## Songtekst

[Inleiding]

*I got a song filled with shit for the strong-willed*
*When the world gives you a raw deal*
*Set you off till you scream, "Piss off! Screw you!"*
*When it talks to you like you don't belong*
*Or tells you you're in the wrong field*
*When's something's in your mitochondrial*
'*Cause it latched on to you, like—*
[Vers 1]

*Knock knock, let the devil in*
*Malevolent as I've ever been, head is spinnin'*
*This medicine's screamin', "L-l-l-let us in!"*
*L-l-lick like a salad bowl, Edgar Allen Poe*
*Bedridden, shoulda been dead a long time ago*
*Liquid Tylenol, gelatins, think my skeleton's meltin'*
*Wicked, I get all high when I think I've smelled the scent*
*Of elephant manure—hell, I meant Kahlúa*
*Screw it, to hell with it, I went through hell with accelerants*
  *And blew up my-my-myself again*
*Volkswagen, tailspin, bucket matches my pale skin*
*Medal win, went from Hellmann's and being rail thin*
*Filet-o-Fish, to Scribbles and Rap Olympics '97 Freaknik*
*How can I be down? Me and Bizarre in Florida*
*Proof's room slept on floor of the motel then*
*Dr. Dre said, "Hell yeah"*
*And I got his stamp like a postcard, word to Mel-Man*
*And I know they're gonna hate*
*But I don't care, I barely could wait*
*To hit them with the snare and the bass*
*Square in the face, this fuckin' world better prepare to get laced*
*Because they're gonna taste my—*
[Refrein]

*Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum*
*Venom, not knowin' with 'em*
*Never gonna slow up in 'em*
*Ready to snap any moment-um*
*Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em*
*They ain't gonna know what hit 'em*
*(When they get bitten with the—)*
*Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum*
*Venom, not knowin' with 'em*
*Never gonna slow up in 'em*
*Ready to snap any moment-um*
*Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em*
*They ain't gonna know what hit 'em*
*(When they get bit with the—)*
[Vers 2]

*I said knock knock, let the devil in*
*Shotgun p-p-pellets in the felt pen*
*Cocked, fuck around and catch a hot one*
*I-i-it's evident I'm not done*
*V-venomous, the thought spun*
*Like your web and you just caught in 'em*
*Held against your will like a hubcap or a mud flap*
*Be strangled or attacked*
*So this ain't gonna feel like a love tap*
*Eat painkiller pills, fuck a blood track*
*Like, what's her name's at the wheel? Danica Patrick*
*Throw the car into reverse at the Indy, end up crashin'*
*Into ya, the back of it—just mangled steel*
*My Mustang and your Jeep Wrangler grill*
*With the front smashed, much as my rear fender, assassin*
*Slim be a combination of an actual kamikaze and Gandhi*
*Translation, I will probably kill us both*
*When I end up back in India*
*You ain't gonna be able to tell what the fuck's happening*
*To you when you're bit with the—*
[Refrein]

*Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum*
*Venom, not knowin' with 'em*
*Never gonna slow up in 'em*
*Ready to snap any moment-um*
*Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em*
*They ain't gonna know what hit 'em*
*(When they get bitten with the—)*
*Venom, (I got that) adrenaline momentum*
*Venom, not knowin' with 'em*
*Never gonna slow up in 'em*
*Ready to snap any moment-um*
*Thinkin' it's time to go get 'em*
*They ain't gonna know what hit 'em*
*(When they get bit with the—)*
[Vers 3]

*I said knock knock, let the devil in*
*Alien, E-E-Elliot phone home*
*Ain't no telling when this chokehold*
*On this game will end, I'm loco*
*Became a Symbiote, so*
*My fangs are in your throat, ho*
*You're snake bitten with my—venom*
*With the ballpoint pen I'm*
*Gun cock, bump stock, devil eye, buckshot*
*Tied for the uppercut, tie a couple knots*
*Fired up a Glock, fire, juggernaut*
*Punk rock, bitches goin' down like Yung Joc*
'*Cause the Doc put me on like sunblock*
*Why the fuck not? You only get one shot*
*Ate shit 'til I can't taste it*
*Chased it with straight liquor*
*Then paint thinner then drank 'til I faint*
*And I wait with a headache*
*And I take anything in rectangular shape*
*Then I wait to face the demons I'm bonded to*
'*Cause they're chasin' me but I'm part of you*
*So escapin' me is impossible*
*I latch onto you like a—parasite*
*And I probably ruined your parents' life*
*And your childhood too*
'*Cause if I'm the music that y'all grew up on*
*I'm responsible for you retarded fools*
*I'm the super villain Dad and Mom was losin' their marbles to*
*You marvel that? Eddie Brock is you*
*And I'm the suit, so call me—*
