Miss Jones taught me English But I think I just shot her son Cause he owed me money With a bullet in the chest you cannot run Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot I guess I didn't mean it but man you should've seen it His flesh explode Slow motion in the ghetto We tend to die young Slow motion in the ghetto What a brother knows Slow motion in the ghetto ♪ Now the cops will get me But girl if you would let me I'll take your pants off I got a little bit of blow we could both get off Later bathing in the afterglow Two lines of Coke I cut with Draino An her nose starts to bleed A most beautiful ruby red Slow motion in the ghetto We'll remember these days Slow motion in the ghetto Urban life decays Slow motion in the ghetto And at home My sister's eating paint chips again Maybe that's why she's insane I shut the door to her moaning And I shoot smack in my veins Wouldn't you? See my neighbor's beating his wife Because he hates his life There's an arc to his fist as he swings Oh man, what a beautiful thing And death slides close to me Won't grow old to be A junkie wine-o creep Hollywood glamorized my wrath I'm the young urban psychopath I incite murder For your entertainment 'Cause I needed the money What's your excuse? The jokes on you Slow motion in the ghetto
Slow motion in the ghetto Slow motion in the ghetto
