lyrics:slow motion (unedited)
MRS.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 VACCENT LOT
THE ONE IN THE SUMMER WHERE WE USE TO SMOKE POT,
I GUESS I DIDN'T MEAN IT,
BUT MAN YOU SHOULD OF SEEN IT,
HIS FLESH EXPLODE
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
PRETEND YOU DIE YOUNG
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
WHAT A BROTHER KNOWS
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
NOW THE COPS WILL GET ME,
BUT GIRL IF YOU'LL ONLY LET ME,
I'LL TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF,
I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF BLOW WE CAN BOTH GET OFF,
LATER BATHING IN THE AFTER GLOW,
TWO LADS OF COCE I CUT WITH DRAIN-O,
AND HER NOSE STARTS TO BLEED,
THE MOST BEUTIUL RUBY RED
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
WE'LL REMEMBER THESE DAYS
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
URBAN LIFE DECAYS
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
AND AT HOME
MY SISTER'S EATING PAINT CHIPS AND CAN
MAYBE THAT'S WHY SHE'S INSANE
I SHUT HER DOOR TO THE MOWNING
AND I SHOT SMAK IN MY VAINS
COULDN'T YOU SEE, MY NEIGHBORS BEATING HIS WIFE
BECAUSE HE HATES HIS LIFE
THERE'S A KNOT TO HIS FIST AS HE SWINGS
OH MAN, WHAT A BEUTIFUL THING
AND DUST LIGHTS CLOSE TO ME
WON'T GROW OLD TO BE
A JUNKY WINE-O CREAP
HOLLYWOOD PAMERIZED MY LIFE
I MY OWN LOVING PHSCO PATH
I INSIDE MURDER
FOR YOUR ENERTAINMENT
CAUSE I NEEDED THE MONEY
WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE
THE JOKES ON YOU
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
AWWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
SLOW MOTION TINY LET GO
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
