[E]
[A]
[C#] [A]
[F#m] [A] [E]
Someone left a cigarette riding [F#m] in his [E] car
Some old guy takes a swig at parking [F#m] back at y'all
[B] But when they [E] were lost, not no one [F#m] can remember
[C#m]
Somebody [A] got [B] blood, the poor [E] people's blood
Somebody [C#m] [A] got blood
And [E]
some [F#] [A] dead boy at home
[E]
Reminding your own business, got me in [F#] such a [E] chase
You wouldn't cost your barber, the hungry [F#] all the same
[B]
I've been [A] very tempted to grab it from [C#] the tail
[C#m]
I've been [A] very hungry, [B] but not enough [E] to kill
Somebody [C#] got [A] murdered
[E]
Somebody [F#] dead [A] forever
[E]
Somebody got murdered, his name cannot [F#m] be found
[E] Small stain on the pavement, scrubbing on [F#m] the ground
[B] As the gate [E] car criss-crossed, no one said [F#m] that much
[C#m]
Somebody [A] got murdered, [B] and he kicked me with [E] a touch
[C#m] [A] Got murdered, [E]
[B] dead [A] forever
Sounds [E] like murder, [C#m] the shots, [A] they jump down below
[E] Sounds like murder, [F#m] don't scream, [A] they jump down below
[E] Soon [C#m] my work stops, [A] so time to go
[E] Sounds like murder, [F#m] scream [A] down below
[E] [C#m] [A] [E]
