Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see them lie and lay in wait
Standing at the gate
But yay I hold up my head and I sing
Hear what I sing nah
[Verse 2]
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder
Kill I today, you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder, your inside must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another?
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder
Kill me today, you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder, your inside must be hollow
How does it feel to take a life?
[Verse 3]
You can hide from man but not from your conscience
Unnu nyam the bread of sorrow, drink the wine of violence
Allowed yourself to be conquered by the serpent
Why you disobey the first commandment?
Walk through the valley I fear no pestilence
God is my witness and him ah meh evidence
Lift up mine eyes from whence cometh help
You will never escape this judgement
[Verse 4]
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder
Kill I today, you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder, your inside must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another?
[Verse 5]
I tell you now, all men are created equal
But behind the trigger it's a different sequel
Some ah murder people just to collect medals
Stop commit dirty acts for the high officials
You could wash your head until you can't wash no more
It is like an epidemic and you won't find a cure
Upper class you could be rich, middle class whether you poor
Only the righteous won't feel insecure
You ever think about your skill getting bored? (Buck, buck!)
[Verse 6]
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder
Kill I today, you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murderer, your inside must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another?
[Verse 7]
Drinking sulphur bitters won't bitter like your end
Only God can help you, no family no friend
Don't let the curse be upon your children's children
Abednigo, Shadreck, Meshek, Daniel in the den
Jonah in the whale's belly but him never condemned
Job with the leprosy, and he still reached heaven
He will do for you everything He has done for them
[Verse 8]
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder
Kill I today, you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder, your inside must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another?
Once more
[Verse 9]
You can hide from man but not from your conscience
Unnu nyam the bread of sorrow, drink the wine of violence
Allowed yourself to be conquered by the serpent
Why you disobey the first commandment?
Walk through the valley I fear no pestilence
God is my witness and him ah meh evidence
Lift up mine eyes from whence cometh help
You will never escape this judgement
[Verse 10]
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder
Kill I today, you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder, your inside must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another?
[Verse 11]
I tell you, all men are created equal
But behind the trigger it's a different sequel
Some ah murder people just to collect medals
Stop commit dirty acts for the high officials
You could wash your head until you can't wash no more
It is like an epidemic and you won't find a cure
Upper class you could be rich, middle class whether you poor
