Lynyrd Skynyrd :: :: 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
  
  (Chorus:)
  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)
