Produced by frequent collaborator Alexander Spit, "LIFES AS VIOLENT" rides a jaunty piano loop that belies the sky-high emotional stakes in Sideshow's bars. "You need advice or you need a weapon?" he asks dryly. He's reminiscing on bygone days of serving as a teen and scoffing at unseen opps obscured by tinted windows in between throwing $1s at the club and watching the speedometer spike up to 120 on the highway. Later on, he'll declare "I got some questions for God, need answers," while in the video, his face gets bloodier and bloodier.
