It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that lyrics written by any artist on Psychopathic Records' roster are going to be darker and more morbid than lyrics written by artists on almost any other label. Let's look at some examples. Instead of pointing out the obvious ICP lyrics, let's examine lyrics to Twiztid songs and lyrics to Boondox songs, both of whom are on Psychopathic Records.

Lyrics to Boondox

Here's a stanza of lyrics to Boondox song "Inbred Evil." In fact, the lyrics to Boondox' "Inbred Evil" that you're about to read are the first words heard by listeners when they hear the song:

"Godforsaken left to rot an orphaned bastard child / mutated product born of incest left out in the wild / a bloody bastard lies abandoned still tied to the cord / open his eyes to see more darkness in an evil world."

As you can imagine, lyrics to Boondox' "Inbred Evil" only get darker from there as the story progresses.

Is there any reason that lyrics to Boondox songs are this way, other than the simple fact that he's a horror rap artist? Nothing to point to in particular, but more broadly one can point to the life he must have led to be able to write lyrics like these. For the story of that life, we need look no further than lyrics to Boondox' "Seven"…

"A Vision of the dead in the inbred I'm Backwoods / Motherf*cker born inside a toolshed / momma never loved me never gave me no attention / daddy was a rapist 30 years up state Fulton County Prison."

This story, biographically accurate or not, speaks to more than just the lyrics to Boondox songs. It also speaks to the unspeakable bond between Psychopathic Records artists and Psychopathic Records fans. This bond is on display annually at Psychopathic Records' Gathering of the Juggalos music festival, where the misunderstood artists and misunderstood fans of the world congregate and enjoy each other.

Lyrics to Twiztid

Now onto lyrics to Twiztid songs. Let's look at lyrics to Twiztid's song "Afraid of Me" for an example…

"Now you can try to sedatae me, assassinate or just hate me / But there's nothing that you can do to me lately / Now I'm greatly accepted in the mind so I'm confused and intertwined / from being rejected so many times, I wanna leave it all behind…"

Lyrics to Twiztid's "Afraid of Me" are not nearly as gruesome or colorful as lyrics to Boondox' "Seven," but lyrics to Twiztid's songs do carry the same theme prevalent in all Psychopathic Records' songs: us against them. Lyrics to Twiztid here, for example, set this battle within the first stanza, when Monoxide Child invites anger. Lyrics to Twiztid songs all carry this similar theme, one reason they are widely respected among Psychopathic Records fans and non-Psychopathic Records fans.
