Read the lyrics and udnerstand them and what they are coming from. They don't say that they are going to kill somebody, they say why. That's a bunch of bullshit though, here's some examples to read:

A lonely teenage daydream of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless, not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto, power for peace their crime

Product of our environment

Maybe one day they will legalize weed
In the year 2Gs the planet could be deceased
We plead to the fleas while we're beggin' on our knees
In our hometown Cali with bears and green trees
Birds and the bees, hot sand on the beach
Shells in the sea and I'm living in peace
Like a dog on a leash, locked up with no keys
I gotta smoke under cover, motherfuck the police

Yeah, see the magic hand pull a rabbit from a hat
The law's an illusion, as simple as that
Putting us in jail, funding it with our tax
I can see the wires in the levitating act
I can hear the lies and they're calling them facts
I can see the bars and they're lookin off track
I read between the lines but the lines are all cracked
I can feel the knife turning in my back

How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell, living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell

You are a sacred being of light
Projected into reality for a purpose
Demand the right to your moment
In this holographic gift with no rules, no borders
Except for those who you choose to accept and live by

Abolish government, it's nothing to me
Forget about god, he's not here to see
We live by a system, a perfect mold
People, perfect people, who are poor and old
Lies were spent on a sad defense
They said we're lookin for a method in this world ???
Presidents are named,
Presidents are labeled highest man on the government table

America, land of the free
Free to the power of the people in uniform

How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell, living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell

Society, fuck it, I've had enough
The system's full of crooks, straight up corrupt
You look like a decoy, bobbing like a duck
And your money keeps 'em smokin' on a BC Bluff
You're caught up in the headlights of my V-Dub bus
TSOL and the Kings about to even things up
Your birds will take all the air out the sky
Bring em down to our level, you can run, can't hide

Product of our environment

A lonely teenage daydream of things I just might be
A surreal kind of thinking keeps on drifting in on me
My twisted body is lifeless, not so their twisted minds
Peace through power their motto, power for peace their crime

The government keeps tight control over the population
While the schools teach the kids restricted education
Murder, rape, sex, and underage prostitution
They got the war on pot, they got the wrong solution

I wake and I bake, nowhere to escape
Livin' life in a tank, they invade my space
Betrayed full of hate while they're shootin all blanks
Society's lost in a paranoid state

It's the illusion of ownership, it's take what you can get
The banks are the loan sharks and everyone's in debt
And if you get ahead how quickly you forget
You're hanging from a burning rope without a safety net
They tax you when you sell, they tax you when you buy
They take half when you live, then they take half when you die
These are the lies that they are stating as facts
I can see the wires of the levitating act

How would life be if the world smoked weed?
Guaranteed there'd be peace not greed
See, it's hell, living in a cell
Legalize the plant only time will tell

I'm glad that I can read, I'm glad that I can write
I read their fuckin bullshit every single night
When off in my head went a little fuckin light
It told me what was wrong and it told me what was right
World bank-power and control, issuing the money and they're dolin' out the roles
Charging what they want to with the money they control
Living in their nightmare, giving them your soul

-Kottonmouth Kings, "Peace not Greed"


[Verse1]
Have you ever been hated, or discriminated against? I have.
I've been protested and demonstrated against.
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times,
Sick is the mind, of the motherfuckin' kid thats behind.
All this commotion, emotions, run deep as oceans explodin',
Tempers flarin' from parents, just blow him off and keep goin'.
Not takin nothin' from noone give 'em hell as long as i'm breathin'.
Keep kicking ass in the mornin' and taking names in the evenin'.
Leave 'em with the taste of sourest vinager in their mouth.
See they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out.
Look at me now, I'll bet your probably sick of me now.
Aint you mama? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now.

[Chorus]
I'm sorry Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet.

One more time.

I said I'm sorry Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet.

[Verse 2]
I got some skeletons in my closet, and I don't know if noone knows it.
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it, I'ma expose it.
I'll take you back to '73, before I ever had a multi-platnium selling CD.
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple a months.
My fagot father must had his panties up in a bunch,
'Cause he split. I wonder if he even kissed me good-bye.
No I dont, on second thought I just fuckin wished he would die.
I look at Hailie, and I couldnt picture leavin' her side.
Even if I hated Kim,
I'd grit my teeth and I'd try to make it work with her,
at least for Hailie's sake.
I maybe made some mistakes, but I'm only human,
But I'm man enough to face em today.
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb,
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun,
'Cause I'da killed em, shit I would'a' shot kim and 'im both.
Its my life.
I'd like to welcome y'all to the Eminem Show.

[Chorus]
I'm sorry Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet.

One more time.

I said I'm sorry Mama.
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to make you cry,
But tonight, I'm cleaning out my closet.

[verse 3]
Now I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition.
Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin'.
But put yourself in my position, just try to invision.
Witnessing your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen,
Bitchin, that someone's always goin' through her purse and shit's missin'.
Going through public housing systems, victim of Munchaussen Syndrome.
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't,
Till I grew up, now I blew up,
it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it?
Wasn't it the reason you made that cd for me Ma?
So you could try to justify the way you treated me Ma?
But guess what you gettin' older now when it's cold and your lonely.
And Nathan's growing up so quick, he's gonna know that your phony.
And Hailie's getting so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful.
But you'll never see her, she won't even be at your funeral.
See what hurts me the most is you wont admit you was wrong.
Bitch, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom!
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get?
You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit!
Remember when Roney died, and you said you wished it was me?
Well guess what, I am dead, dead to you as can be!

-Eminem, "Cleaning out my Closet"


there's a shitload more. The Rap i am familiar with has to do with expressing sadness, despair, rage, or comedy for the most part. Read the lyrics, the good shit is a form of poetry. The bad shit is what your stereo type is, pointless violence form hypocrits who don't know shit about what they're saying.
