Lyrics
YOU SAY YOU SHOT SOMEBODY? YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT?
BUT THERE'S BLOOD UPON YOUR JACKET, AND YOU SAY SOMEBODY SEEN IT?
WELL I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO, 'CAUSE YOU'RE A FRIEND OF MINE, BUT MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS... JUST GET AWAY.
YOU HAD A VERBAL CONFRONTATION, AND THEN YOU WRESTLED TO THE GROUND
AND NOW YOU SAY THAT YOU WERE DRINKING, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
NOW THERE'S A GUY I'LL TRY CALL, I KEEP HIS NUMBER ON THE WALL, BUT FOR NOW YOU KEEP YOUR PROFILE NICE AND LOW
I'D SAY A MONTH OR SO
THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU SHOT YOUR BROTHER, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO PAY.
NOW YOU GOT TROUBLE UNLIKE NO OTHER. WHAT MADE YOU GO THIS WAY? OH NO.
YOU LOST THE LIGHT OF DAY, HOW DID YOU COME THIS WAY?
(SAX BREAK)
YOU SAY YOU SHOT SOMEBODY -- YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT.
BUT THERE'S BLOOD UPON YOUR JACKET, AND YOU SAY SOMEBODY SEEN IT.
WELL I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO, 'CAUSE YOU'RE A FRIEND OF MINE BUT I SAY THAT MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS...
JUST GET AWAY.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU SHOT YOUR BROTHER, AND NOW IT'S TIME TO PAY.
NOW YOU GOT TROUBLE UNLIKE NO OTHER. WHAT MADE YOU GO THIS WAY? OH NO.
YOU LOST THE LIGHT OF DAY, HOW DID YOU COME THIS WAY?
