There's a rumor 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 you're 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
It's a killer, there's no way out, baby, once you're 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
It's a killer, there's no way out, baby, once you're 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
