Kill the Boy (Live from Angel Studios, London, U.K./2011)
[Verse 1]
I walk around with a bullet on my tongue
Killer written on my face
I know that when he finds out what I've done
It's gonna take his life away
[Pre-Chorus]
And his heart will break, and once the pain will stop the beating
Skin will turn as cold as ice
When his lungs collapse enough, will there be no more breathing?
I will gently close his eyes
[Chorus]
It's gonna kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Verse 2]
I walk around with murder in my eyes
I'm gonna turn my baby blue
I practiced in the mirror hundred times
But still can't bring myself to shoot
[Pre-Chorus]
See, his heart will break, and once the pain will stop the beating
Skin will turn as cold as ice
When his lungs collapse enough, will there be no more breathing?
I will gently close his eyes
[Chorus]
It's gonna kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Verse 3]
I'm in the kitchen when he gets back home
I hide the knife behind my back
My hands are shaking when he smiles at me
The only way he can react
[Pre-Chorus]
See, his heart will break, and once the pain will stop the beating
Skin will turn as cold as ice
When his lungs collapse enough, will there be no more breathing?
I will gently close his eyes
[Chorus]
It's gon' kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Bridge]
Kill the boy
Kill the boy
[Chorus]
It's gonna kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy
I'ma kill, kill the boy, tonight
Alright
Alright
Alright
[Outro]
It's gonna kill, kill the boy
Kill, kill the boy tonight
Tonight
Alright
Alright
