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

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

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
