Through my area when the darkness has fallen
And Momma told me that they love to bite
They stab you in the back no shame
that's right, what, what
I keep my distance cause they're makin me crazy
Stealin from me, you know those f***ers are lazy
My blood boils, fat turns to oil
Step the f*** back or you'll get buried in soil
Over drama, or you could sleep with the fishes
My clutches are tight and I'll take your last wishes
One for your money
Two for your girl
Three for your life
Now I f***ed up your world
Do you like how it feels
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the
back then watch the blood spill?
I don't like how it feels check it
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the
back then watch the blood spill?
Break it down
Yo, it's kinda funny how you're runnin your mouth man
You're caught in a lie and then there's no way out, come on
Betray your friends and your peeps and your family
Livin like a snake Livin like a bloody thief
Check my speech cuz it's deep like the sea
From me to y’all, and then from y’all back to me, Ha!
Danger danger, slay snakes like a ranger
Military style fears god not a stranger
Now tell me, tell me who's crew’s sicker?
Mine's sicker, get on your knees you be a d*** licker
One for your money
Two for your girl
Three for your life
Now I f***ed up your world
Check it!
Do you like how it feels
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the
back then watch the blood spill?
I don't like how it feels, check it
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the
back then watch the blood spill?
Do you like how it feels?
I don’t like how it feels!
I don't like it
I don't want it
I don't need it
I don't like it
I don't want it
I don't need it
What the f*** is up?
Do you like how it feels
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the
back then watch the blood spill?
Do you like how it feels?
I don’t like how it feels to be bit in the
neck by the snake that kills
By the snake that kills
By the snake that kills
Through my area when the darkness has fallen
And Momma told me that they love to bite
They stab you in the back no shame
that's right, what, what
I keep my distance cause they're makin me crazy
Stealin from me, you know those f***ers are lazy
My blood boils, fat turns to oil
Step the f*** back or you'll get buried in soil
Over drama, or you could sleep with the fishes
My clutches are tight and I'll take your last wishes
One for your money
Two for your girl
Three for your life
Now I f***ed up your world
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?

snakes = a metaphor for gangs/criminals (or just bad people in general). The song is about Jacoby's hatred for these thugs/gang members. This makes a lot of sense as he grew up without much money and likely in the ghetto.
"I got a problem with the snakes that are crawling Through my area when the darkness has fallen" -gangs and criminals mostly operate at night
"Momma told me that they love to bite" -parents are always advising their kids to avoid gangs and criminal activity because they are dangerous....like a snakes bite
"They'll stab you in the back, no shame that's right, what, what? I keep my distance cause they're making me crazy And stealing from me, you know those fuckers are lazy My blood boils fat turns to oil" -displays his distain towards criminals
"Step the fuck back, or you'll get buried in soil Over drama, or you could sleep with the fishes My clutches are tight and I'll take your last wishes One for the money, two for your girl Three for your life now I fucked up your world" -describes the mindset of a gang member or thug: killing and stealing without boundaries
The chorus reemphasizes Jacoby's hatred for criminals, and the second verse is another perfect description of the mind of a gang member. These lyrics are far superior to anything that Papa Roach has ever written. Of course, Last Resort gets all the publicity, yet songs like Snakes and Revenge are what really deserve the attention on Infest.
This song is about People who fuckin' turn on you in a second and stab you in the back...
wow....nice one
Judging from your last posts, I figure you being incredibly sarcastic with that last one... So I'm just going to say a couple things...
Go to hell...
Ntah!
Stabbed in the 'neck'. Not back.
No, bit in the neck is a reference to, of course, a snake bite. I'm pretty sure if you get bit in the neck by a venomous snake it's a lethal blow, you're dead almost immediately. I think what's being said here is "since you fucked me over, I'm going to fuck you right back worse then you'd ever imagine."
This song to me really expresses anger towards people who pretend to be your friends, then in an instant, fuck you over and stab you in the back! The snakes part, though, is kinda confusing to me, but I'm sure someone will reassure me. Still a bad ass song from Papa Roach back in the day...
IVE GROWN TO ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!! I LOVE THE BEGINNING CUZ U CAN MOSH ALOT TO IT WHEN BUCKNER HITS THOSE TOMS AND THEN SLAMS THE CRASH CYMBAL ITS A SEA OF MOSHES!! ITS ONE OF MY 5FAVORITE PAPA ROACH SONGSNOW..
