Boy you know, me ah fe go leave dat town yo you know! Ca' it too hot you know, it too hot man

I'm walking from the bottom and I'm stepping to the top
I see these mental cases and it's just like watching cops
It's not easy to say who is your friend or who's your foe?
Some people look so dodgy, don't even look over bro
They whisper as you're passing
Want some rock some brown or blow?
Sometimes it does get heavy when you tell the bastards no
The road is getting hard, the time is getting worst
I'm feeling like my mind is gunner blow

I wanna break from the routine, you all feel the same
And there's no use in pointing fingers coz everybody share the blame, it's all!
Killing me, believe me

Now everyday there is a battle, everyday against the grime
The news reporter tells us that we all are into crime
Abuse in every corner every house and body part
So quick to jump and use your fist Ay Bredrin, don't you start
Community no unity the place it has no heart
The hatred and the disrespect is tearing us apart
The road is getting hard, the time is getting worst
I'm feeling like me mind is gunner blow

Well uno stand up inna doorway look menacing as hell
You're wearing a bandana so the cameras can't tell
It ties you up, and locks you up and that's where you will dwell
It's so stereotypical that you've got to rebel tell the people

Don't be a part of that
I'm gunner tell you that you won't be a part of that
Let me hear you saying that you
Won't be a part of that
No no no no no no no you
Won't be a part of that
No no no no no no no you
Won't be a part of that
Let me hear you saying that you
Won't be a part of that
No no no no because it's killing me killing you killing me killing you

I wanna break free from this caught up world, it's killing me, believe me
I want to break from the routine, you all feel the same
And there's no use in pointing fingers coz everybody share the blame, it's all!
Killing me, killing me, you're all killing me killing me

If I break down
What would it take for you to see
That I have been left empty inside
From the scars that I have made
Cause you don't know what I've been through

All of the time that I spent waiting for you
And I have locked it inside
And now it's killing me

How would you feel
If I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel
If told you this would never go away

What would it take for you to understand
You don't know me
Would it take for you to realize
That you don't know what I've been through

All of the time that I spent waiting for you
I have locked it inside
And now it's killing me

How would you feel
If I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel
If I told you this would never go away

How would you feel
If I told you it's inside of me
How would you feel
If I told you this was killing me

I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can
But I know we'll never escape from this
Running as fast as we can to get away

How would you feel
If I told you things would never be the same
How would you feel
If I told you this would never go away

How would you feel
If I told you it's inside of me
How would you feel
If I told you this was killing me

This is killing me
Now this is killing me
I said its killing me

Yesterday I broke your heart in two
Today I wanna waste my life with you
but its over, over

I dont wanna touch anybody else
But kissin you's a drug bad for my health
and its over, over, so over

Its killin me!
Gently, silently, Im dyin inside
Gently, silently, Im dyin inside

I hear it in your voice on the telephone
Youre so good at playin stable when you'r all alone
and its over, over, so over

Its killin me!
Gently, silently, Im dyin inside
Gently, silently, Im dyin inside

Im down and out (down and out)
Im drownin now (drownin now)
Im fallin down (fallin down)
Im upside down...

This time now Im fallin down

Its killin me!
Gently, silently, Im dyin inside
Gently, silently, Im dyin inside

Gently (giving up)
silently (all I've got)
dyin (giving you all you want)

Gently (giving up)
silently (all I've got)
dyin (giving you)
inside (all you want)

Yesterday I broke your heart in two

I don't mind the abuse
It fills in time
When I'm not much use
But it's killing me, killing me slowly

They all say
I'm too restless
But words cut deep
When you're defenceless
And they're killing me, but killing me slowly

There was a time when we were fine
And I could tolerate you
I do believe that you should leave
'cos I've grown to hate you
Should I be weak and turn my cheek
'cos I'm scared to fall
But I just don't know you
And you don't know me at all

I've been told that love's a celebration
But I've lost faith through frustration
And it's killing me, but killing me slowly

You paint my picture black
The joke's on me
And I don't wanna laugh
Remember the good times
Won't you bring them back someday, somehow

I don't mind feeling blue
If I could smile just like you do
And it's killing me, killing me slowly

I can't go on alone
Pretending nothing's wrong
Maybe I just want to belong
Somewhere, somehow, somehow

I don't mind the abuse
It fills in time
When I'm not much use
But it's killing me, killing me slowly

They all say
I'm too restless
But words cut deep
When you're defenceless
And they're killing me, but killing me slowly

There was a time when we were fine
And I could tolerate you
I do believe that you should leave
'cos I've grown to hate you
Should I be weak and turn my cheek
'cos I'm scared to fall
But I just don't know you
And you don't know me at all

I've been told that love's a celebration
But I've lost faith through frustration
And it's killing me, but killing me slowly

You paint my picture black
The joke's on me
And I don't wanna laugh
Remember the good times
Won't you bring them back someday, somehow

I don't mind feeling blue
If I could smile just like you do
And it's killing me, killing me slowly

I can't go on alone
Pretending nothing's wrong
Maybe I just want to belong
Somewhere, somehow, somehow

The cars are passing down below
And all that's left of you is all your clothes
You left your key the T.V's on
Our picture's face down by the alarm clock radio

The only thing you ever wanted was for me to be here,
To stay now you've gone away
I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you how I'm feeling
and tell you how I've changed
I'd tell you everything

I really don't know if it'd make it all better
But I let myself go and put it in a letter to you
I know I've been stupid and don't have a reason
But I'm tryin not to ruin the one thing I believe in, you
It's killing me, killing you

Remember how you drove me mad
You'd leave your rings and jewelry by the bath
Waking up the bed sheets gone
Spend half the night tryin to steal it back

The only thing you ever wanted was for me to be here,
To stay now you've gone away
I wish I could pick up the phone and tell you how I'm feeling
And tell you how I've changed
I'd tell you everything

I really don't know if it'd make it all better
But I let myself go and put it in a letter to you
I know I've been stupid and don't have a reason
But I'm tryin not to ruin the one thing I believe in, you
It's killing me, killing you
You're all that I want, (you pleaded)
You're all that I need (I need it)
Now that you're gone I see it

oh pain, inside, where you lock your dream away
oh lay down, sleep in not a dream
i fell, on a broken lost day
i feel, i see on a broken past away
alone, you never cared
you never ever needed me
alone, in what you call pity
you always play the game
oh, so what's the deal?
oh can't you feel for real?
oh so what's the deal?
oh what's the feel?
can you feel?
can you feel for real?
all in there interface
and one crawls in your bed
and someday, the creeping walls
a bed of nails, ripping your eyes
ripping your soul, into your brain
another fucking day
and i don't know what to play
i don't know what i fucking see
'cause you never fucking tell me what the deal is
i never knew that you could be so cruel
fucking lying all the time
in your face into my eyes
have i broken up the dead?
have i woken up the dead?
i played your game
i played your game
no special gain
it's in my brain
i never played your fucking game
oh lips are kneeling on my forehead
now bouncing off the walls
another way to say hello
i forgave you last time
i know how, and that you would
i never meant to be this way
you close your eyes, and never, and never
woke up this way
you never woke up, woke up
you woke up this way
that's what i say going down
i feel it going down
i'll crawl into your window
when you're sleeping real tight
i'll kill you in your sleep
i brought the fucking knife
you drive me crazy every day
no, you don't leave me alone
my brain is on the floor
i can't decide until you're dead

(Verse 1)
Am I being pulled from across the room
I can feel her watchin me
But I'm playing cool, me and my dudes
Tryin' not to spill my drink
And she's showing me her tongue ring
Dying to get my attention
Just then I hear my phone ring
It's my nigga, he's callin' a mission

(Hook)
She's a devil in a dress
Dressed to impress
The best of the best hustlas
Ain't no telling how many she corrupts
Run up, try your luck
She might steal ya heart from ya
She's a devil in a dress
Dressed to impress
The best of the best hustlas
Ain't no telling how many she corrupts
Run up, try your luck
She might steal ya heart from ya

(Chorus)
Oooh she won't let me get away
I think I hear her body callin' me
She's about to make that move
What am I to do, she's killing me
She just wanna break me down
Work that round, my eyes can see
She's about to make that move
What am I to do, she's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me

(Verse 2)
Damn, what I'm supposed to do
She got me cornered in the club
And all the homies watching me
She got me nervous now
I can't look her in the face
Them pretty eyes see right through me
Oooh I know she ain't no good for me
And this ain't where I wanna be
I think I like it
Oooh and I don't wanna like it, oh

(Hook)
She's a devil in a dress
Dressed to impress
The best of the best hustlas (Yeah)
Ain't no tellin' how many she corrupts
Run up, try your luck
She might steal ya heart from ya (She's)
She's a devil in a dress
Dressed to impress
The best of the best hustlas (Yeah)
Ain't no tellin' how many she corrupts
Run up, try your luck
She might steal ya heart from ya (Oh yeah)

(Chorus)
Oooh she won't let me get away
I think I hear her body callin' me
She's about to make that move
What am I to do, she's killing me
She just wanna break me down
Work that round, my eyes can see
She's about to make that move
What am I to do, she's killing me (Oh yeah)
She's killing me (Ooooh)
She's killing me (Ohhh)
She's killing me (Yeah)
She's killing me (Yes you are)
She's killing me (Oooh yeah)
She's killing me
She's killing me (Oh, ya killing me baby)

Oh, Uh, Uh, Uhuh, OH!Oooh, Oooh
Oh, Uh, Uh, Uhuh, OH!Oooh, Oooh
Oh, Uh, Uh, Uhuh, OH!Oooh, Oooh

(Hook)
She's a devil in a dress
Dressed to impress
The best of the best hustlas (Yeah)
Ain't no tellin' how many she corrupts
Run up, try your luck
She might steal ya heart from ya (She's)
She's a devil in a dress
Dressed to impress
The best of the best hustlas (Yeah)
Ain't no tellin' how many she corrupts
Run up, try your luck
She might steal ya heart from ya (Oh Yeah)

(Chorus)
Oooh she won't let me get away
I think I hear her body callin' me
She's about to make that move
What am I to do, she's killing me
She just wanna break me down
Work that round, my eyes can see
She's about to make that move
What am I to do, she's killing me
She's killing me (Yes you are)
She's killing me (Ooooh Yeah)
She's killing me
She's killing me
She's killing me (Yes you are)
She's killing me
She's killing me(Oh, ya killing me baby)

I wonder where you are.
Please don't come around tonight
cause I can't stand to see you and I don't want to fight.
Gimme one more drink and I swear I think I'll be ready
to make the same mistakes again with you.

I finally figured out that you're not coming back and I'm not going anywhere.
You were the one with all the faith how did you let it slip away?
That's right, I'm blaming this all on you and the little things you didn't do.
We both knew that you were stronger, could have fought a little longer.
didn't hold it tight enough.
You lost your grip and I slipped right through your fingers.

No more sleepless nights alone.
This bed is better without you.
No more waitin' up for calls.
I've got nothin' left to say to you.

Tell me again about those better days.
This silence hurts me more than anything you could say.
Broken knuckles, broken heart.
I fell in love then fell apart.
You tried to run, I tried to hide, still we managed to collide.
Fell so hard, matching scars.
Held you close, felt so far.
Hearts beating out of time.
You're screaming with no reason and no rhyme.

No more sleepless nights alone.
This bed is better without you.
No more waitin' up for calls.
I've got nothin' left to say to you.

So I will save this last breath for words that I won't scream.
I don't feel like dying, but you're killing me.

Just when the wounds start healing
you're there to break me open.
Watch the blood spill. I'm getting used to this.
I'll clean it in the morning.

No more sleepless nights alone.
This bed is better without you.
No more waitin' up for calls.
I've got nothin' left to say to you.

So I will save this last breath for words that I won't scream.
I don't feel like dying, but you're killing me.

I wonder where you are.
Please don't come around tonight
cause I can't stand to see you and I don't want to fight.
Gimme one more drink and I swear I think I'll be ready
to make the same mistakes again without you.
