Lynyrd Skynyrd - It's A Killer Lyrics
(g. rossington, j.& d. van zant, e. king)Theres a rumour goin round on the backside of townJake is out to get some revengeHas fire in his eyes since his brother diedShot down by a so-called friendFor a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors sayDrugs had control of his lifeCaught up on crack youre tryin to think backThe devil had him hooked you could see it in his eyesIts a killerTheres a cold house at the corner of the streetThe kids come and go there at nightJerry drove up in front of the houseSomebody pulled out a knifeJerry freaked out and went for his gunShot him right between the eyesAll he ever wanted was a twenty dollar highBut now hes locked up for the rest of his life(chorus)Its a killer theres no way out baby once your inIts a killer steal from your familyThen youll turn on your friendsIts a killer it can happen to youSo dont you never, never give inIts a killerThe neighborhood I used to call homeThese days its lookin like a war zoneUnemployment on the rise but the black market thrivesMoney just keeps changin handsThe laws are gettin tough sometimes its not enoughTo satisfy supply and demandTrouble breaks out theres fightin in the streetsBullets flyin all aroundAn innocent child caught in the line of fireAll because there werent enough drugs to go around(repeat chorus)(repeat chorus)
