I am a killer of men by trade
Nobody dies then nobody gets paid
No women
No kids
That's the only rule there is
Before I was born my mother had a dream
In a fever she despaired at the sight of me
St. John the Baptist condemned my soul to hell
She awoke her water broken all over the sheets
Stoolpigeon I think you might (Tell me)
who done my baby last Saturday night
Who gave her the black eye
Who cut her throat
Who dumped her in the weeds and left her to die
Daddy left when I was small
Mommy died when I was 4
I was raised by wolves until the age of 24
They taught me to hunt
And they pointed me west
They gave me a gun
and my daddy's address
Don't try to save my soul
I was built to make bullet holes
You've got the dollars
I've got the guns
God put me here to make bodies cold
I took the gun out of his mouth
I said "the flames will get you if you don't bleed out"
He said "Please I have a wife and kids"
I said "You mean had. I broke the only rule there is"
