The song seems to be about the narrator having just been broken up with. The ex seems to have taken his money and run to Chicago. Now all the narrator wants is for the ex to just be done with him/kill him.
[Verse 1]
Ain't had no fun
All the time, jacking around
Ain't had no fun
Messing my mind, I kick it around
[Chorus]
But if it's all right with you
And if it's all right, yes, I will
Aw, c'mon, babe, go 'head
To the kill
[Verse 2]
I ain't no Kid Chicago
I ain't no Al Capone
But there's a windy city
In my bedroom alone
[Verse 3]
I said I don't live in Chicago
I don't know no Al Capone
That bitch took my money and she went to Chicago
If I ain't already enough, sick and alone
[Chorus]
But if it's all right with you
And if it's all right, yes, I will
Aw, c'mon, babe, go 'head
To the kill
[Verse 4]
Ain't had no fun
Jack, jack, jack, jack, jacking around
Ain't had no fun, where's it at?
It's down, down, it's downtown
[Chorus]
But if it's all right with you
And if it's all right, yes, I will
Say it now, it's all right with you
And if it's all right, yes, I will
And if it's all right with you
And if it's all right, yes, I will
And if it's all right with you
And if it's all right, yes, I will
Aw, c'mon, babe, go 'head
