Animal Kingdom feat. Dontez

[Intro]
Welcome to Melbourne ecstasy capital
The ugly reality of Melbourne after dark
Another night in Melbourne another violent assault in the CBD
The shadow of gang land killings hangs over Melbourne once more tonight
Criminal steez and hustle for the long
Violent security video has captured some of Melbourne's most notorious underworld figures brawling at Crown casino a courts been told the fight broke out as an alleged hit man was celebrating his birthday
Two young constables were raced to hospital but they were dead on arrival both had been shot in the head with a shotgun
Crime after crime, drugs to extortion

[Verse 1: Trem]
Aiyyo, the streets in my city scapes littered with pigs
Another 6 year old kid's at the clinic with a needle stick
Junkie fucks jab veins in the back lanes
Pipes and ice turn a nice type to crack slave
A gat is spraying in a cafe in broad day
Could've walked that hallway but rap was my forte
I'm calling the sorts that kept me on the real and narrow
Night times, writing rhymes, days, wheeling barrows
I kept my head up above the rising tide
And went when my best was sentenced to time inside
For dumb shit, pull guns to pull funds quick
A couple hund' ain't worth the 20 months my dun did
18 spent in the pen with grown men
Stone killers and blue stone fences hold him in
The beast belly, with a thief celly and a cheap telly
Slept with a shiv, rigged and ready in the shitty beddy

[Hook: Dontez]
Pigs, dogs, jacks, crooks and crumbs
Hammerheads creep the seabeds and seeds get shoved
Snakes hug the pavement and pups get drowned
Pigs in cages, crabs in buckets of litigation
Animal kingdom, every corner is contagious
The good with the bad, the instincts of nature
Blood on your dresser, knife in your hand
Are you the victim or the victor, the wolf or the lamb?

[Verse 2: Trem]
Now this the land where they catch and kill their own
Prone to shoot, no dispute, it's the home of atonement too
Jacks for reach, cruel captains are pack-made
Ecstasy capital, renowned for our smack trades
Homeless zone in a chrome-fueled haze
All hopes soon fades when there's no 2 ways out this system
Kids watching mum on the nod again
Straight past the stop, hope to cut off the cop again
A copper van street-sweeping for drunk youths
And drug mules are getting meat-cleavered in run throughs
My son boobs in a not-so-safe house
H'd out on the couch instead of watching for stakeouts
Now, I stay out, looking in for the most part
Peddled smoke and copped an unlawful assault charge
Sourcing blow hard, lose a hand to loan sharks
But they ain't show you this side of the city on them postcards

[Hook: Dontez]
Pigs, dogs, jacks, crooks and crumbs
Hammerheads creep the seabeds and seeds get shoved
Snakes hug the pavement and pups get drowned
Pigs in cages, crabs in buckets of litigation
Animal kingdom, every corner is contagious
The good with the bad, the instincts of nature
Blood on your dresser, knife in your hand
Are you the victim or the victor, the wolf or the lamb?

[Verse 3: Trem]
My other man did a stint in the can for the shit he ran
In the state, in a hired Mitsubishi van
It's desperate measures when the wife's preggers
But the family plans had the brakes put on 'em like pedders
??? to the end, "no comment" the code to follow
Pros and cons leave a martyr with no tomorrow
Borrowed times got expiry dates
Vindicated with their choice of either wrought iron or fiery gates
High stakes, that's why these snakes slither
On the banks of the Yarra, sticking unsuspecting day trippers
Saints for sinners, rock, paper, pingers
Chicks clubbing, shoveling their shnoz chock of paint stripper
This is Melbourne where the guns are drawn and
Knife fights and ice pipes come as normal
As the wild thunderstorms and a Nylex clock face
Pyrex pots bake rocks top of hot plates

[Hook: Dontez]
Pigs, dogs, jacks, crooks and crumbs
Hammerheads creep the seabeds and seeds get shoved
Snakes hug the pavement and pups get drowned
Pigs in cages, crabs in buckets of litigation
Animal kingdom, every corner is contagious
The good with the bad, the instincts of nature
Blood on your dresser, knife in your hand
Are you the victim or the victor, the wolf or the lamb?

[Outro]
I know a child that's running wild
They got the whole drug shit to a science

There was also shots fired with another weapon, probably his own service revolver
