[Verse 1: Willie D]
As I walked through 5th Ward
I saw this man
He was kind but he was blind
I snatched his jewelry and ran
I caught up with Face
And said, "I think it's worth a grand"!
He smiled, then he giggled
And he shook my hand
We tried to pawn it in time
To go to the jam
He said, "It's fake"
I said "What"?
He said "Sorry"!
I said "Damn"!
My mama threw me out
I called my sister a whore
Now my house is abandoned
My bed is the floor
It's been a week I didn't eat
I couldn't take it no more
Saw my teacher Miss Elaine
At the grocery store
I waited by her car
She asked, "Why aren't you in school"?
Put my gun up to her head
And said, "Get in, you old fool"!
She offered her keys
Cried and said, "Please"!
She promised not to tell
And give me As and Bs
I said, "I want your money, grub, and all I can sell"!
I looked into her eyes
And she was scared as hell
I knew she was a snitch
I beat her down with my gun
Got happy with the trigger
Now I'm on the run
An assassin
[Verse 2: Scarface]
Now I'm just what you expected
A runner out on bail
Hustlin' is my job
And I'm paid well
I'm used to makin' money fast
Beaucoup cash
Try to beat me or cheat me
My boss is bustin' your ass
Once lived Sheila
Yeah I meant to kill her
Her teeth was big and gappy
So we called her Godzilla
She planned to throw a party
She said, "Bring everybody"
No jive, when we arrived
We saw Detective Ray McCarty
I started haul-assin'
My Adidas came unfastened
I fell and went to jail
And came back as an assassin
First I start wailin'
My pockets started swellin'
Havin' green is havin' power
And you know what I was sellin'
Now Sheila was addicted
Her face looked reflicted
I caught her sellin' ass
Then and there I should've kicked it
I drove up to her corner
And gave her a grin
Asked, "How much"?
She said, "Twenty"
I said, "Bet"!
She got in
I drove her to a place
That was quiet and dark
She said, "Yo, turn out the lights and find a place to park"
Now I knew the girl was ready
She started gettin' sweaty
But all was in my head was, 'Kill that bitch like Freddy'!
I dug between the chair
And whipped out the machete
She screamed
I sliced her up
Until her guts were like spaghetti
A maniac
I stabbed the girl in her tits
And to stop her nerves from jumpin'
I just cut her to bits
An assassin
[Verse 3: Bushwick Bill]
My father was a priest
Cold blooded, he's dead
Hypocrite, I caught him basin'
So I shot him in the head
Poured on the holy water
"Bless the dead" is what I said
Then heard the demon screamin' as his body bled
Now I stole from the poor
Lied on a man
Dropped the dime, he's doin' time and I don't give a damn
We're not really greedy, we'll help the poor and needy
We'll rock a show and clock some dough, then drink until we're peedy
Drunk on the freeway just the other day
I saw a fine hitch-hiker, and I wanted to play
I pulled off the road, so I could offer a ride
She said "Thanks", I said "No thang," and she got inside
Jivin' as I was drivin', then I asked which direction
She said, "5th Ward", I said "We're from the same section"
Made it to my ave, she got out and said "Thanks"
I said, "Yo babe, like won't you chill and have a couple of drinks?"
We went into my house, and I filled up her glass
She drank and got drunk, that's when I got in that ass
I banged it and banged it until my thang got sore
I said "Honey...", she said "20", I said, "Get out, you fuckin whore!"
She put on her clothes, headed for the door
Then said, "Welcome to the disease there is no cure for"
Then she started runnin' and almost got away
With no clothes I gave chase, makin' sure she'd pay
Now she passed by my boy and I knew he was strapped
Red pulled out his gun and shot the bitch in her back
Bare butt-naked I headed for the car
The massacre was from Texas, so I pulled out the chainsaw
Cuttin' and cuttin', he said "Bushwick, man, she's dead"
On the news they found remains of just an arm and her head
An assassin
