SLAUGHTER Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I make gyal wet, call her, "Mami Water" (Mhm)
When I enter the club, I'm Rich Porter (Mhm)
I don't bust my gun, I'll give the order (Mhm)
I be pimpin' forever 'cah I'm immortal (Mhm)
If you wanna give life, pum-pum's the portal (Mhm)
Stackin' bare bread, that's for my daughter (Mhm)
You gon' have my yute, never abort her (Mm-mm)
"Don't trust no man", that's what I told her (Mm-mm)
Every money I make, give her a quarter (Mhm)
Spend the rest on WAP's 'cah it's important (Mhm)
My first shotgun, had to cut it shorter (Mhm)
Go to the other side and we slaughter
[Verse 2]
Who's thе suspect? It's a mystery
Broad daylight, don't care if a kid see
Do it in thе park in front of your pickney
Do it on a date in front of habibti
Yo, let me get back in the car quickly
Before the ask, "Can I get a pic' please?"
We got a pole, but, it's no strip tease
But there's dead presidents in the air indeed
Who's the victim? 'Cause I know it ain't me
Eight weeks in the T straight, age eighteen
Drum gon' beat, but, I ain't Tay Keith
Put on the flash, make man say, "Cheese"
Ain't a freak, what the f*ck you pullin' up for?
I thought that it's beef, but, they ain't pullin' up though
Spent nuff dough on a long nose, dumbo
They ain't on, so, why the f*ck we got guns for?
I'm tryna see the opps fall and see the money pile up (Mhm)
Try put a body in the air like mile high club (Mhm)
If you knew what I spent on all of these firearms (Mm-mm)
My financial advisor wouldn't advise it
Pull up on you now, girl, I wanna try some
All of the Chanel, I put on my side one
Not to mention the shit that my wife got
Quarter million, I wire it, send it to ice box
Side quest, leave a side man dead on a sidewalk
Bro pull up in a dinger, he turnin' your lights off
You ain't done nothin' 'til you put your guys on
All the business that I stood on, I did it for my block
[Outro]
My first shotgun, had to cut it shorter (Mhm)
Go to the other side and we slaughter

SLAUGHTER Song Meaning [Central Cee]
“SLAUGHTER” unites Central Cee and J Hus on the project "ALL ROADS LEAD HOME", delivering a hard-edged UK rap record shaped by drill minimalism and street storytelling. Released in February 13, 2026 under Columbia Records, the track emphasizes status, survival, and the psychology of success in hostile environments, blending menace with reflection on wealth, loyalty, and legacy.
Song Meaning
The opening section frames dominance as both reputation and survival strategy. Central Cee presents himself as someone who commands action rather than acting impulsively, suggesting power now comes from influence instead of reckless violence. References to wealth and providing for family reposition the street narrative into one about generational responsibility. Fatherhood imagery softens the aggression, revealing a dual identity: feared figure outside, protective provider at home.
As the verse unfolds, material success becomes symbolic armor. Luxury spending and weapon references coexist, illustrating how prosperity does not erase paranoia. The contrast reflects a reality common in UK drill storytelling — financial elevation without emotional escape from the environment that created it. The artist implies that prosperity demands vigilance, as enemies multiply alongside fame.
J Hus’s section intensifies the tension by shifting toward unpredictability and dark humor. His storytelling moves through public spaces, portraying violence as something that can erupt anywhere, reinforcing the sense that danger is normalized rather than exceptional. Wordplay and cultural references add swagger, but underneath lies a portrait of desensitization — a mindset shaped by constant exposure to risk.
Midway through, the narrative pivots toward mistrust and strategic thinking. Questions about loyalty and readiness hint at internal conflicts within social circles. The idea that not everyone is prepared for confrontation reflects broader anxieties about authenticity in rap culture, where image and reality often blur. Financial references again appear, portraying money as both reward and burden.
Toward the end, the focus returns to loyalty to one’s origins. Actions are framed as sacrifices for community status and protection of territory. The closing lines echo the opening, creating a cyclical structure that mirrors the inescapable loop of street life: advancement, threat, retaliation, survival.
Emotional Core and Themes
At its core, “SLAUGHTER” explores the psychological cost of rising from adversity. Themes of masculinity, protection, and legacy dominate, but beneath the bravado lies vulnerability — fear of betrayal, pressure to maintain reputation, and the isolation that accompanies success. The song also examines how violence becomes language in environments where traditional power structures fail, turning aggression into currency.
Connection with Listeners
For listeners, the track resonates as a raw depiction of ambition shaped by hardship. Fans drawn to UK drill and contemporary rap recognize the authenticity in its portrayal of ambition mixed with anxiety. The emotional pull comes from the tension between aspiration and survival, making the song feel less like celebration and more like a warning about the cost of success.
Conclusion
“SLAUGHTER” stands as a stark snapshot of modern British rap’s evolution — cinematic, confrontational, and introspective beneath its surface. By pairing Central Cee’s calculated delivery with J Hus’s unpredictable energy, the track captures the uneasy reality of triumph forged in conflict. It ultimately portrays success not as escape, but as another battlefield requiring constant vigilance.
