[Intro]
"The underworld watches in horror as this marks the day that three of America's most notorious outlaws will be executed for their crimes. Together the states of Michigan and California will conduct the executions behind prison walls. The three prisoners are set to be executed by three separate methods: electric chair, hanging, and firing squad. Midnight tonight will mark the first execution."
[Verse 2: Violent J]
Death waits in my cell I can smell him
Somebody tell him that I still breathe, leave
I'm alive, I'll never see twenty-five
Yet still I can feel, I'm real
When it all happened I was in the lime light
News, camera, gave a killer stamina
Another year I'm here but forgotten
Skin is rotting feeling old, cold
Motherfucker in a robe gonna sentence me to die in a metal chair
Fizzle my nut hair
Bad enough I'll be dead
Yet I'm tryin to figure out a way to keep my eyes from poppin' out my head
Oh they'll remember my ass
Twitchin', with my eyes drippin' down the glass
Shaggy, I think they'll try to start a riot
And then it's Ice-T but he don't seem fazed by it
I know the devil's waitin' on me
But does God like you playin' his role in killin' me, though?
Lock me up until I die maybe
But you can never tell, we might sharing a cell in hell
'Cause, my last request was
Let my homies smoke my ashes and catch a Violent J buzz
One more thing before you hit that switch
Please tell my mama that I'm sorry, I never-
[Chorus]
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope]
The lights dimmed in my cell block
'Cause all the power they got surged into one spot
J's chair hear him screamin', fully loaded
It was funny at first 'til his head exploded
It's somethin' else for me, another kill
Just as wicked but cheaper on the light bill
It all starts with a thick rope
Make a noose and I'm gone, stretch out my neck bone
Minutes left I think about my brother
When we was young -Wait! I don't have a brother
What the fuck? My mind's in a tangle
I wish somebody was here that I could strangle
I keep waking up on the floor
'Cause I strangle myself but what the fuck for?
Haha, starin' at the cracks on the walls
Whistlin' necks, fidgetin' my balls
Kill me! It'll still all be the same
Wicked clown Juggalo phantom of the night train
What if I drop, but don't die
Tie weights to my legs and give it another try
Still comin' think of something, I speak
I'm not feelin' so hot, let's go for it next week
Didn't work, I pulled down my collar
At least they won't be hearin' me holler
With my neck shut
[Chorus]
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
[Bridge]
"A bit past 1:30 a.m. now, and the third prisoner slowly makes his way to the designated spot on prison grounds, where he will be executed by way of firing squad."
[Verse 3: Ice-T]
I got seven bitches aimed at me, my back's against the wall
If I only had my strap, bet I could plug 'em all
Watch 'em fall, but they got my ass tied up
Behind this wall, so the homies can't ride up
Known killer, in fact I killed the most
At random, though some of them I planned 'em
Fuck it, I kicks your bucket for you, floor you
Got more guns if there's more of ya, huh
War with the cops no prob, they shouldn't have took the job
Blow holes through they heads like donuts
Grown-ups, kids and girls, gather round and get gunned down
I do it for the fun of it, adrenaline rush
Coked up quick to bust, plus I love my dust
Gun fun, watch the blood run, son
I'm on one
Motherfuckers
But check it, this time I'll be the one dissected
I can't wait to feel the heat when lead and flesh meet
Bitter sweet baby, I been waiting for this
Go straight to Hel,l kick it with the rest of my clique
Fuck a blindfold, I wanna look 'em deep in the eyes
So they can see the full face of the dog as he dies
Plus I wanna see the motherfuckers squeeze
I got a hot date with my soul mate, bust, I can't wait
[Chorus]
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder
Dead end, no escape from it
Should've thought about that shit before you done it
Why, I never wanna die
Don't nobody cry for me, it's only murder

During The Juggalo Show in 1999, Violent J said:
We did a song with Ice-T a while back that we were gonna put on The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, but at the last minute, we decided not to. […] This is a song called “Dead End,” J and Shaggy and Ice-T. We love Ice-T. […] It was gonna be on the album, but...
