It's a Killer |
There’s a rumour goin''round on the backside of town |
Jake is out to get some revenge |
Has fire in his eyes since his brother died |
Shot down by a so-called friend |
For a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors say |
Drugs had control of his life |
Caught up on crack you’re tryin’to think back |
The devil had him hooked you could see it in his eyes |
It’s a killer |
There’s a cold house at the corner of the street |
The kids come and go there at night |
Jerry drove up in front of the house |
Somebody pulled out a knife |
Jerry freaked out and went for his gun |
Shot him right between the eyes |
All he ever wanted was a twenty dollar high |
But now he’s locked up for the rest of his life |
It’s a killer there’s no way out baby once your in It’s a killer steal from your family |
Then you’ll turn on your friends |
It’s a killer It can happen to you |
So don’t you never, never give in It’s a killer |
The neighborhood I used to call home |
These days it’s lookin’like a war zone |
Unemployment on the rise but the black market thrives |
Money just keeps changin’hands |
The laws are gettin’tough sometimes it’s not enough |
To satisfy supply and demand |
Trouble breaks out there’s fightin’in the streets |
Bullets flyin’all around |
An innocent child caught in the line of fire |
All because there weren’t enough drugs to go around |
(repeat chorus) |
(repeat chorus) |
