Get some shuteye son, we've got a big day ahead
A showdown at noon, an execution at 10
We don't rob the rich or heist the gold train
But we'll take your money and your life all of the same
It's all about respect, whose ground not to tread
Who stays alive and who ends up dead
In a green duffle bag behind the factory
A burnt out car, some tyre marks and a broken city
Here it comes again, that same ol' feeling
The burning question, is what I'm doing right?
'Cause I look the other way
For some extra pay
But at the end of the day
It don't feel quite right
It'd make your skin crawl what gets done for 10K
They know where I live, they'll be waiting there someday
A quick buck is made but the price is your soul
Living fast and dying young, it's the only way you go
