"Hitman Rap" lyrics
When I make a kill, every time's the same
Put my calling card through the side of your brain
Call me Mr. 47, never given a name
And if you have a hit, I'll be there right away
Don't forget, write the check to the ICA
I prefer cash or credit, but I'm fine with pain
And once I'm paid, I'll get up and drive away
And find me another a client with a life to take (Uh)
You never understand the price of fame
Until you treat life like crime's a game
I might walk in disguise with some fine champagne (Ha)
When you're down I'll ignite the place (Bam)
Walk out with the fire and flames lickin' at my back
"That's guy's insane"
I'm a test tube baby who's denied a name
I'm pissed off at the world and it's time to pay
Don't blame the messenger, 'cause I never wanted you dead
I'm only doing my job, 'cause killing's what I do best
And you can pray all you want, won't keep me out of your head
Everyone's destined to die, you're just before all the rest
I'm a clone, but nobody owns me
Work alone, but don't call it lonely
Super Soldier, no one controls me
Maybe when you're dead, you can say you know me (Homie)
Got the quick hands of a hitman (Woo)
It was written into my genetic plan
They'll never catch me (Nope), I'm gonna get them (Yep)
Any evidence? You'll never find it, man (Hahaha)
Just another life I've taken, the investigations
Got me so frustrated, I could smash their faces
Cops on my tail, but I always shake 'em
Wastin' their time, 'cause they're shadow chasin'
Sometimes I wanna race in, guns ablazin'
Because I'm so tense and I lack the patience
But I'm a artist, makin' a statement
My gun is the brush and I'm gonna start paintin'
Don't blame the messenger, 'cause I never wanted you dead
I'm only doing my job, 'cause killing's what I do best
And you can pray all you want, won't keep me out of your head
Everyone's destined to die, you're just before all the rest
I give assassin a whole new meaning
'Cause I make a mess, but I'm used to cleaning (That's right)
They'll never find me when I'm hiding
I guess those guys should've never designed me (Ha)
But everybody makes mistakes, you say?
A mistake I will never make, okay?
I'll explain as I take my aim
Some people dream about perfection, I'm wide awake
And every crime I make, each life I take
It's a higher price with higher stakes
I'm not on time, but never late
And if you try to fight, you're fightin' fate
And you can bite me, but I'll bite back
I got the whole agency kissin' my ass
'Cause everybody's like, "That was a tight rap
Agent 47 tell me, please, did you write that?"
Nope, but you're on my hit list, do you like that?
I've got a chorus to sing, but I'll be right back
Don't blame the messenger, 'cause I never wanted you dead
I'm only doing my job, 'cause killing's what I do best
And you can pray all you want, won't keep me out of your head
Everyone's destined to die, you're just before all the rest
Don't blame the messenger, 'cause I never wanted you dead
I'm only doing my job, 'cause killing's what I do best
And you can pray all you want, won't keep me out of your head
Everyone's destined to die, you're just before all the rest
Put my calling card through the side of your brain
Call me Mr. 47, never given a name
And if you have a hit, I'll be there right away
Don't forget, write the check to the ICA
