* This one is a truly unsettling blend of FridgeHorror and AdultFear. "The Blasta" has a section where, later on in life, after having left the military and started a family in an attempt to put his vengeance-fueled, murder-filled past behind him, a bully who had picked on the main character's son at school turns up missing, and he goes to ask his son about it:
-->"'Did you have anything to do with this?'\\
He gave me no answer, just a hug and a kiss\\
And said, 'Don't worry, Dad; everything'll be fine.\\
Just you pay it no mind; it's all over.'"
** In other words, it's heavily implied that vengeance-fueled murder [[ItRunsInTheFamily runs in the family]]. Holy...

* "Falling Apart" describes a BodyHorror day, where Violent J says he feels too sick to come into work. But as he tries to rest, several parts of his body falls off, including his toes, fingers and his dick. This keeps going until he throws up his guts and his limbs fall off, and by the end of the song, he's left being "a pile of meat, baking under the sun".

* "In My Room" with lots of {{Yandere}} goodness. The singer is involved with a girl and they hang out a lot [[TitleDrop in his room]]. One night, he murders one of his mother's cat because it [[DisproportionateRetribution scared her]]. It certainly doesn't help that you actually hear a cat yowling during the verse. The girl is obviously freaked out by his behavior and runs away. Then she tells him that she was seen by a neighbor's kid and he proceeds to brutally murder the kid and his parents.

* "Wrestling/ChrisBenoit" and its remix that includes Music/IceCube & [[Music/GetoBoys Scarface]] (not [[Film/{{Scarface}} that Scarface]]). Another SanitySlippageSong, using the professional wrestler as a loose metaphor. Its lyrics describe a normal person suddenly snapping and committing acts of violence and murder. The perspective varies from verses; Violent J's verse is definitely from the perspective of the person described, Shaggy's verse is pretty schizophrenic, implying the perspective of someone of multiple personalities, Ice Cube takes an outside perspective and your guess is as good as anyone as to what Scarface's verse is about.

* "Mr. Happy"

to:

* "Mr. Happy"Happy" is a cheerful little song about a friendly(if slightly-odd) fellow that really, really loves people. [[AffablyEvil Really.]] He just also happens to consider gruesomely murdering people the ultimate expression of love. [[AdultFear The fact that he appears to be singing this song to a group of children simply adds a whole other layer of creepy to this already-disturbing track.]]

* "Assassins"

to:

* "Assassins""Assassins" tells two stories about the Wicked Clowns committing various atrocities. The first verse depicts Shaggy as a teenage petty criminal, homeless and starving to death, who recognizes his teacher at the mall and climbs into the back of her car and waits. When she gets back, he sticks a shank to her throat and holds her up for her money and "all [he] can sell", then cuts her tongue out so she can't snitch on him, and finally [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill shoots her to death]] before fleeing. End of the verse.
** In the second verse, which is ''slighly'' [[BlackComedy more comical]], Violent J is drunk driving on the freeway after killing a bigoted priest who was possessed by a demon(just roll with it) when he sees a "fine hitchhiker" and offers to give her a ride. Along the way, he manages to smooth-talk her into coming back to his trailer for a glass of Faygo and some casual anal sex. Afterward, the woman kisses J and asks "so when am I getting paid?" J flies into a rage and tries to choke her, but she escapes and tells him "welcome to the disease there's no cure for". J then chases her across the trailer park, and just when you think she might get away, his friend Billy shoots her in the back as she passes by him and she goes down. J, [[AxeCrazy not satisfied with this]], [[AnAxeToGrind grabs a hatchet and chops her into pieces]], culminating in him [[AssShove shoving her head up her butt.]] End of the verse.

* "Everyday I Die": J and Shaggy wake up each day, try to make it through the darkness of Hell, cannot die, but still feel pain. It's particularly worse when J is basically being eaten alive by demons.
* "The Killing Fields" is a descriptive depiction of Hell, referring to Shaggy trying to chase down and eat [[BodyHorror a pig with a man's head]] while a demon tries to chase Shaggy.

* "Ol' Evil Eye" is a pretty faithful rap adaptation of Creator/EdgarAllanPoe's ''Literature/TheTelltaleHeart'', with the protagonist split between two characters: Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope's. Violent J is haunted by the dead-looking eye of the Old Man, and sets out to murder him. Shaggy attempts to stop him, but once he sees the Old Man, he joins J's quest to murder the man. The music is pretty consistently dark and nightmarish, and actual excerpts from the Poe story appear sporadically.

* The end of "Never Had it Made" has Violent J surviving execution, waking up in a morgue and taking out several cops, trying to push his guts back inside his body as he falls out and dying to face judgment, where the song had started. The entire song is him trying to convince St. Peter that despite all the murders he had committed (and [[IAmAHumanitarian eating a dead body]]), he somehow deserves to go to Heaven because society drove him to it. However, the ''really'' dark synthesizer music towards the end implies that his pleads didn't work and that he's Hell-bound. There's all kinds of Nightmare Fuel here.
* "12" is told from the perspective of a convicted murderer, Violent J, who rises from the grave as a zombie to seek bloody revenge on the 12 jurors, who show no remorse for their judgment and are declared by J to be just as guilty of murder as he is.
