Not for kids

Extreme violence, heavy profanity, drug use, sexual vulgarity

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics from Run the Jewels contain extremely mature and disturbing content across nearly every category of concern. There is pervasive explicit profanity throughout. Violence is a dominant theme, including references to punching animals, choking, shooting a baby duck, cutting someone's chest, murdering, burning villages, and giving a child a gun. Drug references include cocaine, smoking, and references to 'Mollies' (MDMA). There is sexual content including crude euphemisms ('bag of dicks'), references to sexual acts ('fuck your bitch'), and a deeply disturbing allusion to Trump sexually abusing his youngest child. There are also references to robbery, criminal behavior, and glorification of chaos and violence. The tone is aggressive, nihilistic, and intentionally provocative. This content is wholly unsuitable for minors and would be considered extreme even for many adults.
