"Murder Business" lyrics

There's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
You pull the blinds down low, think you're safe but you're not alone
Said, there's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
Pick the shells up off the ground, drive away, didn't make a sound

I ain't a killer, but don't push me, I could change my mind
I learned a thing or two in Compton about taking lives
There ain't a place on the plant earth that is safe hide
If you blinded by some money they'll try to take your eyes
Underneath all of their T-shirts they got vests on for the riots
They run up on you in the library 'cause all their guns are silenced
They kidnap the people you care for to guarantee your compliance
If you notify the police, your family been dead when you find them
That's the game though, lay low, thank your guardian angel
Make peace with God in case you end up at his gate, yo
Sometimes it's better to save it if you can bite your tongue
I know it's hurts and you hate it when you can taste the blood
She got a bun in the oven, you put a gun to her stomach, and tell her "Shut the fuck up, truth is all you need"
Her husband owed you some money, and explain if you don't get it you'll take the baby out the belly of the beast, whoa oh

There's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
You pull the blinds down low, think you're safe but you're not alone
Said, there's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
Pick the shells up off the ground, drive away, didn't make a sound

I ducked my first shot in Alberta
Heard my best friend just got murdered by the cops and it made sense, he didn't answer all my calls
I stole my first kilo in the prairies, barely made it out a scary situation with my balls
Whipping around and breaking it down and flipping it out the Durango
Half an ounce and a hubcap and the rest of it on my ankles
Living with so many bikers, who think Harley Davidson live at the crib
Seen more shit than most did, and I was just a kid
It didn't last long, I guess that is the nature of the business, kill the witness, all the rats gotta die, even Mickey, uh
The feds watching the heads knocking, the lead popping
The dead walking, like they unlocked and left coffins
And I'm just talking with the Lord before I sleep
Like they killed two of my friends, God, don't let them get me
He don't respond and I don't expect forgiveness
I made deals with the devil when I left the murder business

Finish what you feel, you should hold your breath
Turn your head before the kiss of death
Are you ready to attack? Pray to God that they shots miss and then send a couple back, bang bang

There's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
You pull the blinds down low, think you're safe but you're not alone
Said, there's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
Pick the shells up off the ground, drive away, didn't make a sound

There's always one witness, when you in the murder business
Pick your shells up off the ground, drive away don't make a sound, no
Said, there's always one witness, when you're in the murder business
Take the lights down low, you're not alone
